She jumped up from her spot as Annet let out a roar. "Annet? What happened?" She demanded as Annet stood and flew down to the ground beside Erthril.
"Fili." She whispered as she quickly climbed onto the back of Annet, who hurriedly flew into the sky.
She spotted a sled with what she assumed were rabbits. Her eyes widened, seeing what the person was leading away.
"Orcs!" She shouts as Annet flies closer to the ground. Some Orcs spotted her, causing the company to look up.
"Erthril!" Fili shouts, seeing as an Orc throws an axe up at her. He is held back by his brother, who is then dragged away by Dwalin.
She sweeps Annet to the side and then unleashes fire upon them. She burns through several of the orcs who are following after the person.
She sees one get too close to the person and shouts, "nár!" A bright red flame burns the orcs in the area.
The person on the sled holds a hand up, signaling her, making Annet turn back to the company.
"Where have they gone!" She shouts before spotting an Orc get shot down by an arrow. Annet flies faster toward them as the other Orcs charge at them.
She hears Gandalf yell at them to run as Annet lets another bright flame out. She flies above the company until looking down.
Her eyes widen, seeing them surrounded and steer Annet to the right. She burned those before her, causing the company to see her.
Kili shot at the Orcs as she burned them. She steered Annet to the left, and her eyes darkened, seeing Ori slingshot an Orc.
It hit the Orc, but he started down at Ori, who turned in fear. "nár!" She shouts, burning the Orcs as Gandalf leads the company into a hiding spot.
She held her spot and looked down, seeing tall figures on horses shooting down Orcs.
The Orcs escaped making her sigh before landing Annet on the ground. "Who are you? Why are you here?" One on a horse asked as the others held their bows at her and Annet.
"I mean no harm. I am Erthril, and I am with Gandalf." She tells them as a new man shows up past the others.
"Erthril, daughter of Saerwen?" The man asks, making Annet lift her head threateningly. "Who are you!" She shouts at him.
He turns his head, and the bows are put down. "I am Lord Elrond. I knew your mother. Would you like to return with us?" He asks, making her squint her eyes.
"We will have a spot made on the rocks for your dragon..." He trails off, looking at her for a name. "Her name is Annet."
He nods his head smiling at her, "You may fly above us." He tells her, making her nod.
As he turns on his horse, she takes flight. "Do you think to trust him?" She asks Annet as they follow the army.
Annet lets out a soft growl, "I will trust your instinct." She says. From the ground, Lord Elrond watches the dragon with a hint of sadness.
