Chapter Nineteen, The battle for the Hornburg

"You could have picked a better spot," Gimli grumbled as he stood between Boromir and Legolas, Neville and Luna to the left of him and Evelina surrounded by her mates, Legolas and Aragorn on either side of her and Haldir behind her. "We could describe it to you," Boromir offered, smirking. Neville bit his lip to stifle his chuckles.

"Or we could find you a box," Legolas finished. Gimli glared at the two before he burst out laughing. Aragorn walked up behind them to stand beside Eve, the rest of the elves were behind them with Haldir. "Whatever luck you live by," Gimli said to Aragorn, "let us hope it lasts the night."

"Your friends are with you Aragorn." Legolas told his friend.

"Let's hope they last the night." Gimli grumbled as his fist clenched around his axe. "Oh you will don't worry." Evelina smirked sharing a look with Neville and Luna. Aragorn smiled bitterly. "A Eruchîn, ú-dano i faelas a hyn an uben tanatha le faelas!"

"What's that mean?" Boromir asked.

"Show them no mercy," Legolas answered. "For you shall receive none."

"Dartho!" Aragorn yelled to the elves. An old man accidentally released his arrow. It hit an orc in the front.

Smirking Evelina, Neville and Luna set off their traps killing hundreds of Orcs as they stomped and cried in outrage only to stop and look about them cautiously as half their troop was blown up, only to be attacked by more traps and the two deadly plants. As the Orcs hacked at the plants hoping to stop them only for the plants to kill them faster. "And so it begins," Theoden muttered. He unsheathed his sword and held it at the side of his side. "Leithio i phillinn!" Aragorn yelled. The elves released their arrows. They rained down on the orcs. "Give them a volley," Theoden ordered. He thrust his sword forward in front of him.

"Fire!" Theodred shouted to his men. Sirius stepped up next to him and grabbed his hand. "Don't die, love," Theodred whispered. "Will Eve be alright?" He asked looking over to his daughter who was using her magic to kill orcs while hacking at some with her sword spinning around so graciously age looked like she was dancing. "I could say the same to you," Sirius grinned weakly. Theodred squeezed his hand. "I hope so. She's been in more than she should and more than I wish she had, after this she's staying out of all battles."

"Agreed." Thèodred muttered squeezing his husbands hand. "Fire!" Aragorn shouted again.

"I love you," Sirius said.

"I love you too," Theodred replied. He raised his swords as orcs began scaling the wall. Sirius knocked the ladder closest to them over. "Don't leave me," Theodred whispered before engaging an uruk-hai in battle. Sirius and Theodred stood back to back, fighting off the orcs.

"Pendraid!" Aragorn shouted. Elves began firing down the ladders, knocking off multiple uruk-hai at a time. Aragorn's eyes widened as he saw an uruk-hai with a flaming torch. "Na fennas!" he yelled. Elves began shooting the the uruk-hai.
