Spiders And The Elven King

You were on an errand for Radagast, he wanted to know why so many spiders were appearing in the forest Mirkwood. You took your knife, bow and arrows and your trusted sword and went on your way.

Seeing as Radagast and you had lived near Mirkwood, you did not take your horse Midnight. You ventured in the forest making sure not to touch the water around here. Radagast had informed you that the water was as dark as night and should you even drink from it, you would fall asleep. That bit was not the scary bit though. Apparently, Radagast had also told you that when you wake up, you would not remember your name, let alone what you did last week, Tuesday.

No, you were playing it safe by staying well away from any water in this forest.

As you walk deeper in the forest, you noticed it was getting dimmer but that didn't stop you as you were made of studier stuff and a little light loss was nothing to worry about, right?

You come across the dreaded water and you made sure not to touch it. It was not as easy as you'd liked as the light in the sky was to you, ebbing away. Suddenly you heard a sound and you automatically look up and saw a massive spider slowing desending towards you.

You knew there was something evil about these spiders but you had no idea they were that big. There were nearly as big as Radagast's Rhosgobel rabbits, though you knew the rabbits were not evil, these creepy crawleys were though.

Grabbing your bow and arrow you quickly place your arrow in the bow and aim for the advancing spider. You fired your arrow and knew you hit it as you heard the spider cry out in pain. The spider fell and you quickly stepped out of the way. You didn't want a dead spider fall on top of you, especially as they could still sting you.

There were more of these spiders coming from all sides of you and you quickly replace your bow and arrows and took hold of your sword, knowing that your arrows would only help you for a little while. You heard movement from above you and you instinctively thusted your sword upward and pieced the skin of yet another spider. The fight was now on.

You began the sword dance, as you skillfully kill many spiders but you knew when one spider was taken care of, another would take its place. You knew this was ridiculous and had to leave the forest. So while you sliced another spider you quickly made a dash for it knowing full well they were chasing after you.

A spider very nearly went for you but an arrow had pierced one of the many eyes of the spider, knocking the spider sideways. Taking this as a sign, you stabbed the spider in the chest, making sure it was dead, before running of once more.

Even more arrows were flying past you and you wonder what was happening. You run into a clearing and for a second you took a change and slowed down and waited for your heart to return to normal. Yet another arrow flew past you and you were beginning to think that whoever was firing them out, were aiming for you, instead of those spiders.

"If you value you life, Miss, I'd suggest you keep running!" a voice close behind you said, causing you to raise your sword in a defending pose.

You don't turn around however as you knew he was right, you had to run, taking a deep breath you began running again, knowing full well you were being followed by someone else now as well as the spiders.

Another spider blocks your escape and you groan. Using your trusted sword you watch the spiders movement before you make your move. As the spider nears you, you dodge out of the way and manage to cut of one of its legs, big mistake! The spider suddenly turns and manages to sting your arm with its teeth causing you to groan out in pain.

With the last of your strength, you push your sword right in the spiders stomach, before you fall to your knees in defeat. Having a last look around you, the light around the forest was now gone and in it's place, was complete darkness. You felt achy and very sleepy before nothing.
