"The Lord of the Rings" rightfully belong to J.R.R. Tolkien, I only own my OC's.

[Author's Note]
Finally, finally some action. So as usual I will be using a variety of ways to write the dialogues.

"This is japanese."
"This is english."
'This is MC's thoughts.'
This is MC's memories.
"This is sindarin."

I will try and use elvish as much as I can but it will be hard so I will also be using the format above.

It was the next day after Sierra was trapped in the cave-in. Kazuki was currently walking around in the long hallways of the ice rink in Chukyo University.

"Kazuki!"

As Kazuki turned around, he saw the small figure of Shoma Uno running towards him.

"I heard about it from Mihoko-sensei," Shoma looked at his rinkmate and friend worriedly."You alright?"

"As well as I can be with a friend trapped in a cave alone," Kazuki then winced, probably aware of how callous that sounded. "Sorry, didn't mean to sound snarky."

"I won't say that I understand what's happening to you because I don't but I'm here alright? You can talk to us," Shoma patted Kazuki on the back. "You can talk to me."

"Thanks Shoma-kun."

The first thing I heard once I came to were the snarling voices of my captors.

Groaning in pain, I opened my eyes as I felt my whole body throb in pain. 'I'm an athlete and I like to think that I have pretty good stamina but being thrown around can be pretty bruising.'

‘Okay, the dried blood in my face feels disgusting.’

The two oni in the clearing are currently sitting in front of the fire, lounging about and probably planing how they'll eat me.

Feigning unconsciousness is pretty easy, especially since I already feel like sleeping the rest of the day away but since these oni might just eat me in the next hour or so, I wouldn't risk it.

As I pretended I'm still dead to the world, I tried to feel around my surroundings as much as I can with bound hands.

Patting the ground, I felt the cold steel of my skate's blade. 'Oh yeah, that oni was throwing my stuff around earlier. It seems that one of my skates landed right behind me. Useful.'

'Okay. I am bound to a tree with your hands and your feet also bound. I have my skates behind me which are in optimum position that I can "Blades of Glory" myself out of here. Hopefully anyways.'
