Chapter 1: Maybe I'm Pretty, So What?
Aragorn crouched down, his ear to the ground.
"Their pace has quickened." I nodded.
"Their auras are farther away then they were." I fingered the horse on my neck, praying we didn't lose them. Legolas frowned.
"We must pick up pace." We ran a while more, until we saw riders. We hid behind some rocks until they passed. Then Aragorn hailed them. They surrounded us and pointer their spears at us. The leader glared down.
"What business do two elves, a dwarf, and a man have in the Ridimark?" I huffed.
"Thee should watch thy tongue. Thee knows not to whom thee speaks." I whispered. Luckily the leader didn't hear. Aragorn stepped forward.
"We hunt a pack of orks. They hold two of our friends captive." I played with my pendent again. The ring glittered in the sun as I tried to hide my nervousness. The leader's frown deepened.
"We slaughtered the uruks in the night." Gimli gasped.
"Did you see to hobbits?" The leader sighed.
"We left none alive." I clapped my hand over my mouth. No no no no no no. They were dead! One of the soldiers kept staring at me. Did he think I was pretty? Hopefully not.
I was felt a wave of desperation.
"Are you sure?" The answer made my heart drop.
"Yes." I turned to my friends. Our quest had failed.
