Gimli jumps up and down trying to look over the wall "What's happening out there?" I smile and try not to laugh Legolas smiles "Should I describe it to you or would or would you like me to find you a box?" Gimli laughs "How about a little competition who ever kills the most wins,." Legolas nods I roll my eyes slightly and watch as the Uruks start to bang their spears up and down growling. The men with bows knock arrows and aim down at the Uruks. One arrow is let fly and an Uruk collapses. Dead. The Uruks all growl and brandish their weapons running forward. 

All the elves around me nock and arrow and pull back the string waiting for the order to fire. Legolas whispers "Their armour is weak at the neck." I smile slightly and nod "I know." We all fire and Uruks fall dead on the ground. Gimli looks annoyed "Did they hit anything?" I nod and nock another arrow. I continue shooting arrows  and the Uruks reach the bottom of the wall shooting their own arrows up at us. Several elves get hit but I try to ignore them continuing to shoot. I concentrate my magic and light the ends of my arrows as they fly hitting Uruks every time. 

The Uruks put ladders against the walls and Gimli grins brandishing his axe. I watch Skylar swoop low over the Uruks picking them up and throwing them several foot before they hit the ground usually squashing several others. I put my bow on my back and draw two of my swords as Uruks pour over the walls. I lose Legolas and Gimli in the fighting and move along the wall trying to get close to the ladders to cut them down. 

Skylar?

Yes?

Focus your fire on the ladders.

I don't think thats a good idea what if it gets out of control.

Can you push the ladders away from the walls?

That I can do.

Stay safe little one. 

I kill several more Uruks and spot Ailmar and Haldir. At least they're still alive I just hope the same goes for Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn. Skylar swoops over and two ladders fall squashing several Orcs. Skylar flighs high again dodging all the flying arrows and I lose her in the fighting. I start moving along the wall and hear Gimli counting. I roll my eyes and kill several more Uruks that get too close. I notice that they are moving up the causeway and move towards it switching back to my bow.

An explosion goes of about halfway down the wall and I turn to see stone raining down on both sides a gaping hole appearing in the wall. I scowl and run towards the door knowing that it will soon give. Focusing my magic on killing any Uruks that get within a certain distance. Helms deep can not survive if there are two weaknesses. I run along the top of the gate and fire my arrows down at the Uruks as they try and ram down the door. I hear someone yell "Fall back to the keep."

The door splinters and I continue shooting down the Uruks blocking out the screams of pain below. Every so often I see the blue of Skylar flashing in the sky. I continue shooting and refilling my quiver by magic. I stop when I see Aragorn and Gimli appear infront of the Uruks protecting the gate. I turn my attention back to the ladders only to see more appearing all laden with Uruks. I shoot at the wires holding them and two fall but more takes its place.

I scowl and hear someone yell "Fall back." It echoes along the wall and I slowly walk backwards shooting the Uruks. I run into the fortress as the doors are being pushed closed and Skylar lands next to me. I wrap my arms around her neck "Are you alright?" she nods slightly and walks over to an empty corner falling asleep. I look around for Legolas, Ailmar, Aragorn and Gimli but can't see them anywhere.
