Chapter 11: That Still Only Counts As One
Alastegiel (Estelwen) POV
Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli and I are waiting on the shores of a river. Men in boats are approaching us.
"You may go no further." Aragorn says to them. "You will not enter Gondor."
The men start laughing and one of them questions, "Who are you to deny us passage?"
"Legolas, fire a warning shot past the bosun's ear." Aragorn tells Legolas.
Legolas takes out an arrow and Gimli says, "Mind your aim."
When Legolas goes to take a shot, Gimli moves his bow. The arrow instead goes into the man's stomach.
"Oh." Gimli says and puts his hand over his mouth. "That's it. Right. We warned you. Prepare to be boarded."
They all start laughing again.
"Boarded? By you and whose army?"
"This army." Aragon says and the ghost army runs through us and towards the boats.
~~~
We have finally arrived at Gondor. All of are staying down and quiet so no one can see us. I can hear the Orcs talking.
"Late as usual, pirate scum! There's knife-work here that needs doing."
"Come on, you sea rats! Get off your ships!"
Then Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and I jump off of the ships. The Orcs all look shocked. We start walking towards them, they are ready to fight.
"There's plenty for the three of us. May the best Dwarf win." Gimli says.
That's when the ghost army appears and the Orcs are terrified and try to run. I am killing Orcs left and right. Both Gimli and Legolas are counting their kills out loud.
"Legolas!" Aragon shouts.
I look over to see a giant Oliphant. I watch as Legolas runs up to it and jumps on one of its tusks. He then swings to its front leg, then its back leg and uses the arrows that have pierced it to climb up on to its back.
He starts shooting at the men on top. He takes a rope and swings off. Cutting the other ropes which makes what the men are on fall over and Legolas goes up and back onto the Oliphant's back.
I barley miss a hit from an Orc when it attacks me. I kill it and look back over at Legolas, he has shot multiple arrows into the Oliphant's head and is sliding down its trunk. He lands on the ground gracefully and Gimli stares at him in disbelief.
"That still only counts as one." Gimli tells him.
I shake my head and continue killing Orcs. The ghost army has been a big help. Soon, there are no more Orcs left for me to fight.
The battle is finally over, but I do not think it will be the last. I do not know how much more I can take, I am starting to feel weak.
Gandalf approaches me, "We are going to need help. Can you summon your friends, every bird and beast that is willing to help?"
"Of course, when should I go?"
"Not yet. But, I will let you know."
"Alright, Gandalf."
I sure hope that we will be able to win this war.
