Alastegiel (Estelwen) POV

We had just walked  through the doorway in the mountain. Arathorn, Legolas, Gimli and I. I try to keep my breathing steady as we walk down this path. I hear faint whispering but, it might just be in my head.

Aragorn has a torch and he shines it down a path that goes off if the one we are currently on. I look to see hundreds, many thousands of skeleton heads. I shudder and look away.

“What is it? What do you see?" Gimli says to Legolas who is looking at the path I had just looked at.

“I see shapes of men. And of horses." Legolas tells Gimli.

“Where?" Gimli asks.

“Pale banners like shreds of cloud." Legolas continues as we keep walking down the path. “Spears rise, like winter-thickets through a shroud of mist. The Dead are following. They have been summoned."

“The Dead? Summoned?" Gimli asks as he looks all around him. I can tell he feels scared, although I know he will never admit it. I stay silent, because I am also scared my self. “I knew that. Huh, ha. Very good. Very good. LEGOLAS!" He shouts running after us.

All of the sudden, the are mists that are shaped as hands moving around us. Legolas, Aragorn and I are swatting them away. While Gimli just tries to blow them away.

Aragorn steps on something and it makes a crunching noise. “Do not look down." He warns us.

But when I step and hear a crunching noise, I can't help but look down. They are skeleton heads. I close my eyes and try to stay calm as I take another step and hear yet another crunching noise.

I keep hearing the bones crunch beneath my feet with every step I take, until there are no more on the ground. I breathe out a sigh of relief.

We keep moving and we come to a clearing in the mountain. I look all around me. There us a huge cliff to my right, and in front of us, there are some steps leading up to an entrance. To what, I do not know.

“Who enters my domain?" A really creep voice says and then he appears.

“One who will have your allegiance." Aragorn says to him.

“The Dead do not suffer the living to pass." The creepy voice says.

“You will suffer me." Aragorn says.

The creepy guy laughs and tons more like him appear all around us. They have armour on and they also have weapons. They walk closer to us and surround us.

The creepy guy continues talking, “The way is shut. It was made by those who are Dead. And the Dead keep it. The way is shut. Now you must die."

What have we gotten ourselves into?
