Galasriniel depretely tried to untie herself and suceeded. She edged over to Suilena without being noticed and untied her. She clutched her adament elven knife tightly and moved behind Neracelc while he was distracted by Rhayder. 'Thank You for saving us' Galasriniel mouthed to Rhayader, being as silent as possible. She was about to plunge her knife into Neracelc's back, until suddenly she remembered her last 'kill' many years ago. She froze and stepped back. She collapsed to the ground and started to sob, remembering the woeful past of her sorrowful life.

In the midst of the annoying jinggling of Lithoniel's bells Arthion heard the sound of a crossbow then minutes later the decisive twang of an elven bow. "Lithoniel! Take those bells of NOW!" Arthion said in a gruff whisper. Lithoniel knew that tone of voice so she did as he said without question. The bells gone both elves could hear voices distinctly, they rode slowly onward and as they came around the corner they saw four figures. They had come into full view of the others.

Neracelc cursed as he felt the knife in his back, why was this reminding him of something so painfully. A dagger in the back just like then and an annoying group of intruders in his way, Neracelc turned around kicking the stabbing elf and placed his scimitar on her throat. Neracelc looked at the original prisoner and smiled slightly.

"You got lucky, but she didn`t..."

Neracelc dragged his prisoner up and held her in front of him as shield.

"Go ahead shoot now and we`ll see how good you are with your bow!"

Neracelc shouted with a grin of rage and pain on his face, he looked back at his black horse and retreated to it. He kicked her in the back of her knee making hr on her knees as he picked up his rations bag, he threw it on the horse as he still got his sword on her throat.

"Well I must thank you for solving my problems, you have the wounded one who wouldn`t even make it trough the trip and this one even offered herself for the trip so why not?"

Neracelc looked at her prisoner with a sinister smile.

"Isn`t that right?"

Then Neracelc knocked her unconsious and threw on his horse, Neracelc didn`t care about arrows now and jumped on the horse beginning to ride away hoping that the stranger realised he might hit the prisoner.

When the other elf untied Súlena, she winced slightly. Her wrists were now bleeding, as was the knife wound in her side and her leg, and the cuts and bruises on her face. She quickly went to move out of the way and leaned against a tree for support. When Neracelc ran off with the other elf she went to go after, but nearly stumbled to the ground in pain. She held her side, trying to keep herself from falling unconscious as she lost blood each minute.

Rhayader shot another two arrows that missed widely as he ran after the horse. He cursed himself under his breath and slung his bow onto his back. Rhayader glanced at the other elf and walked over to her.
"Who are you and who were they? I want some answers!"

Galasriniel's memory of the past few hours were like a blur, she went over the events of sliding down the tree, getting hit by a poisonous arrow, falling unconcious, gettign tied up, ect. As her eyes opened once more, she clutched onto the horse as she reliased that she was on top of one.
"I never knew I'd end up a damsel in distress....", she whispered to herself. She muttered elven words of Sindarin AND Quenya, and the horse halted. The brutal mortal noticed this but Galasriniel had already staggered away.

Súlena looked at the man before her, she was leaning forward, holding her side. She saw that he was obviously noot one for compassion. "I am Súlena, I do not know who the man is, and he wanted to use me to get into Rohan." She said giving answers that were straight to the point, seeing this man would not want it any other way.

He looked at her for a moment then saw she was telling the truth. He sighed and glanced around.
"Well I suppose i should take you to the next village and get you healed up. Hopefully we'll meet your friend on the way."
He lent over and extened a hand.
"I am Rhayader."

"I'll be right back." Arthion said as he kicked his horse to follow the man and the unconcious elf.
"Arthion! Don't!" Lithoniel pleaded
"I'll be fine!" he shouted over his shoulder then he disappeared around the corner.
Lithoniel dismounted and made her way over to the other elves.
"Where are you wounded?" she asked the she elf. Then she said into the he elf's mind Do not blame yourself, this was not your fault.
Lithoniel knelt down next to the she elf and offered her a flask of wine then began to tend her wounds.

She went to take it, but stopped half way seeing her hand covered in her blood. She hesitated and looked up at him, "Sorry..."

She was not sure about going to a village with someone she did not know, she had a fear of men due to Neracelc being the first one she met, but this man did try to help her and the other elf. "I do not wish to be a burden, my lord."

((OOC: My character is a man))

He looked at the other elf with a raised brow.
"And who are you? You elves seem to pop up everywhere!"
His hand hovered over his sword, Rhayader was not used to so much company in one day and distrusted everyone he met.

(Lithoniel is a she elf.. or were you talking to me?)

"Here." she said pouring the wine into the elf's mouth "Lie still. All will be well." Then turning to the other elf she said "I am Lithoniel of Imladris, I was making my way home with my cousin Arthion, the one who rode after that man. Who are you and what happened?" she asked gently.

((You have reffered to my character as an elf, mine is a man not an elf))

"My name is Rhayader. I think you should ask her what happened."
His hand went to his side. It felt safe enough, but he still didn't trust them.
"I think I should go."

Súlena scooted away from the elf, unsure if she should trust her. She winced when she tended to her wounds anyways. She glanced at the man to her left, but said nothing, nor did she cry out. But when the elf asked about what had happened her voice was filled with the pain she was experiencing. "I was attacked and taken by the man, but he found another elf and ran off with her."

Súlena looked up when the man said that he thought he should go. In a way she trusted him a little more than he trusted the elf, only because she knew that he would not hurt her after he saved her life. She looked down and then back up at him, "Thank you, my lord..."

Neracelc had no intention of staying there and rallied his horse into a gallop, Neracelc gave the poor animal a chance of rest after some miles and jumped off his horse. He looked at the mountain slopes and decided to try to find a safe cover for the night. He made sure that the prisoner had no weapons and tied her up even harder before procceeding to a cave.

He looked around nodding slightly.

"This should do..."

Neracelc threw the unconsious roughly off the horse to the floor and slapped her.

"Wake up time little elf!"
