Elen was ready, they came rushing down the hill but she had a suspicious feeling there were more to come. She drove her kuni into the first Dunlendings stomach and then another and another. It seemed to go on for ever but she kept fighting. And she was right the second wave came down upon them now. There were more, about five to each of the company including the hobbits! They had started to fight and a valient battle they put up, but it would not help much though Elen was greatful. They kept going.
As she fought she heard a cry from behind her, as she spun round to aid the person who had shouted out she was knocked to the ground. Blood poured over her head and all of a sudden she felt extreamly tired, she wanted to sleep. But there was too much background noise, shouting, clashing. She closed her eyes to try and block the sound out, it worked. She slowly drifted off.
