Rochil was uneasy as they rode towards the gap. Something out their in the woods was watching him. He couldn’t shake the hard glares of the eyes from him. The rode towards the gap was quiet. Rochil didn’t feel like talking, for some times when he opens his mouth it comes out the wrong way. He was mad at Liol. Why she get so mad, I thought the whole husband thing was finny because I knew she didn’t have a husband, he thought angrily.
Liol rode up next to him but Rochil didn’t look up. His gaze was fixed on the ground. He didn’t listen to what she said. All of the sudden Rowan started to tremble. He looked up as a clear voice yelled wargs. He turned around to see at least four great wolves running towards them…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rochil didn’t have time to react as Rowan bolted up throwing him in the air. He landed hard on the ground, his spear two feet away. He drew his sword and stood up quickly. As he stood up a warg came charging towards Rochil, while a second went after his horse. He watched the Warg leap onto Rowan and bite his neck, killing him swiftly.
Rochil realized a warg was less than a foot away from him and as it leaped towards Rochil he stabbed the warg in the left shoulder. Rearing backwards it took a swipe at Rochil scratching his in the chest. Rochil quickly rolled over grabbed his spear and thrust it into the wargs belly.
Rochil pulled the bloody spear out of his stomach and threw it at the second warg that was tearing his horse to shreds. The warg scared ran of. Rochil retrieved his spear that now sat in the ground, and watched as the wargs that remained alive ran off in the distance.
Rochil stood and looked around. He saw the bodies of five or so wargs and five dead horses.
