Darkness… After a going down, Gilbereth could remember nothing. At first he had the strange sensation of floating, but after a while, even that ceased. When he finally awoke, he did so slowly, and as his vision started coming back he became aware of his surroundings. There were Arie and Animention fighting a large spider off to his left, too his right were Taurëwen and Eruwen both tied with webs. He tried to find the others but in vain.

Slowly he got too his feet and staggered over to where the two she-elves were, pulling a small dagger from his boot he worked to free them, this accomplished he went off to help the others fight. Unsheathing his sword Gil came to where Reynion was fighting, a slight limp showed him that Reyn had been injured. Together they were able to slay several more of the beast, Reyn shooting the eyes out and Gil finishing it off with his sword. Finally exhaustion got the better of Gil and he collapsed.

After a few moments he forced himself to get back up and keep on fighting, Reyn had already gone off to help the others, so Gil was once again alone. One more spider came, but thank Eru it was a small one If this keeps on much longer he told himself None of us will ever make it back. Using the bow Taurëwen had made for him, he was able to blind the beast before it reached him, and he then dispatched of it with several quick thrust of his rapier.

His victory was only short lived however, for Gil saw Taurëwen stand up just as a large spider was coming toward her. Not having time to think, Gil dashed forward and madly slashed at the beast. It snapped at him, and he was able to dodge out of the way, the second time however he wasn’t so lucky. The beast’s jaws closed around his wrist, fire shot through his arm, and when he looked down all his hand was no longer there. Oh dear Eru why?!? he screamed in his mind, but there was nothing he could do now.

Darkness took him a second time, but before he had killed the beast. He could no longer help them.
