HELKAHOTHION'S post

Anuionin saw the Wolves charging the group and got filled with courage. Stupid courage, none the less, but courage. He felt that Hamfast was in danger.

"Stay close, Hamfast and keep your weapon ready to strike at any of these rats." Anuionin said.

He grew fond of the hobbit and the only way these creatures where going to get him was over his dead body.

The wolves started to circle and two came close to him. His hand was swift and secure and two axes flew trough the air striking at the wolves. They retreated and Anuionin let out a loud battle cry before rushing into the heat of battle.

Khâzad!!!!!!!

He ran over to tree wolves that where gathered near a tree. The wolves noticed the not so happy Dwarf and launched a counter attack. They jumped around him and attacked him.

The first wolf charged him from below and tried to bit him firmly in the leg. But the agile Dwarf made a leap next to the wolf. The wolf jumped to his throat but was badly surprised of the power in this little man. The stick of his axe knocked him back and the wolf fell on the ground. The axe waved with power and the wolf’s carcass fell on the ground. Screaming of pain it was unable to move: Anuionin slashed his legs off.

In the meanwhile the second wolf snuck up behind the Dwarf and attacked him. But the foolish creature made a leap too big. Anuionin ducked and the wolf landed in front of him with his back facing the Dwarf. By the surprise of Hamfast, Anuionin did not strike to kill, but used the flat side of his axe to spin the wolf around, facing him head on. The wolf, still dazzled from the spin, could not stand his ground and Anuionin split his skull, vertically.

"That will teach you to kill the sheep of my hometown, you disgusting rat!" he shouted at the dead wolf on the ground.

But this was an act of dumb pride and the last wolf leaped to his neck. Anuionin realized that he could not bring his axe up and blocked the bite with his arm. The wolf went trough his equipment and Anuionin lost his balance. The wolf was now on top of him and was still holding his
grip on his arm while scratching his chest, inflicting some serious wounds.

"This is it!" Anuionin thought. "This is the end!"

But suddenly a shiver went through the foul beast and it stopped moving. Anuionin threw the wolf off him and was gladly surprised. He saw Hamfast's sword sticking out of the wolf's head.

"You are truly a blessing from the sky dear Hobbit" Anuionin said.

And then he passed out because of his injuries. He could just hear a cry of victory coming from the fields.
