They were now a couple hours from Weathertop. It was night and they were running as best they could. Arlómë and Einen ran with their swords out. They had slain many an orc straggler, trying their best to lighten the attack on the company, but they were unable to keep up. Even though they were weary, they kept going as best they could.

_________________________________________

They stopped.
"Someone is near." Arlómë whispered.
"Let me kill this orc. I've only killed 7, and you've gotten 10 so far." Einen said.
"Its not an orc. Its human. Follow me and stay low. Tread quietly." Arlómë said as he crouched low in the brush.

They crept forward. Einen looked around, trying to see who Arlómë and talked about. He couldn't see anyone yet, but now he could here someone walking around, as if they didn't care if they were heard or not. If there were orcs around, this person sure was making a mistake.
Arlómë could see the figure now. It was a man, looking at the ground casually now and again, as if he was looking for something. The glow of the torch was focused on the ground, so Arlómë was unable to see his face, but he knew it was someone from the company. Finally, they had caught up.

Arlómë advanced to the figure.
"Speak, friend, who are you?" Arlómë said.
The person was startled. He lifted his torch, and Arlómë saw it was the man Belfalod, whom he had met briefly at Bree.
Belfalod looked startled, almost upset at Arlómë's sudden appearance. But then relief showed on his face as he said, "Well met Arlómë. We have waited many days for you, and we've been under many attacks by orcs. As we speak, the elf, Burzdol, lies seriously wounded. I'm looking for the plant Athelas."
"Don't worry. I have many herbs in my pack, including the athelas plant." Arlómë said. He looked back towards Einen. "Come on, Einen, one more run and we'll be there in a few minutes." Arlómë said as he started forward again.
"I'm right behind you, Arlómë. They have our food waiting for us."

---------------------------------------------

They ran off with Belfalod looking after them. With Arlómë and Einen's appearance, his job would be a little more difficult. And plus, that means he would have to get more orcs to replace the ones Arlómë and Einen would kill. Oh well, doesn't matter. What do orcs matter anyways?
Its not easy to fool a Ranger, Belfalod thought to himself. But at least he didn't expect anything. But who best to fool a Ranger than another Ranger?
