Bali had ordered Belegond to take the new elf to safety, from what Belegond understood he had been hit by a poisen dart and was now extreamly weak. Belegond ran over to the spot where the elf lay, he helped him up and put him on Duelen. Belegond then sprung upon the horse and guided her through the dead orc bodies. Bali created a semi-circle of dwarves. Belegond looked around, he saw that Yanithe was fighting on her own, he wanted to help but knew he must save the elf. He shot a few arrows and brought down the six orcs closest to her. She thanked him and carried on fighting. He then faced forward when he heard Bali shout at the dwarves. The dwarves charged forward and they created a path for Belegond to ride through. Two more orcs stood in his path as he rode, he took out his bow and slayed them with his last two arrows. Belegond the grabbed the riegns of Duelen a sped off in the direction of Rivendell. He checked behind him, there ws no one following. When he reached about four leauges away from the fight he stopped. Belegond dismounted Duelen and brought Hathalas to the ground. He was now unconcius and going cold. His breathing was shallow and quick and his heart beat was faint.

Belegond reached in to his pouch on his waist and brought out a clump of Kingsfoil, he placed into the elve's wound. Hathalas would need elvish medicine, just like Burzdol, but Belegond feared that this poisen wound was much worse. He could see that there was a larger concentration of poisen, for the wound was black and so was the area surrounding it. He didnt know whether to take Hathalas to Rivendell or return to the others. He waited for a moment, he mounted Duelen, placed Hathalas in front of him a rode.
