Arlómë guided his sight down the shaft of his arrow, then he released it into the back of an orc. He only had a couple left, and he could see that Ani Dao was slowly losing ground to many orcs. He concentrated the rest of his arrows on the group attacking her, but there was still too many. Two orcs, seeing that Arlómë had spent all his arrows, charged. He pulled out his two daggers and threw them into the necks of the orcs. He drew his sword and turned towards Einen, who was doing pretty well.
"Einen, go back up Ani Dao. Quick! I'll back you up!"
Einen nodded and ran towards the orcs fighting Ani Dao.
Arlómë followed but another orc attempted to block his way. He quickly decapitated it, but another blocked his way. It stabbed towards his chest, but Arlómë dodged to the right. He swung his sword down on its arm, severing it. The orc cried out in a howl of pain, but Arlómë cut it short by bringing his sword back up and decapitating the beast. Just as he started after Einen, a larger orc got in the way. It swung its crude blade downward. Arlómë blocked it by bringing his sword up. The orc was strong, and Arlómë couldn't overpower it. Slowly, the orc began to overpower him. Arlómë kicked his foot out into the stomach of the orc. That caught it by surprise, but it quickly recovered. It swung its giant fist out, catching Arlómë in the side of the face. He was knocked down to the ground with stars dancing around his head.
The orc swung its sword down, but Arlómë rolled to the side. Arlómë rolled back into the sword, knocking the sword out of the orc's hands. Quickly, Arlómë brought his sword up, jabbing it into the chest of the monster. As the orc died, its weight made the blade do deeper into the carcass. Arlómë rolled back over, and was able to get up. He yanked the sword out of the body and ran over the ever growing crowd of orcs after Ani Dao. He could see Einen fighting furiously.
