It was nearly dawn when Elenna heard hoofbeats coming closer and closer to camp. Leaping up, she grabbed her sword from its scabbard next to her and stood, ready for anything. Behind her, she heard the rest of the camp also awake, prepared to do battle. Then the young elf who had been keeping sentry came up to her.
"My lady, it is Lindir and the rest of the army! They say they have seen orcs!"
"Thank Elbereth! They made it! Tell Lindir I wait for him in my tent, along with Therin and Glorfindel. We'll want a full report."
