Slowly, as she carved, Elenna began to speak. She was gasping, and had lost a lot of blood from where the uruk had landed some blows with his sword.

" THis E is for my sister Lalaith, who you killed. This L is for all of my companions; Amanaduial, Celebmundoiel, Hogarth, my horse Celebdae, and all the rest who have fallen fighting you this day. This E is for Glorfindel, who lies there, bleeding out his life from where you struck him down. This N is for Rivendell, which we win back but at great cost. This N is for the prisoners you have kept and killed while you have been here..." she trailed off for a second, a tear dripping down her face, but a fire still smouldering in her eyes.

"This last letter, A, is for me, and for all of the scars that you have left on my body, mind and heart that I shall bear long after you are gone."

"Yes. Long after - in the grave!" Azruk said, and with the last of his strength, he drove his sword into the elf-maiden's chest. Laughing a little, his eyes rolled back up into his head and he died.

Elenna, gasping, pulled the great black sword from her body. Then she crawled, bleeding and broken, over to where Glorfindel lay. He was pale, and she could see no signs that he still lived. She lay down, curled up against his still body. "So you have gone before me, my love," she whispered. "I hope you saved a seat for me in Mandos's hall." And with that her pain overcame her, and the bright forest went black.

OOC: Azruk's last stand! And don't worry - it isn't over for Elenna and Glorfindel yet!
