Part Twelve

Bell was terrified. She didn’t want to go into battle but they needed her. She was a good archer and she could aid the healers as well. Neither she nor Adandil had slept all night. She had worked on her arrows while he sharpened his blades. Neither had said much as they worked.

When the dawn came, they dressed in their armor and went to field where the rest of Oropher’s troops were assembling. The mood was somber. The cavalry mounted their horses and the archers followed on foot.

It was to be a day no one would ever forget.
