-Ashes-
I had thought we were going to die today. As I saw the battle turning, I felt a sinking despair, but then… that damn elf appeared, and not alone. No, he had an entire army with him! An army of at least eight hundred elves, if not more!
They crashed into the fight, reversing the tide in an instant, catching Richard’s men completely off guard. I glanced at Carter, who was smiling, and together we began pushing through the thinning wall of enemies, weakened by the elves’ onslaught.
I had no idea how Rathilion had managed to persuade his father, but I would owe that damn elf after this battle.
“Ashes!” Suddenly, Carter’s voice called out, and I saw a man approaching me with his sword raised. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched as Carter pulled back his arm and threw his sword.
