*Death stepped backwards and dissapeared, while Sen stepped forwards towards Deawen. All of a sudden , he looked up and to his left. A look of both anger and worry came over his face. He ran to Deawen, and grabbed her hands.*
Quickly Deawen! We must bring you back. Thiren is in grave danger, and I must get to him.
*Sen pulled on her hands, and suddenly they were both falling. Sen fell back into his body, and jumped to his feet as Deawen opened her eyes.*
I must leave you for a while, Deawen, but I will return as soon as Thiren is safe.
*Sen stepped backwards into the shadows and was gone. He sped through the shadows, and drew his sword as he did. He arrived in the shadows of a tree a few feet away from where Thiren was pinned by a man with an evil-looking barbed sword.*
Release him!

Adastrea kept her horse at a constant gallop. Her arm was bleeding badly and her vision was darkening. She was not sure how much longer she would be able to stay awake. She headed towards Minas Tirith, now nearly laying on her horse. She was getting weak from a loss of blood. Finally she could not stay awake any longer. She felt herself fall, but did not feel the pain of hitting the ground and rolling. Her horse stopped and quickly went back to her.

The evil man twisted the sword a little more in Thinren's shoulder and he let out another cry of pain. He felt the blade sctratching against his bone. He was sweating heavily as he took deep breaths. He put his free hand on the blade and tried to pull it free. His hand slipped on the blade and more blood stained the metal. He kept his hand on the blade and scowled at Balor. Balor turned to Sen.
"Come near me and i'll kill him."
He pulled out another knief and held it to Thinren's throat.
"Now then Thinren.."
Thinren looked shocked.
"How do you..."
"Oh i know all about you Thinren, I've been waiting for you to turn up so you can lead me to her."

After a time Adastrea awoke slightly disoriented. She held her arm, it hurt badly. She looked around, not seeing much but trees and her horse. She crawled over to a tree and leaned against it with a sigh. Her head was spinning after the fall, she needed to just sit for a moment. She closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the tree and sat silently. She thought she heard voices, but she wasn't completely sure.

"stay! i know somethings wrong i know it but STAY!" Deawen shouted she knew she was in no condition to travle or fight and it was killing her Eston sat near the fire and listened and nodded sometimes. "What was death like?" Eston asked trying to change the subject "i don't know..." "but you died you must know.." "you want to die to find out?!" Deawen snapped Eston looked hurt Deawen sighed "i'm sorry Eston i shouldn't have said that...it's just i'm tired of being left behind..." Deawen appolgized.

Adastrea got to her feet and began moving towards the voices. She hid behind a tree and tried to keep herself from crying out at what she saw. She looked at Balor who had his back to her, then at Thinren who was pinned to a tree by a sword in his shoulder. She tried to decide what to do.

Thinren looked shocked, his mind raced, how did he know all this? The knief touched his skin and Thinren gulped.
"Now the Thinren call to her and i will spare your life."
Balor grined reveeling his teeth. Thinren grimaced and looked away.
"Come now Thinren it doesn't have to be this hard."

[!*#_:]

Adastrea couldn't decide what to do. Did she give up her people for one man or did she watch the one who she was beginning to trust and maybe even love, die. She stepped out from behind to tree, hoping he would see her, she could not hear what Balor was saying, she was just out of range, but she didn't want him to kill Thinren.

Thinren glanced back at Balor and saw Adestrea standing there... Tears welled up in eyes. This could be his last chance to see her. He smiled and let a tear fall down his face.
"You can find her yourself."
He stared into Balors dark eyes.
"You'll get nothing from me snake!"
Balor's grin turned to a snarl. Balor slowly pulled the knief back and pointed the tip at Thinren's heart. He drew it back further.
"Well you have made your choice and you have chosen death."
The knief was poised to through his heart.

Adastrea watched in horror as Balor readied himself to send the knife through Thinren's heart. She could not let him die over her. Without anymore thought she ran out of the woods and screamed, "No!" She stopped halfway to them and looked at Balor, "You want me, you have me...let him live..."

Balor turned and grined.
"..At last I have you were I want."
Thinren looked in horror, she shouldn't have done this.
"No! Adestrea run!"
Balor looked back at him and noticed the knief. He pulled his sword out and as Thinren slumped forward the knief went into his belly. Thinren let out a silent cough and felt an imense pain. He leaned on Balor's shoulder and looked at Adestrea, tears in his eyes.
He let out one last word with his remaining strength.
"Run!"
He fell to the ground with a heavy thud. Balor turned to Adestrea.
"Well then now, that's out the way we can finish our business."

Adastrea looked at Thinren in horror. Tears slipped down her face as he slumped forward. This was her fault. "Please...let me tend to him...get him back to safety. Then I will come back freely. You have my word." She said quietly.

Balor laughed and shook his head.
"I don't think so Adestrea, we finish this here and now."
He took a few steps forward with his sword pointing towards her.



((OOC: could you rp him i dunno what you want him to do and i dont like using him))

Adastrea stepped back slightly, but when she looked at the sword she did nothing. Maybe she would get lucky and he would kill her. She watched him move silently, just a little more and it would be over. Her gaze went to Thinren, she felt horrible, an emptiness seemed to spread through her, an emptiness she had felt for so many years that she hadn't noticed in the past few days. She didn't understand this. She looked back at Balor who had stopped coming towards her. She winced as two men came up behind her and pulled her arms behind her. She closed her eyes, they weren't going to kill her. Balor smirked, 'A sense of hope only to have the hope burn...like your sister in your house. You thought that was the other man after you, you were wrong."

At the mention of her sister she looked at him and glared, anger welling up within her. She looked for ways to get out of this, but could think of none.

(stupid death...stupid gift...stupid pointy objects!....(you peoples expression s )

"SEn never said to stay so i'm going to go find whats the latest attack!" Deawen said putting on her cloak again she still felt weak but nothing she couldn't handle (ha ha ha yeah right)

but ESton would not let her pass "Eston let me pass you fool!" Deawen yawned "i won't let you get hurt you need to rest!" Eston would not move
Deawen did not want to hurt him he had shown her trust and loyalty."Fin e i will stay but you my friend will have to leave this room..."
