My thigh is a bit better this morning but I did not sleep well the night that was due to the wound and the pain, the rain and the thunder woke us up and once the camp fire was burning someone made some stew and we all ate from it..then the lightning stroke the rock we all were sitting by and it threw me to the ground and scared off our horses, and a goat for a dwarf.. Some started to run after them, poor Mynna, she lost her horse as well as the dwarf lost his goat..
We then passed some trolls and a swamp thanks to a distraction and after a while we came up to a abandoned elf camp..well not so empty was it not..one elf had remained and he greeted our leader Fiontann..then..horn signals..one..two..three..four..and five.. Orcs were coming to attack us at the camp..for a start the ones who was not wounded started to defend us..orcs fell and our company took wounds as well..that was then Mynna could not sit still and asked who was with her to charge and aid our comrades..I got help from Mynna and Amy as the others call her to mount up on my horse and I rode out, for Eorl and for Rohan..charged the incoming wargriders, only to have one scratch my shoulder with his blade to taking an arrow to my left shoulder was well when the orcs retreated..for now..Fiontann made sure we all got into one of the buildings..there I passed out after Rothrian had taken out the arrow.. Now in the middle of the night I sit here..listening to the others sleeping..listening for sounds outside the house as well and I can not hear anything apart from the soft breathing from the company..
I should get back to sleep myself but I can not..the pain is back in my shoulder but I need to push it away and stay strong..the time will come when this rider will ride again for the red dawn...for ruin...and for death...
