And so we have gathered and prepared to pull off the rescue of my brother. Araithil seemed to be calm but I was really nervous to return there. I was also wondering what happened to Iarnuil, as I felt frightening emptiness in my life after I've lost him. After a long journey we finally stopped on the border of North Ithilien and the Morgul Vale. "Do you see them anywhere?" - Araithil asked me as we were supposed to meet our friends and the elf here. I looked around and only one thing caught my attention. I have spotted a large eagle that landed on a tree branch not far from us and looked in our direction. It couldn't be a wild eagle, it seemed like its owner was somewhere near. I pointed it out to Araithil. "Good point, let us go." - He said towards me and soon after an elf maiden startled us by approaching from behind. Araithil seemed startled. "Oh, who are you?" - he asked as he turned around to face her. "Mae govanenn. Elen Sila lumen omentielvo." - The lady then spoke towards us. I did understand her but I weren't fluent enough in Sindarin yet to answer so I just waited for Araithil to handle the situation. "Oh... you must be the one we didn't get to meet before." - He then spoke to the elf. I kept watching them as well as the surroundings. "Ma istal quet' Eldarin?" - She asked once again in elvish and then revealed herself with a smile. She was a very tall one. Araithil shook his head at her words, seemed like he understood her but didn't answer in that language. He seemed to be indicating that he'd rather speak the common tongue. Then she introduced herself in it and we did as well. We observed the eagle we have seen before for a moment. "We need to find our brothers..." - I then said to them as I became more nervous from all this waiting. Araithil looked at me and then at the elf. "Shall we join the others?" - He then asked but the answer frozen the blood in us. "Yes and we must be quick. Nethillon's time is running out." - The Lady then answered. Then, we moved with the fear inside us through that blasted region to soon reach the spot where I have last seen Iarnuil. There were so many dead bodies around but none was his. Soon, we have reached a tree cluster where I have spotted him. Iarnuil was sitting by a tree with a pool of blood surrounding him. He seemed to have a big chest wound which he tried to staunch as his hand was still pressed against it. I was worried, he looked like he has been already dead but the elf leaned down to him. "Alive barely. Let me do my work, guard the surroundings." - She then told us after examining him. And so we did as she continued to treat our brother, we kept the guard. Soon, we have spotted an orc patrollers around and I have seen Araithil ambushing and killing them. Afterwards, we hid the dead orcs to avoid being detected. Then as the elf finished to treat the wound we moved Iarnuil to a safer spot from where the cavalry would take him home. I, then was sent to watch over the surroundings again and it was safe for now. Araithil and the elf have joined me not long after that. As we proceeded closer to the shadowy shape of Minas Morgul I was getting even more nervous but Araithil kept me calm enough. We followed the secret way into the city and as soon as we managed to enter a Nazgul's shrieks almost broke all the courage I had. I shivered for a while before we moved on. "Must be quick..they do will eventualy smell us.." - The elf whispered to us as we moved on. - "Someone needs stay guard the back." - She then finished as we got into the main hallway. Soon, I was left alone keeping guard on the hallway. I heard a commotion upstairs but remained hidden and putting to death any orc that would show up around. Not long after we escaped the city and soon we were on the way home. As we reached it I stayed outside to talk with the cavalry that helped us.
