*Sen smiles as he walks up the steps to the balcony in front of the Citadel.* You are welcome, my lady. Speed is necesary in battle, and sometimes a stronger opponent may be beaten by a faster one. Shall we go inside?

Silmeriel nodded, entering.

Miralyn ran following Sen. She suddenly knew what the danger was. "Sen, there are orcs coming and coming quickly! We have to warn everyone!"

Silmeriel's shoulders sank. "I thought that was it." she said softly. "I've felt them coming for days, but I didn't want it to be true." Because of the vision... she thought. She had Forseen that the cost of victory in this battle would be her life. She would give it, to save this city and its people, but there was so much that would be left unsaid, so much left undone.

*Sen only smiles at this information. He had known all along.*
I know. That is why I have come here, borne upon the wave of their coming. There wil be a great battle the day after tomorrow; that is when they will arrive. I must be heard by the Steward.
*Sen looked at them, and it was then that they saw a brief glimpse of what he truly was. He was as if a warrior prince from a time long ago had fixed them with his stare; and then the image was gone.*

Miralyn became frightened. She didn't know how to fight. She could use a sword a little bit, but that was it... "Can someone teach me to fight? My parents died before they could teach me."

In the time we have before the battle; very doubtful. You can learn in a minute to swing a sword, but it takes a lifetime to learn how to use it. I do have something you may be able to use, however.
*From a pack on his back, Sen drew a long crossbow. It was wooden, and had a handle under it, that allowed it to be drawn quickly.*
It shouldn't be to hard for you to use this; just point and pull. Here is a quivver of bolts for it.
*He drew a small bundle of bolts out of the same pack.*
Now, we must see the Steward, urgently.

"Thank you." she told him. .She lifted the arrow and pulled back the quiver. "No, this is not that hard at all." She fingered the bow. "I think I can do this." She smiled at Sen.

(OOC: Just making sure you know this, the quivver holds arrows not in use. Bolts are the version of arrows for crossbows. Don't shout at me if you already know that, please.)
*Sen smiled, though the smile hid his sadness. He knew what it was like to be eager for a battle if you hadn't been in one before, yet that feeling had died out long ago in him. He had fought too many battles, and see too many good men die to be excited over battles.*
That is good to know.
*Sen started up the steps to the doors of the citadel, and two guards pulled them open.*

Isteleth ducked pushing her mother and Lady Eowyn out of the way, Faramir stood up in roar "Who dares attack my city!" Isteleth looked at her mother and Eowyn and rolled her eyes "Naneth we have to get to safer ground" Isteleth whispered "You get to the citadel, i'll get Lord Faramir!" she crawled back while grasping for her sword, she stood up and ran towards Faramir "My Lord come we must go" she said urgently killing a orc that ran at her "Never i must stay and protect my kingdom!" he yelled, Isteleth felt the rage fill inside of her "It's not your kingdom, it's my father's you know King Aragorn?! Your just the steward you have no power!" she grabbed him by the arm and dragged him after her mother and his wife, she pushed him through the door before killing a orc she then ran in herself and slammed the door locking it behind her. She spotted Silmariel, Sen and Miralyn talking at the end of the corridor "Sen, Silmariel the orcs have gotten in i have managed to lock the door but they will over power it soon we have to get everyone out of the city and get a message to my father!" she said urgently

((OOC. Oops. Thanks. I didn't know that) Miralyn looked around. She saw them. The orcs were breaking through the wall. "Over there! I see them." What she didn't know is that the orcs were sneaking up behind her...

Silmeriel's glaive flashed three times, cutting down the orcs behind the unaware girl. *Isty, we can't get them out, there's an orc horde outside!* she called frantically. *I'll send my birds with a message for your father, though. In the mean time, take command of the City Guard.* She drew her own bow and fired rapidly.

*Sen walked calmly into the citadel, despite the thirty or so orcs already inside. One spotted him, and shouted to the others.*
Kill him! Feed him to the maggots! Sauron wants him dead!
*Ten orcs broke off and ran for Sen. They were almost upon him, when the first one fell, cleaved in half. They looked at the fallen orc, and screamed louder. It was then that all present noticed the swords in Sen's hands. They were black, with purple rune writing running down them.*
Leave now, before you all die. You have a choice.
*The orcs laughed, and charged.*
So be it.
*Said Sen quietly, and then he burst into action like a thunderclap. With his first stroke he fell three orcs, the swords singing as they sliced through the orcs with little resistance. Sen began to carve a path to the Steward, hewn orcs lying in his wake.*

She swung her sword killing 2 orcs "Need any help?" she asked him slicing the head off of one then plunging her sword through another's stomach

Silmeriel vaulted over toward them on the pole of her glaive. "Where is their leader?" she asked quietly.
