I HATE THE MIDDLE AGES

Chapter 7: Arrival at Rohan

(The two towers)

Hermione, Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn rushed to rescue Merry and Pipin. After one day Hermione was pale with fatigue and pain, her side ached so much.

"Aragorn, we must rest, or Hermione will die of exhaustion," worried Gimli.

"No... don't... worry... I' ll... catch up with you," Hermione said, but she started vomiting later.

Aragorn approached Hermione and offered his water.

"I will take Hermione," said Legolas, "I am an elf, I do not tire like you mortals."

"All right," said Aragorn.

"No! I can still do it," said Hermione, "but when she got up she noticed her knees shaking."

"Forget it, Hermione, let Legolas carry you," Gimli said, "I would do it, because neither do the dwarves get tired either, but Legolas' legs are so ridiculously long that your feet won't crawl on the floor," he said, looking proudly at the elf.

Legolas bowed and Hermione climbed up on his back as the elf took her on horseback, then holding firmly to Hermione's thighs he began to run.

"I'm sorry," said Hermione, red with shame.

"Don't worry Hermione, it's a pleasure."

"Don't you dare put your hands in strange places, elf!" Gimli shouted in the distance, and Legolas rolled his eyes, while Hermione turned even more red.

"You smell like honeysuckle," said Hermione between awake and asleep, Legolas smiled.

"Shuuu sleep, don't worry."

So three full days went on without resting or stopping, but the orcs did not stop, because the orcs are creatures of simple mind and brutal, and while they have a target (usually looting) focus on this one, forgetting the tiredness. In addition, an orc outperformed other races in that they could eat any kind of food or meat, no matter how disgusting it was, and this aspect was what concerned Aragorn the most, so he refused to give in to fatigue and pain.

"Merry, Pipin, if the orcs start to starve..." thought Aragorn, suppressing a shudder and kept running.

Gimli was behind the group also aware of the dark characteristics of the orcs, tiredness made his legs feel about to burst, but the stubborn characteristic of his race also prevented him from giving in to tiredness and pain.

At dusk on the third day the four friends kept running when they heard the noise of horsemen approaching.

"It could be the Nazgul," Hermione told them, so Aragorn ordered everyone to take refuge behind a large group of rocks, because Hermione had no time to conjure the protection spells.

The fear of friends was unfounded because the riders turned out to be humans belonging to the kingdom of Rohan.

Aragorn stepped out of his covert position and screaming caught the attention of the riders.
