I HATE THE MIDDLE AGES!

Chapter 9: Helm's Abyss

(The two towers)

The next morning, they had an audience with the king. Earlier, Hermione had spoken to Eowyn about the need for him to seek refuge. Éowyn agreed, but confessed that his uncle would not have easy access to this, so she suggested taking a couple of children in front of the king who fled his village due to the orcs attack.

At the meeting, the King was saddened by the loss of several villages and the plight of the two children in front of him. Hermione dared not speak in front of the monarch again, so she took care of comforting the children.

Aragorn together with Gandalf convinced the monarch to seek refuge.

"We will need your nephew Eomer and his horsemen," said Gandalf, offering to bring them into the abyss of Helm.

"I will arrive at the dawn of the third day, you must resist," he said and ran toward the stables.

The king ordered everyone to prepare for departure and Hermione helped as best as she could, especially with her Featherweight spell for non-combatants, horsemen and soldiers, and with Protego "shielded" their armor against swords and arrows.

"Remember," Hermione explained, "the arrows will not pierce your armor, just like swords and mallets, but that will not prevent your bones from breaking and bleeding out inside, you are not invincible!"

The riders nodded and the explorers thanked her warmly as Hermione turned their helmets into (horrible) motorcycle helmets, they were also under the protection of the Protego spell and the helmet's shielded glass visor gave them a large field of vision, unlike their old helmets.

During the march to the abyss of Helm, Hermione, Eowyn and Gimli spoke of various things. Éowyn was surprised by Hermione's courage in her world as well as her journey to Rivendel and subsequent mission to the fellowship.

"For Merlin! Gimli, are you all right?" Hermione asked the dwarf after he fell off his horse.

"Hermione, don't spoil the dwarf, after all they are known for their tougher skin and even tougher head," said the elf.

"We'll be tough skinned, but at least we're not delicate "gents" like you."

"I am not delicate, I am only finer than you," replied Legolas to which Hermione laughed, blushing poor Legolas, while Gimli laughed with pure contentment.

"We're under attack!" there was a scream.

"They are huargos, we are attacked by huargos riders!" a rider shouted.

Hermione hurriedly helped Gimli get on his horse, but when she was ready to get on her own, Legolas and Gimli asked her to stay.

"I can't stay! I gotta help you guys."

Friends exchanged looks of concern but were sent to battle by Aragorn.

Hermione barely spotted the orcs, trapped his mounts with the Incarcerous, the orcs riders in this way were easy prey of the Rohan riders.
