Serena's POV

We're resting in a rocky grass plain while Legolas and a few soldiers keep look out. Èowyn carries a pot of stew handing out bowls to people. I lay by Papa as he smokes his pipe. We watchÈowyn offer Gimli some stew and she declines it. Must be terrible if he refuses it. She approaches us and I smell the stew. It smelt terrible, I'm glad I ate before.

"I made some stew. It isn't much, but it's hot" she states. She gives Papa a bowl and spoon.

"None for me thanks, I already ate" I tell her and she nods her head. Papa thanks her for the food dipping the spoon into it. He tastes and looks up at her, trying not to grimace. I try not to laugh or smile.

"It's good" he says nodding and Èowyn. She turns around and begins to walk away. Papa turns to pour out the stew, but Èowyn turns around. He recovers, spilling some on his hand.

"My Uncle told me a strange thing. He said that you rode to war with Thengel, my grandfather. But he must be mistaken" she explains.

"King Théoden has a good memory. He was only a small child at the time" Papa states.

"Then you must be at least sixty. Seventy? But you cannot be eighty!"Èowyn exclaims.

"Eighty seven" Papa and I answer.

"You are one of the Dúnedain. A descendant of Númenor, blessed with long life. It was said that your race had passed into legend" she states.

"There are few of us left. The Northern Kingdom was destroyed long ago" Papa tells her.

"I'm sorry. Please eat" she insists and watches him ate. We soon continue on Papa sending me up front with Legolas. Along with two of Theoden's men, their names are Háma and Gamling.  They ride to the front of the column. Legolas and I stand a small distance away, scanning our surroundings.

"What is it? Háma?" Gamling asks.

"I'm not sure" Háma replies as their horses become more restless.A warg scout appears above them and charges towards them. It kills Háma before I tackle it biting down hard on it's neck killing it. As Legolas shoots the orc riding it with his bow. Legolas then runs to warn the others while I stay with Gamling.

I soon spot a warg pack running towards us and howl loudly. Legolas stands alone, shooting at the wargs and their riders. The column of riders appears behind him.When Gimli's horse is near, Legolas swings himself up on the horse's back.Wargs and Rohirrim run towards each other, swords drawn. As I bare my teeth waiting for the Rohirrim before attacking.

They reach me and crash with the wargs at full speed. Me using my claws and teeth to kill them along with their riders. I hear Legolas and Gimli having a killing contest. And roll my eyes as I dodge a sword.

I begin to look for Papa sensing he was in danger. I see him jump on to a warg and fight its rider. Aragorn is hit by the orc and falls to the side. I run towards them as papa gets trapped on the warg. But I'm rammed into by another warg and we start to fight. It bit my leg hard and I swipe my free paw across his face. He lets go of my leg rearing slightly and I bite his exposed neck.

I hold my injured leg to my chest as I limp around searching for Papa. But end up finding Gimli as the fighting stops. "You alright lass?" he asks me.

"I'm fine, we must find papa" I tell him. We find Legolas and begin to search for Papa. All three of us calling his name.Gimli spots a dying orc on the ground, laughing. "Papa was fighting him, before I was attacked" I tell him. He bends down and points his axe at it.

"Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing" he tells the orc.

"He's *cough* dead *laughs*. He took a little tumble off the cliff" the orc states and I snarl.

"You lie!" Legolas and I shouts.The orc laughs, blood bubbling in his mouth. He falls back dead. Legolas stands up but sees the Evenstar in the orc's hand.

"Mama's necklace, she gave it to papa" I say looking at it. I approach the cliff with Legolas and Gimli. We look down into the river below and don't see Papa. Théoden approaches behind us.

"Get the wounded on horses. The wolves of Isengard will return" he states."Leave the dead, come" he tells us.

"Come Serena, lets have a look at the leg before we leave" Legolas states. I allow him to treat and bind it. We then follow the Rohirrim to Helm's Deep, me limping slightly.
