Rudhchamion watched Thagon hit the forest floor with a sickening howl and a great thud. Racing to him, he saw what had happened. A dart, had struck him in the throat. His blood spilled onto the forest floor. His eyes were fixed on the stars, as he gurgled and tried to breathe his last. But it didnt last long.
Rudhchamion tore through the shrub to see the face of a man. He wondered if his eyes fooled him. It was one of the Eldar. The Elf looked at him with pale fear, and before he could say a word, the Elf fired a dart at him. Rudhchamion ahd expected this, and moved out of the way as it harmlessly hit a treestump. But the Elf was gone.
He moved back to the Gondorians side. His face was not twisted with pain, but as stone, no expression. He closed the mans eyes, and lifted his body, slowly trudging back to the House...

Taralphiel's breath was cut short. She turned around, and saw the dark Elf walk into the room. Droplets of blood marked his trail. In his arms was Sir Thagon. Rudhchamion simply shook his head. A tear ran down the old womans cheek.
'So we have lost the Knight of the Order of the Rose. That is something to mourn for a long time to come. Eru save us all'
