Pio stepped back one pace and allowed Birdie to take the fore. The words Kin Slayer rang through her mind. She did not want to have to slay another elf, but if she must, she would.
The twin blades of Anglachel and Anguirel blazed up together. Bird advanced on Maeglin, and revenge was in her eyes.
One step behind her came Pio, ready to defend her friend to her own death.
And behind them, a fierce hobbit of great bravery, Rose - a look of determination and strength on her countenance, her small blade shining.
