Rûdhchamion nearly had a heart attack as the young elf maiden leapt down. He too had seen the white wolf pup and it took all his will power not to interfere least they be revealed.
“Wonderful! So much for precaution,” he muttered under his breath. With one fluid motion got his bow and arrow, releasing it at the orc nearest Anarya. He was glad to see the ferocity of the pup as it downed an orc near it. He re-strung and aimed at another orc who was coming at the wolf-pup. He was startled when a faint form of a thought entered his mind sending its heartfelt gratitude, but he set it aside and continued his assault against the orcs.
“Take cover! They have archers!” He shouted as he spotted the two orcs readying their bows. A movement caught his eye, and he saw a black wolf coming towards the pup and Anarya. “Ware the warg to your left!”
The elf maid was able to retrieve her weapons and scramble behind the tree for cover. The white wolf-pup growling as the warg neared them stood his ground to defend her.
The dark elf quickly released another arrow, lifting one orc off the ground with the force of impact. Its companion shot at the tall elf, missing Rûdhchamion by an inch. Shifting his position he shot the remaining archer throw the eye and neck.
