The elf was shocked at the betrayal. Rinurion was about to bead Daegon with one of his arrows in anger when Sauche pushed him out of the path of an axe thrown from a few distance from them. Another group of orcs had gone around and surrounded them.
The two dashed behind a nearby underbrush just in time to avoid a hail of arrows from the enemy.
“How could have they escaped the detection of the patrols?” growled Sauche, “Surely the Elvenking’s men are better than that!”
Rinurion stood suddenly as he fired several shots at the oncoming orcs. They held their ground in futility. When the orc leader held a sword at Gayahitwen and Amaryllis’ throats they could do nothing but surrender in frustration.
As they were bound tighty, Rinurion’s cold gaze never left Deagon.
