Wren didn’t understand what had happened to Turthôl and still believed he’d betrayed them when Carmalita ran to aid Énien at her summon. Throwing the ranger a disgusted look, Wren had resumed fighting the Haradrim. They were experienced fighters having lived in the brutal waste that was Harad all their lives. Since the noblewoman was unused to the immense heat, her strength began to wane, and sword became less and less accurate in its objective. Calimir, Bregand, and Tareth fought on. Once she had tended to the fallen elf, who had ordered to be helped to her feet, the nurse was up as well and fighting alongside them again.
The Haradrim were dying off as the faltered company fought on. Wren turned just then, in time to see Baroden collapse and Rangar make his way towards Turthôl and Énien. What is going on? The Gondorian fought until all the Haradrim were defeated or sent running back towards their town, then, keeping her sword in her burnt and calloused hand, ran to see what was to come to pass. Had Rangar seen the Seer? With Baroden gone, what were they to do?
