Anuionin was dancing with own of Hamfast's children. He had a great time. He had laid his old one-handed axe on the gift table and had equipped the new one. It was beautiful. Made by one of the Breelanders, it had writing in the blade and the stick was made of proper, decent and very strong wood. It was light to handle non the less. As the music stopped Anuionin could hear a little growl coming from out of the crowd. But it was not in the crowd. It was past it. Suddenly, the people divided and the Dwarf saw what he had feared when returning. The rat's where not all dead yet.
"The children, Hamfast, I must protect them." He taught suddenly.
Thoughts rushed throughout his mind. What would he do? Protect or attack? He chose for the second one. Offence is the best defence, as he tended to say.
He grabbed out his throwing axes. And he rushed into the slaughter field that was already filled with corpses of the poor surprised Breelanders.
"KH?ZAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled as he rushed towards the foul beasts.
He threw one of the axes at a wolf and it struck the beast right in the head. The second one landed in a flank. He knew that his large two-handed axe would do nothing to these agile rats. He yanked out the newly acquired axe and grabbed his other one from the table.
"Let's see what this toy can do." He said to himself.
He ran into the battlefield and one of the wolves charged him head on. He had his axe still in his body when he leaped to Anuionin. He would not get far. Anuionin struck him in the head. The head of the wolf was half of when it struck the ground. With a second blow he killed him. He grabbed out the throwing axe that was sticking out of his flank.
"Let's see if your friends also know how to play fetch." he said to the wolf.
He raised his arm and again the axe flew trough the air. It struck a wolf on the backside this time. He ran over there and gave it an immense slash in the back. That wolf would not be moving again. But then tree of the wolves came running to the Dwarf and started to circle him. Anuionin could not take on out with his axe, because if he reached for it the wolves would surely leap to his throat. He just waited for them to attack. The first one started the offensive and he reached for his leg. Stupid of course, because the toughest and strongest part of a Dwarfs body are his leg's. Anuionin raised his foot and planted it on the wolf's head. It struggled to get loose, but it's attempts where infane. Anuionin's newly acquired axe struck him in the neck, causing his nerve system to break. Its last struggle to survive looked hideous and the wolves got mad.
The second one leaped. To his neck this time. Anuionin ducked and the wolf flew over him. With a quick back-slash he ripped his stomach open. Anuionin turned around and cutted the back open aswel. Another wolf corps.
The third one had not been resting while Anuionin was chopping wolf-lumber. He had stopped running and now had Anuionin's back in sight. It was about to leap at the Dwarf when a stinging pain entered his back.
"Quickly Master Dwarf, turn around!" A child's voice said.
Anuionin made a quick turn and slashed the wolf's head of with one blow.
He was amazed to see that it was no man that had struck the wolf in the back. It was a child. Hamfast's child.
Quickly Anuionin lifted it from the ground and took it back to his father. But his father was nowhere in sight. He could only find his mother.
"I found this brave little fellow running around in the field M'lady. Can you take it from here?" Anuionin said friendly with a happy undertone.
The lady nodded and Anuionin rushed back in battle. He went out to search Hamfast. Where was the little fellow? He could not find him anywhere. He ran around screaming his name when he finally found him. He was leaning against a tree. Blood was leaking out of his arm. He had blood on his sword and a dead wolf lay next to him. But he was in trouble. Another wolf was standing in front of him. It was going to kill that poor fellow. Anuionin could not let this happen. He took a knife of the table and threw with full power at the beast. It did not hit him tough. It was planted between the wolf's legs, but caught his attention all the same. The wolf turned around and ran towards Anuionin. Anuionin had grabbed his two-handed axe of the table and was standing there very secure with his leg's spread and his hand's firmly holding the stick. The wolf leaped and Anuionin let out all of his anger. With a loud roar he took a swing at the Wolf. He struck the wolf head on. The strike was so hard that the wolf was cutted in two peaces. Hamfast could not believe his eyes. Anuionin rushed towards Hamfast.
"You did not seriously think that I would go easy on that rat when he has attacked you my friend." Anuionin said happily. "Let's get you out of here."
He took the Hobbit on his back and walked out of the battle.
His arm was avenged.
