Galhardir

After being hit in the arm by the Corsair's arrow, he'd fallen, and hurt his foot as well. It was bleeding heavily by the time Rôg had rescued him from the bloodthirsty Corsair.

Meanwhile he spotted Annû, who was also lying on the ground after a fight with one of the enemies. Galhardir felt uneasy and wanted to hurry over to help him, but he couldn't. His leg felt stiff and the pain was aching, and it was torturing the poor man. At the same time, he had forgotten about the arrow that had hit his arm. He could only feel the blood flowing from that wound as the pain had disappeared, or just forgotten in all the chaos. Slowly, Galhardir finally managed to get up with a little help from Rôg.

Galhardir halted towards Annû closely following Rôg with his eyes. "Hurry Annû!" Galhardir whispered and took him by the arm. Annû followed and together they made it down below without great difficulties. Of course, both of them were badly hurt, but together they were stronger than one would have thought in the first place. In Annû’s room both of them felt exhausted and said little. Galhardir was still shocked by having his enemies so close. They had surprised them once and for all. This surprise wasn't highly appreciated. They were both tending their wounds, examining their injuries; The wound on Galhardir's arm was not bleeding anymore. Instead there was a thick mass of dried blood that was covering the wound, but while cleaning if off, it started to bleed again. It was in fact deeper than he thought at first. The bandage was luckily close at hand, and Galhardir managed to tend it as good as he possibly could. Then the leg remained. Even though he was still bleeding heavily this wasn't such a major injure. He would be able to walk properly on his leg within a couple of days, or so he expected.

Annû poor thing had some pretty nasty bruises which probably would last for quite some time. Galhardir asked him, when he was finished tending his own wounds, if Annû needed some help. Annû smiled but told him that he would manage on his own.

Just as this had been said, Galhardir could hear from above that the Corsairs were feeling…”About time,” he said angrily.
