As the enemy ran off into the brush, Fin finally let his guard down and succumbed to the pain in his arm. He sheathed his sword and helped Celeb over to where the camp was being set up.
As his wounds were less bloody than many of the others, Fin had to wait for a long while but finally he was seen to. He emerged from the Healing tent, arm strapped to his side and moved over to where Gaddy and the other warriors were retelling thier stories.
He was shocked to here about the old hobbit Elfred and could see that many of the others were to. He sat and took a bowl of the sew they were eating, wondering where it had come from and who had cooked it.
"We have done well, my friends, but I don't think that we have vanquished them yet. Some remain, and they will return."
