A wide smile came upon Beluf's face. That was the happiest Adranel had ever seen him, in her short while of travelling with him. He didn't need to say anything, she knew he had forgiven her.

"Well we better try to get sleep before the night is over." He said, smiling.

Adranel nodded and they headed back towards their small tent where Sjorging and Gelding were talking. Sjorging was holding up the armour Uther had given the people of Dale. "Well if we are going to fight together, I suppose we all should wear the same apparel." Sjorging studied the armour, still wary about whether he was going to put it on tomorrow or not.

Gelding spotted Beluf and Adranel heading towards them, "Glad you have come to join us tonight. It will be hard enough to find sleep tonight, so I suggest we get an early start on it." They all agreed, that it was getting late and it would be a restless night. Gelding and Sjorging slept inside the tent, but this night Beluf slept outside to accompany Adranel.

"I hope we get to see eachother after tomorrow, if not..." he stopped and sat up, peering across the small fire, and noticed she was already sound asleep. Beluf chuckled, wondering how she went to sleep so easily, she must have not gotten a lot in the last couple days. Beluf slowly began to drift off into a wakeless slumber.

Before long it was morning again, and the camp was up and bustling. The orders were given out to suit up, and form out as soon as possible. Sjorging had decided it was best to put on the gondorian armour, so the whole army would appear unified. Gelding picked up his shield, and stood next to his long time friend. Beluf and Adranel stood opposite of them, awaiting the command.

"It's time, everyone else is heading toward the field." Sjorging said. They all nodded and made their way to the spot where they would await Uther. Sjorging put his arm on Gelding's soldier, "We have drawn swords together many times in the past, let this be the last time." Gelding embraced Sjorging and appeared as if he was about to cry. Then to both Beluf's, and Adranel's surprise, Sjorging turned to them, "It was an honor to meet the both of you."

The orders to form up were given, Sjorging and Gelding made sure they pushed their way to the front line, so they could get first taste of the action. Soon Beluf and Adranel appeared behind them.

A few minutes later Uther came riding up to the front of the column.
“We stand on the edge of destruction. The battle in unavoidable, now, and thus we must fight. We are outnumbered, but that will not decide the outcome. No, our courage and honor will! Our enemies, the orcs, think they are better than us, but they are mistaken. They hold out, believing their numbers will give them victory. But death will be their only reward. I think it would be polite to help them along!” At this, the men cheered again, thrusting their weapons into the air. “Now, we go to battle. But fight not for Gondor, or for the King, but for yourselves. This is your hour, relish it, and be victorious!”
Gelding soon found himself cheering with the rest of them, and at those final words, the march began, the host was heading to Gundabad.
