The stomping feet turned out to be,not Orcs,as Frodo encountered,not Trolls,as Bilbo encountered,but wolves! This was an unhappy little surprise!They circled us almost instantly.Gandor yelled as he made for his bow,"The Knife,Adam!"I was about to give it to him but he said"NO! YOU MUST USE THE KNIFE TO BATTLE THE FORCES OF AKORON!!"With such strength as I never knew I had,I charged the nearest wolf with my Knife out in front of me. He grinned,and said,"You foolish young one,you will die! Prepare for your-..." But he was dead.He had spoken this as he made with his sword and tried to stab me. The Knife had sliced through his blade,and then through him as he prepared to stab me. About three feet away,Gandor was making progress also. He had withdrawn a large dagger from his belt,and was fighting furiously with close-combat tactics. He slashed and scratched,dodged and jumped as the wolves howled to their death.He tossed me his bow and some arrows from his quiver."You told me that you could use a bow."He said desperately."Use it well!" I notched an arrow and and"AAAAARRRGGGHHH"Was the cry of the wolf I hit.I got braver and,after noticing that they stuck together in groups of five,I began to fire two or three arrows at once,aiming at the main wolf of the squad,and the main ones around him.My methods were succesful.This killed and wounded many of Akoron's minions."Run Adam!" Gandor screamed.ThenI saw him stabbed.
A wierd life saver,Part Three of the Knife in the Wood. "GANDOR!"Iyelled. But the wolves started to close in.I used all of the arows that Gandor had given me and began using the Knife,but it was simply too slow.I grabbed the sword of one of my vanquished enemies and began to do battle. I wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer if I hadn't steered the turmoil back towards Gandor to ask him for advice. I scremed,"What should I do?"He held out his hand from where he was lying and said,"Here! You must take some Elf-Magic.That is all I can give you now! Fight hard and well,try to win,and if I am alive when the battle is over I shall tell you what you must do!"I dodged a sword stoke and grabbed his hand.I felt a wonderful warmth and energy fill my body,soul,and mind,giving me new strength to carry on,to finish the fight and win. I also found that I was much quicker and lighter on my feet,so that the fight became less harsh,almost easy.But still challenging.But to return to my narrative:A wolf charged. I jumped suddenly,and gave him a savage kick in the face,causing his head to snap back,killing him almost instantly.There were only two wolves left now,and licking their lips,they both lunged at me at the same time. I ducked under the first one's stab,and then jumped up and gave him a brutal punch in the face. When he he spun around to regain his weapon,which I had knocked out of his hand,I drew the Knife and planted it in his back. He half turned around to see what had stabbed him,and fell over dead.I didn't have enough time to pull the Knife from his carcass,and the wound was still bleeding when I did remove it. The last wolf was the stongest. He attacked viciously and swung his sword with amazing power.I dodged and jumped,jabbed and swung,much like Gandor had early in the battle. It lasted a while,the fighting,about ten minutes,and finally,the lead wolf made his mistake. He jumped above my head and raised his sword in an attempt to kill me. I jumped also,but kept my sword by my side.While he brought down his sword,I swung mine and brought it up at the same time,completely decapitating him. His sword dropped to the ground,missing me narrowly. I ran to Gandor. He was still breathing,and I asked him what I should do.He said,"Get the sword of a wolf I killed. Then,put the sword in my hand,and bring the wolf's body to me.Put the point of the sword in the chest of the wolf,with me gripping the handle. Then back away." I was confused by that,but I did it anyway. When I did,I saw an odd blue light being transfered from the wolf's body to Gandor's.After it passed,Gandor stood up,untouched."That,"he said,"was the transfer of life,an old elf art." We set off across the land of Weeldairn.
