All he ever wanted

That day, the citizens of Edoras evacuated the city, and headed to Helm's Deep. Cimorene held Tyrian close to her, in fear that harm might befall him. They made it there without any problems. When they got there, Éomer was waiting.

"There is an army of Uruk-hai approaching." He reported, "At least ten thousand of them, all armed and armored."

Théoden rallied all his able men and boys he could. Only 2,300 men. Not enough. Fate was against them.

The Valar decided to help them. Elrond, Thranduil, Celeborn and Galadriel had each sent an army of a thousand of their best soldiers.

"I bring word from the Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel." Haldir said, but Cimorene was too busy scanning the Imladris soldiers for Glorfindel. When Haldir finished, an Imladris Captain stepped forward and took off his helmet. It was Glorfindel. Cimorene held her breath, and listened raptly to every word he said.

She was quite dismayed, no, distraught, when the healers were introduced. Linhir was among them.

Cimorene was lucky she looked different. She had her hair pulled back into a ponytail, and the sides covered the tips of her ears. She had borrowed a tunic and leather jerkin from Aragorn, and a pair of leggings from Legolas. In addition, she was dirty from practicing sword fighting with Aragorn.

All 6,300 men and elves took their places on the wall. She stood beside Glorfindel, arrow ready.

"Leithio i philinn!" Aragorn commanded and a volley of arrows hit their enemy. Volley after volley was released and Uruks fell left and right.

"Pendraid!" Aragorn shouted as ladders were hoisted to rest on the wall. Elves and men ran to kick them over before the Uruks could get up, but the Uruks were fast.

Cimorene put her bow and quiver against the wall and drew her sword. She found Glorfindel fighting six Uruks. She ran over to him, and ran her sword thru one, decapitated two, chopped the arms and legs off another two.

"Hannon lle" Glorfindel said as he looked at her and a baffled look crossed his face.

"Found you. Now do not just stand there, fight."
