One Last Battle

I looked out into the vast sea of our enemies and knew something must be done, for retreat was not an option with this horde behind us. Turning to my Prince I looked at him and told him what must be done. “No, there is another way. You must not,” he said. But we both knew it was our only option. Mounting my horse I called my personal guard to my side. As we rode off my Prince called to me saying, “You will be remembered.” Turning to him I smiled and said, “I would hope so. Just focus on getting the men out.” Turning to my guard a tear ran down my cheek, “Men, I could not wish a better unit to ride out my days with. We grew up together and it is only fitting we would ride out together.” Turning to watch as the army began to make its retreat I drew my sabre. My men formed up around me and we began to ride forward. Faster and faster we rode into the valley of death. The flowers of Harondor where in full bloom, strange I thought to myself. I never noticed how beautiful Harondor was. Around me I heard the beautiful noise of a sword being drawn from its scabbard. Ever faster we rode. Looking forward I saw a mix of Umbaran and Haradrim stripping the armor of the men of Gondor, my men. Pointing my sword forward my men and I ran them down. We got faster with every passing moment. Looking farther ahead I saw that the Umbarans had formed a phalanx. So this was it. This would be my end? Crying out in anger and fear my horse began drawing out ahead of the others. I felt my horse’s body stop as it hit the end of one of the pikes. Flying forward I smashed into the Umbarans and quickly made the man closest pay for my horse. Soon my men came crashing into the phalanx and we all began fighting like devils. Killing the man in front of me I felt the point of a dagger pierce my side. After killing the man with the dagger I looked around and saw that most of my men where dead, but so where all the Umbarans. Standing up straighter I looked back to make sure the army was safely out of the valley, and there was my Prince pointing to something behind me. Turning around I saw a group of Haradrim riders riding forward towards me. Turning to my Prince I nodded and then charged the ridders.
