Elves vs Goblins: 29-30
Added 2025-01-27 06:32:05 +0000 UTCObedient to their orders, the Rangers press the attack, some pausing to shoot while others advance past the fallen.
Slumped against the wheel of a rough-hewn Goblin cart; collapsed and abandoned in the mud, Tonwen chokes and coughs up her life-blood with an equally rough-hewn Goblin arrow in her breast. She tries to think of the forest; to think of starry autumn nights when the leaves are golden-orange and the forest floor crisp and crunching under the feather-light tread of bare Elven feet; or summer days when the air is a-buzz with busy life and the flash and flicker of gossamer wings and bright insect and animal bodies. She knows she owes her immortal life to the forest’s power, and, though the pain is great and the sense of loss is bitter, she knows her fate has always been to one day return that which was given. Today is as good a day as any other.
Not all are capable of such stoicism: As young Ceridwen lays dying, not yet ready to give her life to honour the ancient bargain, she looks up pleadingly to Eiriol, her friend and kinswoman, and sobs for help that Eriol knows she can not give. The forest does not care if she is not ready: It will have its due from willing and unwilling alike.

Picture 29: As Tonwen lies on the bottom of the cartwheel, slowly bleeding to death from her wounds, other Elf archers in her squad continues the fight against the Goblins. From the back of the cart, Elasha aims her arrow towards a Goblin target. "Here's for Tonwen, you no-good muck'raker!!" the ginger-haired Elf whispers as she looses her arrow towards the target. Meanwhile, Lenna - a younger Elf archer, looks at Tonwen's dying body and tells herself "Shit! If older Elves like Tonwen can go down and die, then I'm f***ed as well! I'm not ready to die, not NOW!!" Lenna screams aloud expressing her fear. But her colleagues are falling all around her and it doesn't take long for a Goblin arrow to notice Lenna and aims his arrow towards her plump breasts...
