Over a century ago,
the One Ring met its destruction in the fiery depths of Mount Doom,
and peace fell upon Middle Earth. The elves sailed to reunite with their kin in the West,
and the kingdoms of men began to flourish after the evil had been driven from the land. However, during this peace a new evil has been slowly gaining power in the shadows. A second ring came and went but new blight is falling upon the land. Fell beasts are rising, and a once-barren land is stirring. Could the era of peace be coming to an end? |

The Plot
Over a century after the events of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Middle Earth is enjoying the height of the Fourth Age. A silver ring similar to the One Ring was forged just a few years ago which caused a whole new round of chaos, but it was destroyed and the effects of that dark force have nearly been erased once more. Peace has come to the Western lands and kingdoms of Men, with the exception of wild beasts here and there. Mirkwood has been restored to its former brilliant green glory, and though most elves have left for the West there are some that have stayed behind. Overall, the kingdoms have been prospering. The East, however, is still a lawless dog-eats-dog world. Though formerly allied with Sauron have been driven back and left to survive in the desert. Even Mordor is mostly abandoned. In this barren land there are those harboring feelings of growing hate toward the kingdoms that drove them to this state. One man in particular, an Easterling by the name of Acharnor, feels a particularly passionate hatred toward Gondor and all those associated. He may be one man for now, but it seems the scattered serpents and drakes trust in this very man, and the blood that runs through his veins is that of a very ancient evil. The Valar, god-like beings of old, have recognized the threat... but with their separation from Middle Earth so many ages ago they have selected a few individuals to represent them with unique abilities in this coming fight.

Current Kingdoms and Rulers
*Blanks mean the position is open to claim*
[credit]Mirkwood (Now called Eryn Lasgalen)~ ______Mirkwood is a dense forest to the northeast, and is home to wood elves that have not yet crossed into the East and wish to still live in Middle Earth. While Sauron was still about, it was a dark and diseased forest. However, in current times it has been restored to its former beauty, hence its renaming. It's notable landmarks include the Mountains of Mirkwood and Forest River which flows from the Grey Mountains. The elves are pretty much the only ones that can successfully navigate through the forest, and travelers of other races should beware their traps of elven magic.
Shire ~ _____The Shire is the homeland for the Hobbits of Middle Earth, located in the northwestern portion in Ariador. It has a very similar climate to England, with mild winters and warm summers. It has many villages, and plenty of land for fields and farms, as well as forests and marshes. The Brandywine River borders it from the east, and it has no natural barriers to the north or west. It was once under the rule of King Elessar, but now is an independent realm ruled by the halflings.Rohan ~ ______Rohan is a kingdom of men located in the vale between the Misty Mountains to the north and the White Mountains to the south. It extends to the river Isen in the west and to the river Anduin in the east. Fangorn Forest and the former elven settlement Lorien also lay within its borders. The men living there are known as the Rohirrim or "horse-lords", the name being a reference to their great cavalry and horse-training. The capital is Edoras, and the fortress Helm's Deep is also located in this kingdom.Gondor ~ Lord Daerion, resides in Minas Tirith (rp-ed by Kuragehime)Gondor is the most prominent kingdom of men in Middle Earth. It is bordered by Rohan in the north, Harad in the south, Andrast and the sea to the west, and Mordor to the east. Minas Tirith is the capital city, but other large fortresses include Dol Amroth and Osgiliath on the Anduin. Minas Morgul (then Minas Ithil) was part of this kingdom before it was taken by the Witch King, but now it is abandoned and contested. As mentioned earlier, men inhabit this kingdom, but some elves also live in the land of Ithilien in the southern regions. The border with Mordor is heavily patrolled by the rangers and Gondor soldiers. Also, in this age, Umbar and the lands of South Gondor have been returned from the control of the Haradrim.
Arnor ~ ____
Arnor is a northern kingdom of Men in Middle Earth. It was once abandoned and left to ruin, however King Aragorn (Elessar) refounded the Kingdom of Arnor as part of the Reunited Kingdom, and made Annúminas his summer capital. Northern Arthedain, Rhudaur, and Forochel are the sum of its parts with the exception of the Shire. Forochel is the least populated due to climate. Arthedain is largely populated by Bree-men, Eriedain and Dúnedain and is the core of the kingdom. Rhudaur is populated by the Dúnedain and Rhudaurrim and is less populated. Though still a branch of the kingdom of Gondor, it has its own local rulers in place.
Erebor ~ _____Inhabited by the dwarves of Durin's Folk, this kingdom is the center of the dwarven population. The mining of mithril has made a resurgence as dwarves reinstated their home in Khazad-dûm. However, despite these advances this kingdom of dwarves appears to be dwindling.Mordor ~ _____Mordor is bordered on three sides by mountain ranges in a rough rectangular pattern. The capital is Barad-dur, and the only way for large armies to enter the land is through the Black Gate in the northwest corner, or past Cirith Ungol in the west. The landscape is largely arid and ashy due to the volcanic activity in this land, though the southernmost part known as Nurn is slightly more fertile. It hosts a small inland sea, and the blown in ash from Mount Doom aids in dry-land farming. Though mostly wasteland, there are some small populations of humans living around the inland sea.
Rhun ~ _____Known as the Eastlands in the western tongue, Rhun is a large region in east Middle Earth. It is the home and kingdom of the Easterlings who had previously allied with Sauron. Very little is known of these lands, even the great wizards of the past have never explored here. There is an inland sea far in the east besides the Sea of Rhun, and beyond that a range of mountains known as the Red Mountains or Orocarni. The capital is unknown.
Harad ~ _____Also known as Haradwaith, this land is home to the Haradrim. It is located south of Gondor and Mordor, and is split into Near Harad and Far Harad. The smaller regions are often fought over by the many tribes within Harad. The tribes are typically hostile, but have been allowed to live in peace by Gondor after the War of the Ring.
"The East"A largely arid desert land, it is sparsely populated. Many orcs and trolls retreated here after the Third Age, as well as some Haradrim and Easterlings

List of CharactersElves
Earwen Culnamo | 539 | Female | Mirkwood Elf | Neutral Good
Earwen is built like your typical elf, tall and thin yet strong. Her hair is a silky white with darker streaks at the roots and it falls down to her waist. Her bangs are two long strands braided behind her head and her eyes are a very pale yellow. She wears a dusty grey woven shirt with half-length sleeves. During a fight, she wears a dull silver elven chestplate. Her pants are dark grey and she wears dark brown boots. She has leather fingerless gloves, and while fighting has dull silver arm braces. There are several pouches on her belt, and her bow and quiver are slung over her shoulder. She has a couple straps on one thigh where she keeps her daggers. Over all this she wears a deep green hooded cloak. | Earwen is usually very softspoken and tends to keep to herself, but she is very friendly once she warms up to someone. However, being a typical Mirkwood elf, it takes a very long time for her to trust someone. She will often get lost in her thoughts, and much prefers being in the company of nature rather than other individuals. Despite her softspoken nature, if pushed far enough sharp words will leave her mouth. | She is a great shot with a bow and arrow and has decent blade skills, but the most she's ever fought is the occasional giant spider lurking in the forest. | She knew very little of the world outside Mirkwood for most of her life, until she found a little silver ring and it thrust her into the adventure of a lifetime. She traveled all over Middle Earth and encountered all races and beasts. The quest to destroy the ring was not finished without conflict, as it once claimed her as its own. Her mind became forfeit to the ring's influence and she launched attack after attack on the forces of good, even on her own homeland. Once the ring was destroyed she temporarily lost her memory of the events, but upon regaining them returned to Mirkwood to make up for her actions many times over and has since not left the forest. | Her best friend is her horse Alqua. Alqua is a mostly white mare with light grey dappling on her flanks and legs. | Kuragehime |
Minuialwen (Minsy) | 167 | Female | Mirkwood Elf | Very Good
Minuialwen (Minsy) is a rather short Elf, standing at a mere 5'3. She has chin-length blonde hair that she actually cut herself, so it is choppy and wild, tending to fly about when the wind blows. Her eyes are a deep blue, like staring into the deepest part of the sea. She wears whatever is available to her, but typically it's tan pants that hang tightly to her small waist. A forest green sleeveless shirt is what she usually sports for a top, with some sort of cover-sometimes a long black coat or sometimes even a cape. Her boot are black in color and rise just above her ankles. Don't mistake her petite size for weakness, in hand to hand combat Minsy is as accomplished as any other Elf, and she prides herself on her archery skills. | She's kind to a fault, and more loyal than a canine. Somewhat naïve, Minsy likes to look to those she deems above her for guidance. She ferociously protective and hates being taken advantage of more than anything else. Betraying her will be one of the last things you do. She loves her friends more than anything else and takes comfort in their presence. She doesn't like being by herself, ironic for someone who used to spend so much time out in the woods alone. | She was raised in the forests of Mirkwood by none other than Radagast the Brown. Her mother Calithil recently traveled to Valinor (She was a Rivendale elf), leaving Minsy totally devoid of any family relatives in Middle Earth. | twilightfire |
Lothinel Mirsengal | 206 | Female | Mirkwood elf | Chaotic Good
Tall, thin, well-muscled, the typical ideal for an elf Lothinel stands at six feet tall give or take a few inches. She has high cheekbones, narrow almond-shaped eyes that are a very pale green color with gold toward the center. Her hair is long, almost at her thighs long, but she keeps it braided so that most of it is up and out of her face. It is dark red in color, looking brown indoors but the red color is very clear in sunlight. For clothing she is pretty simple, she wears a long green dress that stops just at her calves and is cut all the way up to her thigh on both sides underneath she wears dark green leggings and brown boots that reach her calf.| She is a loner by choice, she is cold and standoffish. Lothinel chooses to push people away because it is easier to protect one person rather than multiple. When she gets close to someone she still kind of pushes them away but she'd die protecting them. Her sense of humor is dry and sarcastic but she tries not to be mean persay. The woman is strong both in physical strength and emotional strength. | As most of her people she is skilled with a bow and arrow, and always carries her white wooden bow with her. She is also skilled with the two small daggers she carries as well. She has been on her own for a long time, she left home when she was about 50 years old and has been roaming Middle earth since then. The woman has the scars to porve how many fights she has seen. | inky
Hobbits
Poppy Proudfoot | 30 | Female | Shire Hobbit | Lawful Good
She has light brown almost golden hair that goes to her shoulders and is a little curly and has light skin and brown eyes. She wears a light lavender dress with a darker cape/shawl. She has a hobbit-sized chestplate and chainmail shirt that she keeps on display in her room from her travels with Earwen, and has vowed never to need to wear them again. | She is very sweet and helpful, but also naive, aloof, and a little happy-go-lucky. She loves to eat, and she finds fun in everything. She is very trustworthy, and would do anything for family or friends (within reason). | Poppy is mediocre with the sword and combat in general. She is a brilliant baker and now devotes all her time to the hobby. | She lives in the Shire on her own and after returning from Gondor has no desire to leave ever again, as she is very much a scaredy-cat. She was born and raised in Hobbitton. | Kuragehime |
DwarvesHumansTeonvan | 50 | Male | Human from Ithilien | Lawful Good
Teonvan is of average height, and is strongly built. His hair is dark brown and fairly short. His eyes are a lighter brown than his hair. He wears a dark green long-sleeved undershirt, and over this he wears a tunic of the same color that goes down to about his knees. Over these, he wears a dark grey jerkin, and thick dark leather gloves on his hands. His pants are greyish brown, and he wears dark brown knee-high boots and a black cape with the white tree of Gondor on the back. When in combat, he wears silver Gondor armor (chestplate, arm braces, shoulder armor), and the chest plate has the patter of the White Tree on it. | If you were to observe Teonvan, the first thing you would notice is that he is a work-a-holic. He is always doing something, whether it is training or sending his rangers out on patrols or even helping Nerade with something…and he doesn’t know how to take a break. He is also very chivalrous and protective of the ones he is close to. Well, to be more precise, he tends to be a bit of a worrywart when it comes to the people he is closest to. When he is in front of people he always puts on a serious front and tries to show no weakness, with a few exceptions. | Teonvan is skilled with the longsword and shield, and is learning archery. | Teonvan was born in Southern Gondor in Ithilien where his father was a member of the Ithilien rangers. Once he was old enough, Teonvan also joined the rangers and eventually found himself in the royal guard. Along the way, he met Nerade and Daerion of the royal family and became fast friends with both siblings. There was a period of time when they were separated, and all were surprised the day Teonvan walked into the throne room as one of the new guards, and accompanied them on their many trips to the North. He has stuck close to the siblings ever since. | Kuragehime |
Acharnor of Rhûn | 45 | Male | Easterling | Leaning to Chaotic Evil
Acharnor is a tall man with olive complexion. His thick hair is straight and black and often worn in a low ponytail. His eyes are dark brown, though the color is only really noticeable in direct sunlight. His face and forearms are criss-crossed with scars from the "training" he has done, and he has one long scar across his chest. He wears what looks almost like a double-layered kimono. The innermost layer is a pale pastel yellow, and the layer above is a deep dark red. Both layers go down to just above his knees, and over them he wears a black robe that is a bit longer. He has crudely spiked charcoal grey armor on his shoulders and forearms, and wears thick leather gloves most of the time as well. He has a chain around his neck with a dragon's tooth dangling from it, and two small gold hoop earrings on one ear. His pants are a pale beige and his boots are dark grey with pointed steel toes. During battle, he wears a steel scaled chestplate akin to the normal Easterling army, and wields a halberd with skill. | Acharnor is a cold and calculating man, with virtually no moral compass. He does not hesitate in combat and will not so much as bat an eyelash as he burns down a town. | His family has been in the Easterling army for generations, and he heard much about Sauron and his goals as well as how the Easterlings were destroyed by the Men of the West in the War of the Ring. In result, he has vowed to exact revenge not only on Gondor but on all of the western kingdoms. | Despite his skills with the halberd, he alone is not much of a threat. However, he has a knack for taming dragons and other vile creatures and getting them to do his bidding. As was mentioned before, he is an Easterling from the land of Rhun, hailing from a small village near the inland sea. His steed is a fell beast, one he found hiding in the shadows of the nearby mountain range. | Kuragehime |
Lai Xero | 17 | Female | Human | Chaotic good
Lai is a beautiful girl. She has Caramel brown hair with Bright green eyes flecked with gold. She has normal colored skin for a human. She wears common clothes. She is kind of short, but won't be told that. She stands at 5'7" | Lai is a courageous girl. She has a fiery personality and is very resident, has a soft spot for Heo, she isn't a softy for him though, but he is the only one she trusts, can be kind when she wants | Lai grew up on a small farm in Mirkwood. One day a boy arrived and they became best friends. With a hardship, she eventually left her parents and the farm with Heo Berai | Has a katana | Mickey Mouse the 3rd
Maiar (Wizards)Melia the Blue | ??? | Female | Maia | Chaotic Neutral
Melia is tall, and just about as pale as a full moon. Her eyes are a dark brown, and her hair is black and ends just past her shoulder blades. She usually wears it down, with a strand falling on either side of her face. She wears a long flowing dress with long sleeves and a V-neck. The dress is a pale sky blue and fades to white at her feet. On top of this, she has a dark blue belt high on her waist, and her staff is silver with a purple jewel at the end. She wears a silver band on each wrist, and a deep blue sleeved cloak over everything. | Melia is a complicated individual. She has a very high opinion of herself and has a tendency to flaunt her skills when taking care of business. Nothing pleases her more than seeing the tormented faces of those she is sent to 'take care of'. She is sly and deceiving, doing her best to pry details from those around her while keeping them at arms' length from herself at the same time. | Melia has learned blackspeech, and you can sometimes hear her cursing in it under her breath. Some of her spells are in blackspeech as well. Her spells are mostly destructive, but she has taken to learning spells of healing as of late. | Melia is very secretive about her history and though she will drop hints about just how lengthy it is, she refuses to give out an actual number. However, she will let out little snippets of unimportant events, such as a person she once met or a fight she once won. She lived a lot of her early life in a northern port town and somehow made her way to Mordor. However, now that there is nothing left for her in Mordor she spends her days wandering and dropping in on acquaintances here and there. | Kuragehime |
Goblins/Orcs/Uruk-hai
Mixed-RaceNerade of the House of Telcontar | 47 | Female | Human and Elven | Chaotic Good
Nerade is slightly taller than the average for humans and has fair skin due to being half-elven. Her hair is raven black and falls just to her shoulders. She leaves it down most of the time, but for formal/important occasions she will put it up. Her bangs are cut straight across her forehead, and her eyes are a greyish blue. Her favorite outfit is the standard Gondor knight armor with the White Tree on the chestplate, though hers is a bit "fancier". She also wears a black cloak with this, and a longsword on her waist. You will never see her wear a helmet, even in battle. Just as she will change her hairstyle for important occasions, her wardrobe changes as well. If the situation requires it she will wear a dress, but it will be replaced with armor as soon as the appointment is over. | Nerade is a very loud and enthusiastic person, always loving to poke fun at the people she's close to. However, she does know when she needs to act mature. She tends to get in the middle of fights, and fight she does. She is brave and daring, as well as prideful. But even though her pride sometimes gets in the way of her kindness, she is a sweet person... once you get past the sarcasm. She craves adventure, is very ambitious, and holds powerful grudges. | Nerade is skilled with the sword and many other bladed weapons but refuses to even touch a bow. She is very strong through her daily training and is good with horses. | Nerade and her brother Daerion were born to King Aragorn's son Eldarion while Eldarion was visiting Arnor in the North. They returned to Minas Tirith during their childhood, and were fairly free to pursue what they wanted. When the siblings were older they returned to the North with their father, but the trip ended in tragedy. A surprise attack on the royal family ended the trip early and only Nerade and Daerion survived mostly thanks to Teonvan. Since the event Nerade has been helping her brother rule Gondor. She got tangled up in the mess surrounding the second ring of power and commanded the troops of Minas Tirith in her brother's absence, though now she spends most of her time with the knights and Teonvan instead of the throne room. | Kuragehime |
Daerion of the House of Telcontar | 52 | Male | Human/Elven | Lawful Good
Daerion is a tall and lean man with chin length dark brown hair and grey eyes. His bangs are parted to either side of his face, falling lightly over his sharp features. He always wears a rather sullen look on his face, perhaps a result of the pressures of ruling such a large kingdom, or having a sister like Nerade. He wears armor fit for a king, with a large White Tree on his chest and a long cloak flowing behind him. He wears a longsword and a dagger on his waist and leather gloves on his hands. | He is much more serious than his younger sister Nerade, but just as goal-driven. He is the more intelligent of the siblings and always seems to be hiding something behind his stoic face. However, he is a fair ruler and the people are happy under his command. He has proven to be proficient in battle, cold and calculating. | Daerion specializes in swordsmanship, as mentioned before with the multiple blades he carries. He is also a good tactician, and is working on his ruling skills. | He suddenly had to take the throne after their father Eldarion was killed in a surprise raid in the north, and though the beginning of his career was rocky he has greatly improved. He was in the North during the events of the second ring and only returned shortly after reconstruction began on Minas Tirith. | Kuragehime |
Heo Berai | 17 | Male | Half-elf | Chaotic good
Heo is a tall person. He is quite strong. He has auburn hair and milky blue eyes flecked with light silver. He wears an elf adventurer outfit and stands at 6'2" which is quite tall for a half-elf. He has a good build and a soft face. He has elf ears and light tan skin | Heo is usually mistreated. He doesn't mind though and is still happy with himself. He is a brave soul. He tries to help as much as he can usually and isn't afraid to show who he is | Heo is an amazing archer and a hard-worker, he is good at hunting as well | Heo was run out of his human village for being Half-elf. He eventually stumbled upon a farm in Mirkwood. Where he worked for these humans. He became friends with their daughter Lai Xero. Left the farm one day with her. Likes her as a friend | Has two silver daggers and a bow | Mickey Mouse the 3rd

I can~]]
Teonvan took his place at the head of the small group and brought his horse to face them. "We are headed to Northeast Ithilien," he announced. "The creatures were seen soaring over Dagorlad at the time the report was written. I hope we will still be able to catch them." After making sure he had looked at each member of the party Teonvan gave a nod and turned his horse around, then taking off at a gallop.
Earwen sighed softly as she urged her horse on after the ranger. "I just hope they haven't done too much damage to the area..." she murmured.

Minsy sighed. "Agreed." She lightly tapped the sides of her steed and chased after the others. Part of her was rather worried, as it had been a long time since she had such an intense battle and knew she was somewhat out of practice. "Off on another adventure." She grinned.

I'm gonna be heading off pretty soon, early work day tomorrow x_x]]
Teonvan had overheard the younger elf's comment and couldn't help but roll his eyes a bit. He nearly turned around and asked her to take this a bit more seriously, but then again, years of dealing with Nerade and her antics had perhaps softened him a bit. He just kept his mouth closed and focused on leading them in the right direction.
Earwen chuckled a bit at her friend. Minsy's words helped lighten her mood a bit. "Yes, adventure indeed," she said. "It has been far too long since I've traveled to Ithilien... Oddly enough, it was my next destination after visiting Minas Tirith," she added.

Oof. Good luck with that!!))
Minsy nodded thoughtfully. "It seems you had a very well thought out travel plan." She sighed almost wistfully, wishing she had built up the motivation to leave the forest on her own and come see everything and perhaps everyone again. Shaking her head to clear it, Minsy turned her gaze to Teonvan. "What's the plan once we get there? Epic beast slaying? Exciting battle?" Her eyes twinkled with amusement

Thanks! ^^]]
Earwen chuckled and nodded. "Well, it was a well thought out plan... I cannot say the same for it any longer," she remarked, then falling quiet to listen as Teonvan began to speak.
Teonvan glanced over his shoulder. "Of course. Only after we survey the area and get a better idea of the situation," he said. "Then we will take out the beasts with swift action." He looked ahead and gripped the reins tightly. "The Ithilien rangers will be lending their aid, and have most likely arrived there already."

Minsy couldnt resist a small sarcastic comment. "Oh yes, because our plans always go swiftly and perfectly as described. Cannot wait." She meant the statement in all good faith, she just couldnt resist poking fun at an old friend.

Last post for the night!]]
Teonvan let out a sigh. He laughed, thinking he should've expected this from the get-go bringing Minsy along. Her comment got him thinking back on the messes they had all been through and he had to admit she was right. "Even if our plan does end up getting derailed and takes longer, at least I know the warriors I've brought with me are competent," he sent back.
Wanna skip ahead to our destination? o:]]

Goodnight!!))
Also yes I'm down ^.^))
Minsy stared off in to the distance, Ithilien fast approaching. She felt her heart begin to pound, sinking down to the pit of her stomach as she saw the destination get closer and closer and felt the rush of fear and adrenaline before battle. It had been far too long.

Alrighty! See ya then! ^^]]
As the group raced on, mountains on one side and seemingly endless marches on the other, Teonvan urged his steed to gallop even just a little bit faster. "Keep your eyes on the sky. You two will likely be able to see our targets long before I am," he called to the two elves.
"The report stated there are two, correct?" Earwen called in response. After receiving a nod from the ranger her hazel gaze rose to the sky. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky. For one of the more desolate areas of Middle Earth it was a lovely day - especially for dragon-watching apparently. Earwen's eyes narrowed as she searched but they widened again not too long after. "Up to the east! Can you see them, Minsy? Two shadows in the sky," she called out, pointing.

Minsy whipped her head in that direction, her heart pounding so loud she could have sworn the others could hear it. Part of her was nearly shell shocked with fear, having not seen one of these fearsome beasts in many, many a moon. Even from this distance they were horrifying and formidable. The rest of her shivered with twisted excitement at bringing one down. "Oh I see them alright." Her voice was strong and firm yet almost bleak.

At the words from the two elves, the tension around the group skyrocketed. Teonvan led his horse east until Earwen had made it clear that the fell beasts were a straight shot ahead. It is a very good thing there are no towns this far out, Teonvan kept thinking... though he also found it a bit odd that they didn't seem to be heading toward any other destination. He pushed the questions from his mind to focus on the task at hand. "Can you see anyone on the ground nearby? Any other rangers?"
Earwen scanned the horizon. "Yes... a small group," she replied. "We should try to bring the beasts down from the air while those rangers are working to distract them," she proposed.

"That's a good option. We need to strike them down rather quickly before they decide to move on and possibly take us out in the process." Minsy rolled her head, her neck slightly cracking in the process while she steeled her nerves. Doing her best to not lose her balance, she slowly released the reins of her steed and retrieved her bow and nocked an arrow. She wobbled slightly and held her arms to steady herself before breathing a sigh of relief. "I much, much, much prefer rabbit pulled sleighs to these large horses." She grumbled under her breath

Earwen chuckled softly. "You'll get used to it in no time, I'm sure of it," she said. She pulled out her own bow and slipped an arrow from the quiver at her side, taking another good look at the beasts up ahead before lining up her shot. She narrowed her eyes and tensed, using every muscle just about to hold her aim still before releasing the arrow. A loud roar from one of the fell beasts told her that the arrow had hit, but that was it. There was no change in the flapping of its wings.

"Here goes nothing." Minsy's voice was barely above a whisper, nearly inaudible among the thudding heartbeats of the horse's hooves. She breathed out slowly as she released her shot, earning another loud roar from the shadow in the sky. Something told her she would be needing her full quiver for this task, as well as a very good shot. The two arrows were nothing more than annoying pin pricks in the massive fell beasts skin. "Aim for the wings and throat!" She yelled. "We bring it lower to bring it down!"

Heading out to investigate fell beasts or something like that right?))
