Chapter 24 - Friendship

Aramir! wake up whispered Blothir. Everyone was asleep that time, and only a few guards were patrolling that area. Aramir! quick, we need to get out of here, said Blothir as he tried to wake his friend up. Aramir awoke and he saw the same eyes that had threatened him all this while. He reached for his gun in fear and there was none. He was making a ruckus! Keep quiet " Blothir spoke" you will wake the rest of them up. Aramir froze and stood still. He still gazed upon the eyes and did not look away from it. Aramir, let us get out of here! said Blothir. I'm sorry brother! do not kill me, pleaded Aramir. I wont, now keep your mouth shut, said Blothir and closed his eyes. Aramir's fear withdrew him. Why not brother? I would not hesitate to kill you, he said. I will give that chance in a while, now let us get out of here, he said and ate some of the immortality potion and broke open the doors. Aramir and Blothir ran away as the guards became alerted and Blothir gave him some of the immortality potion and told him to eat it up. Aramir ate it without any question. The bullets hit them, but none did any damage. After a while, exasperated with all the running. Why brother? why did you save me? asked Aramir. Because you are my friend! replied Blothir. And what is that thing you gave me? asked Blothir. You will learn about all this soon! he said. We can now defeat the Hylin! triumphed Blothir.

Back at home...

The Hylin were waiting for the two of them. And when they saw the two dwarves on foot, they were not surprised when they saw the dwarves treading on foot. They watched in silence as the two heavy foot dwarves walked up to them. Aramir and Blothir had tension brewing among themselves too. And it was palpable, the Hylin were far too curious as to now what had transpired. Who took it? the Hylin asked them. Both the dwarves stood silent and it was as though Blothir looked likely to open his mouth. They shifted his attention to him. Who took it? asked the Hylin to Blothir. It was the ravager dwarfs, he replied in a heavy tone. The ravager dwarves? the Hylin were surprised. Have they not all been killed by the wanderer dwarves who lurk in that area, the Hylin smirked. They still live, grunted Aramir. The hylin seeing that both Aramir and Blothir were heavily injured decided to give them some leeway. Take rest, and we shall hunt the ravager dwarves together, she said to them. Us? asked Blothir. Yes, replied the Hylin. I see the eyes of an hunter, she said looking at the fierce eyes of Aramir that still brewed a storm of fire in them. Goodbye! said Aramir to Blothir. Goodbye! said Blothir and took leave, as he limped away to his home. Aramir adjusted his arms clearly singnalling that they were broken!
