Chereads / The Dwarves of Plithir - Part 5 / Chapter 26 - The Encounter

Chapter 26 - The Encounter

There was some rustling in the trees, and Aramir showed his lantern to that side. There was nothing to be seen there. And some more trees shook and Aramir was alert now. He knew they were around. He looked at Blothir and waited for his signal. The dwarf nodded. He threw the lantern on the side, Aramir and ate the vision potion. He could clearly see now and so did Blothir. The two dwarves got down from the carriage and ran into the forests. The ravager dwarves were confused at what they saw, but had their eyes set on the prize. The dwarves ran towards the carriage, who hid the Hylin inside. Unknown of the dwarves betrayal, the Hylin waited patiently but had grown curious to why they had stopped on their tracks. They knocked at the end of the cabin repeatedly, and the ravager dwarves were stumped. They stood around the carriage as to why there was noise coming from inside. " Barak Hur" said the leader dwarf as he pointed his hand at the carriage. The ravagers ran towards it and opened it. And to their surprise they saw the Hylin hid inside. The Hylin could only see their eyes. As they were ready to pounce on the dwarves, the ravager dwarves closed their eyes and ran away. Shut your eyes and hide yourselves, they said within themselves and hid themselves. The Hylin stepped onto complete darkness and stood still.

What do we do now boss? asked the ravager to their leader. We kill them, he whispered. But how? asked the ravager. There are some silver bullets in a casket buried out there, said the leader. I Need you to go and pick it up and bring it to me, he said to the ravager. The ravager left in a hurry, as the others and the boss remained hidden watching keenly at the carriage. Meanwhile the Hylin stayed put inside the carriage. Only the light bulb shone inside the carriage and the Hylin had an instrument with them, which could be attached to the lightbulb. One of the Hylin took the light instrument and ventured out of the carriage. They looked for footsteps to track where the ravagers had gone. The boss ravager grunted and signaled the others to retreat back. They ran deeper inside without making much noise. What is happening? asked Aramir to Blothir at the other side of the forest. Blothir was getting nervous and he broke a sweat. If the Hylin escape out of this, we are sure to die brother, he said to the dwarf. What do we do ? asked Aramir as he twitched his eyebrows!
