Bain tried to remain perfectly still and silent inside of the log, holding his breath. If he made so much as a sound, the orcs would probably pull him out and kill him, or worse. His father had taught him how to defend himself, but he had never succeeded in a real battle: when orcs had invaded his house, he had desperately acted to defend his family. If not for his father and for the two elves who had arrived just in time; they would have slaughtered him. Bain would try to defend himself from the two orcs if he was discovered, but as a young, small, and skinny boy against two hulking orcs...he didn't have much confidence.

And then he heard one of the orcs walking towards the logs, his heavy footsteps drawing unmistakably towards him. Had he involuntarily made a sound? Had he disturbed the leaves as he crawled into the log, in such a way that made it obvious that something had crawled inside of it? Or did the orc just want to hack it apart for firewood?

In any case, his spirit would not remain in Arda for long...

But it was not his time. He heard the heavy body of the other orc hitting the ground, and only a few seconds afterwards heard a pained gurgle as the orc that had approached the log fell onto the forest floor, landing right in front of him. Bain could not suppress a gasp as he came face-to-face with the dead orc, his large, malevolent eyes wide open in shock and his toothy mouth gaping open as black blood drained from a terrible wound on his throat.

And then, he saw the face that had captured his dreams: the beautiful face of the elf-maid who had rescued him and his family along with her companion. Backlit by the rising sun behind her, the elf's long, red hair took on a radiant, burning aspect; like beautiful flames, and her green eyes were like a pair of jewels; peering right into his own eyes. The she-elf smiled and told him it was safe to come out. She seemed divine. Not only had his life been saved, but he had been rescued by this...vision of beauty, who almost seemed like a Maia to him. Bain almost felt like he didn't deserve this.

Slowly, and hesitantly, he crawled out of the log...and nervously stood up; looking up and into the she-elf's green eyes as she towered over him.

'T...thank you."
