Here's some more....
Leif slowly counted the men he could see. Five, and they'd just poisoned Frida...or perhaps it wasn't poison, she didn't look dead, more like asleep, but whatever it was, they had her prisoner. He had to do something.
What Leif didn't know was that there were many more than five men. Six other archers were still in the trees, and three more, were at this very moment, tracking him down. Two others were very close, having just caught the horse, and were bringing him back. Leif wouldn't stand a chance. But he didn't know this.
He drew his sword, and dashed into the clearing. The five sets of green eyes looked at him, they didn't seem surprised, they only seemed to think him incredibly stupid. Leif rushed at one of them, Dov.
Dov side stepped so fast Leif could barely see him, even his magical sword wasn't fast enough. He didn't see Dov's foot and fell over it, onto his stomach. He rolled over onto his back, and saw the five bows pointed at him.
"Drop you sword," said one, the one who had talked to Frida, and seemed to be in charge. Leif obeyed, the minute it left his hand it stopped glowing. The man raised an eyebrow, and picked up the sword. Leif's jaw dropped when he saw the sword begin to glow. "Where did you get this sword?" The man asked.
"It was given me." Leif replied shortly, "Now give it back."
"You can't have weapons if you're going to hurt us."
"I had good reason," Leif snapped, "you poisoned Frida."
"I did no such thing, she's only asleep."
"Yes," Sneered Leif, "And I wonder what you planned to do to her while she was asleep?"
The man raised an eyebrow. "Take her to my father, which is what I'll be doing with you too. Now please tell me where you got the sword from."
"I already told you it was given me." Leif spat. "Why does it matter to you?"
"Because it's elfish made, and mortals should not be carrying our weapons."
"You're a shee?" Leif asked, looking more stunned then before.
"A what?"
"A shee?"
The man turned to another of the five. "Tahw seod eh neam yb 'eehs'? I evah ton draeh siht drow erofeb."
