kippurbirdThe air was cold enough that Legolas’ breath was visible. He stared at the only other rider, and only other person, on the snow-crusted plain who watched him warily. Kneeing his horse foreword, he called out in Common since the other looked human, “Stay, stranger… I wish to speak with you.”
He got about two paces when the stranger, spurred his own horse into a run. Sighing, because he really didn’t want to do this, Legolas drew an arrow from his quiver and notched it to his bow. Drawing the string back he sighted quickly and let the arrow fly.
The arrow flew to its target and hit the stranger’s horse in the leg, the ankle joint to be exact. The horse reared up in pain and shock, causing its rider to cry out, before it fell over onto its side, crushing the rider underneath. As soon as the horse has started to fall, Legolas was riding towards them. He slid off his horse to check on the stranger.
A quick examination showed that he was unconscious. The horse got up, limping a little, but seemed to be fine. Continuing his examination, Legoas determined that nothing was broken, but the rider would probably have a rather large headache when he woke up. Carefully, he removed all the rider’s weapons before tying the rider up. He then waited.
The rider, he noticed, was not as he originally thought, human. If only because no human that he ever saw had such pointed ears that stuck out from the side of their head. Elven ears were more leaf shaped and much smaller than these. His body on the other hand, seemed to be proportionate to a human. It was rather puzzling.
It was a good thing that Legolas wasn’t bothered by the cold, because it permeated everything around. While he waited he checked over the horse, bandaging up the arrow wound. It would be fine, but shouldn’t be ridden for a while.
