It was now nightfall and Gimli was putting on chain mail.
"If we had time, I would get this adjusted," he said as he got the shirt on and realized that it was way too long.
"It's a little tight across the chest," he added and we nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a horn sounded.
"That is no orc horn," Legolas proclaimed. It was Haldir and an army of archers.
"I bring word from Elrond of Rivendell. An alliance once existed between Elves and men. Long ago we fought and died together. We come to honor that allegiance." I ran to Haldir and embraced him in a hug.
"You don't know how happy I am to see you," I whispered in Elvish. We broke apart and Haldir said,
"We're proud to fight alongside men once more."

I stood beside Gimli and Legolas, awaiting the orc army.
"You could have picked a better spot," Gimli said who was not tall enough to see over the wall. Suddenly, the sky went bright, revealing a sea of Uruk-hai coming towards us. I looked over at Legolas who's eyes were wide in fright. He looked over and caught me staring at him.
"Are you scared?" he asked me.
"To die? No. I'm afraid that I'll go down without a fight." Legolas looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking.
"Sing something since this might be your last chance." Without any hesitation, I began singing.
What a shame
We all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen
So let the flames begin
So let the flames begin
Oh glory, oh glory
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is what will be, oh glory
Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it I can't let myself regret, such selfishness
