Andúril

!

'

cried

Aragorn

.

'

Andúril

for

the

Dúnedain

!

'

Charging

from

the

side

,

they

hurled

themselves

upon

the

wild

men

.

Andúril

rose

and

fell

,

gleaming

with

white

fire

.

A

shout

went

up

from

wall

and

tower

:

'

Andúril

!

Andúril

goes

to

war

.

The

Blade

that

was

Broken

shines

again

!

'

Dismayed

the

rammers

let

fall

the

trees

and

turned

to

fight

;

but

the

wall

of

their

shields

was

broken

as

by

a

lightning-stroke

,

and

they

were

swept

away

,

hewn

down

,

or

cast

over

the

Rock

into

the

stony

stream

below

.

The

orc-archers

shot

wildly

and

then

fled

.

For

a

moment

Éomer

and

Aragorn

halted

before

the

gates

.

The

thunder

was

rumbling

in

the

distance

now

.

The

lightning

flickered

still

,

far

off

among

the

mountains

in

the

South

.

A

keen

wind

was

blowing

from

the

North

again

.

The

clouds

were

torn

and

drifting

,

and

stars

peeped

out

;

and

above

the

hills

of

the

Coomb-side

the

westering

moon

rode

,

glimmering

yellow

in

the

storm-wrack

.

'

We

did

not

come

too

soon

,

'

said

Aragorn

,

looking

at

the

gates

.

Their

great

hinges

and

iron

bars

were

wrenched

and

bent

;

many

of

their

timbers

were

cracked

.

'

Yet

we

can

not

stay

here

beyond

the

walls

to

defend

them

,

'

said

Éomer

.

'

Look

!

'

He

pointed

to

the

causeway

.

Already

a

great

press

of

Orcs

and

Men

were

gathering

again

beyond

the

stream

.

Arrows

whined

,

and

skipped

on

the

stones

about

them

.

'

Come

!

We

must

get

back

and

see

what

we

can

do

to

pile

stone

and

beam

across

the

gates

within

.

Come

now

!

They

turned

and

ran

.

At

that

moment

some

dozen

Orcs

that

had

lain

motionless

among

the

slain

leaped

to

their

feet

,

and

came

silently

and

swiftly

behind

.

Two

flung

themselves

to

the

ground

at

Éomer

's

heels

,

tripped

him

,

and

in

a

moment

they

were

on

top

of

him

.

But

a

small

dark

figure

that

none

had

observed

sprang

out

of

the

shadows

and

gave

a

hoarse

shout

:

Baruk

Khazâd

!

Khazâd

ai-mênu

!

An

axe

swung

and

swept

back

.

Two

Orcs

fell

headless

.

The

rest

fled

.

Éomer

struggled

to

his

feet

,

even

as

Aragorn

ran

back

to

his

aid

.

The

postern

was

closed

again

,

the

iron

door

was

barred

and

piled

inside

with

stones

.

When

all

were

safe

within

,

Éomer

turned

:

'

I

thank

you

,

Gimli

son

of

Glóin

!

'

he

said

.

'

I

did

not

know

that

you

were

with

us

in

the

sortie

.

But

oft

the

unbidden

guest

proves

the

best

company

.

How

came

you

there

?
