As Saruman begins his attack on Rohan the Ladies of Light arrive in
Rohan on foot. Have they arrived in time? 



Chapter 5:


Shi had not planned on fallng asleep. Nor had many of the others, but
sleep had come to all of them save Arwen, who kept watch for them all.
It had been mid morning when the Ladies of Light had paused under the
small stand of trees, it was late afternoon when an embarrised Shi woke
up.  


" I'm sorry," Shi said as she joined Arwen at her vantage point.


" It's okay, everyone needed a rest after that wild ride," Arwen smiled.


Arwen's smile quickly faded as she caught a hint of air from a light
breeze and saw a small cloud of dust far off into the distance.

" Orcs!," Arwen shouted as she fitted an arrow into her bow.


" In daylight?," Shi asked, but knew that Arwen was right.


" Raiding party, anywhere from 30 to 50," Arwen continued," We should be
able to handle them. Well, you could save us the trouble by yourself if
we weren't trying to keep from being noticed."


" You think they smell bad now, you should get a whiff of roast Orc,"
Shi joked," Not a pleasent odor." 


Except for Galadriel, Lorelei, and Urchin the Ladies of Light were fresh
from their long nap. Most were eager for a fight.


" I have a plan," Queen Rena said," This praire is much like the land of
the Zuni."


" I'm open to all plans, but we don't have much time," Shi said.


" An ambush. Tara, Mara, and Urchin are our fastest and most acrobatic
members, they're the bait," Rena said," This grass is tall, easy to hide
in. Arwen, Willow, and Krista, hide off to the right with their bows,
Serena, Emi, and Ky to the left with their bows. Shi, Yasmina and I will
be in the center, hidden behind the trees. When the Orcs walk in, Tara,
Mara, and Urchin pretend to flee. Urchin, you go far to the rear, that's
where I want Galadriel and Lorelei to protect you. Mara, you fight well
from trees, and Tara will join Yasmina, Shi and myself. We should have
better than half of them before we even have to go hand to hand."


" Why not just let me get them with a couple of fireballs," Lorelei
asked.

  
" Saruman might detect magic," Rena answered," Right now he probably
doesn't even know we're here. We go throwing magic around and we might
blow our cover."


" And any chance of sneaking into Mordor undetected," the normally quiet
Mara said.


" Why does everyone get to fight but me," Urchin pouted.


Urchin was very surprised when Vicki grabbed her pointed ear and dragged
her to the edge of the trees away from the others.


" Owwwww! Owwwww," Urchin yelped.


Once out of earshot Shi let go and set Urchin down on a stump. Urchin
looked at Shi upset, like a little puppy dog, as she rubbed her ear.


" I'm sorry Urchin," Shi said with head bowed," I love you more than I
ever thought it possible to love someone. But you are my daughter now,
and I will do anything to protect you. Urchin, killing someone, even an
Orc, isn't fun. It's not glorious, it's not heroic. Taking a life, any
life is a terrible thing."


" But they're evil," Urchin whined.


" Urchin," Shi said cupping the girl'sface gently," I have killed
hundreds of Orcs and dozens of evil men. Killing doesn't make you feel
brave. It makes you feel dirty. Sometimes it has to be done, like now,
but the shame, the pain, the knowing that you ended the hopes and dreams
of that being. That being will never have a chance to laugh or love
again. Their children will have no father, their wives no husband. Orcs
have differant values than we do, but they feel pain, they bleed, they
die. Do you understand."


" I-I think I do," Urchin said.


Shi kissed Urchin on the forehead, and taking her by the hand they
rejoined the others who were already in position. Urchin was so
confused, but loved Shi all the more despite the ear pull. To think that
her new mother even felt for the enemy!

........................

Orcs are not noted for intelligence. Seeing 2 half elf girls and a near
nude human girl, playing, only a few visible weapons, the fierce Uruk's
thought with their groins. Without a thought, some of them even dropped
their swords, the uber-orcs charged. Letting out a few fake squels,
Urchin's was real, the trio seemed to turn and run.


" Now!," Rena shouted. 


Six arrows flew, 6 Uruk's fell, 5 dead, 1 critical. Krista cursed as
hers was the arrow that didn't kill. Six more arrows flew downing
another 6 Orcs. Those 6 were all dead. The women got off the third
flight as the Orc's finally got it in their thick skulls that they were
trapped. Six more died, folowed by a seventh as Rena stepped out and
threw one of her javelins right through the Uruk's armor into his black
heart.


Orcs were not great at military stratigy either. The typical Orc tactic
was a full frontal assault with overwelming numbers. Being surrounded on
3 sides caused them to attack individually in every direction at once.
Easy pickings for the Ladies of Light. Two came right at Arwen, and died
from 2 more of her arrows.


Krista had no time to fire another arrow as an Orc chraged her, but she
had laid her spear beside her and now siezed it and braced the butt of
it into the ground. The Orc impaled himself. Willow threw 2 of her
otomahawks. Each buried deep in a Orc head as she drew her her hand
otomahawk and split the skull of a third. Another javelin from Queen
Rena flew liting an Uruk off his feet and crashing down to the ground
dead. 


Serena got another one with an arrow. Emitalia had droped her bow and
drew both her swords. Slashing right with the katana she decapitated an
Uruk, then thrust the shorter wakazashi into another Orc's stomich.
Kymora also got another one with an arrow before she was forced to draw
her sword. The shock of blocking the huge Uruk's sword rattled her arms,
but Kymora was amazon. Kicking the Orc in the balls she then sliced his
head off as he dropped to his knees.


An even dozen continued to charge forward as the others seemed lost.
Serena and Arwen shot another one each of the Orcs who were now crazed
with fear and hate. Krista was forced to abandon her spear as it was
lodged too deep in the Orc's body. Drawing her sword and grasping her
shield she ran towards her friend Kymora who was being hard pressed by 2
more Uruks. Back to back they soon finished off the pair of brutes.

  
Shi frowned as the 12 Orcs were coming right for where Rena, Tara, Mara,
and she was. If the Orcs got past them they would have a clear path
right to where Galadriel, Lorelei, and Urchin where.  Shi was determined
that they would not pass. Mara had leaped into a tree and waited for a
chance to pounce. Two of the charging Uruks were soon right where she
wanted them.


Leaping to a lower branch Mara swung and kicked both of the huge Orcs
sending them to the ground. Drawing her knife Mara stabbed the first one
in the heart and slit the second ones throat as he tried to rise. Rena's
shield punch with the long Zuni shield took an Orc by surprise. Rena
thrust her short spear deep into his chest. Tara threw 6 knives with
deadly aim. Three Orcs fell dead, a 4th was on his knees clutching at
the knife in his stomich, and with a knife in each knee.


Shi had tapped the butt end of her trick staff activating the long spear
stilletto in the end. Shi stabbed one, then spun around and sliced
another Uruk's throat. But 3 of the Orcs had indeed had gotten past
them.


" NO!!," Shi screamed 

 
For all her power Galadriel was inexperianced in combat. Galadriel knew
spells that could turn entire armys of Orcs into puppy chow. Thinking of
the first spell that she could Galadriel created a temporal vortex that
sucked one of the Orcs into another time, another place. The same vortex
brought a woman from that time and place there, but at that second no
one noticed her.


The last 2 went after Urchin. Lorelei tried to stop them but the biggest
one caught her with the flat of his sword, knocking her to the ground.
Urchin threw one of her otamahawks. The otamahawk buried itself into the
Uruk's face. At the ripe of old age of 17 (it was her birthday, but
Urchin didn't know it) Urchin had killed for the first time. Urchin drew
her short sword, but the Orc knocked her sword away, also sending the
small girl hard into a tree. Urchin screamed in terror as the Orc lifted
his sword. 


Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Shi ran to help her daughter
and was blocked by 3 Orc's. Shi spun, spun again, and all 3 were dead.
The Orc trying to kill Urchin smiled as his sword came down. Then his
head exploded. Jenny rose and saw only 2 of the monster ones that
were'nt dead or dying and quickly shot both of them. 


Shi scooped up and hugged Urchin fiercely. Mara, Rena, and Kymora
quickly finished off the 4 wounded Orcs. Lorelei sat up and rubbed her
head, angry at herself. She had failed to protect Urchin. Lorelei was
the only one that hadn't gotten any of the Uruk's. Arwen helped her up.


" Are you okay?," Arwen asked.


" No I'm not okay. I've seen combat before, I could have turned that Orc
to jelly, instead I froze and almost got Urchin killed," Lorelei said,
pissed at herself.


" It's okay," Shi said," It happens. I forgive you. Besides, this young
lady saved her."


Jenny had no idea what any of them were saying. It wasn't English, and
Jenny was fluent in Spanish as well, could pass in Sioux, and knew some
Comanche and Apache. ' Wait a minute, do some of these women have
pointed ears?,' Jenny thought as she started to take in the fact that
the only ones standing were women. Jenny did a quick count. 


She saw Willow and for a second thought she might be part of the
Comanche raiding party she had just escaped from. But the markings and
style of dress looked vaugely Sioux, although a tribe that Jenny had
never heard of. Jenny took the time to reload, loading 6. Smart
gunfighters usually loaded 5, keeping the 6th as a safety. Jenny usually
loaded 5, but she wasn't sure just where she was, or if more of those
things they had fought were still around.


Jenny wished that she could understand what all of these beautiful women
were saying. Despite obvious racial and cultural differances the other
women all spoke the same language, albeit when the ones with pointed
ears spoke it sounded lighter, prettier somehow. And the curiousity
factor was there as well. The women had fought and defeated those ugly
things using swords and bows. ' Just like those old storys I read about
in school,' Jenny thought.


Galadriel smiled at her a spoke a simple translation spell as Shi walked
over to Jenny and extended her hand.


" Thank you for saving my daughters life," Shi said clasping Jenny's
forearm with her hand.


" Um, you're welcome," Jenny replied as she now understood what everyone
was saying. 


Jenny had actually read somwhere that the forearm clasp was a medieval
handshake/greeting and returned it. 


" You are probably wondering where you are, and who we are," Shi smiled.


" Well, it sure aint Texas," Jenny grinned, any doubts she had about
being on the right side were vanishing.


" I'm Shi Lung," Shi said," I am pleased to meet you Texas."


" No, my name is Jenny, Jenny James," Jenny grinned," I was in Texas
when that hole in the air appeared."


" Ah, so Texas is your country," Yasmina said," I'm Yasmina from Rabia."


The women all introduced themselves. Jenny found herself liking them
all. Jenny was curious about the things she had shot.


" They are called Uruk Hai, a stronger branch of the Orc race," Tara
explained," Regular Orcs are smaller and weaker, and usually pretty
cowardly. Then there are Goblins, which are almost the same race as
Orcs."


" And yes, they are as evil as they look," Serena said," The ones we
just fought serve Saruman, a once great wizard who has tured to evil and
now is allied with the ultimate evil Sauron."


" Okay, I'm lost already," Jenny said.


" I think my grandmother should tell you," Arwen smiled.

 
" Huh? Well, where does the old woman live?," Jenny asked.


" I'm right here," Galadriel laughed.


" No way," Jenny said disbelieving as she looked at the beautiful woman.


" Yes, way," Galadriel laughed. 


Galadriel then began the tale of Sauron and the one ring. Jenny listened
intently, not beliving much of it, until Shi turned into a dragon and
Serena took her swan form. Tasting a piece of lembas and finding herself
full after a single bite. These things and more began to convince Jenny
that she was not crazy.


Galadriel then told her of their quest to destroy the one ring and thus
save Middle Earth. 


" It's hard to believe any of this," Jenny said.


" You've never seen real magic, have you?," Lorelei asked as she guessd
the truth," I wonder if it even exists where you are from. Perhaps all
you've ever seen are tricksters and their slight of hand."


" A woman who turns into a swan, another who turns into a dragon, elves,
holes that appear out of thin air, where I am from those are fairy
tales. Stories told to little children," Jenny said softly," But this is
real isn't it? I really am somewhere else." 


" Oh this is very real," Arwen said," And if we lose, this world will
suffer terror and horror beyond belief."

.....................

A Comanche warrior picked up the discarded Winchester Jenny had left. It
was a fine weapon, well worth he trouble, even though the woman had
seemingly vanished. It was too bad about the horse. Just then the lost
Uruk yelled and charged at him with sword raised. The brave
instinctively tried to block the sword strike with the rifle.


The rifle was sliced and damaged beyond repair, but it had saved the
brave, even though the force knocked him to the ground. The Uruk raised
his sword again but was shot by 6 other Comanche warriors. Tales would
be told about a white woman who became a demon.

..........................

It was 2 days of walking later when Arwen and Mara scouting ahead had
seen signs of a large party of Orcs, perhaps as many as 300. They were
on foot and heading back to Isengard, but they were being pursued by
riders. Since they were heading the other way, towards Edoras, the
Ladies of Light simply continued on. 


Later that day Willow reported smoke behind them. A battle was taking
place, far away from them, perhaps 30 miles. Jenny was fitting in well
with the other women. Her tales about America seemed as magical to many
of them as their storys did to her. Urchin was especially curious about
how they got by without a king.


It amused Jenny as she tried to explain the concept of a president and
choosing your leaders.


" The problem with kings is that whether they are good or bad you have
to do what they say as long as they live," Jenny told Urchin, Krista,
Mara, Kymora, and Tara as they walked together," Even if you get a good
king how do you know if his son will then be a good king. That's why you
have so many bad kings. In America, if the president is bad the people
can vote him out of office every 4 years. Most of our presidents have
been pretty good, especially Washington, Jefferson, and poor Mr.
Lincoln."


" Who was Mr. Lincoln?," Urchin asked.


" He was the one who freed the slaves and ended slavery in America,"
Jenny spoke fondly of her memories as a little girl, when her father,
then a soldier in the Union army had held her 11 year old hand as they
had travelled 400 miles to hear President Lincoln speak at Gettysburg.


" He sounds like a great man. What happened to him?," Urchin innocently
asked, fascinated.


" He was murdered," Jenny sadly said," But we still have his dream. And
slavery is no more."


The idea of a world without slavery seemed wonderful, but pretty far out
to the Ladies of Light, but Jenny was silent about the great and
terrible war it had took to end it. 


" Riders are coming," Arwen said, ending the conversation," Many of
them."


" Should we take cover?," Kymora asked.


" There isn't a lot of cover to take," Shi said, looking at the flat
grasslands," Besides, the Riders of Rohan are allies, even though they
may not know us. And after all, we are simply a party of mere women.
Hoods up, especiially ladies with pointy ears."  


Soon a large party of horsemen, 105 of them could be seen. With them
were 17 riderless horses, only 3 of which bore saddles. They were tall
and fair, reminding Jenny very much of Vikings. 


" We need those horses," Shi said.


It was obvious that they could easily be seen so Shi waved to the
riders. But the Ladies of Light also had their weapons ready. Bows were
fitted with arrows, swords were drawn, Jenny's again loaded 6. 


" Keep your weapons down, but ready," Arwen said," The men of the Rohan
are gallant and true, but like most men want to keep us in the kitchen."


The Riders had indeed spotted them and rode towards them. The Ladies of
Light had not expected them to surround them wth spears pointed right at
them. Shi nodded at Arwen to do the talking for them. Arwen quickly
discerned their leader. 


" The gallantry of the Rohirrim is less if they now point spears at
women," Arwen calmly said.


" These are dangerous times and desperate tidings milady," the leader
said," War is coming, though not yet declared. Orcs have been raiding
outlying villages and have even dared steal horses of the Mark. We have
just came from a battle against 300 of them, many of them the foul breed
of Saruman. And also did we see signs of a battle where another 50 were
slain, though by who we know not."


" That was our doing," Arwen said.


" Yours? A small group of women?," the leader scoffed.


" This is a hand picked team of champions from the tournemnt of Dracul,"
Shi spoke up," I am Shi Lung of Chin. I lead, but Arwen speaks now for
me since I am unfamiliar with your ways. We are on a mission against the
Dark Lord Sauron. And we are blessed by the Lady of Lorien."


" It seems that I have spoken in haste milady," the leader said," I
myself won 'horse spear' at the tournement last year. Ah, but these are
strange days indeed. So, the rumors are true that the Lady of the Golden
Wood exists. They say that she is a witch of terrible power and that
none escape from her alive."


" That's a lie!," Urchin yelled, her hands in little fists," She is
beautiful and good and kind you-you meanie!"


The leader threw his head back and laughed heartily. Many of his men
also could not keep from laughter or broad grins.


" The pup barks loudly," the leader said," She has a true heart, but she
is no champion, why is this child among you?" 


" She is my adopted daughter, and but 2 days ago faced and killed an
Orc," Shi spoke up," There is nowhere safer for her than with her
friends, and she has skills that may be useful to us later on."


" And by what manner do you know of the Lady?," The way from Dracul does
not pass through the Golden Wood."


" If you knew of her you would not be so quick to judge her," Arwen
said.


" I can speak for myself," Galadriel said discarding the shapeless robe
and hood she wore. 


All the men gasped at the sight of her. Galadriel had that effect on
most.


" I am the Lady," Galadriel said," Do I look evil? Or would horns on top
of my head make you more comfortable?"


" Forgive me milady," the leader slightly bowed," You are indeed fair,
and I sense no evil in you. If you have chosen to partake in this quest
it speaks well. Know that Eomer son of Eomund, Third Marshall of
Riddermark asks for your pardon."


" So, the gallantry of the Rohirrim does still exist," Galadriel said
with a slight bow.


" It does, though some, even in the court of our lord, good King
Theoden, would have it otherwise," Eomer said," In not so faraway days
gone by our greetings of strangers to our land was more, hospitable."


" These are perilous days," Arwen said," And Rohan is trapped between
Mordor and Isengard even as they wish to aid their long time allies of
Gondor."


" Perilous days indeed milady," Eomer answered," War is as yet
undeclared and yet it is upon us. The Mark needs to rise up and yet
because of some I am all but outlaw for daring to rescue villages from
raiding Orcs and to avenge the theft of our horses. Three men did I lose
in this latest attack. Good men they were."


" My lord, do you not notice that these women do be on foot," Lt. Falco
spoke up," How came they here from far off Dracul?"


" We lost our mounts upon our arrival in the land of Rohan," Arwen
lied," Even caution can sometimes fail to fatigue and ill luck. We had
planned to journey to Edoras in an attempt to purchase mounts."


Lying was not something that any elf lked. The lie had almost choked
Arwen and she felt foul, but it had served it's purpose as Eomer, Lt.
Falco and many others nodded assent.     


" While our own need for good horses is great," Eomer said," The needs
of your company are greater. Riders of the Mark cannot allow fellow
warriors to trudge on foot. I will not ask you of the mission you are
on. For to have come so far and for the Lady to chose to be among you
your mission must be grave indeed. One request do I have however."


" Name it, and if it be within our power we shall do it," Shi said.


" Tis a simple request milady of Chin," Eomer said," My sister Eowyn is
in Edoras, speak to her and tell her that I am well. She is niece of
King Theoden and a Shield Maiden of Rohan. Tell her that I must protect
my people even if others feel not so."


" It shall be as you ask," Shi bowed.


Lt. Falco, a good man and true, personally led the extra horses to where
the women now stood. Choosing 15 of the spare mounts, Lt. Falco
suggested a gentle but strong and swift mare for Urchin, the women
mounted. Thanking Eomer they again turned south. Towards Edoras!

.......................

The ride to Edoras was quick, taking only 2 days and a few hours of a
third day. Arriving in mid-morning the Ladies of Light saw much that
suggessted war was upon them. Weapons were being made, provisions were
being gathered, but the Rohirrim that they met seemed, well, frustrated
by King Theoden's inaction.


The appearance of a band of warrior women caused only a slight stir
since they were such a small band. Shi had slagged 3 of her scales the
night before, shaping them into small gold bars so they would have more
than enough money to buy whatever supplies they would need for the next
part of their journey. 


" Having a gold dragon around can be quite useful," Tara said to Jenny.


" I am still getting used to all of this," Jenny said," If Shi had been
a part of the Union army, Richmond would have fallen in a week." 


" You speak sometimes of 'Unions' and 'Johnny Rebs' and of many things
that are just as strange to us," Yasmina said," And then there are your
magic weapons. I have only seen you use them once and that only little,
but they were so devastating. Right through the thick armor of Uruk Hai
with such a small hole."


" It's not magic, just good old American firearms," Jenny said.


" A-mer-rica," Willow said," That sounds so similar to the land I live
in."


" Same continant, same country," Jenny sadly said," Only differance is a
few thousand years I think. And my people are not treating yours very
well. I lived a winter with the Lakota Sioux. And well, come spring a
lot of people I cared about got massacred."


" But ifyour people and mine are at war, why would you choose to live
with mine," Willow asked.


" A man?," Yasmina asked.


" Hell no!," Jenny shouted, then realized what she might have revieled
and bit her lip.


Several of the women laughed. 


" Um, what's so funny?," Jenny asked surprised.


" We were wondering if you were a girl lover like all the rest of us,"
Lorelei laughed.


" You mean, that all of you, um, you are all, um, lesbians?," Jenny
asked hopefully.


" Yep, we're lesbians," Serena smiled," Well, when we finaly let Urchin
join then all of us will be."


" Oh, I have been wanting to be other women like me for so long," Jenny
shyly smiled," That's why when I met ' Little Wild One' I was so happy."


" Was she among those killed?," Willow asked.


" No, thank goodness she was one of the few who escaped, but we were
seperated," Jenny said, sadness creeping back in," Last I heard she had
made it to Canada, but her father forced her to marry a 'yuck' man."


Shi called a halt at an inn. 


" Okay, I think we need to split into 3 groups," Shi said," Tara,
Serena, Willow, Mara, and Urchin need to stay here, get us rooms and see
that the horses are taken care of. The Rohirrim know that we are on
Rohan mounts, best to show them that we do take care of them. Krista,
Kymora, Jenny, Yasmina, and Lorelei, go buy whatever supplies you might
think we need.. Maybe get a couple of extra draft horses or mules if we
can. It's a long way to Mordor and this is our last chance to stock up
on supplies. I need our royalty to come with me to fulfill our debt to
Lord Eomer." 


" That's means Queen Galadriel, Princess Arwen, Queen Rena, Daimyo
Emitalia," Yasmina whispered to Jenny.


' I kind of got that,' Jenny thought amused. Just because she wasn't
from that time didn't mean she couldn't tell who was left. As the women
seperated Shi called Willow over to her.


" Willow, do you love Urchin?," Shi asked.


" Yes, yes I do," Willow truthfully answered.


" I think my daughter is in love with you as well," Shi said," Galadriel
believes that Urchin is now of legal age. You are the closest in age to
her as well. I will talk to Urchin, and if she wants to, you can start
teaching her kissing and petting. Perhaps you will even be her first.
Maybe eventually even her wife."


" I would like that very much," Willow smiled.


Willow and Urchin shyly looked at each other. It was obvious that they
were in love.
