Glorfindel yelled to his men "No matter what you do , do not , do not let them get up this hill , as long as we have it they lose , arrows cannot fly so high , nor can the use there calvary against us "
They smashed there spears off there shields in reply then he yelled out once more " Let the bows of the noldor sing once more in this glorious day " with that the elves cheered and they got there bows ready .

Garland tuned and rode back to the lines with Ilmare. "I will ride back to my 10,000 Elite Guard and prepare a cavalry charge. If you would, please see to it a heavy blanket of arrows is laid into their forces." He nodded too her and spurred his horse, ridding back to his men.

The shield men got there shields over head and protected the archers from any incoming arrows that were lucky enough to fly so high, then he orders the rest to dig there spears into the ground as an anti calvary barrier , they were strong but not strong enough to push these spears back. The elves waited for the command to open fire , they were the greatest archers Miiddle Earth had seen .

She agreed and gave the sign for her bowman to get ready. Than she rode over to Minos and said: "We take that hill. I want to show him if the wargs really can't get up there. Even my grandmother could ride up that hill." She turned to the archers and shouted: "Archer of Enedwaith! Fire your Arrowrain!"
The archers fired a volly, bows anlgled into the air so that the arrows rain down upon the hill top.

Some of the arrows fell short , some hitting the shields and some finally hitting there mark , Enedwraith struck first , it was rivendells right to defend it self so it did,
With that Glorfindel yelled out in elvish "VOLLEY" with thst arrows shot up through the air then rained down upon the enmy , then Glorfindel yelled out once movre " The Calvary do not let them up , then he yelled out again Volley " and once more the bows of the nodlor sang, in harmony. The speqrs were ready for the incoming wargs or horses what might try and attack.

Minos grunted in response, He gave a quick order and the division of dark dwarves, 10,000 strong set to moving in one directions, pulling back, out of archers range as they went to flank the hills west slope. Minos then gave order to the gobblin archers and they began raining deadly vollies upon the hill, adding to that of the other archers. Minos then Took seat atop a wrag, drawing his axe. Like lightning five thousand wrag riders charged the hill, swarming the slopes as ants would swarm a disturbed mound. As the wrags approached the lines of Murazor's elves, they sunk their teeth into many spears, snapping them as twigs. Some riders fell to Noldor arrows, leaving several blood hungy wrags to reek havoc as they pleased.

The archer pulled their arrows out of the quivers, shooting when they were ready and covered the hilltop with their continous rain.

The first spears snapped , then the second line was ready and there spears were thrust forth into the incoming horde , some wargs managed to jump the spears , but lived not for long ,
He yelled to the hsields men to place them selves between the speers like a barrier to not let them past,
And once more the archers turned there attention to the wargs and shot arrow after arrow , making every shot count , as if it were there last with deadly percision as they were famed for.

Some arrows rained down on the archers of Enedwaith as well. Ilmare raised her hand and the horse rider prepared to surround the hill out of shooting distance from two sides. The wolfes of Enedwaith howled and waited eagerly for their command. The queen of Enedwaith gave her command and the wolfes followed the path of the wargriders up the hill, running and fletching their teeth, thirsty for elvenblood.

As Garland reached his men he looked back and observed the wrags charging the southern slope. He drew his sword and with a shout, he led his soldiers into to fray. The Elites drew their bows and fired shot after shot as they sped towards the eastern slope. As they neared the top the first line of horses plowed into the spears, skewing many of them. As the spears pierced the horses through they broke, leaving a line of dead horses, but opening the way for the thousands more that charged behind. Garlands cavalry flooded passed passed the bodies of dead horses and into the ranks of Murazor's elves, the Elite Guards swung thier blades down on elves as their horses kicked and bucked at the enemy. Garland himself had been infront, and was now standing over his dead horse. Wasting no time he took control of the other now horseless guards and charged directly into the elves.

Glorfindel , yelled out " Knights of the golden flower with me " and from the east side of the sloppe formed 3000 knights led by the golden haired elf , and they charged down the hill at the incoming enemys, charging down such a clavary charge would be devastating coming down hill. The elven swords men stood in a great ling to the back of the shield wall, where they could swing there swords at any incomers , they were buying time for the archers to whittle down the opposing force. The spear men sytated to ram there spears with great skill if they snaped they switche dto ther eblades , then they would buy more time for the spear walll again.

The Riders of Enedwaith made their way uphill. The stout small beasts werent easy weary and so they came swift to up the hill and charged into the already broken spear line, together with the wolfes. They spread like a fan over the top and run into the lines of the foe for bloody work.

the spear line split up and and went between the gaps of the swords men inwhich they swung there swirds simultainiously (like in the beggining of fotr)
The rest if the calvary charged down hill and swept some of the goblin archers away along with the enedwaith archers and swords men, some of the archers on horse turning back to fire arrows ,
On the hill the archers were firing keeping some of the horse'es and wolves at bay , until some forsook there bow and took up spears off the ground to wedge into the enemy , or they took out there swords .

Minos' wrag riders had now pushed their way to the hilltop, they wreaked havoc as they bit elves, crushing them with their mighty jaws and flinging lifeless bodies into more elves before them. Minos leapt from his wrag and charged into a group of Noldor archers, swinging is axe straight through a few of them and skewing others through with his mighty horns.
There came a great hurling of throwing axes as the ten thousand dark dwarves simutaneously struck Murazor's north and west flanks, the dwarves spliting into two equal divisions and steadily making their way up the hill.
Minos smiled as he saw the dwarves on the north and west, now Murazor's troops were completely surrounded: Wrags upon the south, Garlands troops to the east, and the dark dwarves on the west and north slopes. This hilltop would be the death of Rivendales force.

The calvary force had swept away the force s of enedwaith and Moria at the bttom of the slope and they race dup wards shooting arrows , not worrying about there flank now ,
The grooup in the middle formed a circle with spears and the bows sang shooting wargs trying to jump through and if they did they got sliced , by the swords ,
Glorfindel led thhe calvary force upwards yelling "Die beast of the east ,fall beneath my blade , " he swung at the Minatours head , in a swift stroke , as the calvary finally got up the hill it so gladyl charged down with few losses.
Murazor looked at the wolf wondering wheater to help the center of his army which Ilnmare had struck the first blow , not he .
