"Alrighty!" Mininirime smiled brightly. She opened the gate to the field where Eaglos and Mordred stood and let the out. She got up on her horse, bareback, without reigns or saddle and softly whispered into Modred's ear, before bringing her heals softly into his sides. He stepped forward.
Mininirime looked at the ground and the small tiger looked up at her. "Maybe it's time that you run for yourself." She said. The tiger looked at it's own paws as though he understood that he was going to have to use them. suddenly he shot forward and an a few yards and then came back.
"I think he agrees with you." Erugenel moved Eaglos forward as well.
They gave their horses soft thuds in the side and suddenly they sprang forward running through the forest, followed by the young white tiger.
OOC: do you want to make something happen?

OOC: Sure Hmmm... It felt good to ride freely just to feel the muscles in his back as they moved along side Mordred and Mini. The wind they made through their speed played with their hair and their horses main's and tails. It was a sight to see, to maidens laughing as they rode a small ball of fur chasing after them happily. They went out the gates rounding sharply and bolted into the woods. Mordred and Aeglos jumped over fallen trees, carefuly crashed through under brush and splashed through small creeks. It had been so long since she went out for a ride just to enjoy herself Erugenel thought smiling. It was good. But soon the fun stopped both elfs becoming very cautious their ears twitching the animals' ears bent back. They stopped listening. "Help me! Please some one help!" Mini and Erugenel exchanged glances hearing the cry again and both exchanging a silent understanding urged their horses forward and went after the cry for help.

They didn't need to go far when they saw an awful sight A young elvenmaiden was stuck under a dead horse. But the horse hadn't died of natural causes. The horse was slashed in the stomach and its sides. Almost all its flesh was thorn in shreds. The two elfs rushed over and helped the maiden from under the horse. She was in shock and as they helped her away from carcass she passed out. They carefully put her on the forest floor, resting against a tree. Mini and Erugenel tried to get the maiden to gain consciousness. The horses were becoming restless. Mordred neighed softly and nibbled at Mini's ear. She looked up and saw the horses tripled near the dead body. Mini got up and walked to the horses. She searched the ground. From the horse she walked a few steps and sunk down to the ground.
She walked back to Erugenel, who still sat next to the maiden. Dropping down next to her Mini related her discovery. "The horse was attacked from beneath. I think it was dead instantly. It toppled over and she got trapped beneath it. I wonder what killed him though, it must have been something strong to cause that much damage."
OOC: I didn't know what to post, but I was thinking that some kind of unknown monster could be something. What do you think?

OOC: Cool idea.
Erugenel glanced back where the horse laid and looked worriedly around. "Lets hope it was not from beneath the earth. Just something small and vicious that we may be able to see." She began to heave the elfmaiden up with some help from Mini and she nodded her head to the horses. "We need to take her to the palace. And then tell King Thranduil about this." She said looking around. Mini nodded her head.
"My thoughts exactly." And together they heaved her onto one of the horses and they hurried back to the palace.

As they reached the palace walls they went through the gates, still on horseback. In full gallop they went through the park and the gardens and didn't stop until they reached the front door of the castle. Mininirime dismounted quickly and took the Elfmaiden over from Erugenel, and started ascending to stair as Erugenel followed quickly. They passed through the Entrance Hall, they fast footsteps echoed through the corridors, until they stopped in front of the closed doors of Thranduil's throne chamber. Erugenel opened the doors and they quickly entered as they reached Thranduil Erugenel bend one knee into a bow, and drew his attention.
"Hail King Thranduil." They both said. Thranduil turned in his throne as got up in shock as he saw what Mininirime was carrying.

"What in all of Valenor is this?" He asked hurrying to them. Mini and Erugenel exchanged glances.
"We were out on a ride when we heard cries for help. We went over to investigate and we found this elf-maiden fallen beneath her horse who had been killed instantly." Mini told him.
"She needs to be taken to a healer, and some one needs to investigate- whatever killed the horse is still in the woods." Erugenel added quickly as he stared at both of them.

"Lord Thranduil?" Mininirime looked at the King as he seemed shocked and looked at the heavily injured women. Her call seemed to bring him back to reality again.
"Put her there, on the table. Guards! Get the palace healer now!" He looked at the two elves. "Can you find the place where you found her again?"
They both nodded quickly. "Take a troop of men a lead them there, start your search there. Lady Mininirime? You've lived with the Rangers of the North have you not?"
"Yes, my Lord, though it has been many a year ago."
"Try and remember what you can, and find this beast."
Mininirime and Erugenel quickly rushed out of the hall, just as the healer entered and ran to the unconscious woman.

"It has been long since I last went to the soldier courters." Erugenel said as they hurried towards them.
"When were you ever there?" Mini asked. Erugenel looked at her and smiled.
"My father would have me fight and converse the soldiers when I was young. And I also helped serve them their meals. I became known as the pretty little fighter."
They got to the building where the soldiers who gathered during the days were. Mini and Erugenel stepped in and gathered their attention at once. It was rare to see one elf maiden hurry into their house, but two was odd.
"Volunteers for a search?" Mini asked and Erugenel smiled.
"We have work to do men." She added her eyes flashing when she remembered the faces around her, some of them had been particularly interested in her before she left, but she looked different now, except for her forever crystal ball eyes. She did not expect any of them to remember her. Even if she had come in every day before she left.

"A creature of some kind is loose in the forest and it has attacked a horse." Mininirime got them going, within a few seconds the soldiers stood in front them, ready to go. They got going immediately and after a short march they reached the place of the attack. Blood was on the ground and the dead horse was still fresh. Mininirime realised that the attack happened less then an hour ago. The tracks would still be fresh. She got down on her knees and started searching the ground. First where the horse lay and then back to where first drops of blood were. The ground was soft there and loose, like someone had dug a hole there and filled it again with dirt. "Erugenel!" She called. Erugenel and the soldiers had been searching the the ground in circles round the horse, but they came rushing towards Mininirime now. "Look at this. It is like the creature came out of the ground here, like it was hidden in the ground waiting for someone to come overhead."

Erugenel sighed bending down to examine the dirt. It was indeed loose she realized as she let her slender fingers lightly touch the clods.
"I was afraid of that." She said. "Underground creatures are so much harder to track and kill than those who are above the earth."

"You can say that again. How can we track it if it moves underground?" Mininirime racked her brain, she had enough experience on tracking people or animals above ground, but underneath it, she came a little short in that area. But something had to be done. "Let's check if we can find another place where it surfaced, maybe we can track it in that way." Mininirime spread to the left and closely examined the ground.

Erugenel nodded her head and appointed groups to circle around. She did not want any one to be alone, or too far away. It seemed as if they had been searching for ours. Every one of them was as silent as the dead, not even the chains and metal they wore made any noise. Finally one of the soldiers hit a rock with his sword out of frustraition, but as a result he found something wrapping itself around his ankle and he immediatley cried out.

OOC: This reminds me of Tremors lol! At least I think that's what the movies are called.
