The rain beat down on him with the intensity of a thousand blacksmiths. Shivering Vomyr reflected how much he hated being outside, especially when it was raining and especially in dark mysteriously looking forests like the one he was in now.
Desparately Vomyr cast around for the prince and Ringbearer. His own horse bucked and whinnied with fright as a roar of thunder echoed around the skies but of Ringbearer there was no sign.
Quickly Vomyr dismouted before he was thrown off. Moving to the beast's head he tried to comfort it, but the quivering animal remembered the scars it had along its sides and flinched from his touch.
Muttering "stupid horse" he lead it away on foot.
After what seemed like hours but was probably just minutes of slow patient walking Vomyr reached a clearing.
As if his luck had suddenly changed there stood the king's horse. There was no sign of the elven prince which Vomyr considered to be an added bonus.
"Prince Legolas is not to be harmed" he simpered in a cruel but accurate immitation of the queen. As if he could. A youth of less than 20 years against an elven lord with a grudge against him.
Silently the valet moved towards Ringbearer and valted onto his back. Then swiftly he rode out of the clearing, leaving his own horse behind.
Purely because the animal seemed to have formed a resentment against him and refused to return with him rather than from any good will towards the elf, who would have a long hard walk up to castle without a horse.
Vomyr smiled at the thought of the prince trying to ride the obnoxious beast and pulled his cloak further down over his eyes.
