Cardiloc found no water within his room. Outside was the hallway and as he opened his door to find sustenance instead he saw someone else in the hall. A dark-skinned woman had just entered from the opposing side. She had the wildest dark wispy hair and stood at five foot five, her face hit Cardiloc like a train and he was almost mesmerized by her beauty. Never had he seen a dark woman before, yet she seemed to be a young maiden.
"Uh...." She seemed to say, "Hello?"

There was a sigh from the big beast. Slowly it lowered its arms and with a single movement unshackled Dimitri, breaking his chains.
"You may leave. Thank you. I know now what I must do." Dimitri had none of his weapons and saw no supplies to feed him about with the exception of a small river that swept through the cave.

"Wait. What?" Magath blinked. "You knew who the traitor was and did nothing?" His face boiled with anger. "We could have captured one of them before we were ambushed! We could have gained the information about the other Giants through them and prevented the deaths of hundreds of men!!" Then Sigeric began arguing with him and the Gondorian's features showed shock and confusion. He turned to Daugo, the Hobbit who had been seen conversing with Celeborn often, someone who seemed knowledgeable and trustworthy. Magath expected Daugo to dismiss Iver's story as a lie. Instead, the Hobbit reinforced it.
"YOU LYING MINIONS OF MORGOTH!!!" Magath's chair flew back as he leaped across the table, fists bared as he brought them down, punching Daugo square across the forehead. The hobbit was thrashed backwards on his chair, it toppled with him in it. Suddenly, there was a flash of silver and Magath was smashed into the table, pinned beneath someone much larger.
"Surely you're not completely ignorant?" Glorfindel asked Magath as he held the vengeful man down.
"Let go of me! I'll kill the bastards!"
"If you tried to, you'd doom us all and the inhabitants of this city. You realize the Hobbit is the Behemoth Karoltai? No?" The elf leaned in closer to the writhing Gondorian, "Like that gargantuan Giant that decimated you, that Leviathan. Except larger. And more destructive. You were just speaking of the dangers of unleashing a Giant inside this city. Now you want to injure the Behemoth, the greatest of them? Release a fiery inferno right here and kill us all, the King included? Are you blind?" Suddenly Magath stopped and Glorfindel released him, kicking the man across the table at Arandil. His nose was cracked and bled and Arandil saw his superior defeated by the elf.
Captain Vardamir and his men had drawn their weapons in the meanwhile, aiming crossbows and spears at the Karoltai and more specifically, Glorfindel. King Aragorn was shocked yet said nothing as the events transpired.
Glorfindel, who was still standing upon the table, towering over the five Karoltai, then stated, "I spent enough time with these lot to know that they're lying. Only Sigeric is speaking the truth, yet I sense he too is hiding something. In reality they're all liars, concealing some secret or another. Regardless of this fact, we need them. Yet, if they dare believe they can directly lie to us...." He was speaking to them all but quickly turned, his boot smashing into Iver's face.
The Dalishman was thrown backwards, knocked off his chair and flew onto the ground next to Daugo. Thoruk watched as his friend was btfo-ed assaulted by the elf.
"Then they clearly do not understand that even with their powers, I can kill them. Watch."
Glorfindel dropped down onto Iver and a flurry of punches followed which turned Iver into Papa Smurf as blue as the lapis that came from the Ered Luin.
Daugo found himself stunned on the back of his chair staring up at the ceiling, pain swelling in his forehead as a couple thuds were landed. Sigeric, Ha'zi and Thoruk watched their friend get pummelled into a purple pulp by Glorfindel. Would any of them dare stop the elf? Surely Iver deserved it, yet...
