The Creatures of Mirkwood
Besides the usual creatures of the enemy such as wargs and crebain, parts of Mirkwood were infested with giant spiders, the likes of which Pareth had never seen before. The webs were so thick in some places that Pareth had to use her sword to cut through them. And they bit her but she was strong and mostly immune to the venomous poison.
Pareth killed many spiders in a place called the Scuttledells, and she was never more glad to be able to get out of the area without too much trouble. For there were far worse dangers in Mirkwood than spiders.
And a hunter with skills was in big demand and kept busy as Pareth knew only too well. She looked forward to her next break just like they all did in those days but any breaks were short, perhaps only long enough to replenish both sleep and supplies and no longer. For there was no end to the evil creatures sent by their vile master to stage an attack on Lothlorien. There were many lives sacrificed for the sake of the defence of Lothlorien, and the remaining elves sang sad songs of their fallen companions. Lothlorien would be safe for now.
