In the mounatin path on the way out there were Orcs, 2 Drakes, and a Balrog guarding the exit. Elestel leading the way saw the foes and was filled with dread but did not flee or give in. The four heros and the remaining warriors charged the enemies and fought them. They were able to kill the dragons and most of the Orcs with heavy losses but they were not able to kill or defeat the Balrog. The four were very tired and could not defeat the foul beast. The remaining orcs charged the warriors and the Heros. They were able to kill all the orcs but all the warriors were spent and could not fight more. Elestel seeing the Women and Children watching in terror knew that if the Balrog didn't fall they would all perish. He told his friends "We have fought many battles with one another... sang many songs together... all of you have been with me for so long... I am glad to call you my friends, my brothers.... my family..... Thorin, Aradolth, Elestan... Let each of you find peace and happiness and one day may we meet again in this world or another...Goodbye.." With that he chraged the Balrog and dueled him with all his remaining strength. The Balrog made a ring of fire around the two making none able to enter with out harm. Thus all they could do was watch in agony... They battled for a little under 3 hours and many songs are sung of the epic battle between Elestel and the Balrog. Elestel drove his sword many times into the Balrog and did him much hurt but Elestel could not withstand the creatures hate and fury and was wounded but fought on. In the end Elestel slide beneath and behind the Balrog and climbed up his fiery back buring his hands and feet but he jumped up and drove his sword into the Demons head for a final blow. With that the creature fell into the abyss and died but with him went the Elf Lord Elestel mortally wounded.... (There is a 50 50 chance he is dead and not dead Elestel may prehaps if Thorin allows it will appear later in the 2nd and 3rd ages or sooner).
