Re: The Elven Tales

[Rorah]

I followed Marowen quickly, keeping up with her swift steps. Her father was standing there simply, yet his expression told a story of it's own. The air around him seemed...commanding almost.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen bowed her head to him, then looked back up. She waited expectantly, her green eyes glittering with curiousity. Her father nodded his head to her, then looked at Ibaria. "Welcome to Rivendell." He lowered his head slightly to her in greeting. He straightened back up, this time looking to Marowen. "I have seen both of your futures."

[Rorah]

I bowed respectfully back. I frowned slightly when he spoke, for his words were unexpected. Futures? Why would he need to see mine? There was a short pause between us. "What did you see?" I asked softly, almost as a prompt.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

[sorry about my epic failure of keeping up...]

Marowen's father eyed them both. "You must travel together, to remove a shadow that is forming across the middle earth. If you succeed we shall again live in peace as we have since The Ring was destroyed. If you do not, fire will burn through the forests, water will flood the oceans and lakes. Earth quakes will make even the greatest of fortresses fall. War will overtake my peaceful people, and yours," He looked at Ibaria, "will fall into even worse war."

[Rorah]

'What is this...Shadow?' I asked, frowning. 'What possible danger could Middle-Earth be under this time? Especially after the One Ring had been destroyed, freeing Middle-Earth from all dark forces. It had been a long time since the last war between human forces, or, indeed, a war between any of the races, Human, Elven or Dwarf.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen watched her father, her fair face expressionless, but her eyes deceiving how truly worried she was. Finally she spoke. "Father. I fear this shadow you speak of is the one that has reached the Elves already. Am I correct?" Her father nodded gravely. Marowen turned to Ibaria. "We must travel. Not far, but to the other Elves. I know you must get to your people quickly, and I shall accompony you on that journey, if you shall accompony me on mine."

[Rorah]

Ibaria nodded. 'I will, but this medicen is desperatley needed. I fear if we we don't get back soon, there will be nothing left of my home.' She paused. 'But because you have helped me greatly, I shall do all in my power to help your kind.'

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen bowed her head. "I understand. This should not take long. Please, come with me. Your horse should be well rested now." She lowered her head to her father, then turned and walked away, her pale clothing making a shimmery trail behind her.

[Rorah]

Ibaria also bowed to her father, before following her to the stables. 'I am sure my king would provide us with provisions on our journey.' She said to Marowen as she walked beside her. 'He is very respectful to all elven kind.'

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen nodded. She walked to a stall with a white stallion in it. Patting his nose, she opened the stall. The stallion did not bolt, he merely stepped out of the stall with grace and stood still, waiting for his tack.

[Rorah]

I walked towards the stall with Eoen inside. A small elf girl was patting her, she instantly stepped back and bowed. I smiled and bowed back. Upon seeing the look on the girl's face, I patted Eoen and turned to her. 'It seems she liked you brushing her. Thank you.'

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen turned and watched Ibaria. She couldn't help but smile as she talked with the little elf girl. She turned back to her horse and stroked him, whispering in his ear. He twitched his ears as if he was trying to catch every word she said. Then she turned and went to a tack room, and hauled a white saddle with matching bridle out, and a blue saddle pad. She slid it onto her steed, and motioned for him to walk outside. Once they were outside she mounted him and waited for Ibaria.

[Rorah]

[[Sorry, I changed person there XD]]

Ibaria tacked Eoen up in her normal leather gear and mounted her, thanking the little girl once again. She opened the stable doors, allowing her to join Marowen.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

[It's fine xD]

Marowen looked her over. "Ready to go?" She asked, patting her horse's neck. Her gaze tilted towards the sky, then back to the girl beside her.

[Rorah]

'As ready as I'll ever be.' I chuckled slightly, before ushering Eoen into a trot.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen smiled and nudged Saghdiir(her Horse) into a trot. She was keeping pace with the human, not wanting to go to fast or to slow. She stared ahead, wondering what was so wrong.

[Rorah]

Ibaria sighed, looking in the direction of Rohan, where she knew more people were suffering. She nudged Eoen gently, and he moved into a slow gallop, she looked back to see if Marowen was catching up.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen nudged Saghdiir into a gallop, easily catching up with and then racing past them. She looked back and laughed to see if they were coming. She then leaned slightly forward to let her horse have a bit more speed, trying to reach the other's before the day ended.

[Rorah]

Ibaria smiled and tapped Eoen's sides, she sprung into action, racing behind her, their hooves thundering along the rock that soon turned into soft grass, Rivendell was left behind them as they raced towards Rohan.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen gave a light twitch of the reins and Saghdiir swerved to the left, deeper into the forest. She looked back to see if Ibaria was still coming.

[Rorah]

Ibaria followed hot on her heels as they entered the forests. Eoen picked up a little speed and galloped next to Saghdiir at the same pace. 'If we keep this up we may be there in under two days.' I called across to Marowen.

[Kira The Dragon Master]

Marowen nodded. "That's what I was planning on." She called over to her.

[Rorah]

Ibaria gave a small chuckle. She leaned forwards in her saddle slightly and rubbed Eoen's neck as she galloped.

[[Shall we skip time a bit?]]

[Kira The Dragon Master]

[Yeah...]

Marowen finally reached a very dense part of the forest, and she slowed her horse down. "We're here." She said to her companion.

[Rorah]

Ibaria slowed her down and stroked the horse's neck fondly. 'Finally my people have hope.'
