Thread: Fellowship Of Forodwaith (Karameida & darkangel76)

Vaemyr Uinen Alatar Vaemyr watched Brynnes face and a fleeting grin passed his lips. Her face was so full of life and light. You could read her thoughts and emotions in her expressively brilliant brown honest eyes. Though he had only talked to her privately in one moment of time, he often saw her around, talking with her parents or sitting and doing her needle work. He remembered her well. She had always worn her thoughts and feelings on her sleeves, for the most part. She had become a fine woman. woman the word echoed in his mind. Yes, she was a woman now. No longer a child, it would take him time to adjust. She had always been a simple but elegant flower that had to be guarded from the harshness of the world. She was older now and had seen that darkness firsthand herself. She was stronger than he'd thought she'd be. She had really been an unexpected shock. Not a bad shock he admitted to himself silently but a shock nonetheless. He waited patiently as she talked, explained and worked her way to the answer to his question. Time and kindness can certainly go a long way in making things easier but they are not what make a home. he said nodding. He however did not have an answer for her admission of loneliness. What advice could he give? He himself was afflicted with it but her presence did seem to make that cold feeling feel farther away. He tried once or twice to say something, he began talking his voice soft but unwavering I know that I am incapable of easing that pain of loneliness inside of you but I swear to you that I will not leave you alone. As I vowed I shall make sure that whatever else happens, I will see you home to where you belong, back in the bosom of your family in Dale. I promise you will not remain within this darkness. There among friends and family the loneliness will disappear. he said. He made a fist with his left hand and brought it to rest over his heart before bowing his head to her. As long as it was within his power he refused to let someone else suffer as he had. Or to give up and die as his father had done. He would not let that happen to someone else. He raised his head after a brief moment I doubt that you would be a hindrance M'lady. Indeed, I'm positive that you will no doubt be invaluable during this quest. You have proven yourself very resourceful, I am honored that you will be accompanying me. he said flashing a smile. Neither of them spoke after that and things fell silent between them for a time, but eventually he spoke I'm not exactly sure how long it will take me to complete my quest. he said sighing. Hesitating a moment he took one of the chairs that sat opposite of her. A war has broken out in middle earth. I have come here to the north to seek aid. In order to do that I must first break the curse of the winter in the lands of Forodwaith. he said sighing and frowning staring at a spot on the table. It was the first time he had really sat down and thought about what he was undertaking. He really may have bitten off more than he can chew, which normally wouldn't be an issue except he now had Brynne. He looked up at her. She could not come to harm, he had sworn an oath and he would keep it. Somehow. Blinking he turned his head in time to see two females more or less stumble into the inn. He raised his brow slightly, one of them was an Elf. He could not be certain about her companion but he suspected she was not, she was also not from Forodwaith. He wondered what had brought the elf and her companion to these cursed lands and what had they been fleeing from moments earlier? He followed their progress around the room for a moment before shaking his head and turning back to Brynne. It wasn't any of his business. En smiled to herself seeing maran's eyes fill with happiness at seeing her old teacher. So much so that she had completely ignored her question. She smiled fondly at Maran as she reached up and pulled the hood of her cloak off revealing delicate but beautiful features, long golden hair and sun warmed skin. Judging from your expression, you already have an idea of why I might be here. she said wryly. Her expression turned serious once more I have come here to break the curse that Forodwaith suffers under. She looked around her blue eyes drifting over the patrons. It was filled with the Lossoth which wasn't so surprising. Her gaze passed over a table that was also on the edges of the bar but quickly looked back. There was a human male and female sitting and talking. Neither were from Forodwaith, that much was clear. Outsiders were treated with open or barely concealed disgust and there was nothing in Forodwaith that would be worth the danger. So, why were the two of them here? Shaking herself free of her thoughts she turned her gaze back onto Maran's face. What are you doing here, Maran? she asked. Has something happened in Rivendale? Reaching across the table she picked up one of Maran's hands and held onto it with both of hers, they were so cold. Is there anything I can do to help? she asked, her expression worried.
