There had been times the elven ranger and scout had considered giving up. But each time the temptation had tried to dominate him, he'd reminded himself the task given to him wasn't just for himself. No, it was for all of his kin and perhaps even the other races. There had been a multitude of changes and none had been for the best. But the worst by far had been a new source of very out of place temperatures and - what he was originally sent out for - a new venom which had begun to kill off many of the elves. It seemed like a genocide almost and it had taken quite a bit of the population. Whom was behind this and why .. he really did want to know. It was one of the few other factors which made him press on despite how much his legs ached and burned. Though the ranger had been able to ride a horse for about half the journey, it had decided to up and leave him one night. Damn thing ... He murmured lowly under his breath, the memory still not having ceased to haunt him. His head shook in annoyance and a bit of disbelief, causing wild and untamed dark brown locks to move from side to side in the process. Light purple eyes slowly closed as he leaned against a nearby tree, forcing his mind to recall why he was here in the first place. Valinor ... Were anyone nearby - let alone someone who had the knowledge - they would realize his mission was incredibly important. Few had ever gone there before and even less were allowed in the holy place. But it had been the request of the ruler that he had to reach there. Answers - and hopefully solutions - to all that had been happening were supposed to be there. A new surge of energy overtook the young-looking male as his eyes shot wide open. He'd regained more than enough of his breath and composure in his mind. Time to resume the walk. Thankfully, he'd taken his break in a convenient location it had seemed. Soon wooden signs came into view. A low sigh of relief passed his lips. Valrayne had been in dire need of food and water for a few days now. Unfortunately, when the horse had ran away, it took the last few rations with it. Damn thing ... He repeated, weakly pushing the door to the Snowy Eagle Inn open. Pulling his cloak more firmly over his body, he took a seat, hardly caring or minding a female human was nearby. A meal .. and something to drink. I'm not in a picky mood. He merely insisted to the bar keep, a hand reaching down to his side as he began to produce coins from a pouch. While waiting for the requested items to be set before him, his eyes and senses began to take in the new surroundings better. His head turned from side to side ... and it was then that he better noticed the female human. It was only an odd sight simply because he was so used to seeing women elves. So his first impression .. was the rumors of humes had been rather accurate. Just as elves tended to give off an exotic feel about them, the same could be said of the humans. The women were supposed to be as frail as his own kin and yet, that wasn't exactly what he sensed from looking at her. No, there was something more ... stronger. His head shook and then quickly moved away as he caught himself almost staring. My apologies. He finally mused softly. I'm not exactly used to seeing your kind around, nor did I think they'd want to reside in such a place like here. In fact .. his own words made his curiosity piqued. What had brought her here? His head shook again. Lest she wanted to share that information, it wasn't his affairs. Besides, all that really mattered was getting to Valinor. With any luck, he'd be able to regain all his strength and energy by the morning or within a few days. And then, he'd continue on towards his goal, his destination, his hope.
