hey i'm back....... u still here?

zavron · 02-08-2003, 02:00 PM

ooc: Someone can introduce me in whenever they want.

Ithilwin · 02-09-2003, 07:39 AM

I suddenly turned around and looked about me intently.Someone was behind the trees,I could feel it.I turned to my glance to the person with the wolf,they did not seem to heed me.Then I looked back once more,for the person was still there.He seemed to be following us,but why?I caught the glimpse of an axe and immediately released Narcalen's reins and fitted and arrow to my quiver,without making sound.Someone with an axe surely did not came to this forest having a good purpose.Narcalen stood beside me still,but Gwairim flew to see who it was.I stayed there still as stone,waiting for the person to appear.

Sicirus · 02-09-2003, 12:25 PM

ooc: Yay more peoples!!!!

ic: I sipped from the stream and when I looked up I saw in the trees a young maiden elf looking at me with the hawk on her shoulder that kept following us. Swift Paws gave a low menecing growl but I put a hand on his back and told him to keep drinking for I knew the elf ment no harm to us. Not in this fare land of Lorien.
The elf seemed to have been alerted by a movement in the woods behind her and looked at me to see if I noticed. I gave no indication of my knolegdge and continued drinking.
After finishing my last gulp I took of my hood and revealed my face which was now from pale to a light tan from being out of Morodor. My eyes met hers and I knew I looked grim from my trip from Gondor to lorien.
(I cannot speak Quenya so please exept english)
Hello" I said pleasently.

Ithilwin · 02-09-2003, 01:33 PM

ooc: ok

Hearing the elf's voice,I turned to face her,nodding her to keep silent.Gwirim flew twice in circle above us and then settled on my arm once more,as if ignoring the hidden stranger.I took two steps backwards and lowered my bow.yet still being alert.I found myself near the elf "Ssh,someone's in the trees.He has been following us for days.His purpose I do not know,but not good it is I deem.We should let him come forth at his own time" I whispered,not wanting to be heard further.Narcalen stood nigh me and then everything went quiet.

Sicirus · 02-09-2003, 01:45 PM

ic: I did as the other elf did and fixed my bow into a shooting posseion. The woods stood silent exept some chattering of birds and scuttering of the squirrels. Then another movement came to our eqars and we saw a flash of a black cloak and then I commanded Swift paws to follow the creature. The other elf commanded her hawk to follow then we waited.
"The creeature may not be a threat but maybe just a guard of the woods seeing if we are enemy or not."

"Well I have been aware of something following me ever since I left my home land."

"Well then we shall see as soon as our friends return."

Ithilwin · 02-09-2003, 01:53 PM

"I do not this creature is a guard of the Golden Forest.He is short for an elf and wields an axe.Elves do not use axes" I said,having my eyes fixed on the trees.No movement was to be seen,seeming that the creature had either heeded us and stood still,waiting or he had ran away.
Narcalen pawed the ground anxiously,but stopped as soon as I gripped his reins.We stayed there waiting,without making a noise,waiting for the mysterious stranger to make his appearance

Anarwen · 02-11-2003, 04:25 PM

ooc: so sorry that I haven’t' posted yet, I can only get the computer about twice a week.

ic:

Anarwen sat atop her horse, looking at two strangers in the Golden wood. Only recently she had come back to Lorien, for she had been abroad on business. She knew that these two did not know she was here, for which she was thankful, but she noticed that they were looking at something else in the forest. "Quilde Ambalotsë," she said softly to her horse, she did not yet want them to know she was here. Slowly she dismounted Ambalotsë, and quietly she unsheathed her sword, ready to use it if need be. Silently she creped up behind them until she was about a fathom away, "Man nar lye, ar manen nar lye mi I velicë taurë en' Lorien? (Who are you, and why are you in the great forest of Lorien?)" she said quietly.

Sicirus · 02-12-2003, 06:44 AM

ic:The forest soon was pushed back to reveal an elf sitting high atop a magnifisent(Sp) horse. "Who are you? And why are you in the great land of Lorien?" The elf questioned gesturing towards her sword.
I sighed in great relief. "I am Sicirus from Ilmadris returning from my post in Mrodor. I was sent here by the men of Gondor to speak with the Lord and Lady of Lothlorien. As well as to take a breath from my post for I have not in years seen the sun so beautiful in the lands of the elves."

Ithilwin · 02-13-2003, 08:56 AM

ooc:where's zavron?
it's ok Anarwen,I also have a scedule on when I can use the Internet

I suddenly turned around,distracted by hoofbeats.An elf was near us,asking our business in the Golden Forest.I forgot the creature lurking in the trees for a while and answered her question,without fearing to reveal my origin,for an elf she was and seemed of not bad will "Im Ithilwin,Elrondiel"(I am Ithilwin,daughter of Elrond)and thus I continued in Common Speech "Lorien was my mother's homeland,therefore my second home.I have returned here to dwell with my mother's kindred for some time,for I have not been here for long"I lowered my bow and stepped further from the trees,stroking Narcalen,for he had been unnoticed.He neighed gently at my gesture and looked into the elf's eyes

Anarwen · 02-13-2003, 02:15 PM

Anarwen looked at both of these elves, they spoke the truth. She bowed to Ithilwin, “You speak Sindarin Lady Ithilwin, it is strange that when you are in the Golden Realm you do not speak the high tongue, but most elves from Imladris don’t. Your Mother was Celebrian,” Anarwen smiled at these words, “I knew her, she is a very fair elf.” She now turned to the other elf, “Morodor? That is strange, but strange things do happen in this day and age.” She sheathed her sword, “Inye Anarwen, yende en’ Lothlorien, ar Aranel en’ I rava. I am returning to Lorien, for I had business abroad, and now I come back to my homeland. I can take you to Caras Galadon if you wish.”

Ithilwin · 02-13-2003, 03:22 PM

I smiled lightly and nodded to Anarwen and looked at Sicirus.She had been to Mordor,'twas strange indeed.Yet,I did not speak and ignoring the creature that waited hidden in the shadows,I turned away and stroke Narcalen once more.I did not mount him,but grasped his reins and walked.I heard Gwairim behind,he had returned and followed us.Nimrodel trickled silently beside us and following it,we started walking to the City of the Trees.I looked around at the trees,the Golden Forest was so beautiful.Everything was quiet and only the sound of the horses' hooves was heard

Ithilwin · 02-14-2003, 09:23 AM

ïïc: Next week I will have have tests every day,so I can't guarantee(sp?) if I can get online

Sicirus · 02-16-2003, 10:43 AM

ooc: Sorry I've been gone. Very busy.

ic: The elf asked of the bussines of Mordor I simply said that I would discuss this at council tonight. The elf nodded. We followed the elf towards the entrance to the kingdom of Galadriel. Elf enjoyed her chat much with ithilwin. (I think thats yuor name right?)
We arrived at at the gates which glowed silver in the sunlight that seemed so ancient. A stream passed through under the gates and I saw my reflection and noticed how grim I looked compared to my companions.

Ithilwin · 02-16-2003, 02:40 PM

We entered the gates of the City of the Trees,Caras Galadhon.My heart rejoiced when seeing Lorien-I had been away for long.The city had not changed in all the years of my absence.From here I could see the hill of Cerin Amroth,glittering golden and white as the last sun rays hit the elanor and niphredil that grew there.
The elves turned to see us as we walked swiftly by them,yet recognizing us.I left Anarwen and Sicirus for a while and lead Narcalen to the stables,where he could rest from our long journey.I stroke him and turned back to my company. "You wanted to speak to the lady Galadriel,I deem" I spoke to Sicirus "I can take you to her,I that is thy wish,for I must go to meet her too"
