May It Be

[The last sane person]

OOC: Perhaps i should explain him more.

I was fuming on the inside. Everything had come back. The wars, the death, the pain, all of it. I knew i was no longer a young sapling in their tender youth when energy and life was aplenty. After calmly walking away out of earshot of the elves, I ran as fast and as far away as i could. Jumping, leaping, and running through the trees.

I came latter on to a small clearing next to a stream I fell down and lay there for hours i couldnt count. thinking of all past adventures and exploights. victories and defeats. With a sharp intake of breath an old memory shot up in my eyes.

She was there, laughing and calling my name. Running and calling for me to chase after her. My wife. While we were in our youth. Then that was replaced by another image, darker, i lost my breath completely.

screams, my son and daughter crying for me and for their mother, both but babes. Cries of death. My wife calling for me. Our city had been attacked by the witch king in the dead of night when we did not expect it. Everything was destroyed and killed. My family inculeded. I found her lying face down with her sword broken under her, our children were taken my a neighbor to safety to some other city. I picked her up and wept, not seeing the evil king come behind me.

all went black. Dark days blended into dark dreams. I shuddered and got up and washed my face in the stream.

"ENOUGH! I WANT NO MORE! ALL I WANT IS TO HAVE MY FAMILY BACK!" I sank back down and rested until it was either days or hours that went by as i heard my party pass.

[Kalile]

After the Ents left, Kalile slipped off by her self to try and find Seth. What if... No. Seth was capable of taking care of himself. But it was so hard not to worry... again, Kalile was lost in memory, faces coming up at her and blending. Theoden, dead because she hadn't gotten to him in time blended with Thorin, her gruff dwarven friend who had died because she hadn't saved him. She hadn't been quick enough either time. All the faces of her loved ones, and those who she had let die blurred and became Seth's. I'll not lose him too. Even if the others go against him, I won't hesitate again.
A long time later, Kalile came to a small clearing. A stream ran through it. Kalile knelt to wash her face of telltale streaks, and saw him.
"Seth?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.

[Indril Anarion]

*Back at the company*

Luthien gasped at Quickbeam's words.

"Under siege," she repeated. "We must hurry, Opan."

The company picked up their belogings and followed the Ents. As they walked, Luthien had a feeling that something was missing.

[The last sane person]

I was roused from my dreams when i heard a noise in the distance.

Kalile...

I had heard something dash through the trees and fall into my clearing. At first she didnt hear or see me, she had tear marks on her face and she bent down to wash them off, then she saw me.

"Seth?" her voice was slightly shakey, i nodded. "Are you alright? why did you run off like that?"

i remained silent for a while and then found my voice. "I needed to be alone for a while. as for whether i am alright or not....I dont know. although i could ask you the same question, i think i can guess the answer."

"I dont care if the others are against you, i will stand by your side." She came and sat next to me, i hung my head and looked away.

"Thank you. you dont know what that means to me, but i can not endanger more lives. I dont think i can stand loseing anymore loved ones. You needent cry, although i am not a welcome part of the fellowship, i will help you. "

[Opan]

Opans head thudded throught the commotion around her, as she heard Luthiens voice she looked up to find them packing to leave. Opan gathered herself and raised her hood to sheild her from the stark light, as she raised a splitting image came bursting into her skull engraving her minds eye

A woman with a fair face and green eyes
Smoothe curled hair spoiled with dirt and..........blood
Hand corrested her face and water dripped gently onto her lips, tears

Opans eyes screwed up with pain as the image floated and took every part of her by storm.

"Luthien were is Kalile and Seth........ were are they" Opan ordered slighly in panic for some reason
"Fimbren Fuind them" she screamed uncontrolably
Fimbren stood dazed at Opans panic and stared closly at her
"FIND THEM!" she urged
Fimbren slowly sidestepped not taking his eyes off Opan them turned and ran off
"Luthien we cannot leave woithout them i dont know why but we cant"

Luthien stood and looked at Opan "I'm not staying with such company Opan even if it depends on this quest" She sparked with arrogance and stubborness

"You fool" Opan sobbed "You dont see ahead of your pride do you" She belted out

"WE NEED THIS FELLOWSHIP MORE THAN ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND"

Opan paced up and down waiting for Fimbrens return

"we need them" she spoke quietly
"We need them"
Luthien and Myanduri looked at each other and them at Opan

"shes not of sane mind" Luthien added shooting a dagger into the ground and looking about into the trees with a bored expression on her face
Opan looked up at her and chose rightly top ignore her

"Myanduri...Whats taking them so long" her head remained under cover
"The Wood speacks to me...evil is stronger than ever"

[Kalile]

This is turning out to be a very intense rpg, where we all find out things about our characters that we didn't know.

Good job, Opan!

[The last sane person]

OOC: Who are you talking about? Kalile? cause Galadriel has blue eyes.

Kalile and i were sitting together side by side, not saying a word and brooding over past memories, when i sensed Opan. Behind Opan was a lurking evil. I grabbed Kaliles hand.

"Its Opan! Trouble! we have got to go!" With that we got up and ran ran

[Indril Anarion]

Luthien looked at Opan. The words that she had uttered rang in her mind.

Visions of the fall of Lorien flashed through her mind.
NO! That couldn't come to pass. No! I will do whatver it takes...
A vision of the Lady soon flashed.
"Then put aside your differences and keep the fellowship together," her voice rang inside her ears.

Suddenly, Luthien's eyes flung open widely. She had fallen asleep somehow. She walked up to Opan.
"I'm sorry," she said softly. "I was wrong to put my pride before my duties."

Opan looked at her, worry in her eyes.

"Then we must reunite the Fellowship as soon as possible," she said solemnly.

[Opan]

OOC: Thank you Kalile i am flattered by your comment But its not just my RPG.........we all helped to create it Lets keep it going.
oh and i had a flash back of your wife Seth...... though it might be a cool lil' connection thing.... i dunno


IC: Opan panted looking around the clearling then at Luthien.
''It's - it's fine" she breathed, cold air rushing from her mouth.

The Night was nurished and darkness had fallen many hours ago, the air was intensly cold and a bitter wind lapped up all that stood in its path.

Opan covered her mouth to steady herself and closed her eyes breathing more heavily to regain herself.
She looked over at Myanduri who looked confused and worried aboutt he whole affair then at Luthien

"It's okay, we just need to rejoin"
breathing heavily Opan stood in the clearing waiting for the others to arrive once again, with only few left with her she felt vunerable and feared for the fellowship.

[The last sane person]

Kalile and i had rushed back to Opan and the rest of the fellowship. There was one odd moment between us before i broke it.

"if we are to reach our goal we had best move." I had gotten Shabaq geared up and one look flashed between Opan and I.

<I stick to what i said earlier. I wont get myself or Kalile killed trying to save a wayward quest> With that they got onto the boats and Kalile and i got onto Shabaq. I still kept the Medallion, hidden in a pouch on my belt. We were off to Lothlorien.

[Kalile]

Ooc: At my grandma's house: can't post till Friday, and can't read posts till then. have to go now!

[Kalile]

Ooc: I managed to sneak online here.... I can't guarantee more posts, though.

Ic: "Hurry up!" Treebeard wheezed,"the Lady bade us go quickly!"

"We could carry you," offered Quickbeam, though the other (silent) Ents looked doubtful, apprehensive, or even shocked.

[Indril Anarion]

Luthien mounted the boat and loaded it with their supplies. They paddled close to shore, following the Ents' long strides. Luthien's pride had been broken, and she felt ashamed of her actions. She tried to make as minimal eye contact as possible with those in her party. She thought back to several moments ago, when Seth and Kalile rejoined the fellowship. It was obvious that there was still tension there, but she was tired of the argument and vowed to herself that she would never bring it up again.

[Opan]

OOC. I know i shouldnt be posting non RPG stuff on here BUT...what i came to say was I'm going on my holiday to Las Vegas n Orlando for 2 weeks SO.......i wont be posting......

try not to post to much (whispers)

i think kalie is away too....

n e way...happy posting

[Nariel]

Myanduri was very confused, but that was nothing new. She saw Fimbren and narrowed her eyes. There was something about him? What was this she felt? It was almost as if they had been together at one time, but not in this life. He looked familiar and she felt drawn to him. She then felt him looking at her and realized she was staring. He smiled and she smiled in return. She opened her mouth to say something, but then shut it. What would she have said?

[Kalile]

To spice it up a little:

A black arrow thunked into the wood of the lead boat. Another, white flew from the opposite direction as Shabaq came into view. Kalile stood on the horse's back, bow drawn. As the ambush was sprung, a human came into view. He wore half plate, and his patrol carried curving swords. Archers rained arrows from the trees. Kalile shot arrows, sitting now. But when the human stood so clearly at the banks, she stood again to shoot. He fell, wounded but alive, and another arrow hit Kalile in the shoulder. She slumped onto the horse with a cry.

[Indril Anarion]

Luthien was quick to grab her arrow, shooting any enemy that came into her view. She saw Kalile fall off her horse. Quickly, she jumped out of the boat, and headed for her, blocking several arrows meant to finsh her off.

"Kalile! Are you alright?" she said. "Hold still a moment."

With that, Luthien pulled the arrow out of Kalile. She used it to kill off another enemy archer that was close by. Luthien pulled a peice of cloth from the bottom of her dress and wrapped Kalile's wound with it. Luthien took the wounded Kalile out of firing range and leaned her against the trunk of a tree.

"Wait here until it is safe," said Luthien.
And before Kalile could protest, Luthien was gone, sending a nearby Ent to look after Kalile.

[Kalile]

Kalile was grateful for the bandage, but stood quickly when the other had gone. No more arrows for me today, She thought grimly, drew her sword, and hurried back into the fray.

[The last sane person]

Damn it! Another attack, this time we werent so prepared. Kalile decided to do some fancy shooting and got herself stuck with an arrow, I saw Luthien jump to her rescue so i rode ahead. I jumped off Shabaq and readied my crossbow. It was a hailstorm of arrows for the next few minutes until they dropped their bows and charged us.

"To the Wood!" I cried. I made a head count as my little band went deeper into the wood, Kalile was being carried by Quickbeam.

"Why the wood?" Mya came up next to me.

"Because, that way we can lead them to a gully below us and have them trapped! Ready your bows!" I geared up agian and answered the enemy with a few arrows of my own.

[Kalile]

Kalile sighed. She could walk just fine, dammit! She wasn't going to add insult to injury and act like a child, however, so submitted to being carried. I'm going to get them for this.
She was answered by a chorus of laughter in her head from all who were listening.


<Which way, Seth?> Warrl asked from his position by Shabaq, <I can spook thier horses in the direction you want.>
