The Search.....

[Jesse]

OOC: This is a rp thread for members of the Fellowship of the Seekers. However, other Mithril Knight members may participate.


IC: Jesse walked out of the Golden Axe Inn and stood waiting for the rest of the Fellowship near a pole. He walked slowly towards his horse and stopped. In back of his horse was his Eagle. Jesse let it out and it flew and landed on his right arm. Then the knight wrote a message on a peice of paper and enclosed it in the talons of the Eagle.

"Go with speed Eieso! Fly! Fly! Fly to my house and tell my maid that I'll be gone for a few months. Be sure to give her the enclosed message in your talons. Go with speed!" Jesse said as the Eagle lifted itself off his arm and then flew off into the distance. Now the knight was alone standing in the pouring rain waiting for the rest of the Fellowship of the Seekers to arrive. They would begin their journey into Gohan shortly.....

[Theoden_king]

Behind the Golden Axe Inn, smoking a pipe, stood a man, tall and proud with a rough worn face. Theoden, was his name. He stepped into the stables and brought Snowmane out into the street, he rode up to Jesse.

"I fear this quest will not be as easy as it seemed when we first discussed to set out friend" Theoden paused and looked about him, he drew closer to Jesse "Can you not feel it? An omen almost that we will meet enemys on our Journeys to Gohan. And still I will not turn aside until our mission is complete" Theoden looked around him impatiently "where now is Famrill and Angoreth? I wish to make haste and leave before the day becomes old" Theoden then turned to the door of the Inn and watched and waited for the elves to arise

[Frodorocks]

OOC: Jesse told me that I could join this RP W/O joining the Guild, but if you're a Mod that doesn't agree, just delete this or PM me and I'll join.
IC:Sitting at the bar with a pint after her long travels, Lhunsoroniel Starriver the hobelf warroir saw her friend Jesse. She walked over to where he and a friend were standing. "I have heard of your quest and if you and your friends are willing, I will join you. No matter how hard the quest may be, and no matter how many enemies we encounter, I will never stray. May I join you?" the warrioress asked with a smile.:)

[Jesse]

*Jesse looked at his friend Caitlin and :) . He knew she would want to come.

"Of course you can join us Caitlin! In fact, I'd be honored. Right now we're just waiting for some Elves to step out of the Golden Axe Inn so we can begin our quest....."*

[Jesse]

*Just then, Jesse's Eagle returned with a message enclosed in it's talons. The beautiful Eagle landed softly on Jesse's right arm. The Knight took the peice of paper from the Eagle and opened it. It read:

Dear Jesse, I received your message. However I fear the trip to Gohan will not be a good one. Orcs are patrolling the roads along with Uruk-Hai. Please be careful. Tell your companions to be prepared for anything. Good luck with finding your birthparents. I suggest you leave as soon as possible. There is a dark force growing near Mordor again. It isn't Sauron, but something more sinister. Please be careful! Yours in haste, Felecia.

Jesse closed the letter and looked to Theodon and Caitlin.

"It is as I feared. We must leave immdietely, with or without our companions. For weeks my sleep has been plagued with dreams of darkness coming over Middle Earth. Darkness more sinister than that of Sauron. Something is going to happen soon. I can feel it in my bones and smell it in the air. An ancient evil has awakened. One of you go inside and get Anagoreth and the other Elf. We must leave at once. We are being watched."*

[Frodorocks]

:) "Thanks." Lhunsoroniel walked back inside and looked around. She spotted two Elves sitting in a corner. She walked over to them. " Hello, you must be Angoreth." she said to one of them. "My name is Lhunsoroniel, I'm Jesse's friend. The darkness is growing, we must hurry. Are you with us?"

[Angoreth]

The elf looks up at Lhunsoroniel,"Yes I am with you, I have been waiting, I rode ahead ealier to look at our path it should fair us well for a day or so.I have not been properly introduced I am Angoreth silver leaf, this is my sister Famrill, my cousin over there is lamerend she will stay behind to keep my good friend maeg compeny."raises hand to wast"Shall we go" adn with that the three walked out of the inn.

[Theoden_king]

Theoden bowed low to the new companion "Hello friend I am Theoden, there will be time later for us to talk more openly about our personal lives, but we have now at least been introduced" He turned to Angoreth "It will be a shame to leave behind this inn" he said with a grim face "and I do not know what danger we will run into, but I hope that you and your sister are as prepared for this journey as the rest of this group?" He said with a smile.

Theoden turned to Jesse "My lord, you must lead the way now but I shall follow wherever you may lead"

[Angoreth]

"Don't you worry Theoden my friend, Elf's are always prepaired. You know being prepaired runs very deep in my Family" she said as she and her sister mounted their horses."and yes it is a shame to leave the inn, it becomes a part of you, but it is not like we won't return unless we die a good fight" she said as she fingered her sword.

[Jesse]

*Jesse jumps on his horse and looks at the Fellowship. In it he sees courage, loyalty, justice, & kindness. The Fellowship would protect him and each other if their lives depended on it. Never in his life did Jesse see so many people agreeing to help him find his parents. When he usually asked for information on their whereabouts (Jesse assumed they were still alive and well in health), people laughed at him. Calling him a fool and dreamer. Jesse then held out a map in front of everyone:

"We will make our course towards the Archives. I first must find the meaning of my visions. The road to Gohan will not be an easy one. It is being watched by Orcs and Uruk-Hai for some unknown reason. My Eagle will fly ahead as patrol. If he sees or hears anything unusual, he will immediately return to my right arm and tell me. Inside the Archives there should be papers that tell of what happened before Sauron was around. What evil lurked in Middle Earth. Once I know what that evil is, we will stop in Lothlorien and then Minas Tirith. Then our journey will go West, to the Gap of Rohan where the enterance to the sacred kingdom of Gohan is located. I advise all of you to be prepared for anything. I know some magic and healing spells, but I am not as powerful as Gandalf the White. The Archives are located near The Great River. Let's move Fellowship of the Seekers!" Jesse explained as he rolled up the map of Middle Earth. Then his horse began moving East, towards the mountains, where the Mines of Moria are located. His Eagle flew ahead of the group and Jesse dre

[Angoreth]

"Alright so our journy begins" she said as she rode behind jesse.

[Theoden_king]

Thoeden shook his head uneasily "Lothlorien" he said with fear to himself, "I have heard terrible things about any man that enters those realms"
he looked around to the rest of the fellowship "If it is the will of the rest of the company I will cross the borders of that land but not gladly"

Theoden whispered a few words to Snowmane and quickly caught up with the rest of the group

Theoden turned to Angoreth "If any of us die I cant imagine it being the elves" he said with a wry smile

[Angoreth]

"There is no need to fear lothlorien, but if you are set in not going I shall ride with you to the border, no one should ride alone it is not safe in this late days."she said as she looked towards the sky.

[Jesse]

*Jesse and the rest of the Company continue riding and walking. The hours go by and now they are in a field. Soon the sun begins to set and Jesse puts up his hand.

"We will rest here for the night. I hope you all don't mind sleeping in the great outdoors. I will post watch and guard you from any evil that should come our way. With my Eagle's keen sense of sound, nothing that's unfriendly will get past us. Tomorrow we make for the Archives. I advise everyone to get some sleep. We have a longer journey ahead of us tomorrow."*

[Angoreth]

"alrighty then,"she said as her and her sister dismounted their horses and got their packs out.

[Mablung]

A smallish pair of Uruk Hai trackers approached silently from down wind of the party. As they neared them and got ready to strike on the conversing forms a swish and a crack were heard. The both fell forward one with a knife sticking out with his throat and the other with his neck at an odd angle. Two humans stepped forward from the brush and one pried his knife free from the Orc's neck then turned to the unarmed one. "Told you they were Uruks Sarin. Now you owe me when we get to a town."

Sarin turned to him. "Well hes a small one besides you know I can't pay for a whole meal with the way you eat Lolik."He turned to see the party watching the new comers warily. "Oh how rude of us I am Sarin Skysight from the Heren Istarion."

Lolik bowed to the group. "I am Lolik N'Athatan, Major of the Rangers. We are the friends Maegelen sent after you. We were in the Inn actually and would have left with you however we are all old friends and our reunion party was a bit wild. I'm still having trouble seeing straight."

[Theoden_king]

just at that moment I sound came from behind the fellowship, a man rode up to them tall and fair of face with a lot of wisdom in his eyes, "I wish to speak to Theoden king" and with that the two left the company and talked for a long while.

When they returned Theoden turned to the group, "This is Thenedor from the city of Gondor" he said "there is pressing business that I must take care of in my realm and I bid you all farewell but leave you in the safe hands of my friend" Theoden turned and left quickly, to defend his realm. turning back he cried I will meet you in Rohan, when you get there"

Thenedor bowed low "your quest and names are known to me, and I bring gifts from the King of Gondor" He took out a small pack and unravelled it. Turning to Jesse he said "This is a sword wrought of silver and gold, take it and name it what you will" Then to Famrill he said "This dagger is a blade of the Numeanor and will serve you well" then to Angoreth he gave a jewel on a white chain, "This was made by your own people and only the elves could have captured such a beautiful thing"

He turned to the rest of the fellowship "begging your pardon but I was not expecting to find so many here and have no gifts that would be worth giving to you" he bowed low again to the fellowship and then sat down

[Frodorocks]

"That's quite alright, the gift of your company is a great gift indeed." Lhunsoroniel replied, smiling at the newcomer. "And welcome Lolik, that was very good timing."

[Jesse]

*Jesse turns to Theodon_King. He :) and salutes him.

"It has been a pleasure being in your company. Thank you for spending your time with us. And thank you for the blade. I really appreciate it. Thanks again. May your journey's take you to a path of enlightenment. My blessings go to you." Jesse says as Theodon_King rides away. When he's disappeared from view, Jesse says to himself...

"Until our next meeting. Until we cross paths again." He then turns to Lolik. Jesse smiles. "Welcome Lolik to the Fellowship of the Seekers. We are currently heading for the archives. If you wish to join us, I'd be honored. My name is Jesse. The leader of this Company."*

[Mablung]

Lolik smiled and nodded to Jesse then turned back to Sarin. "This looks like a more than capable group why did Maeg send both of us along. I can understand one as a place holder but both?"

Sarin shrugged. "With Uruk Hai tracking them and going to a place called the archives I think we may find enough things to do. But if it does turn out he sent us for no reason I suppose one of us could leave once we reach the Gap of Rohan."

"Yes and lets hope thats the way it turns out. I hate everything a battle all the time."

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor turns to Sarin "I passed a group of Uruk-hai just before I reach the group, I fear they will be here before the night is over. I do not know if these are the same Uruk's that you speak of but either way we are in danger"

He turned to look over the horizon, "I hope Theoden makes it safely home" he sadi with a grim expression

Turning back to the group he said "we should take turns keeping watch tonight, I only ask for a few hours sleep as I have travelled far, but wake me in a few hours and I shall take a fair turn's watch"

[Angoreth]

"Let the Uruk-hie come"said famrill as she sheathed her new Dagger. "Yes I am ready for a good fight"said Angoreth as she put the chain about her neck. "Hello,Sarin and Lolik" said Famrill as she bow'd her head.

[Mablung]

Lolik looked over at Angoreth. "So they have two rangers mixed up in this business now eh? Anyway there are Uruks all around this area as we fougth many coming in. I doubt the group you saw was all of them. Either way if they approach from the way you came we shall have little problem detecting them. Their stench will be an announcement from a mile away."

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor sat in thought at length he spoke "yes we should be safe but I have a bad feeling"

**************************************************

When Theoden left the group he had rode far and long before nightfall, the day was starting to fade away when he laid down by some trees to rest. A sharp crack of twigs in the trees behind him made him sit up and unsheath his sword, before him stood 30 or 40 Urak-hai, immediatly they charged but none could outmaster Theoden with a sword, Snowmane had fled, before he was slain. Arrows flew at Theoden but his Hauberk was strong, an endless sea of dead Uruks lay by theodens feet but more kept coming from behind the trees. Theoden grew weary, "help, help" he cried as he retreated but none of the company would have heard him, save the elves, but they could not come to his aid in time. As he backed away a new courage came over him "I joined the fellowship to find some peace" he said "now I shall find it in death" A cheer went up from the Uruks, their victory was near but admist the yells a single voice could be heard crying "Rohan, Rohan. Herugrim for the Mark"
At the battle's end a total of 3 score Uruks were slain but Theoden had fallen pierced by many arrows. So ended the time of Theoden son of Thengel king of the Mark.

**************************************************
Thenedor shifted ucomfortably, he was muttering snippets of songs to himself in his own tongue. He turned to Angoreth "Are you familiar wth our king Elessar?" He asked "he sent those gifts and I thought he may have known something about that jewel which you carry but I do not know what it is"

[Angoreth]

Famrill woke dead from sleep, she had heard theodens cry's. She mounted her horse and rode of fast as wind.

Angoreth woke but did not follow, she went and woke Jesse"Jesse, Theoden is dead"she said as she looked out to the west.

Famrill rode hard and fast she did not falture for fear of being to late.Famrill could see off in the distance a liture of body's all across the ground, she rode harder when she had reached the bodys she started searching hoping she would not find what she found.Theoden son of thengel now lay dead on the ground, Famrill dismounted her horse and ran towards his body, she felt his face for warmth but she was to late,why did I not hear his crys sooner? she said as she removed his helmet, she laid his helmet beside his head and started removing th arrows that pireced him and roled them in a clothe.she collected his helmet and his sword and all his belongings. From far off she could see his horse returning,when Theodens horse had reached her she Laid Theodens body across it's back. Famrill could not help but weep for the loss of her good friend. She kept fingering the dagger he gave her. it was now late morning when she returned."much sorrow befalls us today my friends, for Theoden the great has gone to meet the kings of old.what shall we do with his body?" she said as she held tears back from her grey splintered eye's.


Angoreth fingered her neckless"wait", she walked over to thenedor."Is there not a jewel of master Healing from your city." she said as she removed her neckless, and held it up in hope it would be the jewel.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at Anagoreth and rubs his eyes. "So it is true. May he rest in peace. Come, the Archives are not that far away. Rise fellowship of the Seekers!" Jesse says as the rest of the group gets up from their slumber. Once all are up, Jesse and the Company begin riding south. The sun soon is up and the remainder of his company finally arrive at the Archives. The beautiful white building is shinning in the sunlight. Birds are flying freely and Elves, Dwarves, and Men are walking around the giant complex. Jesse rides his horse forward and his Eagle lands on his right arm. He then turns to the rest of the Fellowship of the Seekers.

"This is the Archives. They are famous for keeping record of every known man, dwarf, elf, wizard, orc, goblin, and hobbit in all of Middle Earth. Those who wish to come in with me may do so. This complex is a very big one and it is easy to get lost. I must go to the fifteenth floor and there it is where I shall find information on what the evil of my dreams means and it is there that I will find the names of my birthparents. Caitlin, I wish for you to accompany me inside. This is going to be a good experience for you.

"For millions of years, the Archives have kept records of all the names of every living creature in middle earth. From Saruman to Gandalf, from Bilbo Baggins to his nephew Frodo. All creature's are recorded here. No living being isn't recorded. History is also recorded here. On floors one through five, the history of Middle Earth is kept. On floors five through fifteen, a massive library is located. The Archives have thirty floors. From floor fifteen to floor thirty, a training center exists for gifted individuals who can memorize information quickly. Let us go inside," Jesse explains as he rides his horse up to a pole. He jumps off and ties the reins around the pole. His Eagle is still on his right arm.....*

[Theoden_king]

Thendor rode by Angoreth he wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and said "I fear no mere jewel could help Theoden anymore" they stopped dead outside the Archives

"The country of Rohan shall have a new king, Eomer son of Eomund, but he is young and I hope the passing of his uncle will not be too hard on the lad"

Then suddenly thenedor laughed but it wasn't a pleasant sound, it was coarse and dry "He was not my king and yet I weep for he was a dear friend, I should have been by his side and fallen with him yet he bade me to stay with this company in his absence so I must stay to the very end of this journey"

[Jesse]

*Jesse looked at Thendor and smiled. He walked up to him.

"Welcome Thendor to the Fellowship of the Seekers. Do you wish to accompany me into the Archives? You may find some useful information there," Jesse said as he extended his right hand. The Knight waited for Thendor to shake it.*

[Frodorocks]

OOC:
Sorry I wasn't here guys, I was gone for the weekend.:)
IC: *Lhunsoroniel walked over to Thendor and gave him a hug.* "I am sorry for your loss."

[Angoreth]

"My friend we are all sorry for this great of a loss"she said as she bow'd her head.

[Mablung]

Lolik and Sarin were both used to the death of companions and did not let it bother them. They kept watch for Uruks or normal Orcs not at all phased.

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor took Jesse hand and then embraced him with a hug "if you would allow it, I wil follow you to the archives, who else will comwe inside? some must stay out on guard though"

[Frodorocks]

"I will go where ever you think it would be best, Jesse."

[Jesse]

*Jesse, Caitlin and Theondor (Hope I spelled that right, if not, I'm sorry) walk up the golden steps of the Archives. Upon entering, they are shocked to see a giant statue of Gandalf the White. An inscription reads It was here, on July 3, 1450, that Gandalf the White founded the Archives. Two years after the defeat of the dark lord Sauron.

"May I help you gentlemen?" a voice asked. A woman appeared wearing a white garment and had golden blonde hair. She smiled at the trio.

"Yes. I am Jesse, this is Caitlin, and Theondor. We are looking for information on my parents. They were knights and left me on the streets to die. I wish to know their names, occupation, and whether or not they are still alive. My last name is Hegosophangtore. Where in this wonderful building might I find that name?" Jesse explained as he pointed to his companions. The woman opened up a book and went to the H section.

"You are in luck sir Jesse. We have a file of the family of Hegosophangtore. If you would kindly follow me, for I will direct you. It's easy to get lost in this place. My name is Maria," Maria said as she led the trio to the giant steps. Jesse, Caitlin, and Theondor began walking up the giant gold staircase. They saw Elves, Men, Hobbits, and some dwarves.

"When we arrive at our destination, be on your guard. I sense all is not well here. This used to be a place of good and knowledge. I saw a dark cloud over this place when we arrived. Darker than a storm cloud," Jesse told them.*

[Angoreth]

"I love standing gaurd...when Uruk-hie are on my time but I see none and I am quite bored"she said as she got of her horse and started playing with her sword.

[Jesse]

*Jesse kneels down and falls face forward and suddenly hits the floor with a lound thump. Maria, Caitlin, and Theondor all look at him and run to his aide. Suddenly, Jesse is transported to another realm. Before him stands a unknown creature. It draws it's sword and speaks these words:

"Eiaock Diedkot Neogib Bada'is!" and then Jesse is transported back to the Archives. He stands up all shaky. Jesse looks like he saw a ghost.....*

[Mablung]

Sarin paced back and forth looking at the archives itching to enter them."I doubt we need to be here anyway. This place seems secure enough."

Lolik sighed and pulled his hood up which had been covering his face as he rested against the wall. "No but it is our duty anyway." He then turned to Famrill and Angoreth. "So what is it we are actually doing? Somone neglected to explain that to us."

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor helps Jesse over to a seat and sits him down "Tell us what you saw" he said with a grim look on his face, then more to himself than anyone he said "we should hurry out of these Archives, I don't feel it is a safe place especially now"

[Jesse]

*Jesse is still shaking and can barely speak.

"I saw...an unknown creature. It raised it's sword and spoke in the ancient language of Mordor, which I will not speak here. I translated it and it said "I am coming. Darkness is coming. Soon, I will rule over all living beings,". Jesse said as he was stuttering to get the words out...*

[Theoden_king]

"Alright stay here, go with Maria and Caitlin to find out about your parents, I will inform the others about this, everything will be fine" but as he said this a grave look came across his face. Thenedor ran outside and gave the others a brief description of what happened and what Jesse had told him.
"If any of you wish to go inside and speak to Jesse you may and I will keep guard out here, anyone whishing to stay with me may do so also"

[Angoreth]

"I need not go, for I have seen his vision"said Famrill."you may go angoreth if you wish"hse said turning to her sister.

Angoreth nodded, and with that left the rest of the company to see about jesse.

[Frodorocks]

"What do you think it means Jesse? Is another darkness coming to Middle Earth? Or do you think it foretells something in your future? Are you okay? We must be out of here soon, I feel it, so make haste." Caitlin said worriedly.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks worriedly at Caitlin. He does something she doesn't expect. He hugs her, crying. Realizing what he is doing, he whispers to Caitlin that all he needs right now is support and friends. Then he releases, ending the hug and looks to the Thenedor and the rest of his group. Maria looks at him worriedly. Jesse then says:

"Yes. Darkness is coming to Middle Earth. A Darkness greater than that of Sauron. I believe an ancient evil has been awakened that has been asleep for thousands of years. We must make haste! Maria, how far away is the record of my family?" Maria motions to a door on the left and the group walks inside. Once inside, there are shelves upon shelves of books. Another Archivest walks past them smiling. Maria then stops in front of the H section.

"Here we are. Ah yes, Jesse, I see you were born on March 4. Your parent's names are Frenderick and Bonita Hegosophangtore. Both were knights. Which is rare, because most women are not allowed to become knights. They lived in a kingdom called...Gohan. Strange, there is no such known kingdom in our archives. Oh well. I'm sure it exists. There is so much not recorded yet in our Archives." Maria said. Then I began crying. I bent down on my knees and looked up towards the sky.

"Why? Why are my parents dead? What did I do to deserve this?" I yell. I then put my head down and sob quietly. [I[They left me for dead, Frenderick and Bonita. Why were they so afraid to raise me as their own child?, I think to myself.[/I]

"I am sorry Jesse, but your birthparents are dead. They died during the battle of Mordor, fighting the dark lord Sauron. I am sure they did not leave you lying in the cold and rainy streets for nothing. They must've had a reason. Is there anything else you would like to know?" Maria asks as she gently touches Jesse's back. I look up to her and then I stood up.

"What lurked in Mordor before Sauroun?" I ask her. She lookes in the M section of the shelf and brings out a big portfolio. Maria opens it and flips some pages in a booklet.

"There was a dark wizard named Mig'euld. A rival of Sauron, he fought the dark lord for control of Middle Earth. He was banished to the unknown realms. Never to return. Why do you ask this?" Maria asks. I whipe the tears from my eyes and look out the gigantic windows of the Archives. The sun is now setting.

"I was just curious. Evil is coming" I reply to the rest of my fellowship...*

[Theoden_king]

"It seems that the original quest of this fellowship has been accomplished" Said Thenedor "and in such a short amount of time"
He then spoke loudly to the rest of the group "However, if what Jesse says is true, we now have a new quest laid before our feet, this new darkness must be stopped. None of you are forced to follow through with this task, anyone may turn aside when they please but I for one will see this task done untill the end, one way or another"

[Frodorocks]

*Caitlin looked at Jesse with a worried expression, but didn't know what to say. She had been a wanderer all of her life, and didn't know about her past as well. But unlike Jesse, it didn't matter to her, the forest had been her family, so she never pursued the issue.* "I too will go with you, Jesse and Thenedor, and help to defeat the dark wizard. I said in the beggining, 'No matter how hard the quest may be, and no matter how many enemies we encounter, I will never stray' and I will hold to that."

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at Caitlin and smiles. My eyes are saying "Thank you" to her. I look to Thenedor and to Caitlin. We begin our journey towards the doors of the Archives. I say goodbye to Maria. Within a few minutes, we are outside of the huge Archives. The sky smells of ash and looks like fire. A man runs to me and yells:

"Whatever that thing is, I want to be far away from it. It seems to be heading toward us! It's like it knows where to go. If you're wise, you'll leave too! Whatever it is, it'll be here within two hours. The neighboring towns have been reporting attacks by Orcs. Run!" the man says as disappears from view. I look up at the sky and it looks like a burning volcano. Where the ash is coming from I cannot guess. Unless a volcano erupted. However the sky looking blood red and like fire is unusual.

"Anagoreth, Thenedor, Caitlin, I fear the sky is being controlled by the dark wizard. He is coming. HERE. He will soon be here. My guess is it'll take two hours for him to arrive, which gives us time to prepare. Let us set up camp and rest. Caitlin and I will keep watch. Everyone else, sleep." Jesse orders the rest of his fellowship. I look up at the sky again and it turns bright green. The Dark Lord is indeed controlling the weather. Strange, I didn't know a wizard could do that....*

[Angoreth]

Angoreth walked up to jesse"as you know jesse elvs need not sleep when war is upon them. You rest I shall keep watch then Famrill."she said as she gathered all the weapons she could to prepair herself."you are the leader you need your rest it is for the better of us all if you do"she said as she put a hand on his arm."You have been used s the messanger of this warning and that takes most of your streangth, regain it"she said fixing her eye's on the sky" I shall watch this warning and tell you if the winds change"she said as she mounted her horse.

Famrill walked past jesse"you need not worry, we were there for the first darkness, we shall b here for the second one, if it gets that far" she said with a smile, as she walked over to Angoreth.

Famrill whispered to Angoreth"what do you see sister?" she said looking at the sky.

"with fire comes smoke and with smoke rain and rain will become a flood"she said as she looked downat the earth"the earth scrams battle and the air screams death, I am in the middle of their screams"she said as she fixed her eyes on the sky again"get your herbs ready, many wounds will need it's tending."she said as Famrill ran to get her herbs and weapons.

Angoreth looked at the sky with a sad exspretion as she sighed"not again"she said as she listened to the air.

[Mablung]

Sarin laughed. "Dark Wizard, oh Maegelen is gonna be sorry he missed this one."

Lolik began to sharpen his sword. "Yeah why is we always face something really bad when he sends us in his place?"

"No idea though Im not taking anymore of his assignments."

"Yes we will we're both gullible anyway Wizards aren't too bad as long as you have them concentrate on someone else."

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor laid down to sleep but after an hour he arose and turned to Angoreth "I cannot sleep" he said as he sat next to her "were you really there at the first darkness?" he asked with curiosity "I have heard many songs to do with that story, but I have never sat down or travelled with anyone who saw that evil"

There was a slinece as they both stared at the sky, Thenedor moved impatiently "I have a new respect for the elves in this company" he said smiling "and I feel safer knowing that such fne warriors will fight along side me"

[Jesse]

*Jesse sleeps, but not peacefully. He has a dream and it isn't a pleasant one. The dark wizard just stabbed him with his sword. The dream then turns to his companions who look at him with sad faces. The whole of Middle Earth is controlled by the Dark Lord. His companions are in chains and are treated like slaves. Jesse then wakes up with sweat on his face....*

[Angoreth]

" I will tell you, but it will not ease the disturbence"she said as she took her gaze off the sky and looked at thenedor."The sky's were grey, and the air seemed stiff as though it would not move.You could feel something searching in the air for a weekness and it seemed it would allways find it and torment you with it."she said looking at the sky."you could feel the break of war as each minut passed, and when it broke we were ready, you could watch as the orc's and goblins got closer and closer, your heart almost skips a beat.The earth feels like thunder.we waged war for what seemed forever, then silence broke every one stopped fighting the orcs ang goblins cleared way for there leader souron to pass to the front, tall he was then most men, but yet all the more full of cruelty and malice. When Isledur cut the ring of power a light unknown passed through the crowd of orcs elvs and men.I watched as Elrond lead iseldur away into the depths of mount doom, then return after an hour it seemed.Needless to say we won the battle" she said takeing a deep breath,"but yet again,maybe not"she sid looking doubtfuly at the sky.She turned once again to thenedor,"one things for sure, if there is to be a battle, it shall be a great battle"she said as she started sharpening her sword.


Famrill rode past the two sitting on the ground and rode over to jesse"I feel a disturbence in the air my friend, what ever it is thats comeing is not far off"she said looking over her shoulder at the clouds gathering."you think of what we shall do, I shall go stand watch again."she then rode back.


"famrill what do you see?"asked angoreth,"I see many things"she said with a sigh,"but none shall take place...not yet."she said as she rod back to stand watch.

[Mablung]

Sarin looked over at Thenedor still not bothered by the impending evil. "If you like those stories ask Maeg about some of his when you get back there. The Last Alliance is a good one but he was at the Fall of Gondolin and the war in the Eriador. Those are fine ones as well."

"Yeah just make sure your in for a long haul.

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor smiled at Sarin, "I will"

he turned to Angoreth and said "there is strength left in the world of men and not all are as easily corrupted by power as Isildur was" he nodded over to the company "There are men over there who would turn down such power for a better world, men who are strong, proud and battle experienced. I am young though and I do not know what strength lies within me, but I am sure I will be tested before the end" he said as he looked towards the darkening horizon

[Jesse]

*Jesse looked at Theonodor and smiled.

"I am ready for the great evil about to approach us. My powers may be enough to stop the Dark Wizard. However I fear we may not hold out. Perhaps it is best if we avoid the confrontation all together?"*

[Theoden_king]

"If we ignore it more will die, I would have myself slain so that others may live. I have a son in Gondor Jesse, I would not leave this evil to take him" Thenedor turned his atention back to the sky, "Even if we cannot fight this wizard there must be another way to bring him down? I am prepared to do anything"

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at Thenedor and frowns. He turns to his companions.

"I am afraid that the only way for the Dark Wizard to be destroyed is for the White Council to intervene. Mig'euld's magic is greater than that of Gandalf the White, yet less powerful than that of Sauron. If he can control the weather, he is indeed powerful. I strongly suggest that we split up. Three of you will come with me to Gondor. The other three can go and try to get the White Council to intervene. The War that is being fought over this great Middle Earth is of his doing. The Council must know of the danger! They must help us! It is our only hope," Jesse says. Suddenly, there is a massive army of Orcs heading towards the Archives and the Fellowship of the Seekers.

"He's here! Make haste! We must either fight or split up! If we split up, we will meet again in Minas Tirith. What is your decision? Hurry and make it for the Orcs are almost on us!"*

[Mablung]

Lolik looked up. "I will come to Gondor. I am no ones messenger."

Sarin shook his head. "Calm down Lolik, anyway I will travel to the White Council I always wanted to see it."

[Frodorocks]

OOC: I swear I posted right after Jesse's "Bad Weather":( Did a mod delete it?
IC: I will stick with the company. I said in the start that I'd stick with this to the very end, and I meant it.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at Sarin. He smiles.

"If you wish to go see the White Council, you can be the group leader. We are going to split up to throw the Dark Wizard off track. We will meet at the Golden Phoenix Hotel in Minas Tirith. Good luck. Please, when you get there, tell the Council of our adventure so far and of my dreams and of the new evil. Thank you, my friend." Then I turn to Caitlin. "Caitlin, do you wish to stay with me to go onto Minas Tirith or do you wish to see the White Council?"*

[Frodorocks]

I think I'll stay with you and go to Minas Tirith.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at his friend and nods his head.*

OOC: Seems we're alone here Caitlin.

*"Caitlin, I'm glad you came along. I've learned much from you. Even though I still have much to learn. One thing I learned from you is loyalty. You stand by your friends. That is a trait not common in this great big world. We need more of you so people can also be kind and true to their friends! Thanks for coming along Caitlin. You were the one who I thought of first when I decided to come on this journey. You ARE my best friend."* (I meant that in OOC too Caitlin. You really are my best friend. ;) :)

[Frodorocks]

Wow, thanks Jesse!:) (IC and OOC)
Oh well, so what if we're alone. Frodo and Sam made it, and so can we.:)

[Mablung]

Lolik put his arm around the two and hung between them. "Sorry to break it up but as I said I am no messenger Minas Tirith is my home and I'm coming this way as well. Sarin is the one going the other way."

Sarin sighed thinking Lolik was acting a bit childish hanging on them like that and stood him up. "Don't worry about our side of the quest the White Council shall come shortly."

[Jesse]

You're welcome Caitlin (IC & OOC).

*"I agree that Frodo and Sam made it out alone. Thenedor can catch up to us when we arrive at Minas Tirith. I have left a note in the talons of my Eagle Eigo. She will wait for the others." Jesse says as he climbs on his horse.

"Do you wish to ride with me or walk beside my horse?" he kindly asks her. He smiles at her and looks up at the Orcs slowly approaching. "This fellowship has offically split up for the time being. Eigo, be sure to tell Anagoreth where we went to. Elves know animal tongue," Jesse says. Eigo just responds with a "Haw, Haw!" "Caitlin, we must go together now to Minas Tirith. I would like for you to ride behind me, but if that is uncomfortable for you, you can walk next to my horse. I won't go too fast."*

[Frodorocks]

"No, that's fine, I'll ride with you.:) " Caitlin said as she saw where Jesse was looking and unsheathed Sting.

[Jesse]

*Jesse extends his hand and Caitlin's hand grabs his and he helps pull her up onto the horse. I smile at her and suddenly realize how beautiful she is. I shake my head and whisper "go" to the horse. He begins walking and slowly he gains speed. Soon we are going very fast on the horse and the Orcs are chasing after us.

"Gigso-Lietod-Heisguo!" I shout and suddenly the ground shakes and a pillar rises then falls and blocks the road behind us. The Orcs, not knowing what to do, scream and try to cut the rock with their axes. Soon the whole Archives is out of site and Caitlin and I are riding alone on a trail. It is in a wooded area and the sky is still blood red. Now all we can hear is the beating of our hearts and the sounds of the horse and our breath's.

"Caitlin...I don't know how to say this...but over the past few days, I've gotten some strange feelings for you. It isn't friendship I'm feeling for you now. Please do not think I'm weird or anything..." I say to her. Good going Jesse, great way to say how you feel!

[Jesse]

OOC: Caitlin, my RP character feels something for your RP character. In real life, we're just friends okay? I just thought I'd clear that up. Please respond.....I'm lonely. :(

[Mablung]

Lolik watched Jesse and Caitlin take off without him. "Well I'm still going home. They shouldn't be too hard to track. Take care of your group Sarin." Lolik got on his horse and took off after them not in any particular hurry to gain on them.

[Frodorocks]

OOC: Okay.:) I had to get offline for awhile to go home, have dinner, and watch Farscape etc.
IC: *Caitlin looked at Jesse and burst out crying. (OOC:People seem to be doing that a lot around here lately.:D ) "I guess I should tell you some more about my past." she said. "Once I was not a wanderer. I lived in Lothlorien, the beautiful Golden Wood. Even then people talked about my strong closeness to nature and the fact that I knew little about my past. But there was one who understood me. We loved each other with all of our hearts, and we spent many years together in happiness. But one day, when he was on the borders of Lorien, a band of Uruk-Hai that were passing by killed him. I loved him so much, we had pledged our hearts and souls to each other. When I heard about his death, I went half crazy. I left Lothlorien, and wandered far and wide until I came to Mirkwood. There I spent many years, living in communion with the forest and burying my grief. I joined this quest only a couple of years after I had decided that I was sane enough to go back out into the world. I hope you understand that I could never feel the same way about any other." she said, her face wrenched in anguish long covered up.

[Angoreth]

" I shall go to the white Council"said angoreth Looking at her mithril wound bow"Famrill shall go to Minas Tirith"she said looking at her sister who was still on her horse."who all is going to the white coucil with me?, for we must leave now."she said a she went and mounted her mustang.

[Mablung]

Sarin looked up at Angoreth. "Everyone else will come with us to the White Council since Jesse only asked for 3 people to follow him. And those three have already been chosen. You should also start riding Famrill to catch up with Lolik then catch the other two together."

[Theoden_king]

"It seems our fellowship has broken already, I will go to the white council but after that I will be pleased to reach Gondor and be home, even if it is not safe, I want to see my hometown again before the end"

[Angoreth]

Famrill mounted her horse"it should not be hard to follow the three I have a fast horse"she said as she rode to her sister and clasped rist's"ride well"she said waiting for the replie.

"Ride fast"Said Angoreth as she rode with the rest of the fellowship to seek the white council."how long do you think it shall take us to reach the white coucil?"said Angoreth as she turned to sarin.



OOC: are we going to the thread of the white council? and if we are who will post that we need them?

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at Caitlin and nods his head. They continue riding through the dark forest and for a long time there is silence. Nothing is heard but the wind blowing through the trees. Jesse begins thinking of a time when he was in love with another as well. He then looks back at Caitlin:

"There once was a time when I too was in love with another. We were very close friends and became closer. However it was not meant to be. She set me free, according to her, by leaving me. Telling me she wasn't the one for me. I was heartbroken for months. Finally, after three months, I decided being heartbroken isn't going to solve my problems. My longing for a companion, someone I can lean on and trust. I understand how your companion died in battle. He probably did it to save you and others. He died heroically, and he has no unfinished business. He knows now that you will always love him and that was probably his thought when he was killed. It'd be mine.
"I've laughed at death so many times it isn't even funny. I've been from one end of Middle Earth to the other. I've seen many strange things Caitlin, but one thing that I know is this: There are too many people, whether it'd be dwarf, elf, hobbit, man, etc. that are still in pain after their loved ones have died. My parents died. I found that after learning about their deaths, I became stronger. Hope still exists. Death brings new life to those who have died. I believe we all go to some higher place after our death. You will see him again someday. Until then, I do not believe he wants you to grieve over him for all your life. In fact, I am sure of it. My mother once told me that if she were to die, that I shouldn't grieve over her and ruin my life. I should move on and await the day when I would be with her again.
"Fighting Uruk-Hai is not easy. I know, for I have done it. I got stabbed by a Morgul blade and had to ride on my horse alone to Rivendell. Can you imagine how hard that must be? Knowing that Death could come upon you any minute? Caitlin, the Dark Wizard is full of hidden surprises. What he wants more than anything is to make the peoples of Middle Earth be in pain. Caitlin, tell me...is there something about this guy that I don't have? I'm not trying to hurt your feelings in ANY way. I just would like to know why we couldn't be companions. My mother also once told me that someday, when I were to go looking for information about her, that I'd meet the love of my life. When I first heard this I laughed. Me, a loner, would find the love of my life when I went to look for information on my birthparents? It was absurd! Unheard of! Caitlin, it isn't easy for me to say this but............I love you. Not just for who you are, but I see what you can become.
"In my opinion, that is what love should be about. Not about good looks, intelligence, kindness or anything like that. It should be about who the person is and what the person can become. Caitlin, will you at least give us a chance? I don't want to be rejected again. So many times in my life have I been rejected. It hurts so much just thinking about it." I conclude after a long speech.*

[Jesse]

OOC: My guess is we will have to either go to the White Council board or PM the head of the council. I tried to post there once and got my butt kicked hard for it. :(

[Mablung]

ooc: There is no White Council anymore one of us will just have to post as Gandalf or a wizard or whatever we're just going to have to keep this in the guild with the people already here.

[Frodorocks]

OOC: all right, any volunteers?
IC: Caitlin just looked at him sadly. Jesse was her friend, she didn't want to hurt him. But how could she not? As soon as this was over and the evil was defeated, maybe she would go to Elvenhome and be with her love for all eternity. She didn't know what to say. The only things she could think of were hurtful. What does he have that Jesse does not? she thought to herself. Only my heart... tearfully, she gripped her sword, determined that she would win this battle for her beloved Leto, and for everyone else that had ever been killed or seperated from loved ones because of evil.

[Angoreth]

OOc: i shall have a go at it, if I am allowed. I am pretty good at doing serious roles such as gandalf the grey. does any one mind me doing the part?

[Jesse]

OOC: Not at all Anagoreth. Perhaps you would like to be Gandalf the White, as he is more powerful?

*Jesse looks at Caitlin with a frown. They continue riding in the deep, dark forest. Again he had been rejected. No more would he love another. After this quest, he would go off into Mirkwood and become a wizard there. Living in harmony with the forest. He would be known as Jesse the Green, for he would be able to speak to animals and the trees. Jesse would disappear from all knowledge and have his name erased from the Archives. Jesse, knight of Middle Earth, had been rejected. Once again he had expressed his feelings for another and was turned down.
Never again will he fall in love. Love hurts, literally. It's a dangerous business, falling in love. Once you step outside your comfort zone and express your feelings to another, they maybe rejected or accepted. If they are rejected, then you best get the hell out of there. No sense in waisting time around someone who doesn't feel the same way about you as you feel about them, Jesse thought to himself. Jesse, a Mithril Knight, would cease to exist. His heartbreak will have gotten the best of him, despite his mother's advice. Despite his prayers, hopes, and dreams.*

OOC: I only say the swear word hell. Other than that, I don't swear much. Plus I only swear when I'm not around my family (e.g. when I'm online, at school, or elsewhere. I just got used to all the word. It's said all the time in school, so why not use it? Why do I have to be the different one? :confused: I'm tired of being different. I want to fit in with the other kids by saying hell.

[Angoreth]

OOC:o.k. I shall be Gandalf the white, and jesse I know how it is to be different, you need not try to fit in with the fall of this world, your job is to stand out and make an impression on the none-christian, when they see you are sticking with not saying the word"hell"then they might get convenced they don't need to say it, same thing with drug's and alcohol, and other such thing's. My friend I know it is hard but keep with it and you will find a greater reward in the end. Oh, and I guess i shall do two post one for angoreth and famrill and one for gandalf to seperate them neatly.

[Frodorocks]

OOC:Good for you Angoreth, I'm glad that you volunteered. I'm not good at this serious stuff.:D
IC: Please understand Jesse! I will alway care about you and love you like a brother. But I can never feel about you the way I feel about him. :(

[Theoden_king]

OOC: Anyway, maybe we should get on with the story now.

IC: "Sarin, I feel we should press on hard tonight to cover as much distance as possible before we rest, and it will be easier to travel faster now that our group has fewer people"
Thenedor got o his horse and waited for the others to head off

[Jesse]

IC: *"I know Caitlin. Thank you for just being a friend. I really appreciate it. I still feel that way about you and I guess I always will. It's not your fault, it's mine. You already love someone else. I didn't see it at first. Please, forgive me for bringing this situation upon you. I won't mention it again. However I do think after this quest I'll go to Mirkwood and becomea Wizard. Being a Mithril Knight is good, but I need to learn magic to stop other dark wizards who might try and conquer Middle Earth.
"Caitlin, you are like an Angel coming into my dark world. When I met you, something told me that I would be forever changed. I have. What I've learned is that friendship is just as important as love. I will ALWAYS love you even if you don't return that love. Perhaps it's best that way. Who are we to know? One does not know what happens the next day. That is why we must focus on the present. Whoever is watching over us knows my feelings, prayers, and dreams about this issue. Thank you for just being a friend." Jesse says as he gently kisses Caitlin on the lips and then turns back to looking forward. "It is a custom of my people to kiss the lips of friends. It wasn't a romantic kiss or anything. Please don't feel offended," he expalins. Caitlin and Jesse continue riding until they see the beloved city of Minas Tirith. Suddenly, the big town is all they see.
"Behold, Minas Tirith! We shall rest peacefully here tonight. I will tell the mayor or whoever is in charge about this new threat. I will also pay for your room and meals. It's the least I can do. Tomorrow we may see Gandalf the White. I am going to send him a letter asking his presence and council." Jesse says to Caitlin with a smile. They enter the city and come to a hotel. Jesse parks his horse and jumps off. The knight quickly takes out a piece of paper and writes a short note and puts it in the talons of Eigo. "Wemaud-Wids!" "Fly fast good friend!" he says to his Eagle. The bird takes off and heads off into the sunset. Jesse then turns to Caitlin offers his hand to help Caitlin get off. Eigo flys overhead.*

[Jesse]

Anagoreth,
YOU HAVE NO idea what I go through everyday. I'm Autistic, am a teenager, and am a Christian. All 3 of those problems give me double-double toil and trouble. I HATE being different!! :mad: I know I'm supposed to be the different one, but I get made fun of for being different and I can't take it anymore! So, I've decided to take charge and start using the word "hell". I don't say the F***, B***, or anything like that though. Just...Hell.

[Angoreth]

IOOC: I am Also a christian and a christian, I am always around people who smoke pot and other such drugs( not that I want to, but some how I find myself in that position) but I am constantly nagged about not smoking pot and not smoking weed, my friends will join in,say no one will know, the smell will be gone befor you go home. don't you think it's is a bit hard for me as well. I will not start killing brian cell's to give up my boundry's, you do what ever you want, take charg take controle, but just remember, it starts with HELL and end's in pain, I know becaus my friend sytarted ut cuseing then got around people like that then startd doing drug's ( not saying you will) then started haveing problem's. becaus he was drunk and high he cometed suacide,So yes I know what you go through,beleaive me, and I walk with the pain of my cousin's death every day and it does not make it better. Any thing else just pm, becaus we are taking up way to much room with,OOC. sorry every one, please forgive me. I do not wanna argue with you jesse, but this descussuion is serious and other people do not need to be bother with our problems. Once again sorry every one.
And thanx forodo rock's

IC: "I also agree, there is much to be done befor this darkness attacke's"se said as she tuned to Theoden and Sarin." This darkness is much quietier then the first,"she said as she looked at the sky begining to dim." I know not what it is or who, but it is of much cruelty and malice"she said as she lowered her gaze and patter her horse for it to could feel a disturbence in the air.



Angoreth finally cought up with Lolik who was on his feet stodying the ground"How far ahead of us do you think they are"she asked him as she looked ahead.

[Theoden_king]

"Then we ride swiftly" said Thenedor and he whispered some words to his horse who began a fast pace toward the white council, suddenly the horse came to a stop and Thenedor was thrown to the road, as he looked up he stood at the feet of an Uruk-hai. He drew himself up quickly and slew the beast before it knew what to do, Thenedor turned and ran back to Angoreth and Sarin
"An Uruk scout" he cried "I fear we are being watched"

[Frodorocks]

"I wish you luck in becoming a wizard Jesse." Caitlin replied. "Do you think we should notify our companions of where we are? We left them pretty far behind us."

[Jesse]

*Jesse looked at his companion, Caitlin and smiled. For the first time in his life, he realized he found his true sense of belonging. He had something worth living for. This brought tears to his face.

"Thank you Caitlin for wishing me good luck. Eigo will find them and give them the letter I enclosed under his right wing. No need to worry. We are staying in rooms 3 and 4 tonight." Jesse says as he walks into the hotel. He grabs the keys to their rooms and waits for Caitlin to join him. Jesse definately needs the sleep...*

[Angoreth]

"then we must ride quickly if we are get to the white council in time" she said looking into the wood's" not many Urik-hia are far off,come" she said as theoden got back on his horse and with that, the small group of the fellowship rode hard and fast.

[Theoden_king]

After riding hard for many hours Thenedor drew his horse to a halt "we can ride no furthur tonight" he said to his companions, let us rest for now, but we better keep a watch, let me sleep for a few hours then wake me for my watch" before he finished talking he began to drift into a troubling sleep

[Jesse]

*Jesse looked at Caitlin strangely. Anger began to engulf him. They were at the door to Caitlin's room. As I struggled to hold my anger, I couldn't deny that I was angry.
"Caitlin, I have decided that after this quest, I will NOT become a wizard, but instead join the Dark Legion. I'm tired of being rejected when I confess my love for another. Tired of not receiving the same feelings. No one, not even you I fear can stop me from joining this league. It was bound to happen. My parents are dead, and you don't love me, which just builds up the anger. It isn't your fault, it's mine. After this quest, I'll join the Dark Legion and be evil. It is too much to bear. I hope you understand. I still will always love you, but it won't be enough to keep me from turning to the dark side. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything," I say as I begin sobbing. I then place a kiss on Caitlin's lips and touch her hand and head to my room. Indeed, nothing can stop me from turning to the dark side. It is...unavoidable.*

[Angoreth]

Angoreth, got of her horse and sat on the ground" I shall keep first watch" she said as she gave her horse sme more lembas." something troubles the air? something troubles my soul? but what I do not know" she said as she pulled out her sword and began to sharpen it.

[Frodorocks]

OOC:I'm strongly reminded of Star Wars.:D
IC: Jesse, look, get a hold of yourself! Do you realise what you're saying? Your parents and I were proud of you for deciding to become a Wizard. Do you think it would make them proud, becoming the very evil that you are trying to defeat, the very evil that killed them? If you are going to join the Dark Legions, then why don't you do so now? *Caitlin hugged him. "I'm sorry for being so harsh."

[Jesse]

*I realize Caitlin is hugging me and I smile. I let out a sigh. A thought comes to my head....she stopped me to hug me!

"I guess what I said was a bit stupid. You're right Caitlin. Hope still remains. Never again will I say such blasphemy. Please forgive me. I guess I was just angry. Why, I don't know. I guess it's because I feel all hope is gone. When I'm with you though, I realize that there is STILL hope. When I'm alone, I don't feel there is any. Apology accepted Caitlin," Jesse says as I hug her back. My sobs turn to tears of joy. Suddenly, I look to my left and sees a woman. She is all white and glowing. Her face is very beautiful.

"Jesse, my son, I am proud of you. I apologize for leaving you on the streets, but we couldn't afford to take care of you. However I've noticed something...Caitlin and you share a special bond. Something good will happen between you two soon. I want you to know that you are our son, whom we love with all our hearts. Plus I see your heart loves someone too. I give you my blessings, my son." the woman says as she kisses Jesse's forehead. The woman then disappears, leaving Caitlin and I alone in the hallway. Caitlin smiles, for she saw what I saw. My mother's ghost, came to us!

"Caitlin! Caitlin! We saw her....my mom!" I scream as I release the hug and jump up and down like a child who just learned how to ride a horse. I then turn to face Caitlin and smile at her lovingly. For the first time in my life, I feel love and hope. I hug Caitlin again and am smiling with joy.*

[Theoden_king]

After several hours sleep Thenedor was woken by Angoreth shaking him he looked around sleepily, the night was dark and he thought it must have been very late or very early.
"What time is it?" he asked as he wiped the sleep from his eyes, then he realised where he was
"Have you seen anything tonight?" he asked Angoreth

[Jesse]

*I look at Caitlin and smile. "Caitlin, I'm sorry for rushing you. I just want you to know I'm here for you and if you ever need to cry about the loss of your boyfriend, I'm here. Now I realize you need time. Forgive me for rushing you into a relationship you weren't ready for. It's my fault. I'm sorry." I say as I start to cry. Tears flow freely from my eyes. Memories of past love interests come back to me and then explode in my mind. "I'm sorry for everything. For all of this." I cry as I have my face leaning on her right shoulder. "Caitlin, once again I have upset someone I love. I know you don't feel the same way about me as I do you and maybe you never will. However, it is my prayer that you do someday. Until then, I'm sorry.
"When I first met you, I knew it was love at first sight. I tried to deny it, tried to hide it. Eventually the feelings became too much for me to bear. I had to tell you, for I couldn't keep it hidden any longer. There's a song I've heard called "She's My Kind of Rain". I would like to sing it to you and it is dedicated to you. Perhaps you've heard of it." I say as I take out my guitar and begin singing these words:*

OOC: This is an actual song by Tim Mcgraw, and I dedicate it to your RP character.


*She's my kind of rain
Like love in a drunken sky
She's confetti falling
Down all night

She sits quietly there
Black water in a jar
Says, Baby why are you
Trembling like you are

So I wait
And I try
I confess like a child

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's the sun set shadows
She's like Rembrandt's light
She's the history that's made at night
She's my lost companion
She's my dreaming tree
Together in this brief eternity
Summer days, winter snows
She's all things to behold

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

So I wait
And I try
I confess all my crimes

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's my kind of rain
Like love from a drunken sky
Confetti falling down all night
She's my kind of rain

She's my kind of rain
Oh, rain on me
She's my kind of rain.

"Caitlin, this song reminds me of you so much. Please accept my apology and remember I'll always love you and that I'm here for you if you need support or a shoulder to lean on.*

[Angoreth]

"I have seen nothing, but a bad feeling pulls at me" she said s she walked over and gave her horse some water, then walked back to where she was keeping watch." you may go back to sleep if you wish? I will not be able to sleep, to many thoughts hount me" she said as she looked at the lueming sky.

[Jesse]

*Eigo, Jesse's Eagle spots Anagoreth and fly's towards her. He lands on the ground and has a note in his beak. Anagoreth takes it out and it reads:


Dear Anagoreth,
Caitlin and I are in Minas Tirith. We are staying in the hotel known as the Great Frandi Hotel. Our rooms are rooms 45 and 46. Please come as quickly as possible. It isn't wise to sleep outdoors with the Orcs patrolling the region. We were chased right up to the gates of the city by the brutes. Be cautious and stealthy. Good luck and we hope to see you within a few days.

Sincerely,
Jesse

Eigo stands on the earth waiting for Anagoreth to write a response so he can fly it back to his master.*

[Angoreth]

Famrill take out her pen and write's:


Thank you, I am riding with Lolik we shall be there soon. Hope you both sleep with peace.
Angoreth silver Leaf. She finishes writing and gives the letter to the bird, she watched for a few minuts as the bird flew off.

Come Lolik, they are in Minas Tirith already, they are staying at the Great fradi hotel.And carful there are many orc's out." she said as she signed for her horse to ride with speed.

[Jesse]

*Jesse, the Mithril Knight and Caitlin are alone in the hallway. Suddenly, a great noise comes from downstairs. A Dwarf runs up the stairs and past us. He is being chased by two Elves carrying their bows.

"Cheater! You dirty rotten cheater! How dare you cheat an Elf! You'll pay for that!" the two Elves yelled in unison.

"What happened?" I ask one Elf. He looks at me and at Caitlin and growls.

"That dirty Dwarf cheated us in a game of Cribbage. He's going to pay if it's the last thing we do! Stand out of our way fool!" the Elf replied. I draw my staff. Suddenly, I am flown backwards and begin shaking. Darkness creps over me and I disappear completely. I am invisible for a ten minutes and then reappear wearing green robes and carrying a green staff. I look at the hallway and shout "Alluminos Shielddos!" suddenly a shield the size of thirty Elves is blocking the hallway. The two Elfs point their bows at us.

"Why'd you do that?"

"There will be no fighting here. I am not just a Mithril Knight, but a wizard. Now, go!" I shout as my green robe begins to glow. The two Elves cuss and head downstairs. The shield dissapears and the dwarf walks to me.

"I thankee. If you ever need protection O mighty one, let me know. My name is Franesi the Loner. I am a lone Dwarf. You are...?" Franesi asks me. I look down at him and say:

"I was known as Jesse. Mithril Knight and member of the Fellowship of the Seekers. However, I became pure and am now known as Jesse the Green. How I became pure was because of my love for this woman and because of my heart. I now know most wizarding spells." I explain. The Dwarf looks surprised at me and says:

"It is odd for a Knight to convert to a Wizard in such little time. How you did it is beyond me mind. No matter kind sir. I will not challenge you Jesse the Green. Thank you for saving me hide! Good evening!" Franesi says as he opens the door to his room and closes the door. I turn to Caitlin and smile. Not only do my robes shine with a bright glow, but I have a deeper voice. It is as if I suddenly died and rose again.

"Caitlin, Jesse the Mithril Knight is dead. His staff was cursed. He never used it in combat. Upon releasing it, he was shocked to death. I am Jesse the Green, wizard of the forest. The mind of Jesse the Mithril Knight is in my mind and I am he. Just more powerful. I still love you Caitlin. Please, do not call me Jesse anymore. Call me Jesse the Green." I explain to her.

[Frodorocks]

OOC: I'm glad your girlfriend wouldn't be offended or anything, but I kind of like being tragic. Oh well...
IC: "Congratulations Jesse the Green." Caitlin said with a smile. "About the kiss. Maybe one would be all right."

[Theoden_king]

"Thank you" Thenedor smiled at Angoreth and rollled over to sleep again.
He was once again woken by Angoreth
"whats wrong?" he asked
"Nothng it's morning" replied Angoreth
"why is it still dark?" asked Thenedor

[Jesse]

*Jesse the Green looks at Caitlin and is captivated by her eyes. Never before had he loved someone as much as he loved Caitlin. He leans in and...their lips touch. It's soft at first but then the kiss deepens. Then I pull my lips away. I look into her eyes and smile. "I love you Caitlin. Remember that." I say. Suddenly, Eigo comes flying through an open window. He has a note in his beak and I open it and read it.

"Anagoreth and her friend will arrive here in a few days. Which means we'll be alone for awhile." I explain. I pet Eigo and give him a dead mouse that was in my pocket. "He's got to eat you know,"*

[Angoreth]

She turned to the sky."The darkness is getting thicker, I feel that we must reach the white council tonight"she said looking at thenedor with her pale elven eye's" I will wake Sarin we must hurry" she said as she walked over and nugged Sarin with her foot, he grummbled and mummbled and sat up"what?" he asked as he wiped his eye's."It is time for us to move"she said as she walked over and gave her horse some lembas and water then ate some herself and drank some water."you both will have a few minuts to wake up and eat what you can" she said as she mounted her horse," I will go a bite ahead and check out the bridge we must cross" she said as she went with speed.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at Caitlin and smiles. He looks outside. It is morning, but it is dark out. The darkness isn't that like a thunderstorm or night itself. This darkness is thicker. He stands on his toes and looks out of the window. Green lightning flashes ever five seconds. "Something is happening Caitlin. I fear our companions are in danger. Evil is coming, slowly, but moving towards this beloved city." I explain. I outstretch my arms and point my staff towards the sky. "Eighsi-Heugni-Meanis!" I shout. Suddenly, birds of all kinds, Eagles, Crows, Hawks, Pigeons, Robins, etc. stand in line on the rooftops.
"Friends, an evil is approaching this town. Two of you go and warn the rest of the animal kingdom. Tell them to try and stop the Orcs from reaching this city, even if it means dying in the process. They mustn't reach Minas Tirith. The rest of you, fly over the city and look for anything suspcious and report back to me. Go with haste!" I order. Suddenly, the birds fly off towards the south. Two birds, Crows, fly west towards the forest. Then all the birds take off and disappear.
"Caitlin, we must be on our guard. I have placed my power over this place. No Orc will enter this city while I'm standing. I must ask though...are you afraid of loving me? This thought has been in my mind for quite some time." I say.*

[Frodorocks]

"I am afraid of nothing," Caitlin said, her eyes flashing with fire. "but dying without ridding the earth of this evil and avenging Leto's death. I will always love you, but not in the same way. I'm sorry, but it's simply not possible. I love him more than anything, with all of my love. He may be dead, but he and our love live on in another place. Death is only the beggining." She smiled at him. "I will really miss you when I go to the undying lands though."

[Jesse]

*"Caitlin, I've decided something that wasn't easy for me to decide. Believe me, I've thought over this a thousand times. No, make that a billion times. My conclusion is this...

I love you enough to let you go. You are still in mourning. I'll always love you and will remember that one kiss we shared. Even though I wish it could've been more, but that's my wish. Caitlin, you are precious to me. I treasure our friendship and always will. If you no longer wish to be on this quest with me, you do not have to. There is no law that says you have to remain with me. I was selfish, rude, and annoying. Forgive me. If you ever wish to fall in love with me in the future, you can count on me to be there to protect you. I am immortal, so I cannot die. Wizards are immortal. I have learned so much on this quest.

1.) That my parents are dead and did not die in vain

2.) That when people are in love, they make mistakes

3.) I learned that friendship is far more important than love

4.) That I have a friend who will always be there (that's you)

5.) To be open minded and think before you act

6.) To have patience

Caitlin, you helped me learn all of these things. Thank you for teaching me. I only ask that I may kiss you three more times so the memory of me loving you will forever be engraved in my brain." I conclude.*

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor finished a hurried meal and hurried after Angoreth with Sarin, the elf had managed to get quite far in the short amount of time and the road seemed safe for now, but a dangerous presence could be felt
"We shoyuld press on and should reach the white council by afternoon" said Thenedor as the company started off at a thunderous pace

[Frodorocks]

Thank you for understanding. You have no idea how much that means to me. I would never leave this quest unfinished, partly because I want revenge, but mostly because I would never leave you guys to fight this battle alone. When do you want the three kisses?

[Mablung]

Lolik sensed an evil presence as they made their way towards Minas Tirith. He ducked and turned then shot off an arrow and a man falls from a bush with the arrow through one eye. He kicked the body over and saw that the man was holding a long curved knife and had the pinched face of a half breed. He plucked the arrow then placed it back in his quiver and resumed walking to the gates of Minas Tirith. "Screw the hotel we can stay at my parent's house get a better treatment there then the best hotel in the city."

Sarin saw the top of the White Council building in front of them He smiled and walked onwards towards the gates looking for the figure of Gandalf the White.

ooc: Everyone get their fill of the wizarding stuff while we're in this RP because if you haven't seen yet at some point in the future we will be entering the wars which means thatll be the end of any sort of magic within our guild because we'd be in the 4th age. You can still do one if you want it just won't be an official MK RP.

[Jesse]

*"I would like them now if you don't mind. It was hard making this decision though I must admit." I say as I lean in to kiss Caitlin. I put my hand on her's and wait for our lips to touch...*

[Angoreth]

OOC:yay!! i get to be Gandalf now... I mean it's cool.lol:D





Gandalf the white looked through the window of the white council wall, he could see Sarin coming up the step's. Gandalf went to meet him at the top."How fair you Sarin of the mithril knight's." he said as he shook the valient knight's hand. Come we shall go through the main hall and into the room where I go for rest." he said as she showed him the way. Do not worry Angoreth show thenedor the way" he said as he took a left down a peraly white smooth floor, then he opened a door with the wave of his hand and there befor Sarin was a room of great master's of craft, and tree's sprouting up from the floor on each corner and some flower's on each side of the fire place."Dwarf's and elv's designed this room, Very well done if I may say"he said as she sat comfortabley in a tall arm chair."please have a seat" he said as he gestured to Sarin to sit in a chair across fro him." now you have come to tell me somthing of importence." he said as he took out a pipe and began o light it." would you like something to drink?"he asked as he puffed out a big cloud of smoke witch took form as a bear.



Angoreth Raced up the step's then turned around and looked at thenedor" common I know you can move faster then that" she said as she watched thenedor admiring the fine craftsmenship done on the railing.


Famrill followed Lolik" Are you sure we should?." she asked doubtfuly." do you pearents have a messanger hawk or something to send to jesse so he would know where we are?" she asked as she cought up with him and rode by his side.

[Mablung]

Lolik waved dismissivly. "We can pick them up on the way we have to go past there anyway." Lolik then made his way towards the hotel making sure Famrill was following. When he reached the hotel he looked for a worker and had them send word to Jesse and Caitlin that their companions had arrived when he had a free moment.


Sarin sat in front of Gandalf and began to tell the story of what had transpired thus far. He spoke clearly and concisely answering questions as best he could. Not once was he intimidated by the fact that he was speaking to Gandalf the White.

[Angoreth]

Angoreth and thenedor arrived just in time to see Gandalf stand and say:



" So there is a second darkness trying to captivate middle earth."
he said as she looked over at Angoreth and Thenedor." please sit down for we have much planing to do befor this night is done." He said as the two sat in a chair on each side of Sarin."What shall we do my lord"asked Angoreth in confusion."If I new the answer to that question I would have already told you my fair elf" he said looking deep into the wall."These is what to be done"he said after an hour had past" we shall ride to helm's deep and there we can send word to rohan and there we shall conbind allies, for with a great darkness there is follower's not just inn sky but on ground" he said as he blew a another smoke ring and it formed into an eagle" we shall call on the help of the eagles, we shall ask if we can use there scout's to keep in eye on the earth and will be able to tell us if there are any on coming enemy's" he said as he put away his pipe.: and I will think of when to reveal my power to this darkness" he said as he looked at each one of them with his piercing gaze" But for now you all shall rest here in this room for the night, the fire will keep you warm for you rode hard and with great speed most have never seen. And in the morning we make for the helm's deep, I shall send word to your four friends and tell them to gather as much loyal people as they know." he said as he shut the window's" Nothing shall bother you here, rest well" he said as he left the room. A few minut's later he walked up to a servent girl" go to my resting room, there shall be three people, bring them three blanket's and three pillow's and something to eat and drink and tend o there will, I will be gone for a while"And with that he went into his room where he kept record of most deed's in middle earth, there he opened a cage door and inside the cage was a small blue bird, he let the bird fly around the room for a few minuts as he wrote this letter:




To: Jesse the green

Your friends Sarin,Angoreth and Thenedor are staying at the white council tonight, and in the morning we shall leave for helm's deep meet us there. Let Lolik and famrill go as they wish, for when they get to there destination I shall send word to them to get required iteam's that can only come from that area of time.


[/I]Gandalf the white[/I]


And with that he whistled and the blue bird flew and landed on his hat, he threw the letter in the air the bird cought it and flew out the window. Gandalf made him way down the main hall and to the door of the white council, he took his staff with him and a book witch had no title,. He walked for a few minuts and walked outside the outer gate, he whistled quite loud and waited a few minut's... aand over the horizen just as the sun was setting came his greatly respected and king of horse shadow fax." we shall need great speed tonight" he whispered into horses ear. He mounted the horse bare back and off they went as though faster then the wind, and disapeared into the setting night.

[Theoden_king]

OOC: welcome back Mablung

IC: Thenedor looked around at the splendour of the halls the company were in, "never before have I seen such beauty" he turned to the others, "so that was Gandalf the white? He seems just as mysterious as tales tell and reluctant to reveal information"

Thenedor walked across the room and looked at a many maps wich were hanging on the walls "It is a long way to Helms deep, prehaps we should get some food and rest now, you two seem to know your way around here where can we find some food?" he asked to Angoreth and Sarin

[Angoreth]

OOC: yes welcome back.


IC: Just then the servent girl opened the door and pushed in a cart with two shelf's, the top shelf had food covering it, there was ale malt beer ripe meat and fruite, and on the bottom shelf was blankets and pillow's."any thing else I can get you sir's or mam?" Nothing for me right now thank you, but where is Gandalf?" asked Angoreth. "he has left, he told me to tell you he would be back befor morning when you all would leave." she said as she placed the pillow's and blankets on a long couach." any thing I can get you Sir's, I will come back later for the plates"she said as she placed all the food on the round table in the corner.

[Jesse]

*Jesse leans in and kisses Caitlin. First the kiss is soft, gentle. Then it deepens and becomes more passionate. Jesse hugs Caitlin as he kisses her. He puts her head up to his and smiles. He continues to kiss her passionately, at last saying what he was trying to say to her. At last he can show her how much he loves her. Then their lips part and he looks into her eyes.

"That's kiss #1." he says as he hugs Caitlin tightly. Suddenly, a bird comes flying in carrying a letter. The bird lands on Jesse's arm and he opens the letter. It reads:

To: Jesse the green

Your friends Sarin,Angoreth and Thenedor are staying at the white council tonight, and in the morning we shall leave for helm's deep meet us there. Let Lolik and famrill go as they wish, for when they get to there destination I shall send word to them to get required iteam's that can only come from that area of time.


Gandalf the white


"Caitlin, we must ride to Helm's Deep tomorrow morning. Sarin, Anagoreth, and Thenedor will be there. Then the Fellowship of the Seekers will be complete again at last. Until then, I just want to spend this beautiful evening with you," Jesse the Green says as his staff glows and he points it out the window. The storm disappears and a beautiful sunset appears. A bird flies towards him and speaks to him.

"It also appears the Orcs approaching this city ran when they saw the sunlight. Odd for Orcs to do that. We are completely safe here. Thank you Viedi," Jesse says as he pets the bird and watches it take off into the sunset. The wizard continues to hug Caitlin tightly with his head next to hers. They continue to watch the beautiful sunset Jesse the Green made....*

OOC: Anagoreth, I love your location. Sneaking up behind Saddam and stabbing him with your Elvish blade. Very clever. :) ;)

[Angoreth]

OOC: thank you:D also am I doing an o.k. job on being Gandalf? every one I want your oppenion.

Angoreht sat on the cushioned seat infront of the window"I wonder what Gandalf is doing?"she said as she watched the sky.

[Jesse]

OOC: I told my mom your location and she just shook her head. :D Yes, you're doing excellent, IMO. Keep it up!:)

[Angoreth]

OOC: lol, your mom's like my mom,(but arent they all.)lol. And thanx I am working hard, but tell me what does IMO mean?.

[Mablung]

ooc: Im my opinion. IMHO is in my humble opinion.

Lolik sighs impatiently "How bloody long is that messenger going to take I haven't seen my parents in a long time and I want to get going." He paced back and forth under the stairs of the hotel.

Sarin looked out the window and shrugged. "What do Wizards ever do? They respond to beck and call mostly. Hes probably making ready to leave for Helm's Deep. Why did he pick that location I wonder. Orthanc could weather any attack much better."

[Angoreth]

OOC: what do you think Mablung.and O.k. I see now thanx jess.


Famrill watched Lolik pacing," I do not know either why he chose that location but he must have a reason." I am sure they will under stand if we just leave, we can tell the inn master to send them word of our arrivel and deparcher" she said a she wrote a letter and left it on the counter, it had to room's 45 and 46." there that should do it, shall we be going now?"she asked as she looked at the letter.

[Mablung]

ooc: Great job as always.

Lolik nodded and lead the way up the streets tense with anticipation of seeing his family again. He winded down the streets deeper and deeper into the city. He stopped in front of a large house almost as big as the hotel then pushed open the doors. Many family members rushed around him futzing with him talking about how he looked and what not. His father in particular stepped forward the family resembelence was obvious. "Welcome home son." He embraced Lolik tightly then let go and looked over his shoulder at Famrill. "Come back to introduce us to your bride to be eh? Congrat-"

Lolik blushed and cut him off there. "No shes just a friend we're on a a few more companions will be arriving shortly. Anyway her name is Famrill. Famrill this is my dad Vim."

Vim walked over then shook her hand. "Sorry about the mix up I guess its just wishful thinking."

"Oh please dad." The bickered for awhile the way family does. Lolik managed to break away after awhile. "Sorry about that Famrill anyway dinner is being served if your hungry."

[Angoreth]

"it is fine mr. Vim."she said with a smile."I am fine I will let you spend timw with your family I am sure they have an inn near by
thank you any way, how long will we stay here?" she asked as she watched the dad walk from one room to another asking where his pipe was."your family is quite nice from what I see, they might be like mine although I have not seen my for many a years" she said sadly.

[Mablung]

Lolik waved his hand at the mention of her going. "We can make up a guest room for you we have several besides Jesse and Caitlin will be looking for us here and we may have to leave quickly. Why have you not seen your family? Same reason as me? Not being able to get away from your duties?"

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor turns to Sarin "what is Orthanc like? I have heard mention of it but never have I seen it"
Thenedor walks towards a window and looks out of it in deep thought, "there is much of this Middle Earth which I would like to see"

[Jesse]

IMO=In My Opinion

[Angoreth]

OC: oh o.k. thanx. and I do not know if there is a king in mikwood I will just make up a name, please correct me If I am wrong.
I am so freakin ticked off I wrote one heck of long post and when i went to post it my screen went white. it is just bull ****, I am so freaking ticked so I had to rewrite wha I could from my memory, sorry it is not as good.


" alright I will stay here" she said as she began on her family" My mother is an elf but she kept it from my father becaus he is all race of man and has no likeing towards elv's. Well they got merried and had children myself my sister angoreth and my brother Depatren. Finally my father found out she was an elf and departed form the family. My brother left becaus he was angrey and felt alone, my sister and me left in search of a purpose and here i am today, my mother I have not seen sence that day." she said in a troubled voice," I think I will satble my horse now" she said as she went to go outside," please tell your family I am most greatful" she said as she disapeard from site.




Angoreth removed herself from the window to geta bite to eat befor thenedor ate it all." I wonder why Gandalf left, where could he be going?" she wondered as she took a malt beer from the table." ph well I will ask him when he returns." she said to herself a she took a drink of her malt beer.



Gandalf rode hard and fast,m finally he reached the edge of the wood of mirkwood, he dismounted shadowfax" stay near my friend I will be back soon" and with that he intered the wood's, he walked for almost an hour, finally he cought site of a white gate, he crrossed a small bridge and caome to the gate, he knocked loud on the gate with his staff, a voice cam in demand" who goes there in the name of king Themendull?" asked the gate keeper," It is I Gandalf the white and I swish to speak with your king!" yelled Gandalf in return," Gandalf? Gandalf? one moment" and with that the guard ran off, then shortly returned with another person, they spoke in low vioces but Gandalf could hear them well enough," what is it Temandum" demanded the other voice" this fellow say's he's Gandalf the white?" he said in return," well did you ask him the password? if your unsure you alway's ask the password" answered the other more older voice," right well," then he yelled over the gate." what is the password?" he yelled to Gandalf" Password? you waste my time asking me for a password?" he yelled back," well um... yes, what is that password?" he yelled again, Gandalf rolled his eye's" MELLON" he yelled,"FOLL! yelled the older voice, you kept a wizard standing at the gates, OPEN IT! OPEN IT! let him in!" the older voice yelled at the gate keper, when the gates had opened a pale looking elf came forward it seemed to be the older one," I am sorry master Gandalf, he is new at the gate, it wont happn again I promise," he said as he glared at the younger gate keeper," it is quite alright" said Gandalf as he was in no mood to be held at the gates," I wish to speak with your king, take me to him," he said as he looked at the older elf," yes right away follow me" he said as he turned and went into the kingdom and down a dimly lighted hall, then they turned left and it lead to a much larger hall where most elf's used to get around," It has been a long time sence our hall's have seen you master Gandalf" he said in a sheepish voice" I have been quite busy" he said as they turned right," we- well of cou-course you've been busy, How foolish of me" he said as they walked down a long hall" yes foolish indead" said gandalf as they reached a pearl white door. The elf knocked and a smooth as glass but very commandig voice rang out from behind the wood of the door" WHO IS IT!!" yelled the vioce," it is I my lord, Tindey the leader of the gate keeper's and I have brought with me a visitor my lord, Gandald the white,"he said as he called through the door," well let him in what are you waiting for" and with that Tindey opened the white door to reveal the throne room, and on the throne sat a tall then king pale but yet fair long pale golden hair, he stood and walked to meet Gandalf, gandalf bow'd his head , King themendull," he siad as he lifted his head," Gandalf , Long has it been sence you have graced myt halls with your presence" he siad with a smile." what is it that bring's you to mirkwood, my dear friend" he said as he and Gandalf went walking down the hall that lead to th king's garden," I have come to ask of yuo a great favor my friend" he said as they kept walking down the same long hall," Ah, yes much is needed in this year I suppose, what is it you ask my old friend?" he said as they reached a door with two guards infront of it, the king waved his hand and the two opened the door's to reveal a vast garden of many flower's and tree's," I come to ask for your allience in war, my good king" he said as they crossed a bridge that went over a small running river," many year's has it been sence my people have seen war, and yet it seem's they have wanted for it, many young elv's here have not seen battle and wish to, I suppose that they would go, But I would not let them If it was some one I did not trust" he said as he turned to gandalf," So you will join me in this war," he asked sa he looked at the fair elf's," I said I would not let them if it was some one I did not trust, you Gandalf I trust with my life and my peoples life... yes we will join you in this quest, but come Gandalf what is this war about?" he asked as they began to walk again, and Gandalf began to tellof what jesse and his comapany had seen in the sky. When he had reached the end of the story, the king sighed," so a second darkness has begun... My answer has not changed though, we will aid you in this war" he said as they reached the throne room again" then it is set, you and your people will meet us at helm's deep there we will decide a plan to over through this evil, good bye for now" and with that Gandalf left the king to call his people together. Gandalf reached the outer rim of the wood again, he whistled and he could hear shadow fax coming, when the horse had reached him he mounted it and began to ride west,:" come we have one more task befor this night is over friend" he said as shadow fax ran quicker" to rohan!" he yelled to the horse.

[Jesse]

OOC: Caitlin, please reply to my posts. If I said or did something offensive, let me know and I'll edit the posts. Please reply, I'm lonely here. :(

*Jesse looked at Caitlin and smiled. For the first time in his life, he knew true love. Even if Caitlin did not feel the same for him as he did for her, he would always know it was true love. I look at her and just hold her head against mine. We are locked in a deep embrace. I look into her eyes and ask:

"Is this uncomfortable for you?" I look at her and wait for her response....*

[Frodorocks]

OOC: You haven't said anything offensive Jesse, my computer keeps being really slow and stuff, and usually I'm so frustrated with it that by the time I get here, I end up quitting. (I hear you, Angoreth.:D )
IC:No, it's not uncomfortable Jesse.

[Angoreth]

OOC: well I am glad some one does, thanx caitlin.



Gandalf had reached half way to rohan when he stoped, out of the sky came his blue bird, he wrote a letter to Famrill and Sarin then sent the blue bird on it's way, the letter read:



To: Sarin and Famrill.


Angoreth Lolik and Thenedor are staying at the white council tonight and we leave for helm's deep in th morning please do as jesse and Caitlin and join us there.

from Gandalf the White


Gandalf mountded his horse once agin and headed of for rohan, the night was half over.

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor lifted his head up from his sleep and saw Angoreth and Sarin busying themselves with tasks. Thenedor quickly grabbed some breakfast and joined the other two,
"What are our plans for today? When will we leave?"

[Jesse]

*Jesse and Caitlin are still locked in a warm embrace. Suddenly, the sun rises and the new day has dawned. I look at Caitlin and smile lovingly. I passionately kiss her lips and hold her close. Eigo sits on the floor watching us with a funny look. I continue the kiss for three or so minutes and then our lips part. "That's kiss # 2. Now we head for Helm's Deep," I say. I stand up and leave my right hand out for Caitlin to grab it. I send Eigo on an arrand to go to the innkeeper and give him my paycheck. Eigo grabs the paper money and flys away. I look at Caitlin and let out a sigh.*

[Angoreth]

Gandalf intered the room as theoden asked his question" we leave for Helm's deep in two hour's" he said as he walked in to the center of the room." I have had many task's to do and many hav I fulfilled," he said as he called each over." I have something for each of you, for this war is unlike any you have encountered seen or heard of" He said as he took out a small box from within the huge pocket of his white robe." Sarin seeing as you have much speed and wisdome I give to you, a small gem that will embed itself into our sword, making each stroke stronger then befor, this is helpful if you encounter a cave troll" he said as he handed Sarin a blood red gem. He turned to theoden," Theoden you have much streangth and tackticks I give to you, a gem that will also embed itself into your sword, but this one will allow you to see the better move of the sword witch will help if you come across a great swordsmen" he said as he now turned to Angoreh" And oyu Angoreth have much will and stuberness that makes you not wan to give up a fight, to you I give a gem that will also embed itself into your sword, and in doing so will give you turn invisable and make it hard for your enemy to see your blade, thus making it easir to win a fight." he said as he turned to leave,Angoreth called to him," Gandalf where did you go last night?" And with tha the wizard turned around and walked up to the three of the company," I went many places last night prepairing for the battle, many will meet us at helm's deep" he said as he looked at all three of them " this war will not be easy nor quick to end, it shall need proper preperation and thinking through. an in witch is why I chose helm' deep, in doing so the wall in time will give us much time to get thing's into position, and is the closet of all strongholds" he said as he turned and left. Angoreth admired them gem Gandalf Handed her" I wonder how it get's into the sword" she said as she took out her sword and held the gem to it, and a few minuts the gem jumped from her hand and soaked into her blade," well!" she said with astonishment" so that how it work's " she said as she swung her sword to get a feel" well, it feels diferent, I dont know how, butit does" she said as she put her sword back into her sheath" well we have two hours to get ready, I guess we should get started" she said as she walked off to get her thing's.

Sarin handed his gem back to Gandalf. "My apologies Stormcrow, but I am a monk. I carry no sword and no weapons other than my own feet and hands."

[Angoreth]

Gandalf looked at Sarin, his eye's getting deeper as he fixed his mind on Sarin" I know monk's do not carry weapons, he said as she handed back the gem" But it is yours to do with as you wish, I meant for you to have it, becaus if you cross some one in need of this gem it is your duty to empart to them this gem" he said as he held up the gem" A gift does not have to stay with one person, it can travel to different places and people at different times" he said as he faced Sarin" I do not doubt you will find a use or some one in need of this gem" he said as he turned and left the room, leaving Sarin with something to think about.








OOC: when gandalf gives you a gift he gives you a gift,lol.jk. But this is realy what I meant I was just more or less thinking on Angoreth and theoden cuz of the sword and I wasent thinking on you being a monk, so I am sorry please forgive me.

[Mablung]

Sarin took the gem back and smiled. He placed it in his pocket thinking Maeg could find a use for it. He then turned with a quick goodbye and left to sit on the roof watching the sky and relaxing for what could be the last time in awhile.

ooc: Don't worry about it.

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor took the gem, rather greedily, as it would make him more powerful, he was not a weak willed individual however he was just a mortal man and the thought of power overcame him. He bowed to Gandalf and thanked him for the gift and then left the room to be alone.

Holding aloft his sword he placed the gem next to it and watched as the gem attached itself to the sword, the blade became heavy as though a great weight had been placed on the tip, Thenedor adjusted himself to get used to the sword but he felt a strength rise within himself and lifting the sword he began to swing it round.

After practicing by himself with his sword for roughly an hour he left to find his friends. He finds Angoreth preparing herself for the journey,
"I have never fought in any battle this big" he said to the elf "do you think we will last to the end?"

[Mablung]

Sarin came down off the roof and began gathering his meager belongings. "Battles this big last forever in real time, but in your mind it will only last an instant. It all blurs together into one big river of blood or a curtain of darkness if your not lucky enough to survive. Everything is lost into pandemonium and all you can do is try and keep yourself alive with those around you."

*Caitlin takes his hand and stands up.* It's a beautiful morning.

[Jesse]

*"Agreed Caitlin. It is a gorgeous morning. A perfect day to ride to Helm's Deep. It'll be a long journey and a tiring one. We'll travel most of the day and part of tomorrow. Do you want your own horse or will you ride behind me? If you want your own horse, I'll pay for it." I say as I massage her hand and then release my hand. I look at Caitlin and smile. Indeed, I have learned much on this quest.

"Once we arrive, I suspect Miran'ders army will be marching towards it. Another battle for Helm's Deep will happen soon I fear,"*

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor stood for a moment thinking deeply about what Sarin had just said, he packed a few belongings into a small bag. Then taking out an old looking pipe, Thenedor took himself outside for a quite smoke before the journey to Helms Deep was made.

[Angoreth]

Angoreth finished packing hr thing's and sat for a moment and thought about how long the first battle had lasted," I think wewill last a great while if not to the end" she thought to herself.


Gandalf walked into the room" it is time, we leave in a few minutes, where is thendeor, tell him we leave" he said as he looked around the room" I should ready your horses" he said as he walked out of the room." well I wonder" she thought oh well" Angoreth got up and went out side" thenedor, we leave soon, come" she yelled as she walked over to the stables to get her horse.
