RP 13: Destruction of the DarkBlade and the Meeting of Odin

[WarriorMay]

*May blinks her eyes. She doesn't know any more if she's dreaming or if this is happening. She shuts her eyes, then suddenly, passes out and falls to the ground.*

[goofoofighter]

*When May awakes, the first thing she is aware of is singing.*

[WarriorMay]

*May gets up slowly, blinking many times trying to figure out where is she. She scans the rooms, looking for Glory, afterall, she came here to find help for Glory.*

[goofoofighter]

*once again, May sees the silver trees, and expert woodwork that is almost the same shade. There are no windows and no clear doors, the clear mark of Elvish work. Everything seems to gleam, but nowhere around does she see Glory.*

[WarriorMay]

*May starts to hesitate, there's no sight of Glory.*

"Glory?" she says, "Glory?!"

[goofoofighter]

*May is in a pajama-like outfit that is light and comfortable. Next to her bed, on a small table is a new set of clothes for her and her travels.*

[WarriorMay]

*May looks at her new clothes, then scans the room once again. She wonders how she got there, and where Glory is.*

"Glory...?...Anyone here...?"

[Glory]

OOC: whoa! this is pretty interesting ...I wonder where am I? anyway lets continue.

[WarriorMay]

*May decides to get up. She walks over to the new clothes and inspects them. They look like an elf has made them. Elven clothes. May looks around the room. She walks around inspecting every detail.*

"Where am I...?" May says to herself. "This is the strangest thing.."

[WarriorMay]

*May decides to get changed. She slips out of her night clothing and puts on a white tunic and black leggings. On top of her white tunic, she puts on a silver leather shirt. On the bottum of the shirt are imprints of leaves in a lighter shade of silver. She takes her black leather boots and puts those on. She picks up a black cloak and ties it around her neck.*

*She looks around, no one here. She looks around the room and finds her sword. She picks it up and walks out the door from the room.*

OOC: VooGoo. I think you need to tell us what the rest of the place looks like.

[goofoofighter]

Everything May sees reminds her strongly of Rivendell, but with more of a light about. She begins to remember stories she might have heard about Lothlorien.
The pathways outside the door are just branches, but as she looks around, she sees more platforms like the one she just left. A few of them have beds and tables set up like her very own room, others are set up differently for different purposes.
Every here and there she sees elves tending to different things, and going places.

[WarriorMay]

*May looks at the elves. She scans the different beds, hoping to find Glory.*

[Glory]

*glory wakes up she is resting on bed and has been taken care by elves* "where am I?" *she ask weakly*

[WarriorMay]

*May searches the platforms for Glory.*

"Glory?-Oh sorry-Glory...?" she says walking around.

*She peeks into each platform, hoping to find Glory, but no luck.*

"Glory...? Is that you?" she asks.

OOC: When you said new clothes, is it just this one outfit I'm wearig, or is there more?

[Glory]

*she sees glory eating almost recovered in a table* Hello may, these kinds elves took care of me I'm better. *smiles*

[WarriorMay]

"Well, there you are. I was worried when I woke up and didn't see you." she says with a smile and continues, "I was looking every where, in fact I walked in on an elf who...nevermind."

*May looks around*

"Do you know where we are? And if you do, how do we get out, we need to look for Lytra."

*May takes another good look around*

"Well, we'll worry about that when you are fully recovered."

[Glory]

*glory looks surprised* "you walked on a elf?!?" *she turns around and ask something in elvish* "they say they have to take us with their leader they don't want to make any descision withouth his approval"

[Astaldolosswen]

May I join?

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Sure, you can join. Join when you feel is the right time.

"Alright then, if they say so..."

*She follows a group of elves as they take herself and Glory to their leader*

[Glory]

*they walk for a long time*
*glory sighs* "I would like to know where Lytra is..I hope she is okay"

[WarriorMay]

*Glances over at Glory*

"I'm sure she's ok. Lytra is strong, she can manage..." her words trailed off as if she couldn't even convince herself.

[Glory]

*sighs and looks down after a whilke of walking she speaks again tryin to confort her friend more than herself*
"she'll be fine..she has always been a strong person if anyone can survive that is her.."

[WarriorMay]

"We can't keep our hopes too high. She was wounded when I left, and I felt aweful, but I couldn't let you sit there, hurt."

*May stops as the elves stop*

"Why are we stopping?" she asks.

[WarriorMay]

*The elves just turn to her and continue to walk*

"Whoa...ok...." she says a little unsure.

[goofoofighter]

*when the elves have finally taken them to the King and Queen's platform, they are shocked to see Lytra sitting between them.*
*Lytra smiles and stands* "May! Glory! I hope they've taken good care of you. How are you feeling?"

((OOC: Yeah, just that one set.))

[WarriorMay]

*May looks around, confused*

"Uh...Great...You?" she says slowly. "And where are we?"

[goofoofighter]

"Celeb Taurornrim, my home."

[WarriorMay]

"Interesting...never heard of such a place...well...until now that is." she says while looking around again. "Beautiful place you have here, reminds me so much of Lothlorien. I feel very much at home, execpt for when I walked in on an elf...nevermind. It's so good to see you safe!"

[goofoofighter]

"You may stay as long as you wish; to become rested and such. You are my guests of honor."

[WarriorMay]

"I have many thanks for everything." she says smiling. "How did you escape the orcs?"

[goofoofighter]

"When you arrived, they were alarmed to see that I was not with you, and figured that I was in some sort of trouble, and so sent a bunch to help me with my struggle," Lytra explains, "Back at the cave on the mountains, when I had gone and come back, I had rushed to visit this place to see if it was what I had suspected." She pauses, "And indeed it was. I alerted them to our perdicament, and told them that I would take you all here, so they were expecting you."

[WarriorMay]

Smiles, "Thank goodness. When we are well rested, where will our next journey be?"

[goofoofighter]

"South to retrieve the blade, then north-north east to Naurduin to destroy it. The stakes are high, and many dangers with obstruct your path. I advise you travel carefully," says Lytra, seeming worried about the rest of the Company.

[WarriorMay]

"Are company is limited...we've lost many on this journey...You are joining us...right...?" she asks.

[goofoofighter]

*Lytra pauses and looks very grim with the mention of coming or staying. She seems to have put off the decision until now, when she must answer.* "I am very sorry," she says after the pause, "but I must stay..."

[WarriorMay]

May is slightly disappointed. "I understand." she says. "Glory and I, will do our best." she says turning her attention to Glory, who has been very quiet.

[goofoofighter]

((don't forget about Astaldolosswen.))

[WarriorMay]

((Hm? Oh yeah...hehe, my bad memory))

[goofoofighter]

*the King and Queen stand, understanding the pain they feel for the loss of a good friend* "In her place, and to boost hope in your journey, we will send with you our right-hand man, but he is a woman. Astaldolosswen would be glad to join you on your journey."

[WarriorMay]

"We thank you for your kindness to send us another fellowship member." she says bowing.

[goofoofighter]

"The pleasure is ours."

[WarriorMay]

"I suppose I must sharpen my weapons, and prepare." she bowing once again. "If you'll excuse me."

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astaldolosswen finds out that she will be going with May and Glory, so she starts to get ready for when they will leave on this dangerous quest*

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Glory...You're scaring me here...where are you?

IC: "Suilad Astaldolosswen." May says. "I am May, from Mirkwood."

*Gives a little bow*

[Astaldolosswen]

"Suilad. I am Astaldolosswen. I live here in Celeb Taurornrim, but I am orginally from Rivendell. I moved here with my father at an early age. It is a pleasure to meet you."
*gives a little bow back*

[WarriorMay]

"We can leave as soon as everyone's ready. It is a pleasure to have you on this journey."

[Astaldolosswen]

"Very well. If Glory is ready by the day after tomorrow, we can leave then. That way you's will be well rested and ready for the long journey ahead of us."

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astaldolosswen leaves and goes to finish getting ready for the long, and dangerous journey. She makes sure she has arrows for her bow and that her sword is sharp.*

[WarriorMay]

*May finds a nice quiet place where she cleans and sharpens all her blades, makes sure she has enough arrows, and makes sure that her bow, is in good order.*

OOC: Did Glory die or something? Where is she?!

[Astaldolosswen]

*after Astaldolosswen made sure she had arrows for her bow, she had to make sure that it was in working condition. After she was done doing that, she cleaned and sharpened the blade of her sword. Once she was done with that she decided to get her clothes in order for the journey.*

[goofoofighter]

((Good question, where is Glory?))

((Katie-dear; "you's"?))

((drat, gtg!))

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Glory, Glory...No answer. Anyone know where she could be?

[Astaldolosswen]

OOC:No, no sign of her anywhere. I wonder what might have happened to her.

[WarriorMay]

OOC: We really can't continue until she shows up, unless we pretend she's dead or something.

[Astaldolosswen]

OOC:That's right. We don't know if her character is dead, alive, or alive but still injured and will be coming along or not.

[goofoofighter]

((Glory is alive, she probably still needs some rest or something though.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((goofoo is right, we will have to wait till Glory comes back from where ever she went))

[WarriorMay]

((I just realized how many people we lost in this RPG. Wow. Anyway, where do you think Glory went? I hope she comes back soon.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((I guess the RPG is going to have to come to a pause for the moment, or at least till Glory comes back, otherwise, we can't really do anything without her.))

[WarriorMay]

((A pause then it shall be. Glory! Hurry up and come back from where ever you are!))

[WarriorMay]

((A...ha...ha...ha...*blinks* :D School's been holding me back a little...if any of you are out there, I'm guessing we're stopping for a bit. Not that we already haven't. But...))

[Astaldolosswen]

((but what? we've all been held up by school. hey, maybe Glory's school starts sooner then ours does.))

[WarriorMay]

((But...just to let you know. :D :p ))

[goofoofighter]

((yeah, school is holding us all up. I especially am being choked, I have no study halls for the entire year and I get three subjects of homework just about every day. Man... that's the only downfall of being in all the advanced classes...))

[WarriorMay]

(( GLORY!!!!!! I have lots of time on my hands, tell this long tale, or shall you tell later? Well anyway :D , Welcome back!))

[Astaldolosswen]

((now when we all have enough time, we can continue this.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((goofoo hasn't been on because of school work, house work and her mom won't log her on as far as i know.))

[Glory]

((mm...I hope she can post soon...))

[Astaldolosswen]

((i hope so too.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((goofoo told me on the phone tonight to tell you people that we can go on without her, she was going to make a post, but was disconnected today. She told that if she wants to make a post and can't get online, she'll tell me the post and i will post it for her in her account.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((if we want to we can continue, because basically all we're really doing is resting and getting ready to go on our way, but won't be going for a while.))

[Glory]

OOC: okey dokey then...

*glory is resting under the shadow of a tree while the others are getting ready to travell*

[Astaldolosswen]

*once Astaldolosswen is done with getting ready, she goes for a walk through the woods and finds a nice tree to rest under not far from the path she was on. she sits down by the tree and decides to think about what is going to happen to her and the rest of the group. while she is thinking she starts to nod off to sleep.*

[WarriorMay]

*May looks over a map deciding the best route to go. She then turns to the others*

"Any suggestion as to where it's safe to go?"

[Astaldolosswen]

*before she falls asleep, she decides to get up and go back to look at maps for they will need to take the safest route to destroy the Dark Blade. She hears what May asked and answers* "No, not that I know of. We might have to talk to someone who knows more about where the Dark Blade is located."

[Glory]

*glory stands up as well and goes to see the map*
"as farest as I know we where heading to the north wich makes me think that this route will be the safest" *points to a part of the map* "as you can notice there's a village, here, so my guessings are that maybe the dark blade is located in that village " *sighs* "we can always ask Lytra before we leave"

[WarriorMay]

"In the village?" she says, "Do you think the people in that village know of the Dark Blade?"

[Astaldolosswen]

"If the Dark Blade is in the village, then they probably don't know about it being there otherwise, they would of destroyed it. But, it could also be somewhere outside the village, like in a cave or something. We should really find out the safest way to get there so we have our strength to battle whatever or whomever may be protecting it."

[WarriorMay]

"That, or the people in that village now about it, and want to keep it." May pauses. "If that's the case, the best thing to do would be to search outside the village. If it's not found, my guess would be it's inside."

*Looks at the rest*

"Do you think it's possible Lytra could've mistaken the location of this blade?"

[WarriorMay]

OOC: ((Know what bugs me the most? Is that I know where it is. But I don't know if GooFoo wants me to tell you!))

[Astaldolosswen]

((GooFoo already told me where the Dark Blade is as well. So, unless Glory also knows where it is located, then don't say anything.))

[Astaldolosswen]

*looks back at May, then back at the map.* I don't think Lytra would get the location of the Dark Blade mistaken. She is someone who takes these matters very seriously. *looks back at May* She would never mistake something like this May. When something evil threatens the world, she makes sure she gets the correct location and then goes around looking for help and then going to destroy the thing of evil. That's how come I know she didn't get the location mistaken.

[Glory]

*Looks at may seriously* yes, Lytra wouldn't be that careless about a serious matter...*goes back to the map* we could camp behind this hills, and travell with the firts light of the sun...*mutters something* yes, if we take this way we could reach the village in just two weeks....of course if we don't have problems along the way..

[WarriorMay]

*May feels bothered by the situation*

"If this blade is in the village, the last thing I want to do is to attract orcs. I do not want the village to be under stress because of us."

*Rubs forehead*

[Astaldolosswen]

If the village truely knows that the Dark Blade is in their village, and they haven't done anything about it, then most likely they will protect it if we try to take it. But, if they don't know, then if they find out, they will want us to take it away. But, yes, we don't want to attract the orcs to us and to what we're doing. May, I know your bothered by this, and so am I and everybody else who knows what is going on, but you shouldn't despair, and Glory, I think that maybe we should wait until your fully healed to set out on our journey. I know I would like to take some time to fighting once again. I haven't fought in so long a time, I'm positive that I need some training before we go. If I were you two, I would take this time to make sure I had enough rest and relaxation. I am going to continue to train for the long journey, because you never know what might happen. See you in a little while. *walks away to go train and get used to fighting again.*

[Glory]

*looks at Astaldolosswen while he walks away and mutters something that sounds like "i'm fine"* ohh well *takes the bandages off from her wound* damit!...it doesn't heal fast *sighs and wrapps new bandages to her wound with a look of dissapointement* you know..I hate it..i always get hurt..during battles...*looks at the completly covered by bandages wound* ..I wish I could recover myself faster...*looks seriously at may* anyway Astaldolosswen is right we should be training.

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astaldolosswen gets back to her home, grabs her bow and arrows and her sword and goes to the woods to train her fighting skills. She starts out by shooting a few arrows into a target until her aim is perfect. Before she starts to train with her sword, she gathers the arrows that weren't broken or dull from her training with her bow. Once she gets them all, she makes some new arrows for her bow and then starts to train with her sword and she goes until she is as good as she can get. Once she is done doing that, she cleans her sword and she is very tired. So she goes back to her house and goes to sleep once she puts her sword, bow and arrows away.*

[WarriorMay]

"I need some time to meditate. Then I shall train."

*smiles at Glory*

"I am sure your wounds will heal soon enough. We wouldn't want to go off into battle with someone wounded, now would we?"

*Picks up her sword*

[Astaldolosswen]

*once Astaldolosswen wakes up, she is thirsty and gets a drink of water. she feels like she has no bones that aren't broken and decides to find a nice tree to sit under and meditate. she sits there for hours just listening to nature and what is going on around her.*

[Glory]

*looks at May's face and sighs* -but..I...-*a look of disaointment appears on her face* -fine I'll rest...like I had another choice anyway..:rolleyes:- *stands up and grabs her sword, she starts to clean the edge of the elven sword still looking a little bit bothered by the fact of being weak*

[WarriorMay]

*May finds a peaceful place to rest and then falls into a deep meditation. An hour later she decides it's time to clean her weapons and begin training*

[Glory]

*finishes cleaning her sword until Erandoil shines more than ever, she looks at it and whispers to herself:* I think I shouldn't have clean it that much *put the sword back on her shealth and thinks:* "I should get more weaponry...I don't want to get hurt again...a staff an bow should be enough" *stands up and goes to see the elves*

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astaldolosswen, was using a different sword while she was training. She was thinking about pulling out her best sword, Megil en' Eledhwen (sword of elven light). She goes to her house and pulls it out of an old trunk. She remembered when her father gave it to her. He told her that it had been passed down throughout the family lifeline. She knew the sword was old and that it had some sort of magic to it. So, she decides to clean it as well as she can so she can make out the magic in it. When shes done cleaning it, she can see the elvish runes on the sword and she admires it, for it shines with a light she hasn't seen in a long time. She starts to decipher what it reads, and finds out that the magic within it releases an elven light. The spell read "The Darkness Cometh, an' there be no escape." She marvelled at this and decided she would bring Megil en' Eledhwen with her on this journey.*

[Glory]

*sighs* nope I don't want a knife...erm.. why I did not learn elvish!
*elf speaking in elvish thinks: "hahaha.. I do understand her haha but I will pretend that I don't is funny to see her getting mad...she looks pretty much like one of us"*
*glory thinks: "That elf is looking at me in a weird way...he makes me feel unconfortable.. :p "*

[WarriorMay]

*May can see Glory having troubles with the elves, and laughs quietly to herself. She walks over to Glory.*

"Having problems my friend?" she asks.

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astaldolosswen, once she is done admiring her sword, relizes that they need to find a safe way to the Dark Blade. She decides to see Lytra about it. Once she finds Lytra, she asks* Lytra, how do you think we should get to the Dark Blade? I do believe we would all like to take the safest route.

[goofoofighter]

*Lytra turns her attention to her Astaldolosswen as she asks her question.* To this question I can give no answer. The area you travel to is beyond my knowledge, and of my knowledge of the blade I warn you; no way is safe if you seek it, and when you look apon it, do not look with your eyes, or risk it drawing you in. *she pauses* My Astaldolosswen, all you have known are the stories of war from your father, but more still the peace of this forest - your home. As long as you remember it, your company will find a way.

((Katie-dear. All of that training and refining would have taken you at least two and a half weeks! There's no way you got that all done in a day.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((Katlyn, upon is spelt with a u, not an a. *Lytra turns her attention to her Astaldolosswen as she asks her question.* ))

[goofoofighter]

(( I'm sure I've seen it as 'apon' somewhere, I'm not saying that that one is right, but... ah, I'll look into it sometime.))

- [ DISREGARD ] -

[WarriorMay]

((What? I'm kinda lost here...))

[goofoofighter]

((I am too.))

((*thinks about this* You know what. disregard my last post, mkay? okie-dokie.))

*glory sighs and turns to May* yes ...I'm having big troubles I was asking to this elf about staffs I think a new weapon should be better to fight....but he keeps showing me knifes to cook!!!!..I don't seem to comunicate very well by gestures...:rolleyes:
ELf: :D

[WarriorMay]

*May simles and laughs*

"Trust me, you're not the first it's ever happened to. I may be an elf, but my elvish isn't all the great."

[goofoofighter]

((doot de doot de doo... Have we gone on pause? Ummm... there's really not much I can do at the moment... seeing as Lytra has things to do... ummm... :confused: ))

[WarriorMay]

((Sorry, school and stuff. I try and post whenever I can...It's hard my friend Bobby's in hospital and all, so I spend most of my time there.))

[Astaldolosswen]

((that's okay. if we need to come to a pause, then we should come to a pause instead of having nonsense posts.))

[Glory]

((How long is this pause going to be?))

[goofoofighter]

((let's start now, as long as I stay ahead in my computer lit class, I can go online and do almost anything (they finally blocked neopets :( ), I'll come as I can, and check up on you (what with play practice and all), but I expect my second in command do do a bit of the game-mastering for a while too. BTW, if there are any Qs, email me and I'll get to you (hopefully they won't go to my JunkMail folder and I won't delete them *lol*) ))

*Lytra has sent her people to prepare all of you for a final meal before you must go*
*As you arrive and sit down, Lytra unfortunately has some bad news to share...*

"It has been long since you arrived here in Celeb Taurornrim, and now your journey will become more dangerous for the longer you stay. I advise that you go and claim the Dark Blade before the others who seek it do, or great discomfort will come to all of you the worst..."

[Glory]

((it's ok))
*sighs* we understand, we'll travell as fast as we can to find the darkblade, do not worry my friend *looks at lytra and smiles warmly*

[goofoofighter]

*Smiles at Glory's willingness and determination, and hopes for the best*
*As they go to leave, some of the elvish villagers bring in horses for the members of the company, out of their own hope for their quest*
((I really wish I had my map on me about now *lol*))
Lytra: "Ride south and make haste, the Darkblade is becoming active... I can feel it..."

[Glory]

*smiles at lytra* "Do not worry we'll find it" * bows and then she turns and her face adquires a worried expression but since she is turned Lytra doesn't notices. Glory mutters to herself* "do not worry..." *then rides the horse heading to the south whiles she shouts* "see you soon lytra!!!"

[WarriorMay]

((AHH!! Sorry! School and stuff have been taking up my time!))

*Bows to Lytra*

"What a joy your company has been good friend. I will surely hope to see you again."

*Mounts her horse and bows her head once again*

"Tenn' enomentielva (Till we meet again)." she says with a smile.

[Glory]

*May, ¿Astaldolosswen? and glory are heading to the south when the nights falls* "I think we should rest a while" *sighs an the looks at her fellows* "so, what do you two think? do we rest or shall we continue until dawn?" *Looks at her tired horse*

[WarriorMay]

*May is suddenly startled by Glory's voice over the silence*

"I think the horses need a rest." she says patting her horse.

[Glory]

*she walks an ties her horse to a tree* mm i think we could camp in here seem a nice place to do it. *looks seriously at may* i have a bad feeling be alert

[goofoofighter]

*Glory's senses are right, the company is being watched from above...*

[WarriorMay]

*May looks around, her eyes trail around the camp site.*

"If you feel uneasy, we should leave right away..."

*She walks around the camp area worried by the sudden warning of Glory*

"What do you think it is?"

[Glory]

*laughts* "no may, there is no point in leaving I've been having this bad feeling since we left the city, I don't think this threat -if indeed we are talking about such thing- is going to leave us anytime right now. " *then glances with seriousness at may's eyes * "I think something or someone is following us... " *mutters a few words to herself then turns and sees the sky then is when she says to May:* "..maybe with the will of stealing the darkblade from us once we can find it."

[WarriorMay]

*May walks over to her horse which was given to the three. She has decided to name her horse, Iarbeleth, meaning Swift.*

*She suddenly hears a sound it is unfriendly to her ears.*

"Lasto (listen)." she tells Glory. "Can you hear that?"

[goofoofighter]

*There is a slight windy sound, like the flapping of light wings*

[WarriorMay]

*May looks up at the sky, her eyes scanning, but it is hard to see through the cloudy skys.*

"Can you see anything Glory? My eyes cannot seem to find anything."

[goofoofighter]

*something resembling a silver whisp makes it's way through the clouds, leaving a swirling train behind it. The outline of the creature can almost be seen as it passes over the moon, making it just a bit darker than before*

[WarriorMay]

"Glory..." she says while holding a tight grip on Glory's wrist.

"Should we attack it...or leave it to follow and find out what it wants?"

*May releases Glory's wrist and holds on to her bow.*

[Glory]

*Glory looks at the creature then shuts her eyes and says to May* "No, we shall not attack, first we should find out what their intentions are, then ...." * shakes her head and grabs may's bow* "then, we can use that knowledge on our own behalf"

[WarriorMay]

*Looks up at the sky and ponders, if we do wait to see what the creature wants*

"Do you think it knows we've spotted it...him...her...? " she asks.

What would this creature want...Does it know why we travel this way... Or is it just a creature that just happen to stubble across our way?

*Many thoughts pour into the mind of May, whatever it wanted, it would have to do something soon, if it followed them too far...*

"Glory, we must do something, we cannot stay here, even to find out what it wants. If it is following us, we should leave and make sure of that then decide what to do with it. If it isn't, we should still leave for we must carry on with our journey." May says with a touch of worry to her voice.

((AH! I just love my avatar!! Sorry, I had to say something!!))

[Astaldolosswen]

((Ach!! I've missed so much. sorry bout that, i've been doing other things and completely forgot about checking every now and then. i am back now though.))

"This creature whatever it is, might be harmless, but it might be dangerous. I agree with Glory, we should not attack first, but I also agree with you May, we should leave and make sure that it is not following us, no matter the cost. We cannot allow the Dark Blade to fall into the wrong hands."

*is worried about what might happen if they stay, and is worried about what might happen if they leave, for they are both very good ideas for we don't know if the creature is foul or just passing by*

[WarriorMay]

*Mounts her horse. Her eyes once again scanning the sky.*

"Then, let us ride and carry on. We cannot let this creature burden us for have much already to worry about."

*She looks at the fellow members of the group making sure that this is the finally decision.*

[Astaldolosswen]

*goes by her horse and is struggling between which way is better, staying or going*

"I think we should go a little ways, and then see if the creature is still following us, if it is, then we will go until our beasts can no longer carry our weight, for we do not know if this creature is good, evil, or neither. Glory, are you with us?"

*mounts her horse as she watches the creature and Glory*

*after she mounted her horse, she came up with the perfect name, Vanya Ninquë meaning 'beautiful/fair white'*

[Astaldolosswen]

"May, wait. I don't think this creature has any intention of harming us. We should find out its intentions first then decide whether we should run or not."

*unmounts and walks over by Glory's side*

*she pulls out her sword Megil en' Eledhwen and she said the spell to release the light*

"Tel' Huine tula, ar' eller naa n'uma men n'e." (which means The Darkness Cometh, an' there be no escape.)

[goofoofighter]

((Katie-dear, I told you what the spell was for story sake, so you knew what to say when you got in trouble. But I specifically remember telling you that your character was not supposed to KNOW what the spell is yet...))
((Oh, before I forget - Glory, I was going to ask you about your sword. I do believe it had a will, and it hadn't acted up in a while. I was going to ask you if I could take over it's will and play it in the RPG for story-line sake. Would you consider?))

*As the light is released, all sight of the creature is lost among the clouds, and the whisps blend back into the calm grey sky above*

[WarriorMay]

"If it doesn't have an intention of hurting us, then why has it hidden itself among the clouds?"

*She rides her horse towards Glory and Astaldolosswen*

"What are we to do now?"

[Astaldolosswen]

*sheaths her sword*

"I do not know what to do. I feel that it has good intentions, and that we should let it come to us"

*she then gets very still and quiet*

[goofoofighter]

*nothing changes, the sky remains as still and grey as it was, and it does not get darker unless the moon passes behind a thicker cloud.*

[Astaldolosswen]

"Let's stay here for tonight. If the creature comes back, we will know, but for now, let's rest."

[WarriorMay]

"Manka lle merna (If you wish)." she says while unmounting her horse.

*She sits herself under the tree and sighs.*

"What a burden this creature has been to us."

*Her eyes travel back to the sky above them, annoyed by the fact that they still do not know what the creature wants or even, what the creature is.*

"Mani naa tanya nat'? (What is that thing?)" she says, "All we know so far is...well...nothing really..."

[WarriorMay]

((Come on you guys, we have to keep this going))

[goofoofighter]

*the night passes peacefully, and no sign of the creature returns at any time through the night. Soon the next day comes, and it is time to move on...*

[WarriorMay]

May rises at the sign of light. She gets up slowly and looks up at the sky. Nothing is there.

Thank goodness, now we can continue...

She sees Glory and Astaldolosswen still at rest.

"The sun has risen, it is time to move on. We have lost much travel time, we must make up for it." she pauses as her eyes signal up to the sky. "The creature has not returned, it has left us now. Good timing as well..."

May walks over to her belongings, and packs them up, she awaits for her friends to do the same.

[Astaldolosswen]

*Astaldolosswen wakes up when she hears May packing her stuff*

"Why are you packing your stuff up so soon? We should eat before we do anything else, otherwise we will not have the strength to do much of anything but ride our horses, which means we would not be able to fight if we had too. And I do not want that to happen, for I am a very skilled warrior, even though I have not fought in a while. Once I moved to Celeb Taurornrim, I stopped my fighting ways. I have once again been moved to fight against evil. So we will not move on untill we have eaten something so we have our strength."

*takes some food out, makes a fire and starts to cook it, when it is done she offers some to May, and takes some herself and leaves some for Glory when she wakes*

[WarriorMay]

May takes some of the food. She eats it quickly and says to the others, "I want to scout this area...just incase. We still do not know what lies ahead. I have never been to these parts of the land, so I am curious to know."

She mounts her horse and looks to the others to see if that is ok.

[Astaldolosswen]

"I don't think that the creature will be coming back any time soon. But if it will make you feel better, I will come with you to scout for anything. I'll leave a note for Glory telling her that we went scouting. We will leave the food for her and hope that no animals come and eat it."

*she mounts her horse and grabs her bow and some arrows even though she thinks she won't need it. she also grabs her sword just in case of any hand to hand combat*

"Let's get going so we can get back and continue our journey."

*says a few words in elvish and her horse starts to go in the direction she says*

"May, you go the other way. And we will meet back here in an hour. Alright, see you in an hour."

[goofoofighter]

*There appears to be a humongous rock where there was not one before. It is clearly impassible, and it's shape is quite suspicious. And for some reason, it almost seems to be alive...*

[WarriorMay]

As May slowly moves to other direction, her eyes are locked on the rock.

"Wait... Astaldolosswen." she rides towards her and points to the direction of the rock.

"That was not there before..."

[Astaldolosswen]

"Your right. Let's check it out."
*they go over by the rock to see what it might be, as they reach the rock, it seems to move*
"What the? Does it look like it's moving?"
*they get a slight bit closer, and the rock seems to move even more*
"I don't think this is right. A rock should not move on its own."
*the horse is frightened a slight bit, and backs away*
"Whoa boy. You'll be alright."
*pats the horses neck to let it know that its alright*

[goofoofighter]

((*says this quite seriously, warning her* Katie, I suggest you change your post, you're doing a bit too much moding with the rock, dear.))

*The rock does not make the dramatic twitches Astaldolosswen suggested, but stays as still as it can, but for small movements of the smaller end.*

[Astaldolosswen]

*unmounts her horse and gets closer yet to the rock. she is very curious of what it is and pokes it a slight bit*

"Hmmmmmm.........."

*pokes at it some more in different spots every time*

[WarriorMay]

"Uh..." May says with a what-the-heck-are-you-doing type look on her face.

"That might not be the best way to deal with it..." she unmounts and stands beside Astaldolosswen.

"Some creatures do not appreciate being...poked..." she says with a joking expersion.

[goofoofighter]

*it growls a bit, gets up and steals Glory's breakfast. Gives Astaldolosswen a nasty glare, but flies off without attacking her*

[WarriorMay]

OOC: *lol* I don't know why, but that seemed like the funniest thing ever.

IC: Looks towards Astaldolosswen with a very confused look on her face.

"What was that all about?"

[goofoofighter]

OOC: *lol* I know, that's why I wanted to do it, it was just so unexpected. ^^

[WarriorMay]

May runs over to Glory and attemps to wake her up. They have to leave now, they have spent too much time around these areas, it is time to move on.

"You can eat while we travel. You can do two things at once, can't you?" she says with a grin on her face.

"We have spent much time here, it is time to continue on."

[Barakul]

Yo yall can I join? It sounds like fun. Sorry I'm joining so late I just joined TTF.

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Hello there. Welcome to the Tolkien Forum. Just, let me get in touch with goofoo.

[Barakul]

ok cool. Also where do I post my char profile for the rp I didn't see one of those discution pages fot this one? Thanks Peace out!

[Lossen Vana]

Yea can I join too? I also just joined TTF

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Post your RPG Profile in "RPGs: To Be Sorted" There is a thread to post up your RPG profile.

Glory? Astaldolosswen? Are you guys there?

[goofoofighter]

((Sure you can join! The more the merrier! ^^ I'll tell you all about what's happened so far in a private message.))

((May, if need be, just continue on without them, and they'll catch up when they get back in their own way. Remember, you must make haste to get the blade before they do.))

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Yes, of course. New members, make it a good enterance!

IC: May rides her horse, continuing south. She rides at a faster pace for they must make up for the time they lost. A creature in the sky, and then a creature, hidding in the form of a rock. What could be next? She suddenly stops and looks at the map. South is where Lytra told them to go, so south she will continue. She decides she could slow down a bit. Unmounting her horse she thinks it is time she used her legs once again, as she did in the beginnging.

A soft breeze comes across the lands, and May and sense something near...or someone...


OOC: Here's your chance.

[Barakul]

*Barakul had been traveling far and wide with his partner Lossen Vana. They were searching for an advenure. And oppon meeting with an old Shaman they had found that adventure. They were told of the Dark Blade, and the fellowship in serch for it. With that Barakul and Lossen headed shouth in search for this fellowship and the Dark Blade. They had takken a rout through the woods for Lossen Vana was a good tracker and knew all the fastest ways to get anywere. Now they had finaly cought up with the fellowship. Barakul then walks out of from behind a tree to the right of May.*

"Hello there! You wouldn't happen to know of a little trinket called the Dark Blade would you?"

[Lossen Vana]

She shakes her head as she sees that her Dwarf parter would never make a good spy, let alone tracker. It seamed to her that he has had either way to much beer or sugar, of prehaps both.

Fogive me for the Dwarfs rudeness. You must forgive him, he is ONLY a dwarf. And you know how they can be! :rolleyes:

She bows infront of the leader.

Pleasure to meet you. My name is Lossen Vana. Can I ask your name and why your traveling this way? If you will.

She gives a cross look towards Barakul. She still wasn't sure of him. And was only traveling with him because, unlike him she was an assian, but now thinking on it. She would have been better off without him. Seeing that she would have had the cover of surprise, and prehaps servalence to watch the situation more before, just spinging out to ask such and obvoious question that they might not anwser.

[WarriorMay]

May is surprised anyone else would've been sent to come this way. The only people May knew that had been told about the blade was the fellowship in the woods where they had met Lytra.
How could she have not noticed that they were right behind the fellowship?

"My name is May or Tárakaliel of Mirkwood." she gives a bow to the two. "I am a traveler, I travel around, that is why I am here."

May would have to hold off the information about the blade until she knew she could trust the two. How they knew about the blade, she did not know.

"Tell me, why are you here?" she kept her hand on the reins of her horse, just in case she needed a fast way out of there. She kept an eye open on their weapons, she would need to make sure they wouldn't make any false moves.

[Lossen Vana]

Understanding her worry she seaming answered the question before the dwarf shot his mouth off and got her into a heep of trouble.

Miss we are here looking for something or someone. (bowing hoping that she didn't offened her) I was told that there was a group of humans, elves, and dwarfs this way. And that they had been going threw some hardships. Now being a noble elf. I desided to come and find you and help as for the dwarf... (she points a finger back at him) ...I honestly don't know where he came from. But he follows me. I was hoping to lose him taking this road, but alas he has found me again! :rolleyes:

She bows once more, towards the leader, May as she called herself. She was almost hinting around the fact that she was tring to ditch the dwarf, and still trying. But didn't know how.

Her last words, were weith much emphasis and dread:

Dwarfs

[goofoofighter]

*Lossen Vana has mentioned a company of men, elves, and dwarves, but she notices that once was is no more, and all that is left of the company are the three travelling elves.*

[Lossen Vana]

She notices a sweep of sadness come over GooFoo. She frowns, and tries to express her deep sorrow for the group. For she understood the feeling of loss and pain.

[goofoofighter]

*goofoo's character has left the fellowship a while ago, but has sent someone in her place (Astaldolosswen, played by Astaldolosswen)*

[Lossen Vana]

Ok so am I talking to Goo or Astaldolosswen? At the moment?

[Astaldolosswen]

((sorry i haven't posted in a while. school work and i've had a very busy weekend. your most likely talking to me or May))

*comes up by May's side and says* "My name is Astaldolosswen."
*gives a slight bow*
"I am traveling with May here and Glory also. I live in Celeb Taurornrim. If you don't mind me asking, but where did you find out about the Dark Blade?"
*unmounts her horse for she had to catch up with May because she was waiting for Glory*

[Lossen Vana]

She bows and thinks about the question.

I was told. By the one who told me about your mission. He was cloked when I spoke to him and wouldn't revel his name.

She shruged her shoulders. That was all she knew about the darkblade.

Honestly I think the dwarf knows more then me. I'm just here to offer extra protection. He is the one into the gold and riches thing.

[WarriorMay]

The sudden remembrance of the previous fellowship slipped into May's mind. Glory had been there the time there were more than just the three of them. Elves, dwarves and men. But now only stands three elves.

"Yes, there were men and dwarves with us. But they are gone." a deep sadness fills her eyes. (I'm taking it they all died because they just stopped posting.)

"Enough about that, tell me, Barakul, was it?" tries to aovid using the word dwarf. "What do you know about the Dark Blade?" her eyes now show her seriousness, there was no time to have a casual talk, they must get back on track.

[goofoofighter]

((remember the time the troll had us pinned in that cave? I guess it's safe to assume the rest died or disappeared somewhere in the time frame where the wave of evil things was passing by.))

[Glory]

((OC: erm..sorry, I was busy at school))Originally posted by goofoofighter
((Oh, before I forget - Glory, I was going to ask you about your sword. I do believe it had a will, and it hadn't acted up in a while. I was going to ask you if I could take over it's will and play it in the RPG for story-line sake. Would you consider?))
((I was thinking exactly about that! lol of course erandoil's will, will be played soon))
*Glory has been quiet since she is still chewing her breakfast (or at least the part that wasn't stolen by the creature), then a look of sadness is seen on her face as she remeber about the ones that have been left behind, she quickly swallows her breakfast and says loudly:*
"well, I shall introduce myself as Glory..." *smiles warmly, then she turns at may and Astaldolosswen* "leave the interrogations, for later we should be heading to the south by now" *Mounts on her horse* "Besides we could use some help in this quest, just keep an eye on them "

[Lossen Vana]

Lossen nods and mounts her horse. He was a pure white steed. Young and restless to move. As she rides a sleak black greyhound follows by the horses side.

[Glory]

*rides leading the fellowship*

[WarriorMay]

May mounts her horse and says, "Har (south)." she says to Iarbeleth, her horse. Iarbeleth starts to trot south. May slowly makes her way to Glory and says, "How they found out about the blade, I do not know. Why they wish to find it...there are two different reasons..."

Her voice dirfts off as she continues to look foward, as if she has said nothing. Yes, they may be there to aid them, but what if they are not. Should they risk it to allow them to become to close to them? (Relationship wise)

May speaks again, "What do you think?"

[Lossen Vana]

Lossen directs her horse, to the south to follow the others. Her dog keeping up in pace and step. She looks down on him and smiles. And wonders why this darkblade is so important? She knew nothing about it except that most people wanted it distroyed.

[Astaldolosswen]

*she mounts Vanya Ninquë , her pure white steed, catches up to may and glory*
*she says in a whisper to May and Glory* "I don't know about these two, but we should definatly keep our eyes on them. They might just want the blade for themselves, or they might want it destroyed."
*looks back at them and is a bit worried about what might happen, but looks ahead a split second after*

[Lossen Vana]

She rode in sielence behind the others. She could hear there wispering with her keen sence of hearing. 'What is so important about this blade. It must be very important. And worth alot of money.' Thinks that she aught to keep Barakul away from it then. She edged her horse up closer, and desided that at least if they were going to whisper like that, they would know now that they were being listened to.

[WarriorMay]

The past brought back many memories. Good, and bad...

*Aerin looks at the surrounding countryside with a keen eye. Fingering the pommelstone of Gonturan, she suddenly looks down at her sword. The gem begins pulsing slightly.*

"I fear there may be some evil afoot. I say we stay close together and be prepared for whatever foe awaits us."

"Stick together!" she says as they run. "And remember we are due north! If you ever wonder off!"

Her own voice echoed in her ears. Then the voice of her very good friend, Lytra, came...

"We have run too long! We have drawn these Morierea too close to the Shaman's dwelling, we must stop them here. We can run no longer!"

The fellowship struggled a great deal amoug the mountains. But, things like that, did not trouble the fellowship's heart's...

*After wiping the gore off Gonturan, Aerin joins May.*

"Well, wasn't that fun? :D What's next on our adventure?"

They all celebrated too soon. For the event of the caves, would claim most of them...

"Ok, but if anything should happen I'm not leaving you behind."

*turns to the rest*

"This seems to be our option, let's get to it."

Glory's bravery got them out...

*just exatly when they start to Run they see an arrow on fire fliying over their heads it was glory’s signal.

*after 20 minutes of wait May finally sees Glory comning out from the cave she is completely covered with blood and walks a fews steps outside before she faints*

Then the day that there were three sent out to find the blade, and not four...

"Our company is limited...we've lost many on this journey...You are joining us...right...?" May asks.

*Lytra pauses and looks very grim with the mention of coming or staying. She seems to have put off the decision until now, when she must answer.* "I am very sorry," she says after the pause, "but I must stay..."

Then, Astaldolosswen was to acompany May and Glory...

*the King and Queen stand, understanding the pain they feel for the loss of a good friend* "In her place, and to boost hope in your journey, we will send with you our right-hand man, but he is a woman. Astaldolosswen would be glad to join you on your journey."

May's mind comes back to the present time. She doesn't even realize the tears that trickled down her cheek. They had lost almost everyone in the caves. As we started out as a group of ten and expanded, there are only four including Lytra that are alive today. Memories May wishes to let go of, but never forget.


OOC: I felt like having a flash back...*cries* ;) I just picked up the best posts that could describe it. :D

[goofoofighter]

((*crying in her Computer Lit class* You did very well May, very touching.))

[Glory]

((OCC: glory isin't whispering ecept for the part where I said about keeping an eye on them..lol may your flash back was very touching I didn't though someone would remeber about my attempt of killing my character *lol*))

*still riding on her horse isílme (in quenya means light of the moon) she turns to looks at may's eyes* "mm..if I recall well.." *grunts* "one of them said something about a shaman informing them..." *smiles* "besides remeber I never told you how I found out about the blade" *giggles then looks at may warmly* "do not worry I don't think they have any bad intentions otherwise my sword would be glowing by now"

*turns at Astaldolosswen* "I do not sense by the look in their eyes any evilness" *Gives to Astaldolosswen a serious look* "But, anyway it would be okay to keep our eyes on the dwarf they are well-known by their greedy intentions" *smiles warmly* "it's a beutiful day, isin't it?"

*Looks at Lossen and smiles, slows the pace* "Aiya (hello), Manen natye? (how are you?)"

[Lossen Vana]

She looks over at the other elf and smiles. It was nice to see soemone speaking in her native tounge. Usally most elves spoke in the tounge of man.

Aiya a' lle (hello to you) Amin quel. (I'm good) An lema? (long jouney?) Mani marte? (What happened?)

She troted up next to Glorys side. Her greyhound sightly following, sniffing the trail ahead to find out if there was any preceding danger.

[Barakul]

*As the others beging to mount their houses Barakul blows a small wood wistle. It's low humming noise travels throught the land herd by almost none. Barakul sits back and waits as the others ride off without him. Then the one that herd the wistle apears. A great gold giant eagle. It hovers low then lands next to Barakul and after a minute (dwarves are so small :D) he climbs on.*

"What took you so long Agulor? I've been waiting for almost a whole minute! Well they left without us as usual. But we can catch up quickly if you don't loose sight of them. Some times you fly so fast you can't keep your oun eyes on a target. Remember that time you missed the big orge in the buss lands. Hahahah that was funny. luckly it was only for a second. Once you slowed down you caut his easy. Hahahaha. Well lets get going before they're out of even your site."

[WarriorMay]

OOC: The whispering part was because May could hear it in her ears, very faint talking. :D

IC:

"Lle ume quel Glory. (You did well Glory.)" May says smiling.

She looks over to Lossen and asks, "Malia ten’ vasa? (Care for some food?)" She pulls out what is left of May's breakfast for she intended to save it for later.

"Manke naa tanya naugrim (Where is that dwarf?)" May says suddenly remembering that there was another that had joined them.

[Barakul]

*Barakul quickly caches up with the elves with Agulor. He then slows Agulor down and has him fly just above the low trees to he would be in yelling distance.*

"Oh just leave the dwarf behind! It's so easy to forget the LITTLE GUY! Well what are you chatting about now. Hopefuly only getting accuainded with eachother...Comon! I know hourses can move faster than that...Well they better if you hope to survive. Lucky me, I got Agulor. A small Oliphant stampeed will make no difference for me. But for you on hourse back it does! Well look at on the bright side. We know were getting closer, Oliphants live pritty far south! Hahahahahahahahahahahah"

[Lossen Vana]

She smiles. Of course she wanted food she was famished. But not to sound like a wild starved beast she nods.

Mani naa ta? (what is it?)

Her stomach rumbled at the thought of food. Then she thought of the dwarf, She nods and under her breath mutters.

Auta miqula orqu (Go kiss an orc)

She says to the dwarf. Who she was luckey didn't speak word of elfish. She rolled her eyes and moved on.

[goofoofighter]

((Glory, your answer to my question wasn't very clear, I'm not sure if I have your sword's will or if you do. *lol* But for now I'll work with it...))

*The Dwarf's whistle has summoned more than his eagle friend, something fouler. Glory's swords begins to pulse brightly after he has arrived and a shadow falls over everyone.*

((Not to be cruel, Lossen, but I thought I would let you know that the Elvish you are speaking isn't the real deal, but I can give you a site that has the real stuff. Believe me, I fell for the same fake Elvish you have when I started trying to learn it. www.ardalambion.com <<there's real Quenya on here :) ))

[Barakul]

OOC: She's not speeking Quenyan and she has real elvish it's from "The Languages of Tolkien's Middle-earth" book. It's one of Tolkien's three elvish languages I forget which though. I don't think it's Sindarian and I know it's not Quenyan.

[Lossen Vana]

OOC: It's called Tel'Quessir. And I hope yur right. And Barakul. I have the book but this one I got from tel'quessir (http://www.grey-company.org/Circle/language/com2elv.htm#m). I figured that It was easier to spell it by cut coping and pasting the words.

BIC: Watches the little dwarf. She rolls her eye. Then they stop as she sees the eagle.

Nice Bird

[Astaldolosswen]

*notices that Glory's sword is pulsing*
"Glory...is your sword suppose to be doing that?"
*confused and worried*

[WarriorMay]

May watches as the sword continues to pulsate. Her eyes show much fear. She forgets to answer Lossen and says to Glory, "What is it doing...? Has it ever done it before?"

[Lossen Vana]

Watches the sword glow and her dog begins to growl. She looks down at him and wonders what is wrong.

[Barakul]

"Arggggggggg! Do you all want to get trampled! Move faster before they kill you!"

*Barakul desides to take matter in to his oun hands becouse the elves to be too pre-occupied to care about their oun lives! The oliphants were catching up quickly so Barakul did the only thing he could think of, and that he would have time to do. He flew Agulor high in to the air. Then helt on tight as he had him dive. Agulor headed strait for the oliphants head on. Then just as he was close to the ground he had Agulor stop and flap his wings hard with picked up a giant cloud of dust in front of the oliphant herd, using the giant eagle's huge wings and the force from his speedy dive, stop and go tactic. The dust cloud was so thick and large it confused the oliphants and stopped them dead in their tracks. Barakul and Agulor then fly up to the elves and land.*

"Well I hope your happy! If it wasn't for me you would all be one with the dust by now. Tell me what was so important to look at that you would rist your lives for! I mean Lossen Vana I know you the best and you are alwase on guard. I've never seen you act so blasé about something like this. Under normal surcumstances you would have thought of a way to stop them before I had even known they were coming. But these can't be normal surcumstances. What happened?"

[Lossen Vana]

She grimaced. The little dwarf was right. It seamed she was off her gaurd, even when her dog tried to warn her off the impending danger. Then what she thought she said out loud she transmitted to the dwarf in E.S.P. not on purpose of couse.

'Dwarfs they may be smelly and short but he dose have a point. I was off my gaurd. Even after my trusty hound told me of impending danger. I think It might have been the fact I was so caught up in socilazing with my own kind.'

She bowed her head low. Then threw her dog a scrap of meat for his attentiveness. Then did the same for the bird.

I must say thank you great dwarf for all your good work. And I must thank your bird too. If it wasn't for you we might all have been dead.

[Glory]

((OCC: yes you can play erandoils will lytra.
sorry for not posting we sorta had an earthquake here so I couldn't post with all my relatives going paranoics))

*Glory has been there looking at everything quietly without saying a single word then she takes erandoil out form it's sealth and says*

"this has been my fault, I forgot to tell you all about my sword ...other way you would have paid attention to the treat"

*turns and smiles at the dwarf* "you have proven to be useful to this quest"

*gives a seriousness look at the others* "the next time you all see erandoil glows, stay alert, alright?" *then she rides ahead and dives in her own thoughs*

[Lossen Vana]

She nods now begining to understand the typw of dangers that they were facing. Although now she was getting hungry and wished that they would stop for a bite to eat sooner or later.

[Astaldolosswen]

*is becoming hungry from all that has happened in the past day.*
"Thank you......ummmm......what's your name dwarf? I didn't quite catch it before, but anyway, thank you for saving us. Normally elves know of danger before dwarves. When we stop I will give you a little something, as well as your eagle."
*asks May*"When do you think we should stop for a rest. Our friend Lossen Vana is probably hungry from all her travels and I would like to reward the dwarf with something for saving our lives."
*turns to Glory*"Glory, does your sword start to pulse when danger is near? Cause if it does, we can use it to our advantage. When it starts to pulse, we can all get on a high alert. Where did you find that blade anyway?"
*whats for Glory to answer and for May to answer*

[Lossen Vana]

Thinks about what he said. He mouth began to salivate. And it was almost like she could smell it. Her dog began to salavate also, then let out a long low growl. His fur bristled up on his back, making him look furious. Lossen looked down at him as if snapped out of a trance.

It's ok boy there is no need for that all the danger is gone.

If there would have been any danger Glories sword would have glown.

[Barakul]

"Ah yes I'm sorry. My name is Barakul, Son of Axes. I am from Erebor, the Lonely Mountain. I have yet to be fully accuainted with any of you fair ladys. May I ask your names as well? I hope you don't mind but I'm a little hungry and I work and fight much better when I have eaten. I have fresh venison if anyone wants any? It's quite good when you cook it right. And I know just the wase to cook it. But then again it's only a little past high noon so we should keep going before dinner. I don't think I have any thing light to snack on though. So unless you do you
ll half to wait."

[Astaldolosswen]

"Oh, my name is Astaldolosswen. I come from Celeb Taurornrim, I moved there after a little problem. It is a beautiful village. I can't wait to get back there. I used to live in Rivendell, but I moved as you know to Celeb Taurornrim."
*picks up the pace so they can cover more ground before nightfall*
"Barakul, where did you get eagle?"
*trying to start a conversation so it isn't so quiet*
"May when do suggest we stop for the night?"

[Glory]

*slows the pace and rides next to Astaldolosswen* "My sword pulsates when a big or important event is about to happen, not necessarily a dangerous one. However it does glow red when danger is near, the blade that I carry is indeed very old. Great, old and dangerous it is. I shall not speak about it anymore I only will tell you: that Erandoil's will is only meant to protect it's bearer" *looks at the dwarf and smiles* " Barakul, huh? You can call me Glory" *looks at may then turns again at the dwarf* "I'll take some of that fresh venison..." *looks at the sky and sighs* ".....but I'm afraid that the danger has not yet dissapeared. I don't think we should rest until dawn" *then looks at the road ahead and dives deeply in her own thoughts, dark, sad and old memories come to her mind*

[Lossen Vana]

She liked the idea of making a stop to sleep. But her dog was still acting funny. So she dismounted and tryed to calm him, but nothing worked. She then took the dog off into the woods abit so that he coudn't see the bird, and he stoped growling. Seeing the problem she comforted him and told him it was alright. Then going back, the moment Mor Ros saw the bird began to growl.

I don't know what has come over him but it seams to me that my dog dosn't like your bird.

Then she attempeted another phase in E.S.P. only getting the power a few days ago.

But I like him.

[WarriorMay]

OOC: Ugh, sorry I didn't post yesterday, I had a study group to get to. Finals and all. Very annoying.

IC:

May looks up at the sky, it started to darken she then looked to the rest and saw the tired faces. She spots a big tree not too far from them. It was the tallest of the trees and decided it would be safer there.

"We shall ride to that tree." she says pointing in the direction. "Get your rest, we will need to cover more ground tomorrow."

She rides along next to Glory, "At least with your sword we will have a warning before anything happens."

She looks around and looks towards Glory and Astaldolosswen, "Something in my heart is telling me we need to hurry. We must quicken the pace. We do not know who else may know about the blade."

[Lossen Vana]

She speed up her pace into a gallop to inspect the tree yonder. It looked safe to her so she unpacked her gear and watered and feed her animals, all were happy to be feed and get a rest. Then after the animals were settled Lossen found a nice spot in the grass and undid her blankets making a plesnet spot to rest.

[Glory]

*shakes her head while she listens to May but dismounts isílme and ties her to a branch* "well, we should eat something..."

[Astaldolosswen]

*goes into a cantor up to the tree May pointed to, and started up a fire, once the others get there she says*
"We can rest and eat up. I can cook that venison if you would like otherwise I will make up some of my own. It's up to you Barakul. Glory, if your sword starts to pulsate, please tell me, because I might be able to solve the mystery about my sword as well. I knew the spell, but as soon as I said it, I forgot it, and maybe we can clean your sword off a slight bit more. I noticed that it was still dirty when it started to pulsate. Lossen Vana, I noticed that your dog was growling and was unhappy when we were traveling, do you think that there might be something wrong with the eagle?"
*goes up to Lossen Vana and waits for an answer. Then says in a whisper so just Lossen Vana can hear her*
"If you think so, don't feel bad. Dwarves I know don't like to ride horses, but if they have to they will. If you think that the eagle is making your dog angry, then I will ask Barakul if he wouldn't mind riding on my horse with me and let his eagle follow us from behind."

[Glory]

*Nods at Astaldolosswen then closes her eyes*

[Barakul]

"No no. Its ok rest up, I love cooking. Now whats this talk about Agulor? He is a fine bird. he was passed down to be by my father. My father found him wile looking for the dark blade along time ago. He was quite the advenuter as far as dwarves go. He met Agulor when he was very young and rased him with me. I let him fly free and call him only when I must. He comes on his oun free will. Oh well, I guess you now know how I know about the dark blade. I might as well tell you the rest then. On is quest my father had traveled far and wide. He had a companion with him his human friend Genrich. I was able to keep in contact with him and record the journeys by sending messanges with Agulor. Now were is it. I alwase keep this one journal enrty of my fathers with me. Ahh here it is."

*Barakul takes out the parchment and reads it aloud to the group.*

"Journaly entry from the Quests of Uzbadul Baruk, second quest for the dark blade."
We are neering the end of our journy. We are closer than we have ever been. Genrich's sword can sence it's evil presense growing. It had been pulsating red for many days now. I know only one object can cause this much evil energies. The Dark Blade. Although I'm glade we will finaly reach it, I'm afraid of what perrils and traps suround it, and what beasts guard the anchent relic. I also fear that my friend Gerich has other plans for the blade. At night he sometimes starts to chant. I'm not sure if it is some sort of an incantation or...maybe something els. When he does this chanting thick dark clouds cover the moon and stars in the night sky, and a thick fog fills the land. I am not sure if this is simply to conseal our ventures or a dark ritual. I have my doubts though. He has not talked to me once about these and keeps them very secret. I have tryed to ask him like by asking him if he was able to sleep. But he alwase replys that he slept peacefuly and fine. I'm starting not to beleave him. No one can sleep well in such a hellish place.

*Barakul folds up the parchment and bows his head in remembrance of his father. There was another part to the journal entry which was not read. It was written for Barakul's eye's only.*

"The next day Genrich found the journal entry and killed my father. Thankfuly Agulor was able to get it and bring it to me. After that I've never known what happened to Genrich. That is why I search for the dark blade. I beleave if I find it I will find him. And then I Barakul, son of axes, shall avenge the death of my father Uzbadul Baruk, lord of axes."

[WarriorMay]

As Barakul read out the entry, May took out her sword and cleaned it. She may have not used it, but she did not want it to become dirty and dull.

The accounts of Barakul's father catches her attention. She is suddenly frozen in a trance.

Genrich's sword can sence it's evil presense growing. It had been pulsating red for many days now. I know only one object can cause this much evil energies. The Dark Blade.

The words repeated itself in her mind. She glanced over to Astaldolosswen and Glory.

"...Barakul...may I see that...?"

[Barakul]

"....I guess if it will help our quest. Please be carful with it, it's quite old...Well come to think of it your all alot older that it."

*Barakul hands May the parchment. He then ghets out some cooking suplies and starts to prepair dinner.*

[Astaldolosswen]

*looked at May and Glory with a serious and worried look in her eyes* *whispers so only May and Glory can hear her* "Do you think Glory that your sword might have belonged to that dwarf Genrich? Where did you find your sword Glory, I need to know."

*turns to Barakul* "I can help you cook that if you will let me. I am an excellent cook when it comes to meat."

*turns back to Glory and May* "I will talk to you in a little while. I will help Barakul cook his venison. Glory, when I'm done, can you tell me everything about your sword and where you found it. We can talk later. I'm not so sure about this anymore."

*goes and helps Barakul cook his venison and makes a little something for on the side*

[Lossen Vana]

OOC: I missed so much!

BIC: Lossen looks over to the other elf then to her dog, then the bird. Mor was still very uptight about the bird and whenever he saw him he let out a growl. Then she whispered to the other elf after a few seconds had gone by.

Maybe the bird has something to do with this blade.

At that moment her dog stopped growling, and come over and licked Lossens hand as if she said the right thing.

I mean he did belong to the father, and it seamed that he knew alot about the blade. I know it sounds stupid but why not let the bird lead a bit?

[WarriorMay]

"A lot older is right." May says with a small grin.

May looks over the parchment with care. She reads over and over. The tale of Barkul's father worries her. She is uncertain of what to do. Should they allow the bird to lead, or follow as Lytra has told them, go south.

She hands the parchment back to Barakul, "Thank you."

Confused and tired May cannot think. There has been much going on, all of it was too much to take in at one time. "Barakul, please, start from how your father found out about the sword. Which direction he may have gone. We need to know everything. Your father's journey will be the key to our success...or failure. There could be many others searching, and we must make sure we are the first to get to it."

[Astaldolosswen]

"Barakul, where did your father get the bird? I mean, it might know the way to get to the dark blade, but May, I think we should stick to the path Lytra sent us on."
*is confused about what to do*

[WarriorMay]

"South is where we shall go, but if there is another route, I want to know about it. This way we know that if someone is searching for it, there is a different path that they might take."

There is much to worry about now. If there happens to be another path, will there be someone else taking it?

May's heart filled with much trouble.

[Astaldolosswen]

*she tries to ease May's worry by saying*
"Don't worry May, if there is another path, we can have someone scout it out to see if anyone else is taking it."
*even though she cannot comfort herself about the same thing*

[WarriorMay]

Her head swam in thoughts. She sat down and rested her forehead into her hands. She kept silent for a while. Thinking hard, but nothing. She just needed to take a break.

"What do you plan to do?" she asks the group. "When you are done with this journey?"

[Astaldolosswen]

"I don't know. I might just go back to my home and help out the King and Queen once again."
*wonders what it will be like after this whole affair*
"Maybe we shouldn't worry about the future, but we should worry about the present. Like, when we get the Dark Blade, how are we to destroy it?"

[WarriorMay]

"I do not know the past about the blade, so that I do not know about." May says, sighing at her own lack of knowledge. "Would someone care to educate me?"

She looks to the ret of the group, hoping someone would know. But seeing as how things have gone so far, that shouldn't be a problem.

[Lossen Vana]

She gose over to comfort the group.

I honestly think that unless Barakul is setting us up (and even though I truely hate dwarfs). I think we should trust him his bird and his fathers paper work to lead us. B, you have any more of your faters writings?

[Astaldolosswen]

"I trust you Barakul, it's just the bird, I like it, but I'm not sure about it. If only Lytra had told us more about the Dark Blade, then when we got it, we would know how to destroy it. Hopefully, we will run into somebody who does know how to destroy it"
*wonders, what if the bird has something to do with it since Lossen's dog doesn't seem to trust it and animals usually know when something is good or bad.*

[WarriorMay]

"We will follow as Lytra has told us. Until I can gain more trust in the bird." she says while looking at the bird. "It is not that I don't trust the two of you. But when an animal doesn't trust another, I take it as a warning."

Irritated by the few facts they have about the blade May lays back and looks at the sky, it is getting dark, they should rest soon.

[Lossen Vana]

Lossen dose the same, her mind on the journey ahead of her. What will happen when they find the DarkBlade and who will be gaurding it? She figured for something this powerful something only as truely powerful would be gaurding it. And if something was gaurding it why wouldn't they then use it. Then a thought crossed her mind what if it were a dragon? Her eyes half shut then she dozed off into a light sleep.

[Glory]

*Glory lays on the grass, far from the others looking at the velvet sky, she is the only one who doesn't seem to be worried about the journey or the future...or how to destroy the blade. She shouts her eyes and smiles* "illusions" *she mutters to herself* "yep...illusions of hope that are easily lost and hard to earn them" *Opens her eyes her face have a sad expression as she were watching a dark end for their quest and she thinks* "one of them shall die...." *her face frowns she closes her eyes and dives in a dark dream *

[Lossen Vana]

As she sleeps she can hear the others muttering and talking. She was a light sleeper, because she was well aware of danger. Then her dog came over and cuddled in with her owner to keep warm. For it was a cold night, with a chilly breaze in the air. She put her arm over him and together they slept hapily together until day break at that point relizing that she hadn't eatten in two days. Getting up early before the rest she begins to cook a breakfast of sausages and eggs (out of her provisons, since they were fresh). Her dog kept trying to steel the food but she wouldn't let him since these were "people food and they only had so much for so many." After cooking she then drained the sasage grease ontop of Mors food. He delightedly ate it up, as Lossen stood watch waiting for the other to awaken.

[Astaldolosswen]

*after Astaldolosswen fell asleep, she started to see dark and foul images of the past and what she thinks to be the future. When she wakes up, she smells the breakfast and she opens her eyes to see who is cooking*
"You are a very good cook. The smell of your food awoke me from my nightmares which I will not discuss now. Might I have a bite to eat, or will I have to cook up my own breakfast?" *she smiles because she is in a bit of a happier mood but knows that she must be serious once they set off again*

[Lossen Vana]

Yea grab a plate there is plenty for all!

She then looks at her dog who seamed give give puppy eyes to the other elf.

And about him don't buy into the I haven't Eaten in days bit.

She laughes at her dog and feeds him abit of her own food.

[WarriorMay]

May has been awake for sometime. With much to worry about, it is hard to fall asleep. She sits up and smiles at the group.

"Good morning, good rest I hope?"

[Lossen Vana]

Looks at May.

It could have been better. It was sure cold last night. If it wasn't for my dog I think I would have froze!

She gets up and pats her horse, who was happily munching on the green grass that was scattered over the land. He let out a soft neigh and then continued to munch.

[Astaldolosswen]

*looks over at May after grabbing herself a bit to eat.*
"I didn't sleep the greatest either. I was seeing too many dark and foul things that I will not tell you now. How did you sleep May?"
*starts to eat some of the sausages that Lossen made, then shudders as one of the dark images creeps back into her mind*

[WarriorMay]

"I have not had a decent sleep ever since I have been on this journey. But this would be the wrost I ever had. I cannot even enjoy a simple rest without having to think about the blade."

May stands up and walks over to Iarbeleth. She gets her pack and says to the others, "I'm going to change my armor. I will just be behind the tree."

She walks around to the other side of the tree and quickly dresses into her armor. She put her old clothes back into the bag and laid the bag beside Iarbeleth.

She now wore a blood red long sleeve shirt. Untop was a heavier leather shirt. It was a lighter shade of red and shorter sleeves. She kept her black leggings and slipped on her finger-cut leather gloves. She grabs her cloack and and wraps it around her cold body. She then takes a leather string and ties her hair back.

"I cannot fight in those old clothes. They are much to beautiful, I wouldn't want to dirty them." she lays back once again and stares up into the sky.

[Lossen Vana]

Smiles and pats her horse somemore, as her dog sneaks up and steels the empty pan and brings it behind a tree and licks it. Lossen then readys her horse and finds her dog. She takes the pan and scolds her dog for stealling it. Then she packs that away. Then mounts her horse. Looking at May she asks,

So are we ready to go? The road looks dangerous and it would be good to start now before the break of day.

Her horse prances on the ground and kicks up dirt.

[Astaldolosswen]

*looks at Lossen*
"Don't you think that we should wait for the others to eat something, even though I feel we should continue as soon as possible, we should wait for the others to eat a little something."
*is worried about the image that came back into her mind and a dark feeling comes over her for a split second. She wavers and then stands up and goes over by her horse Vanya Ninquë and grabbed her pack and decided to put on her older clothes that she usually travels in.*
"I'm going to go change real quick." *She goes behind the tree, just as May did and she puts a mithril chain mail underneath her older clothes and put on a cloak which would hide her on any terrain when it covers her and pulls her back. She puts her bow and arrows across her back and puts her sword at her side. She had on a dark green long-sleeve shirt on and a lighter green t-shirt over it. She put her finger-cut gloves on and then came out from behind the tree.*
"Now I'm ready for a battle. I am pretty good when it comes to a fight, but I'm wondering how tough it will be."
*really starts to worry about what she heard Glory say before she fell asleep and the image comes back into her mind, and feels like she is about to fall over but recovers quickly as she must stay strong. More images come, but she decides not to talk about them.*

[Barakul]

*Barakul was the last to wake. He yawned and slowly got up to the smell of breakfast and the sound of horse's hoves against durt and grass.*

"Mornin ya'll. I hope ya slept as well as me, I have a feeling it's going to be a long day ahead of us. Hey breakfast. You already eat? Looks so. I'll just eat as we go if thats ok."

*Barakul backs his bag up and puts his armor on. He then takes his wistle out and calls Agulor.*

[Lossen Vana]

Lossen looks over at B.

Sorry to say but the only thing left is the stuff that my dog licked but if you want it, it is all for you!

Mor Ros prances behind her master then smelling the food turns back and begs off of the dwarf.

[Astaldolosswen]

"Barakul, where did you get the eagle? I don't exactly trust it as much as I trust you. I mean, when another animal doesn't trust another animal, then there is definately something wrong. I was just wondering if your eagle could follow us while you rode with one of us elves. I would even be the first to offer."

[Glory]

*glory comes back she has been scouting the grounds* "Is everyone ready to leave?" *she pats isílme on the head, then smiles at the others* "Do not worry, that eagle won't hurt us."

[Lossen Vana]

Lossen mounts her horse. His eyes gave off the impression that he was a firey beast unable to be tamed, but his heart was true to Lossen and stood at attention waiting for the comand to leave.
Lossen to waited there like her horse. She wanted to get moving, and if some didn't eat it was because they weren't up early enough. For she wasn't mean it was just she didn't trust the land they were in. And the cold night made her nervous.

[Glory]

*sighs as she mounts isílme*"ohh well if you guys don't mind me and Lossen can go ahead and check the road" *rides to check the road*

[Lossen Vana]

Lossen then pats her horses neck and her begins to make a perfect gate. He walks after Glory. His muscle shine and glimmer. As the horse gets astide Glory Lossen looks over.

What do you think we will find out here?

She said in elfish.

[Glory]

*answers in elvish*
"I've been having a bad feeling since we stopped to rest......this trip will have a ...terrible end. I'm afraid...dark forces are gathering arounds us...be aware anything can happen"
*keeps riding at full speed*

[Lossen Vana]

Nods and anwsers.

It's strange but I have had that same feeling to. To tell you the truth.

Her dog followed behind the great white horse.

[Glory]

*sighs and the replies* "I know the others are sensing the same but they can't identify the source..of it......pure evilness......not coming from that eagle...not... this is a darker foe...." *She suddendly stops and rides inn the opposite way* "Orcs, it has already began " *Isílme rans swiftly almost flying in the ground*
