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

A door creaks open revealing a dark room. Light footsteps are heard across an old wooden floor which groans slightly under the footfalls, and the sound of a match being struck is heard. Suddenly, a small light fills the room to reveal an elf squatting next to the fireplace feeding the fire with logs. The comfortable blaze grows to quite a large size and fills the room with its dancing light. On one long side of the room is a door directly in the middle of the wall, open just a crack and letting in the cold night air. The elf walks from her duties at the fireplace through many chairs and tables towards the door to shut out the cold -- the inn must be warm. Behind the chairs and tables sits a counter with a bar. The elf smiles thinking about the cheer that will soon fill the room. On the other side of the room and on the opposite side from the blazing fireplace sits another fireplace, this one cold and dark. In front of it is an open floor used for dances and parties. At the back of the dance floor is a flight of stairs leading up into the upper levels of the inn where sleepy guests who are needing a nights rest can make their home. The elf walks over to the second fireplace and lights it. The room must be filled with light and cheer, for soon the guests will come. She frowns slightly thinking of the bouncers, bartenders, and musicians she will need. But, they will come. She walks behind the counter and into the kitchen beyond to begin cooking up the special for the night: chicken potpie with mashed potatoes, corn, and sourdough rolls. She checks the supplies of ale, beer, wine, and other drinks and sees that the stocks are well-supplied. The elf, Elenya, is ready for her guests, and she throws open the curtains of the main room to let the cheery light flow outside into the street to invite the guests in.

[Mablung]

The Elf Maegelen strode into the inviting light ready to have a grand night, and was dissapointed to find only the owner inside. "Well this place will hopefully pick up no fun without lots of them. You also seem to be a bit understaffed perhaps I could help I could do with a few extra gold and am quite a skilled bard I am told."

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya leans over the counter and gives the tall elf a long look. "Welcome, master elf!" She says smiling. "You are very welcome here! Might I request your name?" Elenya walks around the bar to its front so she can shake the elf's hand. "And I am sure we can put your talents to good use... perhaps you could compose a song for the Golden Axe?"

[Mablung]

"Oh how rude of me indeed my apologies I am called Maegelen though you may shorten it anyway you wish I do not mind." Then he takes her hand and shakes it. "Im sure I'll be able to compose something but lets start with a drink instead shall we? Whatever you reccommend is find I just need to wet my throat. Oh Im being rude again whats your name?"

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya laughs. "My name is Elenya," then she grins, "just plain Elenya. There'll be no need to shorten it, methinks." She pulls out a stool and offers it to Maegelen. "There. Perhaps I will think up a nickname in the future... you never know!" A mischeivious look comes into her eye. "But for now, what would you like to drink?"

[Mablung]

Maegelen laughed. "Well Im sure you will come up with something interesting to say the least but make no mistake I will hound you until you think of one. Anyway I would have but simple tea if that is ok." While she got the tea he hummed softly examining his surrondings.

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari the Hobbit steps into the cheery new inn and sees two Elves chatting at the counter. The warmth of the fires washes over her and she throws back her hood, revealing curly brown hair and green, bright eyes. "It's good to be back," she says to herself.

The Hobbit walks up to the counter and stands on her toes to try and see over it. "Hello," she says to the Elf behind the counter, "my name is Ashari. Would you be the owner of this lovely establishment?"

[Nenya Evenstar]

Nenya looks up from the hot cocoa she is sipping. "Yes, I am the owner. My name is Elenya. Welcome to the Golden Axe!" She smiles a warm, friendly smile. "Is there anything I can do for you? Perhaps you would be interested in a job?"

[HobbitGirl]

"Well," said the hobbit, "I don't think I would make a good bartender as I can hardly see over the counter. But I can play a bit on the harmonica. I'm afraid that's the only service I can offer you."

[Mablung]

"See Elenya we will have this place a festive hall of music in no time at all!" Maegelen laughed and drank his tea. "And I hardly think another bartender is needed at the moment anyway."

[Nenya Evenstar]

"I think you're right, Maeg," Elenya says with a grin, noting the nickname, "but, Ashari, you are more than welcome to be the first person to make music in this inn! I will be honored to have you play for the guests. You are always welcome to free drinks whenever you wish."

[HobbitGirl]

"Thank you, Elenya!" says Ashari. "A lively tune will attract more customers, don't you think?" The hobbit pulled a small harmonica out of her cloak-pocket and began to play. The tune was indeed a lively one, and it got faster and faster with every verse.

[Mablung]

"Maeg eh?" He mused over this for a moment. "Very well I suppose that it works I've been called many things more than one of them not exactly nice, and this one has been used many times before and all of them good memories I may add so Maeg it shall be!"

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya can barely stop her feet from dancing a little dance upon the creaking floor. Ashari's music puts dance into her very soul. "Maeg," she says, "I'm glad you like it! I think it'll stick... who knows? Maybe even the customers will begin to call you that!" She turns to Ashari and says, "Ashari, I am very glad you chanced this way! Your music is wonderful!" The hobbit smiles.

[Mablung]

"Oh Im sure they will I try and be friendly with everyone so they all should. Mmm yes very good song indeed might I accompany you?" Maeg takes out his lute and picks it lightly until he finds the rhythem and starts playing a different medley that goes in perfect harmony with Ashari's harmonica.

[Éomond]

The door slammed open and a man walked in. A great sword was at his side and a cloak covered his entire body. He removed his hood and smiled gently at the others in the bar. He sat near the counter.
"May I just have a tea? Any will do, as long as it's warm, it's gotten a bit cold outside, as well as myself."
He looked around the bar, inspecting to new place to himself. He just smiled and wait quietly.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya jumps up from the stool she is sitting in and walks behind the bar. "Welcome, good Sir!" She says kindly, "I will get you a nice warm tea up right away!" She disappears into the kitchen for a moment and presently returns with a steaming cup of apple cinnamon tea. "I hope this will do. Do you take sugar or honey? I've brought you both."

[Éomond]

The man smiled at the elf "Thank you very much." He took both, for the two of them tasted wonderful "My name is Éomond. And what would yours be?"

[Nenya Evenstar]

"I am Elenya," Elenya says holding out her hand to her newest guest. "You are very welcome here! This is Maeg, my helper and bard..." Nenya points to Maegelen, "and this is Ashari, the music maker." Nenya nods off in Ashari's direction from whence beautiful music is coming.

[Mablung]

"Ah yes greetings join us here in our small circle. Better than being out in the cold by far."

[Eöl]

Celebrien enters the room with snow encrusted hair and sits down. "Hey everyone, I would love a root beer!"

[Nenya Evenstar]

"Another guest," Nenya whispers to Maeg with a grin, "it seems we are growing!" Then she turns her attention to Celebrien. "Welcome to the Golden Axe! I am Elenya the hostess of this place. I will let Maeg introduce the others while I'm fixing you up a nice fizzling root beer." Nenya walks back into the kitchen to fetch the drink.

[Mablung]

Maeg stopped strumming his lute. "The Hobbit making the whimsical music from the corner is Ashari while the man with the tea is Eomond and I am Maegelen. Pleased to meet you."

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya comes back into the room bearing a fizzling mug of root beer. "Here you are, Maeg!" She says chearfully setting it down in front of him. "Is there anything else I can do for you? Music? Anything?"

[Mablung]

"Ah thank you Elenya but that was Celebrian's." He grinned and slid it down the bar to him. "But thanks anyway though tea is my preferred drink."

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya slumps over in a stool, and slaps her forhead with her hand. "That's what I mean! I really don't know what has come over me!" She turns to Celebrien, "Please forgive me! I did not mean to be rude... it's just that I'm rather slow today and my brain feels like it's filled with fluid."

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari is so absorbed in her music that she didn't notice her friends until after Celebrien had arrived. She looked up and said, "Eomond! Celebrien! Good to see you here! How have you been?"

[Eöl]

"Tis good to see an old friend at the Golden Axe! Ashari and her staff-hobbits fought side by side with me, my archers and my swords-elves in the battle at the White City in our recent rp. A valiant fighter she is, never have I seen such skill with a staff! Thanks for the root beer by the way!" *takes a drink*

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya nods, "You're welcome!" She looks over at Ashari and wonders at the praise she has just heard from Celebrien. Ashari seems so lithe and hobbit-like... it is funny to think of her being a fighter. Elenya grins and turns to her hot cocoa, glad to know that there are people who know each other in the group.

[Mablung]

"The Hobbit staff warriors? You mean our gentle musical Ashari is their head? Oh that must have been a site to see I wish I could have been there for that one." Maeg smiled at Elenya. "At least you can rest easy that this place is safe from marauders with so many prestigous warriors in one place."

[Éomond]

Éomond had finished his tea and looked up and spoke to Maegelen "This time may I have some Apple Cider please?" He looked over to Ashari and Celebrien "It is truly wonderful to see you two agian! Long has it been since we last spoke with each other. I hope you two are both fine. I'm fine as well, thanks to this wonderful tea that has been served here and hopefully the cider as well."

[HobbitGirl]

"I have never been better, Eomond!" said Ashari. "What more could one want than music, a good drink, and old friends?" The hobbit struck up a new tune on her harmonica, one that everyone knew. She played a verse and then sang:

"Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe.
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
And many miles be still to go,
But under a tall tree I will lie,
And let the clouds go sailing by."

[Mablung]

"I do not know Eomond Elenya is our barkeep I am simply here as a patron such as yourself with a bit of music making thrown in for fun."

[Nenya Evenstar]

"I'm glad you liked the tea!" Nenya says with a grin. "Yes, I'm the barkeep... I'll run in and get you a nice cup of Apple Cider. Would you like it hot or cold?" Nenya asks. "Oh, and Maeg! Do you have any new songs to share with us? Have you been composing lyrics in that great brain of yours?"

[Ecthelion]

A tiny hobbit by the name of Tood Muddyfoot slowly walks in, he says to everyone, "Hello my names Todd, I'm the newest Mithril Knight." He looked around at all the faces as he waited to see what their reaction would be.

[Éomond]

"Well!" said Éomond, who was sitting now at the bar table "Another Hobbit among us! Well Todd, 'tis very nice to meet you! I be Éomond, I guess you could call me leader right now, or please, just call me Éomond. Anyway, come, take a seat with us, order a drink of your fancy, we got just about all the drinks in Middle-earth, and the finest each one could be made." After speaking to Todd, Éomond turned to Elenya "I'd like my Apple Cider cold please! And make it my useual."

[Eöl]

"Welcome, little master! How was your journey? Safe, I hope?" asked Celebrien. "Yes, it was a good journey! The roads near here are well guarded." he replied. "Hmm that is good to hear! Have you met Ashari, the one playing the harmonica? She is of your kin, maybe you two are even related distantly!" "I had not noticed another hobbit..." Todd said, "but how do you know her?"
"Ahh that is a tale worth telling! I shall tell you of the fight at Minas Tirith. It was a warm day in Lothlorien and my small army of about 500 was practicing with sword and bow, when I sensed a great danger. I climbed to the top of the tallest tree in the woods and looked South. In the distance I saw great plumes of black smoke rising from Minas Tirith. I knew then that the city was in grave danger. I called together my army, and the next day we set out for the city. We arrived there 2 weeks later, right in the middle of a battle in which Ashari and her hobbit troops were fighting fiercely against the Uruk-Ghash, a new breed of orc. They were in desperate need of aid, so I sent my troops charging into the enemy ranks. The orcs were devastated and pulled back temporarily. We finished off the stragglers and then headed into the city. That's how we met!" he finished. "There is more to the tale about the other Mithril Knights, but it is not my part to tell of their conquests."

[Nenya Evenstar]

"Welcome, Todd!" Elenya toasts him with her glass. "Would you like me to get you anything to drink? Something hot? Something cold? I'll be right back!" She jumps up from her seat at the bar and goes back into the kitchen to get Eomond his apple cider. As she fixes the drink, she hears the sounds of a story drifting in from the outer room. Good! Stories would be good for this inn! Returning to the common room, Elenya sits down and awaits any orders from her customers that may come her way. "Well done, Celebrien! Thank you! That was indeed a wonderful quest from what I've heard of it. I did not have the pleasure of being there. I have only heard snatches of what it was like. The stories are refreshing!"

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari waited until Celebrien finished his tale to greet the new Mithril Knight. "Welcome, Todd! I am glad there is another Hobbit among us. So what part of the Shire are you from?"

[Angoreth]

A soft push on the door, and it slowly opens to reveal a new mithrill knight.A long journey from her elven city, unclear of what to say, a quick nod of the head and a low Hello, she awaits her greetings or her insults.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya looks towards the door, alerted the minute she hears it creaking on its rusty hinges. A woman steps in timidly, looks around, and with a quick "hello" walks slowly towards the bar. "Welcome!" Elenya says with a smile, jumping to her feet, "Is there anything I can do for you? Can I get you something to eat? Something to drink?" She bows her head slightly to show her service. "Anything I can do for you will be done!"

[Mablung]

"Yes indeed do come over here and be friendly. Ill introduce us all our lovely innkeeper is Elenya, our Hobbit friend making the music is Ashari, the more timid Hobbit is Todd, the two large fierce looking men are Celebrien and Eomond but don't worry they are quite personable, and I am Maegelen. There now that we aren't strangers to you anymore might we have your name?"

[Nenya Evenstar]

Elenya grins at Maeg. "Maegelen, is it? Is that how you are going to introduce yourself?" she teases. Turning to her newest guest, Elenya shakes a finger in Maeg's direction. "No," she says grinning bigger still, "call him Maeg. That's how we all call him around here!"

[Mablung]

Maeg sighes. "You have no dramatic flair you know that? Introductions are always better with multiple syllables. We have to work on that."

[Angoreth]

The new guest smiles. Hello My name is Famrill and I'm
an Elf. Hello and Thank you Elenya for your sevices,and hello Ashari,Todd, Celebrien,Eomond and Maegelen. The elf turns to Elenya and say's, I am very hungry from a long journey , what would you say is the special? And I will also be in need of a room. thank you.

[Nenya Evenstar]

An odd expression comes over Elenya's face. Suddenly, it seems as though her eyes take on a sickly look and a slightly yellow hue. "Maeg," she mumbles, "please! Give this good elf her services! I cannot stay... I cannot go on... it is coming...." her words trail off into oblivion and she stands up from her chair and staggers out of the inn as though possessed. The door slams and Elenya disappears into the night. None can find her.

[Dáin Ironfoot I]

Falim laughed at the crazy woman, and ran after her into the NIGHT. (*cough cough*)

He eventually got tired though, and went to his cabin.

[Angoreth]

"Was it something I said? What did she mean by it is coming?" asked the elf, quite startled from the slam of the door. In deep thought the elf takes a seat at the bar. The elf turned to the people in the INN when a few minutes had past and said," I sense some thing in the air, though I do not know what it may be". She turned her head and stared out the window, hopeing that something may reveal itself to her.

[Angoreth]

Later on Famrill is listenig to the music and is starting to feel it move within her, she pulls back her dark blue cloack to reveal a flute that is hanging next to her sword and her bow and arrows.
She remove's the flute from it's hook. She listens to the beat of the music and starts playing. It is a beautiful sound that is flowing in the Inn.

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari's harmonica and Farmill's flute rose and fell in perfect harmony with one another. After a while, Ashari lowered her harmonica and sang:

"Rasishenn
Your words set me free
Like a flame in the dark
Like a wind on the sea.

Rasishenn
You lift the shadow from me
Swift as the ocean
Gentle as the breeze.

I was in doubt and in shadow.
But you lift me higher and higher.
Now I look over the fields
And the people and the mountain
And they no longer trouble me!

Rasishenn
You're the wind in my hair
As I run through the medow
Joyful and fair.

Rasishenn
You have not forsaken me,
And I love thee,
I love thee,
Forever."

[Éomond]

Éomond gave a little smile and clap for Ashari's and Famrill's song. He looked over to Maeg "May I have another cold Apple Cider please."
He then wondered how Elenya was, and what happened to her.

[Mablung]

Maegelen walked in after the ordeal with Elenya and hung black curtains up over the usual bright colors. "Well Elenya did leave in charge of this place, so lets try and continue on shall we?" Maeg then pulled out his lute and began composing a ballad in memory of her stopping to fill drink orders whenever they came up.

ooc: Nenya did tell me I could run this place, so it is official.

[Éomond]

Éomond had been drinking his Cider and listening to the great music being played in the Inn, it reminded him of his happyer childhood in Rohan, every thing seemed so care-free and easy, it felt a little like it here at the Golden Axe. He looked up at Maegelen "If you need any help with any thing, such as a extra bartender or some thing, I'd be glad to help."

[Mablung]

"Thank you Eomond, but as for the moment we do not have enough patrons for me to need any help besides I could always put our lovely hobbit employee to work with something other than music if I wanted."

[Angoreth]

After the song had ended, Famrill turned to maeg.* meag I am quit weary from my travel can you please show me to a room.

[Éomond]

"Maeg, I'd like another Cider please! Keep 'um coming!" Éomond took the last sip of his Cider.

[Nenya Evenstar]

The door swung open and a dwarf staggered into the warm room shaking water from his beard. "Goodness!" he said in a loud voice, "It's raining fit to be tied out there!" The dwarf's voice was not as gruff and deep as most dwarves' voices were but instead held a soft touch. He tramped up to the counter. "Hello!" He announced once more with a laugh, "I am Kilease Ironfoot, wife of Dain Ironfoot...don't know if you've heard of him...but anyway...." her voice trailed off and stopped suddenly. "OOOhhh!!!" she finally commented after analizing the many stares she received, "Yes, I am a female dwarf! We might as well start right there." She grinned and plopped herself down on one of the many bar stools.

[Angoreth]

*Hello Kilease* said famrill.The elf walked towards the bar* I was tired, but now quit awake. where do you come from?*

[Nenya Evenstar]

Kilease smiled. "I come from Erebor and the Lonely Mountain where Dain Ironfoot reigns as king. I have traveled long and far and reached here just in time to save my kinsman Falim! These are dreadful days!" Kilease shook her head and looked towards the bar. "Thank you for the welcome!" she said to Famrill, her mood changing in an instant from contemplating to jolly. "Now, is there any ale to be gotten in this house?" Pulling up her belt and stretching her shoulders, Kilease looked expectantly towards Maeg.

[Mablung]

"Aye much ale to be had." Maeg slid and ale down towards the Dwarf and went back to his lute.

[Angoreth]

*excuse me* said tthe elf to maeg.*but could I have a rasberry tea please if you don't mind?*

[Mablung]

Maeg smiled at the other elf, and put down his insturment. "No of course not I am here for your service would you like it hot or cold?"

[Angoreth]

*cold please* she said with a smile. The elf now turned to Kilease *ahh yes the lonely mouintain, I have traveled through it many a time, it is quit beautiful. so have you any kin?*asked the Elf.

[Mablung]

Maeg nodded then busied himself making the tea and handed it to her with a smile. "Mm yes I do believe I have heard one of my friends speak of this Dain before must be the same one."

[Angoreth]

*Thank you maeg, it tast quit good*

[Mablung]

"Glad it meets your approval m'lady we do aim to please here."

[Nenya Evenstar]

Kilease took one long draught of the ale and let out a contented sigh. "Do I have any kin?" she asked clearing her husky throat, "Of course I have kin!" She grinned when she saw the slight look of shock come into Famrill's eyes. "Aye, kin that I have not seen for many days and kin that I have not seen for many a year! Dain! My dwarf of the Lonely Mountain...." her voice trailed off into silence.

[Angoreth]

* ah, I also have kin I have not seen for many uh years myself,*sigh* I do miss them, but as me they love to travel and go on adventures*.Angoreth now turned and started playing her flute again.

[Mablung]

Maeg sighed with still on his lute accompanying the flute."Yes all of mine have passed on the ships, so I doubt I will ever see them again I have no desire to go that way myself."

[Nenya Evenstar]

Kilease looks at Maeg, appreciation in her eyes. "No desire to go that way, eh?" she enquires lightly, "Are you sure you will still feel that within many year's time? But then perhaps that is too touchy a subject...." Kilease clamps her mouth shut and brushes through her beard with her fingers.

[Mablung]

Maeg smiled and looked down on the dwarf. "Ay I have stayed here long after I was supposed to leave. I have great love for this land and it people, and love does not change or die."

[Angoreth]

Famrill put down her flute and started singing

*An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day:
Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
Her shoes of silver grey.

A star was bound upon her brows,
A light was on her hair
As sun upon the golden boughs
In lorien the fair.

Her hair was long, her limbs were white,
And fair she was and free;
And in the wind she went as light
As leaf of linden-tree.

Beside the falls of nimrodel,
By water clear and cool,
Her voice as falling silver fell
into the shining pool.

Where now she wanders none can tell
in sunlight or in shade;
for lost of yore was nimrodel
And in the mountains strayed.

The Elven-ship in heaven grey
Beneath the mountain-lee
Awaited her for many a day
Beside the roaring sea.

A wind by noight in northern lands
Arose, and loud it cried,
And drove the ship from Elven-strands
Across the streaming tide.

When dawn came dim the land was lost,
The mountains sinking grey
Beyond the heaving waves the tossed
Their plumes of blinding spray.

Amroth beheld the fading shore
Now low beyond the swell,
and cursed the faithless ship the bore
Far from nimrodel.

Of old he was an Elven-king,
A lord of tree and glen,
When golden were the boughs in spring
In fair Lothlorien.

From helm to sea they saw him leap,
As arrow from the string,
And dive into the water deep,
As mew upon the wing.

The wind was in his flowing hair,
The foam about him shone;
Afar they saw him strong and fair
Go riding like a swan.

But from the west has come no word,'
And on the Hither shore
No tidings Elven-folk have heard
of Amroth evermore*

She picked up her flute and began to play again.

[Mablung]

Maeg clapped at the end of the beautiful ballad. "Thats a beautiful song Famril I shall have to come up with something to try and match it." Maeg then bowed down his head thinking of one to sing.

[Angoreth]

*Thank you*she smiled. *but it was not my work, I just sing the Ballad, it was the work Of J.R.R. tolkien himself,he wrote the beatiful lyric's*.she smiled, and went back to playing her flute.

[Mablung]

ooc: This is all IC Tolkien doesn't exist for us

[Éomond]

"That was a very good song Angoreth." Éomond said. "Maeg, how 'bout a ale this time please?"

[Angoreth]

*oh o.k. then, thank you.*Angoreth turned and started drinking her rasberry tea.

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari, after thinking for a bit which song she would like to play next, smiled and looked at the crowd. "How about a battle song?" She struck up a lively but slightly grim tune on her little harmonica, and after a few seconds Maeg's lute and Famril's flute accompanied her. She lowered her harmonica and sang:

"Well the first Battle of Lohan
As I have heard it told
Was fought by a few Kachitas
One from a warrior of old.

And with these wily Kachitas
Were two maidens from afar
Palinta, and Likasevita
Who came from Earth, the star.

They were rescuing the princess
Zesprin was her name
And with skill with sword and bow
She had renowned fame.

But she had been imprisoned
By Pakelans under a spell.
And the nature of this battle
Is what I now will tell.

The little band of rescuers
Came out of the trees
And saw the princess Zesprin's guard
They sank down to their knees.

One by one, they took thier places
And readied for the charge
And Kasi, the Kachita archer
Fired his arrow large.

It flew straight, it flew true
Under a Pakelan arm
And all his comrades saw him fall
They raised up alarm.

With that, the warriors charged
Into the bloody fray
They slew Pakelans left and right
Before the break of day.

The maidens from outside the world
Fought as well as they could
And Palinta, the healer
Found Zesprin in the cabin of wood.

And back to camp the warriors went
And Zesprin went behind
She slew all of her captors left
Any she could find.

So ended the First of Lohan.
But afterwards, they say
A second battle took place there
Much more than just a little fray."

[Angoreth]

when the song had ended Famrill turned to Ashari and said,*That was a beautiful song ashari.* she now turned to maeg and asked* Maeg may I have another Rasberry tea please*she said with a smile.

[Nenya Evenstar]

Kilease cleared her throat huskily. "Now that was a good and proper song!" she practically grunted, "But, I bet the dwarves could have done better in that fight than did these maidens and warriors you speak of!" Pride welled up in her eyes as she looked toward Ashari. "But, it was a wonderful song! Do you care to sing one of my kin? I shall toast you merrily well if you do!"

[Angoreth]

*I would also like to here anothere song*.Famrill turned to rasberry tea and finished it. The Elf waited for another song to start up so she could play her flute.

[HobbitGirl]

"Thank you!" said Ashari after hearing the others' kind comments. "But alas, I do not know any songs that speak of the valiant Dwarves. If I ever am inspired to write a song about you and your race, I will."

[Nenya Evenstar]

A big grin breaks out across Kilease's face. "Perhaps my valiant deeds will inspire you?" She jumps down off the bar seat and twirls around widly for a moment and then stops, her axe flashing into her hands and a vicious snarl on her face. The room becomes suddenly silent until Kilease brakes off into a howling fit of laughter. "See? My kin are valiant...and we can be quite frightening! I see my affect has been good. Yes, we do deserve a song!"

[Angoreth]

Famrill just remembered some thing. she stood on a table and made an anouncement.* my fair people, I have just opened a weapon shop in the Elv's guild please do go and check it out*. she jumped off the table, feeling proud of herself she sat at the bar again. but she coulden't help but notice the look on maeg's face for getting on the table.* sorry*she said now very ashamed. She started up playing her flute again.

[Angoreth]

The elf was wondering why every one was so quiet.she wondered if a song would cheere up the mood. she played her flute to get the tune and began to sing:








troll sat alone on his seat of stone,
and munched and mumbled a bare old bone;
for many a year he had gnawed it near,
for meat eas hard to come by.
done by !gum by!
in a cave in the hills he dwelt alone,
and meat was hard to come by.


up came tom with his big boots on.
said he to troll : pray, what is yon?
for it looks like the shin o' nuncle tim,
as should be a-lyin' in a graveyard.'
caveyard! paveyard!
this many a year has tim been gone,
and i thought he were lyin' in graveyard.'


my lad,' said troll, this bone i stole.
but what be bones that lie in a hole?
thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead,
afor i found his shinbone
tinbone! thinbone!
he can spare a share for a poor old troll,
for he don't need his shinbone.'


siad tom : i don't see why the likes o' thee
without axin' leav should go makin' free
with the shank or the shin o' myfather's kin;
so hand the old bone over.
rover! trover!
though dead he be, it belongs to he;
so hand the old bone over!'


for a couple o' pins,' says troll,and grins,
i'll eat thee too,and gnaw thy shins.
a bit o' fresh , meat will go doen sweet!
I'll try my teeth on thee now.
HEE NOW! SEEE NOW!
i'M TIRED O' GNAWING OLD BOES AND SKINS;
I'VE A MIND TO DINE ON THEE NOW.'


BUT JUST AS HE THOUGHT HIS DINNER WAS CAUGHT,
HE FOUND HIS HANDS HAD HOLD OF NAUGHT.
BEFORE HE COULD MIND, TOM SLIPPED BEHIND
AND GAVE HIM THE BOOT TO LARN HIM.
WARN HIM! DARN HIM!
A BUMP O' THE BOOT ON THE SEAT,TOM THOUGHT,
WOUL BE THE WAY TO LRAN HIM.


BUT HARDER THAN STONE IS THE FLESH AND BONE
OF A TROLL THAT SITS IN THE HILLS ALONE.
AS WELL SET YOUR BOOT TO THE MOUTAIN'S ROOT,
FOR THE SEAT OF THE TROLL DON'T FEEL IT.
PEEL IT! HEEL IT!
OLD TROLL LAUGHED,WHEN HE HEARD TOM GROAN,
AND KNEW HIS TOE COULD FEEL IT.


tom's leg is game, since home he came ,
and his bootless foot is lasting lame;
but troll don't care, and he's still there
with the bone he boned from it's owner.
doner! boner!
troll's old seat is still the same,
and the bone he boned from it's owner!



the song ended and she felt quit proud that it had come out so nicly. * may I have an ale please*.

[Angoreth]

when se had finsihed her drink, she said.* I think I'll go on a walk*.And with that she stood up and went.

[Angoreth]

the rom the outside* it's quit cold outside but I love cold rain*

[Mablung]

Maegelen walked out after her rejoicing in the rain. "Ah that twas a beautiful ballad I'm glad you saw fit to grace my humble inn with it's presence."

[Angoreth]

*I am glad you liked it,it ws a pleasure to sing it.*then she twerled around and then stopped suddenly from dizzyness.

[Mablung]

Maegelen laughed. "Whoah there." He caught her under the arms as she began to fall and put her back onto her feet. "You have a lovely voice I may add. And I am qualified to say so I am a bard, or used to be though I do not sing much anymore."

[Angoreth]

*Thank you* she said as he helped her up.* Thank you for your compliment. why don't you sing any more, I would love to here you sing.*

[Mablung]

Maeg sighed and lay against the side of the Inn enjoying the feeling of the cold water on his skin. "Ay, I'm sure a great many would. But I have just lost my inspiration all my singing is souless without a source of inspiration. Once I find that I will be sure your one of the first to hear the newest of my songs."

[Angoreth]

*Oh I am sorry,I know howyou feel*.she said leaning beside him looking at the ground.*well I know one thing that would cheere me up*, then she said with a smile,*msic,music is the best inspiration, why don't we go in and dry off and I'll sing a song and yo play your lute,ay? but befor we do try spinning it is fun* she said with a big smile wanting to see maeg spin.

[Mablung]

Maegelen smiled at her. "Ok sounds like a plan. Give the customers music like they have never heard before! But first I wil honor your wish and spin though I cannot remember doing so before." He then stood up and with a quick smile he began to spin around for a few minutes until he stumbled around barely keeping his balance, and not wanting to fall in the mud.

[Angoreth]

ghed hard in seeing maeg spin to her delight. but she saw him stumble and tryed to help but she fell on her knee's*oh well,I tryed, you spin good*, she said with a hard laugh.the two went in and dryed off a bit,Famrill went and got her lyric's as maeg went and got his lute.* this will be a night to remember* she said with a smile as she looked at maeg*then she began:



A Elbereth Githoniel,
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!


then she ended and began again with a more light harted song:



Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the cornor we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.

Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
Anew road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the moon or to the sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut, and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!


Home is behind the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight,cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

[Mablung]

Maeg played along with her happily filling the room with beautiful music. When she was done he felt something well up inside of him. Then he let it spill forth in the form of song sung in a beautiful voice.
"Along the Night
There shines a Light
Of Love not Meant to Be

The Golden Fruit Anar
Carried across the sky to the far
By the Beauty of Arien

The Silver leaf of Isil
So the light in night is not killed
Carried by the wandering heart of Tilon

The love of him for her

Was not meant to be

Doomed to roam their course for all eternity..."

After he finished he put down his lute and smiled. "I know not where that came from, but I hope it was acceptable."

[Angoreth]

*It was not acceptable...it was more then that is was very very well done.see music helps the soul* she said with a grin.*well any more out burst like that and people will have to pay to listen to you* she said with an even bigger grin.

[Mablung]

Maegelen laughed and returned the smile to here. "Between you Fiara and myself people really should be charged to come in and listen to us. Lets hope I can do that again though it may have just been a moment of insight." Maegelen sighed, and he was a bit depressed at the thought.

[Angoreth]

Famrill heard his sigh, "you look tired maegelen,do you want me to get you something?, I did work at an inn once befor."

[Mablung]

Maeg smiled at her realizing he was tired suddenly very glad she was here at the moment. "Why yes I think something to drink would do me good. I trust you enough to get something since your more intune to what my condition is then I am."

[Angoreth]

she smiled at her tired friend"then I think I shall make you somethingof mine which no one know's the secret to it has athelas in it, I'll be right back"with that he then went behind the bar and into the other room. She was gone for a few minuts then poped back out from behind the bar wit two drinks" I hope you don't mind I got an ale for myself" she said as she handed him his drink.

[Mablung]

Maeg sniffed the drink wonderingly enjoying the scent before turning back to her. "Not at all drink to your heart's content or your body's end. Which ever comes first." Maegelen then took a long drink from the mug. The taste was unlike any he had ever tasted, and he loved it. "I would ask how you made this, but a drink like this is always a secret. Thank you it twas a perfect choice."

[Angoreth]

"Thank you" she said quit content from his thought of her drink.then she took a nice big drink of her ale"woo, i think i am begining to feel your wearyness" she luaghed softly. She took a look around"this place will be remembered for years to come" she said with a content sigh."well" she said pondering on a question that had not yet revealed itself to her."oh well, have you any question's for me? " she asked while she too another drink of her ale

[Mablung]

Maegelen also felt as if there was something waiting to be said, but would not yet manifest itself in his mind. So he momentarily forgot about it, and tried to think of something specific to ask her. Finding he really knew next to nil about her. "Why don't you just tell me a bit about yourself. I know next to nothing which is less than I'd like too."

[Angoreth]

she laughed softly.then she replied" well, I love to travle and go on adventures,I love weapons as you can tell when you go to weapon weilder in the guild of elvs,umm... I love to visit all of the different inn's adn talk to people and listen at the same time, which is hard" she said with a smile" I love horses and most things like that, what about you" she asked as she took another drink.

[Mablung]

Maegelen returned her smile. "Well Im glad you stumbled across this one and joined us. Anyway I simply enjoy roaming this world, and meeting all of its peoples. Some people have said Im on a quest for something that can't be found. I myself do not think I'm looking for anythin, or if I am I have no awareness of it. So I wander from place to place battling evil where I may and making friends where I can."

[Angoreth]

*I under stand.* she said with a smile,then she yahned"sadly I think I must retire for the night could we pick up our conversation another time I would love to continue this"she said wtha smile,as she finished her drink.

[Mablung]

Maegelend smiled then nodded and went behind the bar. He slid her a set of keys from behind the counter. "You may stay in this room then. Have a good night sleep and I shall see you in the morrow."

[Angoreth]

"thank you"she said as she took the key's"may you have peace when you rest she said as she bow'd low to him, I till would like o continue our conversation later" then she waved good by and left the room, with the music still running in her head she sang one last song so maeg could here it:



A Elbereth Githoniel,
silivren penna miriel
o menel aglar elenath!
Fanuilos, le linnathon
nef aear, si nef aearon!


she ended.

[Mablung]

"So would I." Maegelen smiled and began to close up the bar listening to her beautiful voice as she left him for the upstairs where everyone else was already resting. As he was heading to his own room he strummed his lute in an entirely new tune that rang throughout everywhere in the building. He felt his inspiration slowly returning as he lay himself down to sleep for the night.

[Angoreth]

Famrill woke with the sun in her eye's from the window. Famrill lay there for a few minuts to see if she was ready to go down stair's, and she found she was quit hungry, so she got up got ready and went down stairs.

[Angoreth]

When Famrill had reached the bottom of the stair's she looked around "hhhmmm....no ones awake,I'll make breakfast." and with that she hopped behind the bar and went in search of egg's and bacon.

[Mablung]

Maeg was awakened by the smell of breakfast and hurried downstairs. When he got there he found Famrill making some food. "Looks good make sure to make a lot." He flashed her a quick smile and went around the Inn unlocking doors and windows.

[Angoreth]

"yes sir" she answered as a soldier to there captian as she returned the smile."hhmmmm." she thought to herself" I wonder where the sage is?"

[Scatha]

Farathorn entered the inn, just as Famrill spoke her reply. The peredhil looked towards her and grinned, before he headed to a table nearby that of Maegelen. The half elf stands 5'11" tall and has a broad shouldered build, which isn't too overly muscular.

By his appearance he had travelled for quite some time, with dust covering the once darkgreen cloak. His tanned skin revealed him to be used to the life outside, but the scent of freshly baked food lured him inside. As he seated himself, he carefully moved his two swords in such a position, that they wouldn't hinder him.

"By all means, would you be so kind as to serve me some of those great smelling eggs as well? I have travelled a long way and could do with a decent meal."

He observed Maegelen as he spoke to her, from the corner of his eyes. He bowed slightly towards the man and awaited the answer from the maiden.

[Mablung]

Maegelen nodded to his friend. "Sure thing, but since you are not a member you will have to pay for it since it is still my food my all."

[Scatha]

Farathorn nodded towards Maegelen and grinned as he replied to him.
"I am quite accustomed to be paying for my food, even though I might not look like it right now."

The peredhil loosened his cloak and draped it over a nearby chair, then turned to the man again.

"I believe we haven't been introduced yet. My name is Farathorn, might I enquire about yours?"

[Mablung]

Maeg laughed and did a sweeping bow."Well if you have money you are always welcome here. Anyway I am Maegelen the bard and proprieter of this bar. I am also a member of the Mithril Knights as are most of my patrons."

[Angoreth]

The "maiden" asked Farathorn" how do you like your egg's my lord" she said sarcasticly with a grin. " and would you like bacon with that?what about you maeg?"she turned to to get some plates.

[Angoreth]

"and sence maeg didn't introduce us"she teased with a grin." I am Famrill also a member of the mithril knight's"

[Scatha]

Farathorn smiled at both of them, then relaxed slightly in his seat. He pondered briefly, then answered Famrill first.
"The eggs well done, with bacon please. It is a pleasure meeting you both, or as some say: Mae govannen."

He turned his attention towards Maegelen and quirked a brow.
"The Mithril Knights are of good standing among my people, the Dunedain. Now I can tell them they are hospitable as well. I'll let them know there's an open door for them, if you don't mind?"

[Angoreth]

Famrill brought Farathorn his food."any thing to drink with that?" she smiled.

[Mablung]

Maegelen waved his hand dismissivly. "You take a seat Famril and I'll get the drinks people will start thinking this is your inn." He then walked around the bar and poured each of them a tall glass of milk and put one in front of each of the plates.

[Scatha]

Farathorn eyed the milk, then bursted into laughter, as he tilted his head slightly towards the two others.

"Don't tell me I look like a thirsty calf." The half elf commented with a grin on his face.

[Mablung]

Maegelen shrugged. "Its the best thing to go with breakfast, and I do not serve alchohol this early so drink up."

[Scatha]

Farathorn shaked his head slightly at Maegelen, then elaborated his intent.

"Who spoke of alcoholic fluids? I meant something like nectar or a drink containing pressed fruits."

He pointed at the milk and shrugged.
"Then again, I just might give this a try."

[Angoreth]

"I have no problem with milk" she said with a grin and drank away.

[Mablung]

Maegelen shook his head while eating his food. "No fruit around here stays fresh enough to make decent juice. The winters are too long and cold so drink up. Also thanks for the support Famrill its nice to know someone is on my side."

[Angoreth]

"it tis fine maeg, milk is good for the bones and so on so forth." having finished her food she got up and put it in the sink" is it to early for music I feel liek playing?"

[Mablung]

Maegelen got up and put his things in the sink then looked straight at her. "My dear friend it is never too early for a lovly song."

[Scatha]

Farathorn grinned as he followed the example set by the others, after he finished his meal.

"I think Maegelen is correct, Famrill. My elven relatives would certainly agree to it."



OOC Sorry you two, but come tomorrow I will be busy moving into my new apartment. I hope to be back in a little while.... and running on adsl. :)

[Theoden_king]

Theoden pushed open the doors of the inn and slowly made his way to the bar, "I am Theoden King of the Riddermark and member of the guild of Mithril knights" he introduced himself. His attention was quickly turned to the milk before him "if I could trouble you for a glass it would be greatly appreciated, I have come from the battle arena and I am weary, milk strengthens the body and I need all my strength"

[Angoreth]

"o.k. by lord caelin" waves good bye."


"and Hello theoden king, how does your day treat you?."

[Theoden_king]

"The day is still young but all looks promising inside this inn. But come you know my names but none of you have introduced yourselves" He flashed a quick smile at everyone in the room

[Angoreth]

" I am Famrill" Hubmle bow,"and maegelen pretty much introduces himself,quite friendly he is"she said with smurk.

[Mablung]

Magelen laughed. "Too friendly am I? I can be mean if you want me to be."

[Angoreth]

"no thats not what I meant, I meant it in a good way a vrey good way"she said looking at him not wantin him to change.

[Mablung]

Maegelen smiled back and winked. "Very well don't you think about changing either."

[Angoreth]

"who me"she said with a grin,"never I shall always be annoying"she luaghed.

[Mablung]

Magelen pointed to the dishes. "You are many things including a good cook, but if you were annoying you would be out on the street at the moment. Luckily you aren't so stay as long as ye wish."

[Angoreth]

Famrill whipes swaet from forhead" thank you then, now for that song, i was gonna sing I think I shall speak some poetry instead" she said thinking hard.

[Mablung]

"Ah a song without the music. I look forward to it may your muse guide you."

[Angoreth]

"guided I shall be"she said confusing herself.

[Angoreth]

oh well here is the poetry:



the poetry here has been removed for editing, Thank you.


when she had ended she turned to mablung"sadly enough I must go visit my elven city for a while I shall be back be befor night fall"and with that she waved good be to mablung and nodded to theoden king, then went to her room got her stuff and went.

[Mablung]

Maegelen nodded hearing the beautiful poetry. "I shall see thee when you return then fare well."

[Nenya Evenstar]

Kilease stumbles up from her bar stool and starts to staggar towards the door, obviously drunk. "I'll be back in a couple nights," she slurs out of dulled lips. "Sweat dreams!" A cold gust of wind blows in from the open door and ends with a slam as the door bangs shut. Uneven footsteps are heard outside the windows and then slowly fade away.

[Angoreth]

Famrill, is on her way back to the inn and spots kilease staggaring."Do you need any help getting home or where ever?"

[Angoreth]

Kilease said " no thank you, A dwarf can make it home without any help from an elf, good night"Famrill shrugges her shoulders" good night Kilease" she then turned and headed toward the inn. After an hour she had reached the inn, quite warm and welcoming it looked.She was as quiet as she could be not to wake any one.

[Mablung]

Maegelen looked up from behind the bar where he was serving drinks to a group of customers talking amongst themselves he looked up when he heard the door open. "Theres no need to be quiet Famril no one goes to sleep this earlu around here."

[Theoden_king]

"Maegelen another drink down here if you would" Theoden then turned in surprise as Famrill had walked straight behind him without a sound. "The elves should announce when they enter a room so as not to scare a man to death" he jokingly said to Famrill with a smile.

[Angoreth]

" Hello theoden,sorry" she said with a smile"and hello Maeg" she said as she sat down next to theoden and layed her head on the Table, then she lifted her hand and asked maeg for an ale please." it was a long journy I am surprised I made it back.

[Jesse]

*Jesse rides his horse Eneaim up to the front of the Golden Axe Inn. He ties the rope around the stand and combs his hair and walks inside. Inside he sees many people talking and notices an empty booth. Letting out a sigh, Jesse walks to the booth and begins to think of his parents. He is looking for them. They abandoned him as a kid and now that he's a Mithril Knight, he wants information on their whereabouts and their names....*

[Theoden_king]

"It's quite alright" Theoden said to Famrill "even when they are weary the elves walk as though on air". Theoden turns and notices Jesse seeking for someone in the Inn "hello stranger I am Theoden" He waved his hand towards Famrill "My weary elf friend is Famrill."

[Angoreth]

raises a hand," Hello jesse" but then raises her head in confusion."who are you looking for?" she said as if in a daze.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks up to the strangers and smiles.

"Hello there. My name's Jesse. Nice to meet you sirs. I am looking for my parents. The only thing I know of them is they were knights. Perhaps you could help me?"*

[Theoden_king]

"well unless your parents were a king of Rohan and an elf, I don't think you will find them here, could you give a description of them and I will help you find them" Theoden said

[Jesse]

*"All I remember about them was that they had dirty brown hair like me, deep blue eyes, & were short. Other than that, I can't say I remember much else...."*

[Angoreth]

" I shall help you also, for I see figures that will not take shape in my mind" she said as she fingered her glass ring.

[Jesse]

*Jesse looks at his three new friends and smiles. It is good to know someone will help him look for his parents. Now he won't be lonely.

"Thank you Theodon, Angoreth, and Famrill. It means alot that you will help me look for my parents. In return, I'll offer you my protection. For I am a renowned swordsman and healer."*

[Theoden_king]

Theoden rose to his feet "I cannot promise you elf eyes or any such powers, however I can promise to do whatever it takes to find your parents, but where should we look?" Theoden asked, realising he had no idea where to start

[Mablung]

"Parents eh? Well thats bad business. How long have they been missing."

[Angoreth]

Famrill stood next to theoden,"You have my bow and my sword, and my glass ring." she said as she thought this sounded like she has heard it from some where befor.




Agoreth stood next to the two and pledged her allience with jesse." you also have my keen eye's and sword and any thing else I carrie."


OOC: I think I am a skistofrentic.lol

IC: four members so far, what shall our fellowship becalled?" Famrill said as she looked at the other three. and yes how long have they gone missing? sorry maeg, didn't mean to interupte you"she said as she sat back down.

[Jesse]

*Jesse smiled. For once in his life, he found his sense of belonging. People were helping him look for his parents. The Knight smiled and sat back and thought for a few minutes. His parents abandoned him on the streets when he was 2 months old. He nearly starved to death, but strength kept him going. Now as he looks back on his childhood, he realizes it is faith that has kept him alive.

"I suggest we call our fellowship the Fellowship of the Seekers. I know it sounds corny, but we all are seeking something. For me, it's my birthparents. I don't know what the rest of you are seeking, but it must be something. Again, you all have my sword and bow. Plus you have my healing powers. I don't remember my parent's names, just their descriptions. How they looked, their occupation, and where they lived. They lived in Gohan I believe. Perhaps we should head there to look for them?"*

[Theoden_king]

"Then it is settled, we will make for Gohan after everyone is rested, I am feeling at full strength and will leave whenever the rest of the fellowship is willing" Theoden unsheathed Herugrim and stood silently staring at it for a minute "I hope we do not have too much trouble on our quest but I shall be ready for battle"

[Jesse]

*Jesse sits down on the ground and nods his head. The Fellowship would be moving soon. Soon, he would find his birthparents. Soon, he would be reuinted with his family. Jesse laid down on the cold floor and shut his eyes. When the Fellowship of the Seekers were ready to go, he'd wake up instantly....*

[Angoreth]

Famrill said softly " I am seeking adventure".



Angoreth said in a whisper "I am seeking a place of belonging".


OOC: just so you know Famrill and angoreth are sisters, thought i should say that.:D


IC: Famrill walked over to jesse and taped him on the shoulder" you know, we have inn's in this place you dont have to sleep on the floor." she said willing to help him up.

[Mablung]

Maegelen played a soft haunting tune during the whole conversation. "I regret to inform you I cannot come. I have duties here to attend to this Inn also serves as barracks for the Knights so it is not easy for me to simply take off. However I will send word to a friend who will meet up with you at some point since I'm sure you could use another companion. And leave him alone Famrill he's already asleep and will be better rested if we don't wake him up." They all then retreated to sleep having a good night of rest. In the morning they woke to find Maeg having put breakfast out for them and supplies packed for them.

[Theoden_king]

*Thedoen bowed low upon finding the packs and the food* "Thank you Maeg, it will be a shame to leave this inn but we must go soon. When the others are up we should prepare to leave" *With this Theoden sat at the table of food but did not start eating until the others had joined him*

Once I'm accepted, I'll be the friend to meet them if you don't have anybody yet.

[Mablung]

ooc: I do sorry.

[Elf-Archer755]

Ok. Just wondering.Thanks anyway!:)

[Angoreth]

Famrill came down the stairs and saw al that maeg had prepaired" Maeg thank you, you did not have to do this, I am greatfull to you." se said as she walked up to the little group of people.*SIGH*" I will miss this inn, but I will return, you can't get rid of me that easily" she said with a sad smile.

[Mablung]

Maeg clasped her hand happily and smiled. "just take care of yourselves and you will be fine I doubt none of your abilities." He then let go and turned to the others. "As for my replacement. I will send word to an ally to meet you in Gohan or before if he can manage it. I will actually send a request to two of them one will be able to go surely or they may both decided to find you its their choice. Look for the mark of Heren Istarion or the mark of a Ranger. And if any of you come to harm I will come after them so they will be committed to the cause. Now you should go quickly. The road ahead is long and our lives shorter than we would like."

[Angoreth]

" Thank you maeg onc again"she said as she put her sword in her sheath"may many customers come to this inn," and to see it don I will send my cousin here you will know her for she look's like me" she said as she went outside and mounted her mustang.


OOC: I know I am supossed to be going on a journy but I just can't leav the inn it is to close to me,plus I told my frind about this place and want to be here when she post's.


IC:may you fair a good journy maegelen"she said as she turned and went with the others.

[Mablung]

Maegelen nodded. "And what shall she be named?"

[Angoreth]

She turned her horse and said with a smile"Lamerend, Her name is Lamerend. She has long gold hair like me and a thin face with grey eye's that some time glow blue when she is angrey,like me, we are much alike.Good bye Maegelen"she said as she turned and rode away.

[Mablung]

Maegelen waved as they all rode off depressed. "I do wish I could go with them. All of my friends have departed. This shall be depressing for a good while." Maegelen then went back inside and began to clean the plates they had all eaten off of lowly without much conviction.

ooc: Where will you guys be making the RP thread? In the guild space or one of the RP spaces?

[Angoreth]

OOC: I have no Idea I thought with jesse being the leader and all he would think of it

IC: An Elf in a green cloak inters the inn"Is this the golden axe inn my cousin was telling me about"she said as she looked around.She turned to maegelen" Are you the bar keeper, and does this place have a stable?"she said walking up to him.

[Mablung]

ooc: Ok I just didn't know if he had talked to anyone about it.

Maegelen looked up from serving ale to a few guests. "Ah yes you must be Lamerend. Welcome I am Maegelen though you may call me Maeg. I am a bard and owner of the inn. Your cousin was right you do look a lot like her though I didn't expect you for another day or so. I hope you can provide as good of company as she did. With everyone gone it has become quite lonely here. As for the stable you may find it out back. All supplies are there, but you must be doing the caring for your steed yourself I'm afraid. Your cousin also has a room upstairs which you may use in her absence or take your own."

[Angoreth]

" AHH,thank you." she then went and took care of her steed.Then about thirty minuts later she came back in."may I have an ale please and is smoking aloud?, and thank you for the room. I come from mirkwood it was a long journy, I would like to get to know but for now it seems after I finish my ale I must get sleep first so I wont forget every thing you say"she said with a smile

[Mablung]

Maegelen returned the smile and slid an ale to her. "Ay you may smoke if you wish it is well ventilated." He then gave her a key to her room. "Theres also plenty of time to get to know eachother so worry not." He then went about sending the other customers out and closing the inn for the night.

[Angoreth]

Lamerend woke, then went down stairs and sat at the bar.

[Mablung]

Maegelen looked up from opening the windows as Lemerend came down. "Good morning want some breakfast? Ill make it as soon as I finish opening this place up."

[Theoden_king]

A man rode up to the golden axe inn, he was fair of face and had long dark hair. He opened the door to the Inn and bowed low "hello fellow travellers my name is Thenedor. It is too early for ale but prehaps I could have something else to drink?" Thenedor smiled at the other two people in the bar

[Angoreth]

Lamerend bow'ed low to Maegelen and Thenedor."yes something to drink would be nice, milk would suit me quite nice." she said as she sat down at the bar."if you should need any help I would be willing to offer my services"She said watching maeg open the window's.

[Mablung]

Maegelen poured some milk giving it to his customers and busied himself making breakfast behind the counter with breakfast. "Surely I could use some help. Your cousin did things here and there and it was of great help. The wages are fair and the work is easy. All you'll need to do is help fill the drink and food orders all the supplies you will need are back here."

[Angoreth]

"Thank you", she said as she took a long drink of milk. thenedor where do you come from?" she said as she looked at the milk with content.

[Theoden_king]

"I am from the white city, Gondor." replied Thenedor He smiled and Maeg and thanked him for the milk then he turned to Lamerend
"Now that you have offered to help at this inn I will take the honour of being the first customer you serve, some breakfast please, the journey has been long and tiring"

[Mablung]

"Unfotunatly Lamerend has already stolen that title from anyway breakfast will be up soon."

[Theoden_king]

"I meant now that Lamerend has taken that position she can get me some breakfast but I will wait until it is set out whatever time that is, but tell me what will we be having for breakfast?"

[Mablung]

"Oh I've already busied making it so Lamerend doesn't need to worry I just need her when there are too many customers for myself to handle. Anyway I believe eggs and bacon are the order of the morning."

[Theoden_king]

"Excellent, well Lamerend seen as there is nothing for you to do for a while will you not sit and talk the morning away? And Maeg whenever you get a moment free I would very much enjoy it if you would sit and talk with us as well"

[Mablung]

"All my work is behind the bar so I will be here for any discussions that happen."

[Angoreth]

" well I love talking, but by tonight my lips will be talked of"she said with a smile."what shall we talk about?"she said as she turned to Thenedor and looked at maeg.

[Mablung]

"Well none of us know much about eachother lets start there. I was born in Rivendell upon its founding. From there I roamed the world never yearning to go to Valinor. Thus I have stayed here to fight along the peoples that I love so much."

ooc: Vote on the poll too.

[Theoden_king]

OOC: I voted on the poll

IC: "As I have said before I am from Gondor, I became captain of Gondor when my father was slain in a great war against the dark lord my company and I have fought in many battles defending Osgilliath, we lost the bridge into that city to the enemy 4 nights ago but managed to win it back and drive the orcs out. Gondor can rest for a while but it will not be long efore a fresh attack is launched on us"

[Angoreth]

"well if there is need for war in gondor, I will gladly go." she said as she put her hand on thenedors shoulder then removed it to take a drink of milk." well I am from mirkwood I have travled many a year for something to do, but have found nothing so I find my self going to battle arenas and offering my sword in war and in the meantime I go to inn's but I stay long at ones I like." she said as she took another drink of her milk.

[Theoden_king]

"There is no need for a war, we are safe for a little while, and I would not like to bother you kind folk with my troubles. The men of Gondor do not ask for assistance, we have always had trouble on the borders of our lands, no doubt we always will but let us speak of merrier things and merrier times"

[Angoreth]

"okey then" she said as she finished her milk." what of your steed, what is it's name?"

[Theoden_king]

"My steed is a gift from the lands of Rohan, Quickfoot is his name, a fast and strong if not a little greedy at feeding time" Thenedor said with a laugh "Prehaps before we both take leave of this inn you will ride on him and see how well he fares?"

[Angoreth]

" your steed sounds as noble as you my good friend, and you should also try mine he is a wonder to middle earth no one knows where he came from but he rides far and fast and has great site, a true friend to the nd he is, but a bit over protective" she said with a laugh.

[Theoden_king]

Theoden smiled and sat back to drink his milk "but tell me of your homeland Lamerend, I have heard little of the land of the wood elves save that Mirkwood is a dark and evil place. How can one live there and still bring such high spirits?"

[Angoreth]

" I would be glad to tell you of my home land thenedor. Why pople say it is dark is beyond me but I guess that it is only trespassers that call it dark" she said with an evil smile" I am sister to legolas green leaf, I am princess of the elven city to mirkwood, I have left to explore new realms and city's,but I shall never stop visitin my home realm I would miss it to much not to, very good ale you know. Speaking of ale may I have an ale please maegelen it is past lunch time and the hour would do great with some of you ale I hear so much about." she said with a smile." The realm of my city is white with precious jeawels, my father thranduil favours them you know.And what of you city Thenedor and of yours maegelen?

[Mablung]

Maegelen gave Lamerend her ale. "I was born in the city of Imaldris. It simply felt like home its grandeur wasn't in it's building. But rather in its setting. Unlike most elven cities it was not in a forest rather in a valley on a river. It was beautiful indeed as Lord Elrond maintained it that way. But those days are long gone. This is my home now."

[Angoreth]

"Ah thank you" she said as she took a big drink of ale."It sounds like a really beautiful place my friend."she said as she looked with satisfaction at the ale.

[Theoden_king]

"Gondor is now a beautiful place, thanks to our king Elessar, I am no stranger to your brother, Lamerend he is a great hero in our city and he is a friend to our king. We have seen very little of Legolas Greenleaf in these days but any kin to him would be most welcome in the white city and be housed as good as royalty" Thenedor sat back with a smil "I have never visited Rivendell or Mirkwood but now that I have heard you two speak of them I feel I have missed something special"

[Angoreth]

" you have not missed, there is always time to visit the great city's of our people and friends"she siad as she took another drink of ale.

[Theoden_king]

"However I don't think I will see either in my lifetime"

[Angoreth]

"You could hear Lamerends horse in the background makeing much noise,Lamerend got up and walked outside and and go out of sight.Then you see through the open door Lamerends Horse run by,Lamerend walks back in."sorry he gets upset when tied to long."she said as she sat back down.

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor laughed and said "I too would get upset if I were tied up to long" Thenedor finished his milk and then turning to Maegelen he said "Could I have an ale please?"

[Legolaschick]

Vanaanooniel walked in. She went over to the bar, "Can I please have have a Dr. Pepper, and a little bread too?" After getting the order she went a found a table in the corner. Sitting down she pulled a small book out of her coat pocket and a pen. She then started writing.

[Angoreth]

Ello and welcome Vanaanooniel. Please come sit next to me and my friend thenedor, he does not bite, well I do not know that for certaint I have never seen him drunk"she said with a smile."and this kind sir behind the bar is maegelen"she said as she pointed to maeg.

[Legolaschick]

"Why thank-you," said Vanaanooniel. As she got up put her book and pen away and picked up her food. she sat down next to Angoreth and her friend.

[Angoreth]

"oh sorry, I am Lamerend though, but just as happy to meet you."she said as she bow'd her head to her new friend.

[Legolaschick]

"Oh, I'm sorry." Vanaanooniel said bowing her head.

[Angoreth]

"quite alright"she said as she took a drink of ale" what was that book you had?If I may ask?"she said as she tok once again another drink of ale.

[Theoden_king]

"Full of questions today aren't you Lamerend, and I am no less friendly when I am drunk..I think" Thenedor said with a smile he then turned to Vanaanooniel "welcome I am Thenedor" he said and bowed his head

[Legolaschick]

After bowing her head to Thenedor. She looked at Lamerend, "It is a journal, I wright in it when I go to a new bar or inn. I would like to open my own sometime." She said smiling.

[~*Grey Haven*~]

Suddenly, the door creaked slowly open. In the doorway stood a dark figure,clothed in an elven cloak. As the figure entered the room, a slight glow seemed to brighten the dark hall, but it quickly dissapeared. The figure moved slowly toward the fire,but stopped short at the table where Lamerend and Theoden were sitting. In the flickering fire light, only the bright eyes and tip of the nose were visible behind the hood of the stranger. Then, it collapsed on the floor, just in front of Lamerend. Lamerend moved to the stranger's side to see if he or she was all right. Removing the hood she gasped. It was her friend and apprentice Grey Haven. She was "weary with sorrow and much toil." Her blond hair was tangled and matted and she held a bag of blue and silver silk clenched tighly in her hand and a small pack on her back. Her swords and bows were nowhere to be found. Eventually she regained conscousness and told her story.:eek:

[Angoreth]

"Well my friend grey haven I wish I could have been there for the action"she said with a smile as her friend awoke in a bed,"now where is your horse or was he eaten"she said as to lighten the mood"well it seems I have missed a great battle, but after breakfast you shall tell me and I will introduce you to my friends" she said as she went and asked maeg for some bacon egg's and milk, then brought it up stairs to her weary friend"I have you horse in the stabble I went looking for him last night"she said as she helped her friend sit up"You will love the my friends down stairs the are very nice and welcome any one, I have to go downand eat my own breakfast. Come down soon"she said with a nod and a wink then left the room. when Lamerend had reached down stairs she sat at the bar."maeg may I have some breakfast please?"she said as she layed her head on the bar.


OOC: finally brittany I thought you were never gonna get here.lol;)

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari looked around at all the silent and sleepy patrons. She put her hands on her hips and sighed. "We need a little more cheer in this place! Give them a round, Maeg! It's on me!" she said jovily. The hobbit leaped onto a chair, her blue cloak swishing, and pulled out her harmonica once more. She began to play, and at each note the smiles on the patrons' faces grew a little wider. Soon Ashari was playing so vigorously that flecks of spit were flying from her harmonica and she was stamping her bare foot on the chair. She ended her song on one long, joyous note, and with a cherry face bowed for the clapping customers.

[Angoreth]

"Flutes go very deep in my family, so I shall play with you"she said as she started another happy as Ashari came in with her Harmonica.

[Legolaschick]

"Is Grey Haven all right?" asked Vanaanooniel. "I do hope that she is ok, she looked so stressed, like she had seen so much, so much, that she had not wanted to see." said Vanaanooniel with a worried tone.

[Angoreth]

Famrill stopped playing her flute"yes I am afriad that is what it seems, for I do not know yet I have seen a few images that were to blured for me to under stand. She is better then she was last night, she will hopfully be able to come down and tell us her story."she said as she hung her head in silence.

[Legolaschick]

"I am sorry I seemevd to have asked something I should not have." Vanaanooniel said hanging her head.

[Mablung]

Maegelen came back in from outside and put his bow away. When Grey Haven had come in as she was he had quickly left to make sure nothing had pursued her. Confidant they had left he sat down and poured himself a drink.

[Theoden_king]

"well after all this excitement I will have to have another ale, does anyone else want one on me?"

[Angoreth]

"oh no, you asked not of what you shouldent,"she said confusing herself."never mind you are fine"she said as she patted Van on the back" I think I shall like an ale please"she said as she licked her lips as she finished her milk." I have cotton mouth"she said as she swallowed hard.

[Mablung]

"Well people coming in while in a state like that usaully requieres some sort of alcohol." He poured out several ales and placed them on the counter for anyone to take.

[Legolaschick]

"I think that I will have a drink, if you please." I do believe that I will get a room upstairs if you please." And with that she went upstairs to get some sleep.

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor turned to Lamerend "Prehaps I shouldn't have offered to pay for the ale" he said with a smile "will your friend be alright?" he asked

[Angoreth]

"she shall be fine with rest"she said as she took an ale"thank you"she said with a a smile.

[Legolaschick]

Coming down from her room 5 hours later Vanaanooniel felt much better. After paying for the room she went to a table and got some bread and a Dr. Pepper. "I miss him so much, but some must die in battle but why him?" a amall tear went down her cheek but she brushed it away hoping no one had seen it.

[Mablung]

ooc: This is totally an IC ME thing so there is no Dr Pepper.

"Don't worry Theodred I'll give you a discount."

[Angoreth]

"well I cannot tell if it is morning or night, so please maeg an ale or milk that will tell me." she said looking quite parched but with a smile.

[Mablung]

Maegelen looked outside. "Its either really late or early. Either way ale is the best thing." He filled up several mugs and gave one to everyone.

[Angoreth]

"ale's fine with me"she said taking a drink."Thank you maeg.

[HobbitGirl]

The general mood in the inn was not lively enough for Ashari. She had run out of original songs to play and didn't want to start playing other people's songs, as that was not her style. The hobbit sat sipping her ale with a frown, trying to think of a way to get everybody livened up. Suddenly an idea came to her, and a smile crept across her face. The hobbit jumped up onto a table, her blue cloak swishing into her ale, and blew a few notes on her harmonica to get everybody's attention.

"Attention, attention, all ye honorable Mithril Knights!" the hobbit cried. "We need a livelier inn! A happier inn! We need a friendly competition!" All the patrons paused in their ale to listen. Ashari continued. "I hereby declare that a Talent Show take place! This is your chance to show what you're made of, Mithril Knights! It's the chance to get to know your fellow Knight better! It's the chance to share your hobbies and joys with your fellow Knights!" She paused to look around at all of them. "Since you have all already seen my talents, I shall be the judge of this competition." Ashari smiled, then sat down at her table again. "Who will display thier talents first?"

[Theoden_king]

Thenedor pulled out a small pouch and threw it to Maegelen, "It is full of gold coins Maeg, I hope that will cover everyone's drinks" he said with a smile

[Angoreth]

"ashri, I think I shall try out this talent show"she said taking a drink of ale,"when will i start?she said turning to the hobbit."and thank you thendedor for the ale"she said taking another drink.

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari smiled. "You don't have to try out!" she said merrily. "Just show us what you can do!" The hobbit sat back and sipped her ale with a smile, happily anticipating and trying to guess what her fellow Knights could cook up.

[Angoreth]

"o.k." she said a she pondered what to do.

[~*Grey Haven*~]

:confused: Just then, footsteps were heard on the stairs and out stepped Grey Haven. She was the picture of health. All the color had returned to her face, and her eyes were as bright a grey as ever. At her entrernce, Lamerend quickly turned from her ale and helped her commrade to the table. "Thank you my friend" she said. "An ale for my weak companion." Lamerend said.
"Are you all right?"
"Yes. "
"What happened?"
"I was ambushed by orcs on the plains of Rohan. I fought them hard, but they were too many. My quiver is empty, and I'm sure my swords and my arrows are still out there. The only thing I have left is my knife."
"I'm sorry, my friend. I should have been there" Lamerend said remorsefully.
"The fault is mine, my friend. I was riding out there chasing a false hope. . . a false dream. I shold never have left home. I was looking for . . ." her voice trailed off and she said no more but took a sip of ale to sooth the lump in her throat, but to no advantage.

[Mablung]

Maegelen looked up sharply at the mention of Orcs so close to home. "I hope there weren't any trackers in the group." He sat for a few moments in deep thought then began to gather his equipment. "I'll go make sure you were not tracked and if you were I'll throw them off. Ashari you have been part of this Inn staff longer than anyone else, please take care of the Inn while I am away. Lamerand will help out with anything if you ask her just like her relatives. I shall not be more than a week in passing. Take care all of you." He then whirled through the doorway leaving them all framed in a cold determination completely contrary to his normal demeanor.

ooc: Its actually Spring Break and this is just the excuse for being gone for a week.

[Angoreth]

Lamerend sat next to her friend, then turned to Ashari"like he said, I offer my services"she said with a nod of her head.Lamerend turned to Grey haven,"I can track you foot's stepps I shall retreive your weapons my friend"she said as got up and mounted her mustange"Ashari I shall not be gone long I doubt you will need help any time soon"and with that she vanished from sight....

Grey haven sat in silence retracing all she could remember, an hour passed and lamerend returned,The inn could hear her stabling her steed, then they heard her fot fall's coming closer to the door until a tired and drained elf reapaired"I have you bow, I know not how many arrow's you carry'd but I only found tweenty, and here is your sword, I shall take them up to your room"she said as she walked up the stair's, her friends could heara door opening and then shutting, they heard her foot falls comeing back"there all put away and cleane, not a trace of orc blood"she said as she took once again a seat by her friend."I should have been there i am terribly sorry, I feel is should weep for your weary state,"she said as she gentilly patted her friend on the back.


OOC: O.k. by mab for now, see ya in a wekk.lol:) . *sigh* any one else leaving.

[HobbitGirl]

Ashari bowed to Maegelen as he left. "You will be sorely missed, even if for a short time," she said with a smile. The hobbit walked behind the bar, preparing to fulfull her duties as temorary barkeep. She mixed togther some apple juice and some dark amber ale, putting a slice of lemon on the top of the glass. She took a sip, then swished the concoction around in it's glass for a moment, considering. "Not bad," she said.

The hobbit sighed and put her elbows up on the bar. "So much for the talent show idea," she said sadly. "No one's feeling too adventerous I suppose. Ah well, perhaps another time."

[Theoden_king]

Thendor smiled at Ashari and said "Prehaps if I had a host of orcs in the bar, I would show you the only talent I possess"

Thenedor then turned to Grey Haven "You gave us all quite a scare with your entrance and we all are glad to see you well, but tell us what were you doing alone on the plains of Rohan?"

[Angoreth]

"yes my friend what were you doing in rohan I thought you were supposed to be in lothlorien, then I would meet you there?"she asked she took a drink of ale. "and what it it that you carry in your hand?"she asked as she noticed a bag in her friends hand.

[Legolaschick]

Getting up from where she sat she went over to the bar, "May I please have an ale?" she asked. She then went over to check on Grey Haven. Hearing that she seemed to be fine she went over to a dark corner. Pulling a cloche, that was as dark as the night, over her body so that other people would hopefully not see her. She put her head down and then she just let her thoughts wander wherever they wished to go.

[Angoreth]

OOC: finally some one posted here, I was hoping some one would soon.


"may I have a molt beer?" she asked as she sat there while her frined grey havan was in deep thought.
