Post Eregion *need new ppl, pm to join* (KEEP)
on: January 23, 2004 04:42
((Welcome, feel free to join. My charactor's name is Bessain, she is an elf from imladris. Her bio is up and running(finally). This takes place in her last home. Well, atleast in a home that was once hers. For those of you that might not know, Eregion is a lost elven city, It no longer stands.*Please correct me if I'm wrong*enjoy))

It had been awhile sense she had last been here. A decade or so to be exact. If you heard a discription from someone about this place you would not recognize it. All that now stands are the ruins. All that she had from this place were memories and a small horn, that she rarely used. She never needed it. Though she still kept it. The land had grown over all that was ruined or burned, so that it looked almost like any other forest. For those who still remebered this place it was much more. (Except for one tiny fact that I will not mention, unless you already know the history.)

It was a clear cool day when Bessain, the elven wanderer, rode to the ruins of Eregion. The wind softly blew her hair so it gently trailed behind her. It was so quiet here. Unlike the rest of the world, always busy and in a hury. But the only reason that came to be, was because that this land was no longer inhabited. Or so she thought.

A figure sat slouched by the river. She could not tell his race because of the angle she was at. The tattered tunic told her it was male. She queitly got off her stallion and tied it to a tree. She drew her bow and notched an arrow, silently creeping toward the figure. The stranger made a weird grunting noise, as if to be between a snore and a cough. She quickly dodged between trees to get a better look at the stranger. He appeared to be an elf.

Well that makes sense.
But what if he means ill?
Should I approach?
He might have friends around here somewhere...

At that last thought, she heard a twig crack behind her. She ignored it and took it for her horse stirring. That was a mistake.

((I hope you don't mind if I join. My character is in the database. Her name is Morvana and she is a she-elf from Lothlorien and is travelling to this city. She's had a very small amount of history here before moving and living in Lorien))

"What are you doing here?" said a soft but stern voice from behind. An arrow had already been inserted in Morvana's bow. She had indeed made the noise that the young elf ignored. Morvana wasn't going to let her escape so easily. The elven maid turned around and was startled. She too had a bow and arrow in her hands but Morvana held the situation at the moment. She then said in a even more approaching voice, "I said what are you doing here? Speak quickly!"

Upon hearing a voice Bessain slowly stood up straight and turned around. Studying her opponent, for the moment. She slowly put down her weapons and slowly raisd her arms, to show no harm. Seeing as how she was elven.......

"Inye minë mar sinome,"she said.
(I once dwelled in this land/place)

"Is it a crime to return to an old homeland,"she asked with a stern tone of voice. The gleam in her eyes had left and turned to a icy-cold glare. "Elves once welcomed here, never-again shall I see such welcome,"she said. "While I am standing here may I ask you a question?"she asked."What are you doing here? And why do you hold me up? If it is death you seek I can help you with that. Still not abandoning her hard stare.

((my Characters name is Dagoron, his info in the in the thingy. he and Bessain has been old friend from old adventures)) from an odd form of bushes a dwarf wakes from the two elves and has been listening to the conversation while trying not to interrupt at a wrong time thinking it is ok he gets up and the elf immediately turned her bow at him. Dagoron raises his hands also while he says "is that you old friend!?!" chuckling he says "may I shake my friends hand if it is ok with you?" the elf hesitates then lets him shake Bessains hand. He reaches out his hand for the shake.

Character Bio in RPG Characters list

"Have not enough elves lost their lives in this desolation that we must now kill one another. If you must kill someone, kill the dwarf". Erudú stands for several seconds and then he begins to laugh loudly at the shocked expressions before him, especially the Dwarfs.

When Morvana looked up Bessain moved slowly out of the way of her bow. Just incase she got too excited and losened the grip on her bow. That was not a chance Bessain had in mind to take.

"Dagoron my agitating friend?" she questioned. "How do you seem to find me eveytime death comes knocking?"she asked slightly glancing at Morvanna. "I know I have already asked this question, but I wish to take it back. I have no need to ask elves what they are doing here. But I do have need to ask a dwarf," she said turning to Dagoron. "What buisness have you in Eregion? Dwarves have not walked this land since Sauron overtook it? You know this.

Her gaze drifted slowly back to Morvanna and Erudu. Cursing herself for stating her name first she said, "I am Bessain of Rivendell, and as you might have already figured, I once represented Eregion. But no longer.

Erudú is wearing the grey the clothing of the Mirkwood but has a mantel of Lorien over all, making it difficult to figure out where he is from. Erudú looks on at the scene taking shape below him and knows full well that there is nothing to fear here. "Put down your bows we have nothing to fear of from one another. I am Erudú, I am of Lorien as are you." He looks to Morvanna, "I am not acquainted with you but I roam these lands freely and only go to Lorien when there is need. I am here for the same reason a you, I once lived in this fair place". He hops down from his rock and begins to walk down to then group, he holds no weapon in his hand as a sign of friendship.

When Erudú reaches Morvanna he extends he hand to Dagoron first " Master Dwarf forgive my comment to shot you, I would like to call you a friend. " He shakes Dagoron's hand but can tell the Dwarf does not trust him yet. "Ladies let us come together as friends, we are elf kin and have nothing to fear from one another". Erudú sits himself down on a column that that lies on the ground waiting for the others to drop their guard and come together. This is an unusual gesture for Erudú to make, as he is usually not so trustful of others.

Morvana slowly lowered her bow and arrow. They seemed no harm to Eregion so she spoke and said, "I am sorry. It is my duty now to see that this place is kept safe and not disturbed. I have been here for a couple months and I will return home once someone else gets here to take my place. But I will stay for a while and help you if needed. Again, I am sorry for showing such anger and harm towards you Bessain." She place the arrow back in its rightful place and headed toward Bessain, holding out her hand. "May we become friends and forget this nonsense?"

Before taking Morvana's hand Bessain backed up into a slight bow. "I hardley consider death nonsense,"she replied. "But I see why you would do so. If it were I in your place, the same would have been shown." Straightening up from her bow she took Morvana's hand and gave it a light shake. "I accept your kindness and I hope you do the same with mine,"she said. "You have stated your buiness but not your name. May we have the privledge of knowing that?"

She turned to Dagoron. "Dagoron my friend, I bid you to think no ill thought against this gentlemen,"she said. "He has more right to be here than you my friend," she said, smiling at him.

Bessain went over and picked up her weapons that she had set down.

"I am please to be in your company. If I have given offence to anyone I regret that and pray your forgiveness. It has been long since I have been here, and I remember days of great wonder and joy in this fair place. I also remember the pain that was brought by Sauron and his orcs". Some of the bitterness and hatred Erudú has shows on his face. "I felt once again a longing to return here, why I do not know. I see from this gathering that I may not be the only one drawn here. Morvanna you have said that you are watching this place, if I may ask why have you been posted from Lorien to here? There has been nothing here for a great length of time and none have returned to settle again on this land and heal it. I find it odd that three Elves and a Dwarf meet here on this day. I can recall of no place where I have travelled in the wilderness that I have come upon a group such as this".

"Just as Erudu stated, my name is Morvana," she replied to Bessain in a calm voice. "And I do come from the fair land of Lothlorien. But why am I here do you ask Erudu. To reply to this is an answer like a story, almost long but may provide enough information for you. Does time permit me to speak?" Erudu nodded in return so Morvana spoke: "A while back, while still roaming Lorien's land, a vision came to me like anything I have ever seen before. A great evil I saw but could not explain it. This troubled me greatly so I went to seek council from Galadriel, which happens to be my mother. She took me to her Mirror and as I looked into it, I saw this land, old yet beautiful in its own way. As I continued to watch, the patterns of Eregion changed and I saw fire burning the trees and the grass and all that was once great was now gone. A great evil had set foot on this almost forsaken land and destroyed every last inch of it. I couldn't tell what kind of evil presense there was but whatever it was it was stronger than the orcs or even Sauron himself. I may be overexaggerating; yes I probably am but why come to this land? I thought to myself. Apparently it has some importance to this world and that new kind of evil had to get rid of it before something happened. The image faded and I looked into my mother's eyes waiting for an answer. Was this the future of Eregion that I witnessed? Naturally, Galadriel had seen what I saw and bid me to make haste to Eregion to protect its borders and keep an eye out on anything unusual. She said she would send more forces in time which I am waiting on. Does this help you out any?"

If I may speak first, I now understand why I was drawn to come back to this land but I do not know of the evil Morvanna has envisaged. Morvanna is from the Realm of Lothlórien and I am also. I have for a great deal of time taken my direction from the Lady Galadriel. Though my shadow has not fallen on that land for many years I have been told much of what I am to do and where to seek news by the White Lady, through her knowing my mind. I was told by her to come to this place and I knew that you would be here Morvanna, but not of the others. I am yours to command Morvanna and I will stand by you, I pledge to you my bow and my sword.

Only to be caught by the elven ear, the slightest crush of a heavy foot on leaves could be heard. Every once and awhile the sound would stop then continue. There was a low 'thump' as if a sword had been dropped. Then a slight stench. Bessain drew her sword as the dwarf looked at her questionly. "Yrch," she said aloud.
The noise was soon loud enough to be caught by dwarven ears. The young dwarf let a evil grinn cross his face as he drew his axe. "There atleast more then ten now,"she said still listening for anything else.

Erudú seeing Bessain's reaction to the thump, he removes his bow and readies himself. Dagoron sits smiling at the prospects of a fight. They sit quiet watching for any movement in the direction of the sound. No one hails them, this can only mean one thing orcs or uruks. He thinks back to Morvana's comment that she had been sent here to protect the area and Erudú had also been sent here but he knew not why. So is this how it will all start even before he knows why he was sent here. The foe is much closer now and the smell thickens the air. He sees movement in the tall rushes by the brook. He silently draws back his bow, he looks intently for more movement to be sure that it is indeed a uruk. The stench is to strong there is no doubt any longer and he lets the arrow fly, there is the dull thud of the arrows impact and before the target hits the ground another arrow is loosed. The cry of charging uruks fills the air around them. They charge in on two side one group coming down the hill and the other charging over the brook. The first battle of Eregion has begun.

Dagoron swings his axe over and over again hitting uruk after uruk. As he chops the hideous beasts to the ground he counts twelve as he thwacks another in the back as it was swinging for Bessains head. "I just saved your life. You can repay the debt later, now we still have to fight." he yells between slices of his axe. "This is easy Bessain i could do this all day!"

Just then the group hears a thud but it was a different thud then the others... it was louder then the others wondering what it is he soon wished he hasn’t. A troll bashes out of the trees with a giant club at hand and yells at the little elves (to the troll) and dwarf that are standing right at its giant feet.

Laraya, hearing the orcs approach, swiftly took out her bow and let an arrow sing through the air until it landed on its target. "I am grateful for your service," she said to Erudu. There was really no time for talk for they were immediately surrounded by the disgraceful orcs. Arrow after arrow was shot from her bow as quick as lightning but there was just too many of them now. "We need to find refuge!" she shouted to the others.

Erudú hears the call to fall back and shouts to Dagoron. Dagoron easily outmanoeuvres the troll who is flailing his club from side to side. Almost out of arrows Erudú hits the troll in one eye and just above the other. The pain and blood drive the troll wild as he flails at any thing that moves and does much of the work for the elves. Erudú yells out "fall back into the centre of the old city" (the City of Ost-in-eilph or City of Elves 2nd Age) "there are still old tunnels we can use" he shouts to Laraya ( Morvana ?) He now uses his arrows sparingly to cover the retreat. The troll has put the orc attack into disarray by killing or maiming many of the orcs.

Making some progress Erudú pulls a small bone horn and blows it. It produces a loud strong high note, he blows it several more times as he continues the fall back. He sees Bessain looking at him and he explains "if there are any in the area from Imladris they will come and aid us.

(Oops!! Wrong character. Sorry, I was trying to reply to another roleplay and I play that character. Won't happen again! I'm still Morvana. I also need to tell you that I will not be back on until maybe Sunday. I have a competition to go to and a rehearsal tonight. So, see ya when I get back home! Have fun!)

Staring at Erudu was no way to ensure that she was going to live through this. Her hand found its way to her bow, and loosed arrow after arrow. Just enough to keep any harm from getting to her new companions. A horn from Imladris? They were in Eregion. Surely it would be more effective to let the horn of its city ring through the ruins. Assuming that she was the only one who still carried that horn. She figured since one horn was blown, there was no reason to use the other. The troll still hot on their trail.

The sound of the other horn it startled Erudú. He turns and looks at Bessain and gives her a big smile. Where is Dagoron, I haven't seen him since he outmanoeuvred the troll. He is down to his last arrow and in spite their best effort the troll manages to keep coming. They move further into the tunnel when they hear the sound of arrows whistle through the air. The troll makes the most hideous sound as he hit by arrows from three sides. Finally the troll is over come and falls dead. Bessain and Erudú emerge from the tunnel to see several elves perusing the remainder of the orcs intending to leave none alive.

Erudú greets the captain of the Rivendell elves, "Halamir it is truly good to see you once again my friend." "Erudú I told you there were orcs in the area replies Halamir" "Yes my friend you did I grant you that. Bessain this is Halamir captain of the Rivendell guard. I was told to go to Rivendell and ask for help, there was news of orcs on the move in this area and our Lady knew that we would not yet be prepared, when I arrived at Rivendell these men were already waiting for me. They escorted me down but we did not encounter any orcs and they chose to patrol the area. They did not wish to impose them selves on our hallowed ground. Halamir gave me this horn should we need aid. I am sorry I had no time to tell you this. You are captain here Bessain and I serve you. There are no other surprises for you, you now know all. Halamir if you could assist me to burn these corpses I would be grateful."

The corpses were piled and burn including the troll. They recovered their arrows and were given additional by the Rivendell guards. Halamir and his men left the area and the four companions were on their own again. Erudú turns to Dagoron and asks "how was the hunt today, was you axe pleased with your count" of course in true dwarf fashion Dagoron began to rant on about the battle. " Today we were fortunate Bessain but we must be prepared for what may come tomorrow. You know this area far better than I and I pledge my sword to serve you while I have breath"

((Bessain lived in Rivendell for a time. I think she should know the captain of the guard. Please don't start yelling at me for making this comment. I was just letting you know.))

"It is not my job to protect this area,"she said while shooting a soft glance at Morvanna. "Although this is no longer my home, it would not do well to have me see another plague of ill times." A strong-hold would be our best bet, but I would not enjoy to see it built upon once fair ruins that need to be left in peace.......................I need some time alone to think on this matter. Give me an hour,"she said as she flipped up into the tallest tree, making her way to the top.

She shifted around in the bows of the tree, to get comfortable. She could see the lay out of the land from there. It was a perfect spot for laying out strategies. "If only we could set up guards around the borders. No, its too spread out. We'd be over run in the night. Maybe a settlement east of the border. It wouldn't do any good though. Orcs could roam the back land and we'd be trapped in our own settlement." Thought such as these swept throughout her mind. She needed help, but she wouldn't admit it, too stubborn for her own good. Things like this were better off left between a council and not just one person. There was little time to arrange a concil though. The hour was running late, and she was exausted. She could not go back down without a decision. She could barely keep her eyes open, she was too comfortable to not want to sleep.

She heard Dagorons voice calling after her, she was unable to hearken to his calls as sleep overtook her.

After wiping the black blood off his axe, Dagoron yells out to the sleeping elf "Bessain, Bessain!!.......... Are you asleep!?! Wake up you lazy elf!!!" Dagoron yells out to the sleeping elf "somebody lifts me up there." looking around at the group "I’m not that heavy c'mon" he yells taking off his equipment. Erudú finally helps him up and he wakes the elf that some how slept through the dwarves raging yells. He pokes the elf and she wakes up and jumps in her perch.

"Bessain do mind coming down for a moment please. Bessain I am so sorry I did not realise you had lived in Rivendell. I was not made aware of it and I caused you embarrassment and the fault was mine" Erudú feels terrible.

"Think nothing of it Erudu,"she said with a slight yawn of annoyance toward the dwarf. Dwarves can climb trees? She climbed down realizing that she still had not thought of a plan. Cursing herself under her breath she planted her feet back on the ground. She looked back up at Dagoron. "Are you coming or did you wake me for nothing master dwarf?"she said in her usual stern tone.

She turned back to Erudu. "I lived in Eregion in early life, when it was over run I fled to Imladris (or Rivendell, same thing),"she said still wanting to finish the nap she had started. "I kept nothing but memories and this horn,"she added. "My mind is still downed in sleep. I would personally like to head to Rivendell to consult Lord Elrond of this matter. It matters little to me until I have had a nice nap," she said as she glared at the dwarf. He still seemed to be having a hard time getting down. She would have helped him, but since he got up there, she figured he could get down.

Bessain you have dwelt in Imladris but I think those days have ended. It is a place of beauty and knowledge but I feel confined there. There is no room to stretch or to roam free. You live in peace and rest but I need to feel the wind and have the sky as my cover. Lorien is my home but there I still feel confined. I have a restless spirit with in, and one day I may seek the rest of Lorien but it is not yet to be. You my kinsman of Imladris I dare say are of the same spirit as I as is Dagoron. You can have your rest and we shall watch for unexpected company and not disturb you. I would be interested hearing of your journey and what brought to this place. Morvanna my kinsman and liege should return on the next day or there after with news of Lorien.

When you are refreshed I shall take my rest. So please use the tunnel if you prefer or I will remove Dagoron from his tree prison and you may sleep there. I have pledged my sword to protect you and so I will. I am certain that it will be a few days before the orc raiding party will be missed so sleep in peace and allow your mind to wonder free of concern.

With that being said, she felt alittle frustrated with him, though she was not why. Might have just been out of confusion from being woken. People often thought she loved living in a city, just because she happened to be in one. The truth was, she couldnt stand being in towns and cities for over a day. Five years in Rivendell did not do her justice. She didnt like crowded areas, even now she had an urge to leave, since a bunch of elven guards were coming. She never told anyone one this, simply because she felt as if it showed her emotions. Showing emotion felt, to her, the same as wearing her heart on her sleeve. Fools who did so usually got taken advantage of. This was learned from experience.

She relieved Erudu from his duty, and helped Dagoron down. There was no air in tunnels. Trees however were perfect. She took a peaceful rest in the tree bows. Sleep felt good, for she hadnt had it in three days. The roads have been dangerous lately, the risk was too high for sleep. But now, was perfect.

She awoke to the loud snoring of the dwarf. Climbing down, she saw that he had indeed chose to sleep in the tunnels. His snores were echoing throughout the tunnel. She was surprised at how everyone else had been able to sleep through it. At first she thought that they might have forgotten to post a guard. But then again, she knew they werent that careless. She guessed their guard was in the trees somwhere or patroling the borders. Sure enough, she spotted Erudu sitting in the bows of a tree. He hadnt seemed to notice her yet. His gaze was fixed on something in the distance.

"Bessain" calls Erudú "I hope you had a good sleep cause we may be getting more company. Come on up and give me you opinion". Bessain scrambles easily up the tree and sits with Erudú. "Look along the river, I think that's Movana on her way back, but look beyond her, that could just be a dust cloud or a number of horses but it could be Uruks running behind her trying to catch up to her. What do you think about 15 leagues distance to the cloud and 9 leagues to her. Uruks won't stop running, and if it is Uruks where did they all come from. So think we should go for a jog and meet her so they aren't lead here it'll only be 5 leagues to reach her. I don't think this group had anything to do with the orcs, there hasn't been enough time for word to get back that they're not coming back. How well does Dagoron do long distance running, will he do 5 leagues because I would rather take the fight to them than wait for them to come here.

"They may not be Uruks,"she said without removing her gaze from Morvanna. "Morvanna was sent to protect this area, she would not be foolish enough to lead them straight into her territory. She may not be able to see them. I highly doubt she cannot smell or hear them. Maybe we should pay her a visit?We would have to leave someone to watch over this area. Dagoron will want to come. As far as I have seen, he can only run 1 league.

Bessain walked into the tunnel and roused Dagoron. He smelled strongly of ale. When he seemed alive enough to comprehend anything, Bessain explained their problem. As she had predicted, he wanted to come. But someone needed to watch the camp incase anything came by. He reluctantly agreed to this task.

Erudu and Bessain strapped on their weapons and started out toward Morvanna.

((okay, I'm back home and now ready to write))


"Fly my dear Fairwen, fly like the wind!" said Morvana to her horse that she brought back with her from Lothlorien. Speed was granted to Fairwen's legs and they sped toward there destination. Morvana looked around to see if she could try to lead the Uruks astray and far from Eregion and found a tiny patch of earth east from there. "Steady now Fairwen!" Although the Uruks were now about 1 1/2 leagues away from her, Morvana reached around for her bow and released several arrows from the string. They hit there targets but she could not hold them down for long as they would soon catch up. Far off in the distance, she saw with her eyes Erudu and Bessain travelling out to meet her. "Thank goodness!" she thought to herself. She looked behind her to see how close the Uruks were to her when she suddenly got struck down by an arrow. The impact was so great that it flung her off Fairwen. Blood started to stain her dress as it poured out from her right shoulder. Her horse came up to her and stood in front as if to protect her. "Run Fairwen, leave now!" she told her horse in the elvish tongue but Fairwen wouldn't leave. The source of the arrow was soon learned--a very small group of orcs were travelling from the southeast and meeting up with the uruks. Morvana tried to pull the evil crafted arrow out from her shoulder but it wouldn't budge. The uruks were approaching fast now and she couldn't tell if Bessain and Erudu had arrived yet. Fairwen knelt down beside her friend and Morvana gently grabbed her mane. Fairwen slowly stood up and made sure Morvana was safely on. Morvana was getting very weak and her horse sensed this. Like a flash of lightning, Fairwen galloped off in the opposite direction of the Uruks.

Bessain and Erudú almost flew out of the camp riding in the direction of Morvana hoping the dust cloud was not a trail of Uruks. Uruks can run almost non-stop but even a horse must rest. "Their Uruks alright, where did they come from" The gap between them was closing quickly when they both saw her off of her horse. That was not a hit from a Uruk they were to far back to be able to do that. "There got to be a second group some where' shouts Erudú. They were almost upon when the saw the second group "Orcs" shouts Bessain "and not just a few". Their first concern was for Morvana and how serious her wound. They finally met.

Morvana was bleeding badly from her shoulder and had already weakened badly. Erudú goes along side Morvana leans over and pulls her over to sit in front of him and he holds her with one arm, Fairwen her horse runs along side not wanting to be separated from her master.

Erudú is careful with Movana's shoulder, her head falls forward but she must stay awake. Morvana, Morvana you must stay awake, fight the fatigue keep your eyes open a little longer. Erudú is worried that she will drift off because of the shock to her body. Orc arrows are often dipped into a poison and if the arrow doesn't kill you the poison might. We can't stay at the camp there are just to many to hold off. We have to get Dagoron. I'll take care of Movana's shoulder, we'll get our supplies and head Northeast and hope we run into Halamir and his men.

At the camp Dagoron wants to fight but there are many more orcs and uruks than at the first encounter with them. Erudú carefully lowers himself off Palermo holding Morvana in his arms. There is a slight thump when he lands on the ground and Morvana grimaces in pain. Morvana I am going to clean and dress your shoulder and this will hurt, I'm sorry. He looks at her and sees the beauty of her mother; he has never noticed it before. He carefully and as gently as possible pours water on the wound to clean it out, he then tears some fabric from his sleeve to cover the wound and stop the bleeding. Bessain has gathered up their supplies with the help of Dagoron and is ready to go. Erudú asks her "which way do you think Halamir would have headed back, along the river or north-east over land. He is our best hope to tackle this group". He thinks to himself for a moment and then asks aloud "what do these orcs and uruks want with this place. They had been scattered far and wide after the ring war I just don't understand. Why did Lady Galadriel have me come here to guard this ancient city with her daughter? Come on Erudú there's no for talk now we have to leave now" Bessain reminds him. They helped Erudú and Morvana onto his horse then Bessain and Dagoron took the lead.

No sooner had they left than the first of the orcs started to arrive at the ancient city.

"I heard Halamir, say something about the Bruinen,"she said. Maybe he headed there. "Loudwater(or Bruinen) is not to far from imladris. Elrond will be of better service to Morvanna than we will ever be. Halamir probably checked back in his direction. We should atleast try to hit the Bruinen. What do you think, Erudu?"

"Sounds great, even if we can't find Halamir they won't be in a hurry to follow us north to Imladris. They may know that Halamir is in the area and that will slow them down. Movana's drifting in and out and I'm worried for her, orcs don't all use the same poison so I think we need to get to Lord Elrond as fast as we can". Erudú was truly concerned for his kinsman.

She was the daughter of the Lord and Lady of Lothlórien and he was well aware just how precious this Elf maiden was to him and others. He knew that help was on the way from Rivendell because of Lady Galadriel's telepathic connection with Lord Elrond. Erudú was an Eldar Elf, one of the Three Kindred though he seldom spoke of it. By this time most of the Elves of Middle Earth were Sindar and they were not quite as gifted as the Eldar. Being of the Eldar meant he was gifted with the same telekinetic abilities as Lady Galadriel. He had already called for help from Imladris, though he was not in a position to request it directly from Lord Elrond, a request such as this still had to go through the correct protocol therefore the Lady Galadriel had to make the request. Erudú had little respect for protocol and thought it pompous especially in a situation such as this. This is one of the reasons he had chosen a solitary life away from all such concerns. "Bessain there is help on the way from Imladris and they will ride hard and non-stop. We should do the same and we will meet where the Rivers Bruinen and Mitheithel meet around sunset. They will bring what is needed to help Morvana. There is also a guard coming with them and they will continue on and engage the orcs and Uruks. It is our choice weather we go with them or with Morvana to Imladris. I will explain all this to you later, now we must fly as fast as we can". Erudú held on to Morvana as if his life depended on it and Dagoron sat fast and held on to Bessian as they took off to the north.

Again he wondered what was the reason the old city had once again become such an area of interest.

Morvana opened her eyes with what strength she had left and faintly saw that she was on a horse, but it wasn't hers. She forced her head to turn around and saw that she was riding with Erudu. He had saved her life and her heart was enternally grateful for his act of kindness. She gave him a smile as a sign of thanks as their eyes met. Morvana then turned around and her eyes started to fall, trying to go into sleep from exhaustion and the poison affecting her body. The last thing she remembered seeing at that time was the sun ahead, sinking over the horizon.

They had been riding hard all day and the horses showed no sign of fatigue. They were well past mid afternoon and only about 9 leagues away from their goal. There was no sign of pursuit but they kept a fast pace for Morvana's sake. Morvana stirred but Erudú held her fast, she moved her head and looked about and then looked up at Erudú and gave him a weak smile and then fell into a deep sleep. He was worried for her. The poison was affecting her now but she was strong and he was sure that she would live to fight another day.

Bessain was in lead and Erudú watched for her to glance back and when she did he signalled her to stop. Erudú was concerned for the horses, he takes Palermo into the river to let him have water but Erudú does not dismount. He spoke to Palermo in quiet soft tone," Palermo you run as though you had wings my friend. You know we must make haste and you also know who's daughter sits on your back. I am in debited to you my faithful friend. Soon you will have all the water and sweet grass you desire". Bessain rides over to him and asks, "how is she doing". "She grows weak but I think she will be fine once we meet the help from Imladris. Tell me what is the terrain like" He stops and looks ahead and sees dust in the air and so does Bessain. " We have company" she said. "Oh good, let me down I'm ready for a good fight I've been on that horse to long" said Dagoron. " Sorry Dagoron I think we have met up with Halamir at last" Erudú tells him. Bessain leaves Dagoron standing on the bank and rides over to meet Halamir. Erudú stays where he is and says nothing leaving the discussion to Bessain and Halamir, His embarrassing blunder from their earlier meeting is still fresh on his mind.

"Halamir, do you have anything to help her?"she asked rather quickly in elven tounge (too lazy to translate). "Fresh horses will do, but she needs help now!"she demanded, aware of her abruptness but no longer bearing the will to care. "Comfort your self,Bessain,"Halamir commands. "We are aware of her state, we shall take her straight to Imladris. You and your trio may come, or stand and fight,"he says glancing over to Dagoron. "The choice is yours. Either way, those who are to leave must go now!"he says as he kicks his horse into a walk and rides up along side Erudu. Bessain rides over to Dagoron. "I shall stay. I don't think I need to ask but. Dagoron?,"she says with a smile. The dwarf just grins in reply. She turns to Erudu to hear his desire.
