Black Knight of Keno Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Ilenal watched Emara's and Tanos' coversation from the back of the cave before standing up and going to the archers. He whispered something in quenya to them and most of them bursted out laughting. They got a large bowl and filled it up and then handing it over to the hobbit. That bowl had to be at least twice as large as the other bowls. Ilenal winked and took his small meal and a piece of bread and again went to the back of the cave. The archers started to give out the breakfast. Ilenal sat again in the back of the cave and ate. He saw that neither Emara or Tanos looked happy after their conversation. Both were more hard-headed than the elf had thought at fist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Though Tanos and Emara walked together to get breakfast, they said nothing to each other as they came and after each had gotten their food, the separated.

Black Knight of Keno Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Ilenal looked at Emara quietly and set his bowl down next to him. He wanted to apologize of causing their dispute, but it would probably not b heard by these two stubborn siblings. He shook his head and ate the rest of his bread before packing his things and taking his saddlebag and stamping out the fire. The elf gave the bowl to the archers as he headed to his horse and placed the cloth and the saddlebag onto the steed. He whispered something into it's ear and it let out a breath, pressing it's head back down to get some last rest. Ilenal walked out and sat down next to the entrance again, closing his eyes and breathing slowly. He could feel a bitter wind, even if there was no wind on the pass, and could hear the waves hitting the tall cliffs near the Grey Havens... He shook his head and opened his eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writer Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 "See, that's what I don't understand," Ever said. "You choose to travel a lot... wouldn't you rather have a set place to come home to?" ----------------------------- Emara stayed by the archers' fire while Tanos went back to the one that he and Ever had shared. They ate in silence, gave their bowls back and silently prepared to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight of Keno Posted November 25, 2005 Author Share Posted November 25, 2005 Ilenal wandered off and soon whistled, his horse jumping up and running from the cave. The elf stood quietly and looked at the clear sky, smiling as he jumped onto his trusty horse. He looked back at the cave and shook his head, soon to be joined by the scout and a few archers. They talked for a moment and then fell silent. The hood of Ilenal's was drawn way up fron and covered his face almost completely and his cape was open only from a small part of the front of his body. Once Emara eventually came from the cave, he looked at her quietly, not knowing what to sya and it took him a while to get his mind clear. "Emara, the sea is calling me" he said in the tongue of Rohan as he rode right next to her. If you would've seen his eyes, they were obviously sad. He did not want to have yet another problem on the journey, especially one that involved the ocean and his longing for the golden lands of Valinor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight of Keno Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 The elf looked at her and shook his head. "I know, but that will be many years from now, Emara. Now is now, and so it should be" he said and smiled. "Now, we should continue the journey" he said and turned to see the cave. "We should get going, Tanos! Ever!" he called out and turned the horse sideways onto the road. Now he waited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Writer Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 "You're talking about Proudfoots and Bracegirdles and others like them," Ever said scornfully. "I'm a Took. We like adventure. And I already told you that Tanos interests me. So I'm following him around... y'know, just to see where his life takes him." He heard Ilenal's call and shrugged. "But we can continue this discussion later, if you'd be interested." ---------------------- Tanos rode up on his horse. "Let's go then." Ever came over and Tanos pulled him up behind him.
