Surion tossed his head and nickered, as if laughing. Estel grinned, and handed Deawen the stick again.
"Try again." she grinned. Deawen aimed for her legs, smacking it behind the knees. Estel leapt to the side, and gently hit Deawen's back.
"Always protect your back." she told her.
"Again." Estel commanded. That word would become farmilar to the two if Deawen truly wanted to learn.

The Girls on the ground, busy with paracticing fighiting did not notice that a shadow had darkened in one of the trees, and was watching them

(yay! you joined!!)

Estel laughed at Deawen's tatics. Finally, Estel dropped her stick, breathing a little more heavily than usual.
"Ok, we're done for tonight." She told Deawen. "We'll do more tomorrow night. For now, get some rest."
She dropped on her bedroll, exausted. Long after Deawen had fallen asleep, Estel stayed awake. After all, she was suppost to be guarding them. Something just didnt seem right. The fire was dieing, so Estel went to find some wood. She found a small grove of trees, and began picking up dead branchs around. She was bending to pick up another when she thought she heard something... or maybe not... but being a tracker, she knew better than to go against her feelings. Estel stood still, listening for any other sound. In the distance, she heard a horse snort. Slowly, she began walking back towards the camp.

Morwen was awakened when Breda snorted in her face. She sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. Through the grogginess, something wasn't right. she stood up and retrieved her bow, hunting knife, and sword from where she had set it before, and went back to her blankets and sat, waiting for Estel to get back

Estel came to the camp sight, and looked at Morwen, who was up.
"Cant sleep?" she asked, setting down the logs. She kneeled by the fire, and put a few in to keep the fire going.
"Will you need the fire in the morning to cook? Or is it ok if its just hot coals. I'm gonna let it die out a little so its not as hot in the morning."
Estel then moved to Celeg, who was snoozing. She whispered in his ear, and the bird took flight. Celeb circled over head of the camp, searching with sharp eyes for anything suspicious... anything at all...

I watched the girls throu the night making sure not to be seen, one of them seem to be a traker of some sort, but even the best of trackers had a hard time spoting a shadow in the dark, I could blend perfectly in to the dark agents the tree, and if i needed to i could be the tree.

Celeg landed silently in a tree. His beady black eyes scanned everything around him curiously. Something moved slightly, and he chirped. The falcon stayed there, perched in the tree.

Surion snorted uneasily, and stared into darkness. The horse was alert. Animals had those good senses. Estel stood and approached her horse, petting him and talking to him softly. He relaxed somewhat, but remained alert. Estel went back to her bed roll.
"Get some sleep Morwen. It'll be alright."
Estel covered herself and lay still, her head on the saddle. She stared up at the stars. She loved being out under the stars. But that wasn't what was on her mind. Her eyelids drooped, yet remained slightly slit open. She was pretending to sleep, yet was fully aware of what was going on. She kept her breathing shallow, as if she was sleeping. Every now and then she'd roll to a side, as she would if asleep. But she remained awatch... waiting...

I sat silently in the tree, i was not to kill not tonight, tonight i would only watch, there was not usually anyone in these woods, and this meeting of three had me intrested

Morwen laid back down and tried to sleep. Coals would be fine, she thought. Maybe simply some bacon and potatoes over the fire...SHe tossed and turned, trying to keep her mind from wandering. NOthing worked. Once she was awake, she couldn't go back to sleep. It had always been that way. She rolled over again and looked across the dying fire to Estel. She seemed to be asleep, her breathing even and light. Morwen sat up again and rummaged through her pack till she found a small, smoothe pebble. She sat crosslegged and flipped it over in her hands. On one side was carved the letter Æ, for herbrother Æþelwine. He had died a few years earlier defending himself from Easterlings near the Merring Stream. They had always been close, and this pebble was all she had to commemorate him. She held the pebble tightly rubbing her thumb on the well worn side. She did this whenever she was nervous, or couldn't sleep. She lay down again to wait for the dawn to come.

Estel folded her hands on her stomach, and began to sing a tune she had composed.

"Though the darkness consumes me
Though the shadows are at my heels
I do not fear the night
No evil can overcome me
No enemy can take my life away
I ride on the wings of the eagles
And with the wind I fly away"

She smiled at Morwen.
"Do not worry, I am here."

(greetings from the shadow maidens )


Deawen's dreams were a staedy flow of terror. she was walking in the woods alone she was alert but not frightened a quick shawdow past from tree to tree around her she could not see who or what it was but it was frightening. Deawen's world spun then Deawen woke up.

Deawen sat up with yelp she looked around her in fear that someone was going to attack, "it's just a dream." Deawen whispered to her self. she got up and sat near the low fire every one was asleep so she just sat there staring into the flames "you shouldn't stare into the flames you know Estel said that could be a fatal mistake" a voice inside her head warned " i know i can't help it it's soothing." she snorted "this elf is she trust worthy?" the voice asked " well... yes i think." Deawen answered glancing at Estel "something wrong Deawen? theres fear in your mind doubt I think is more to the point," "yes doubt but i don't think it's about Estel it's me." "you? why is it you? do you feel helpless... weak?" ""i'm not weak! stop talking!" Deawen hissed aloud "Deawen stop talking to your self and go to sleep!" Morwen yawned " i wasn't." Deawen sighed even though she knew she was, it was something she did when she was troubled she didn't know when she adopted this voice but she did. Deawen crawled back under her covers and slept.

Estel cocked her head, looking oddly at Deawan. Talking to herself... ai? This was a bit strange... but then again... Estel talked to herself alot. In fact, besides the animals, she was really the only one around to talk to most of the time. She shrugged it off, and settled back down into her blankets.

The sun began to rise. It was still a bit dark out, but Estel was already sitting by the fire. She stirred the coals and saw that it was still hot.
"Oh good." she said quietly, as so not to desturb the two sleeping. She had already rolled up her bed roll and put it on the saddle. She didnt know what the two's routiene was... but she could adjust easily. Estel fed Celeg, who had returned during the night.
"Celeg, what did you see?" she asked. The bird chirped... and then spoke. His voice was low and quiet... yet the bird spoke all the same.
"Something... or someone... is out there. However, I could not identify him or her. They are very cunning... be on your guard."
Estel nodded, and made this a mental note. Celeg spoke only to Estel... and when others were not listening. He was shy like that, and not many birds spoke. Estel quietly walked away from the camp, out towards where Celeg had told her to go. She had left her sword behind.

Morwen awoke from her trance. When she couldn't sleep, she fell into the place between sleeping and waking. It had always scared her family, becuase it looked as if she was sleeping with her eyes open. She rolled over and smoothed her hair back with her fingers before getting up. Stretching, she rolled up her bedroll and stowed it away in her pack, then started the bacon and potatoes she had decided on. She found a flat rock, rinsed it off, and placed it on the fire to heat. She sliced the potatoes and put on the bacon. She saw Estel was up, and greeted her.
"Wes ðu hal, Estel."
