The whinney of a passing horse beneath her window reminded Mirima that she had wished to ride Illith today. Dressing quickly into her riding dress, she went to her father's private stables to saddle her darling, Illith. Mounting expertly, she galloped into the surrounding forest, intending to seek out a small waterfall to the north. Perhaps that sacred spot would help her think more clearly.

"I do know better than you-on this issue, but, your are an elf, and i respect that. So..."with a flick of Dernhelms wrist his men lowered their bows."I will let you, on the issue if i am allowed to join you."

Anarane, realizing all of the commotion that was happening in the forest turned, and went to the place. She saw the two elves standing and argueing with each other and moved closer.
"What is this disturbance in the wood?"
she inquired moveing swiftly to pull out her long knife instead of her bow and arrows.

Fearan ran through the forrest. He heard shouting up ahead, and one of those voices he knew. Dernhelm. I should now better than to get involed in an argument when he's involved, but its too late now. Fearan thought. He stoped his running as he met the party, just in time to see a woman draw knives. And ask "What is this disturbance in the woods?" Fearan bowed his head. he had not done anything, or so he hoped.

"That is just what I was about to ask. I am Anarane, and I help to protect and guard these lands. I have been traveling trough the wood in order to find a disturbamce, this is what I came upon."

"And my name is Fearan." He answered. "I hope I have not done anything to disturb these woods."

Rhavaniel let her eyes graze over the men, not even flinching. She had held her head high- with an almost noble bearing. "IMy name is Rhavaniel, March warden of Mirkwood, and I have word for Haldir, my father- my kings body-guard - sends most humble greetings. You know him," she turned on the first elf "dont you?"

"Greetings, Fearan and Lady Rhavaniel. I should tell you that your father has been like such to me. I indeed know him, however as you can see he is not here for normally he would be. Haldir is in the heart of Lothlorien with the Lady Galadriel."

My name is of no great consequence, but i assure you, the disturbance is gone, we have settled. But," he said as he saw the long knifes" my men and i still outnumber you, so put away your arms and we can do this...diplomatically."

"If your name is of no great consequence, Dernhelm, why not tell her?" Fearan asked

"What is your buisness in the Wood?"Anarane questioned, while lowering her knives, and eyeing everyone around her and their own weapons.

Fearan!!! long time since Rivendell!!" he said as he embraced Fearan" How have you been you old man? and as for you question my lady, i track a party of orcs across the forest, hoping to rid the elves of their presence."

"There have been no sighting of orcs near here, they cannot pass the border of this land. And yet you still say that they have done so?" said Anarane with a confused and questioning look in her eye.

"I know they have done so, as i was ordered by the lady of the wood to hunt them down, and do other errands for her" he said with a gleam in his eye

Meleth listened to this back-and-forth with some interest. She grinned slightly. It sounded as though there was more than a little confusion between parties here. She slung her bow over her shoulder and slid the arrow back into its quiver. "My business in this wood is my own," she said, in answer to Anarane's question. "My name is Meleth Elenwen."

"Meleth Elenwen!!! The lady of the wood spoke of you. You were involved in an orcen raid and your family was killed. But she thought you were dead!"
