Okay, get ready, it's kinda confusing. Basically...our group saves Mirima from orcs, Meleth gets wounded in the shoulder by an Uruk, then we get surrounded by Lorien elves and they ask what our business is, blah blah blah. There's a bunch of confusion about who's going to follow the orcs (apparently there are more) and a lot of argument about what Meleth needs to be doing. Eventually we decide to go to Dernhelm's outpost so Meleth can get medicine. Right now we're sleeping. Most of us, anyway. Any questions?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Araniel joined. Heh sorry Araniel, temporary mind *whoosh*

EDIT #2: Um, wanna just pretend you were with us all that time? Just to save you having to come up with some way to rejoin...

(sounds good, thanks a lot guys! )

Kith ran the wetting stone over his blade one last time before sheathing his sword. He stood up and stretched. It had been a long day, and fighting took it out of him. He walked upstairs to where the others were, and sat down against a wall. He watched Meleth, happy that she seemed stable and was getting rest.

OOC: * Wanders back in * Anybody still here? Ahh... It's quite alright Melda... WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FORGOT ME??!?! Just kidding! ^__^ I was gone anyway, so it's okay.

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Cala was resting beneath a tree, her cloak pulled over her like a blanket as she stared off into the distance, her dark emerald eyes glistening intently. Her fingers were entwined within the grass as she fidgeted, pulling up a few shreds every now and again.
She was born and raised in the forests, so she never really liked sleeping indoors except when it was raining, even then she enjoyed the sensation of it on her face, soaking her body to the skin. She got up and then strode towards Halsana and began to lead him around the field, watching as the stallion munched the grass contentedly and then looked up at her occasionally and then went back to eating, this pattern kept going for some time.
"I wonder what Araniel is up to..." She thought to herself and then stroked Haun's feathers as the young falcon landed on her shoulder, letting out a gentle call as he ruffled his feathers. She looked to him, his blazing yellow eyes staring back at her. "We should be going again soon," she sighed heavily. "We have lingered here for too long..." But Huan made an awkward face. "Don't give me that look!" she sighed irritably. "After what happened with Firimori---" She hesitated, wondering if anyone was listening. She clenched her fists bitterly, a few tears escaping. "I just don't want to endure any more pain, again." She walked back to the tree she was sleeping under and began to pack her things.[/font]

[Okay *whoosh* nighttime over (It's very boring to RP a sleeping character )]


Meleth woke the next morning alert and not at all dizzy, though her arm still hurt and she knew that fighting would not be a good idea for the next week or so. She wandered outside, wondering what had made such a huge different in her health during the night. She remembered an odd dream, some elvish words echoing in her head, but nothing else.
Enjoying the quiet, Meleth leaned against a tree and watched the sky turn pink and blue as the sun rose.

(And Cala's medicine, don't forget that! Just kidding!)

[font=Arial, sans-serif]Cala looked over and saw Meleth standing, relieved that she was alright but then her eyes fell downward towards the earth and she let out a heavy sigh, as if something darkened her heart. "I am no wanderer like Araniel..." She thought to herself, scratching her head as she sat down and sighed again. "Maybe, if I had never run away..." She hesitated, whispering to herself so no one would hear. "Maybe I would not be banished, my own father hates me now. And why would anyone ever want a rogue like me...?" She slapped herself and then shook her head. "Come on now, Araniel would never say anything like that! I have to stop feeling sorry for myself..." She stood up and then whistled, rubbing her hands across the dew-licked grass of the new morning and Halsana slowly trotted up. She fastened his saddle slowly and then hopped onto his back. She wouldn't leave... Yet. But she needed a horse ride to clear her mind for now. She clicked her tongue, digging her heels into Halsana's sides and he galloped off along the edge of the forest where for a long while she rode, silently contemplating to herself, still remaining in sight of the outpost.[/font]

Meleth turned in time to see Cala riding away. She frowned a little. Something seems amiss with her... she thought. Then Meleth shook her head, smiling a little to herself. There's something amiss with you, Meleth Elenwen...how many people know what you hide under that facade? How many people know why you are so reluctant to develop a relationship with anyone or why you never talk about your past? Almost nobody, that's who. Because you don't want to get hurt again. Isn't it time to let it go? She looked up, deciding that maybe she and Cala had more in common than she'd thought.

(hey messa BACK!)

Anarane returned to the camp in the morning, and was pleased to see that Meleth had regained her strenght.

Meleth turned to see Anarane coming back. She straightened up. "Did you find anything untoward in your travels?" she asked softly, not wanting to wake the others. "How large is this other company of orcs?"

Dernhelm walked up beside Meleth" i see you have regained your strength. tomorrow we begin to train that arm!"

(*Waves at Ara* Welcome back! )


[font=Arial, sans-serif]Cala sat there, listening observingly to the sounds of the forest and then after a long while she decided to return.

She entered silently into camp, walking past Meleth, Dernhelm and Ara without passing a glance. She led Halsana into the stables, grabbing some feed and then took him out the other end. She took off his bit and his saddles then spoke a few words to him and the horse gratefully nodded and rode off into the forest.

She looked about her, sensing something uneasy, but she figured it was just paranoia and she merely ignored it. She turned again and walked back into the outpost, searching in her pack for some lembas bread.[/font]

"there was nothing. I could not find anything that would indicate the presence of Uruks here, or elves and men other than our company. It seems that they have moved on. It ills me to think of it though. -" she paused. "Oh wait! there was one thing that I did realize though, there seemed to be some irregular tracks down the river, the far side that is. Other than that, there was nothing."

BTW: I have to go in a couple minutes, so I just wanted to say bye in advance!
