Return of the Journey. Ic

[Merlyn22]

Blackness met her eyes when she woke. A piercing blackness that seemingly nothing could penitrate. She closed and opened her eyes as she regain her vision. She let out a loud huff and started up. She clambered out of bed and bathed. She didn't know when her next bath would be. As she clambered out her hair drying almost instantly she grabbed a pair of trousers and a loose blouse. She threw on her nearly perfect armor. she grabbed her bow and arrows and slung them over her back. She headed toward the peak of rivendell. Not leaving the palace like place.

Aylana stood drinking in the sight of the now rising sun. Her blue eyes searching for ant sign of trouble or mayhem. And she waited. For this she had chosen to come. Finding them had been a feat itself. They were all trained and ready. She pulled out the small metal sphere and began to examine it. As she saw it nearly breakfast she headed back to the dining hall. Slipping the sphere into her pocket.

Eradin was waiting in the dining hall behind a lavish elf pillar. "Good morning, Aylana." He said, slipping away from the pillar and into the light of the radiant sun that had been rising to show a new day. "Looking well and beautiful as always, as every elf should. Have the others arrived?" His hood was down and his hair was messy. His clothes looked as if he had walked all the way from Mirkwood, only to be stuck in a storm in the Misty Mountains. For short, he looked like crap.

Ardatur finally reached the city of Rivendell. He looked at the marvelous architecture of the elves. It was certainly different from those of men. The elves never ceased to amaze him. He led his trusty steed to the stables. He then turned to the stableboy and handed him some extra coin. "Make sure he gets some extra oats." He then left, and walked through Rivendell, looking for the others.

"Just throw the damn ax;already!" shouted the husky human, as his patience was wearing thin.
The red bearded dwarf smiled from ear to ear as he picked up the large mug of ale, "Patience lad," he said as he tilted his head back;finishing off his drink.
"Don't fret none Vulf..he's so drunk; he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn." laughed one of the patrons.
No one saw him even draw the ax or knew that he threw it, til there was a loud *clunk* and all eyes viewed the dwarf's ax blade stuck in the bulls eye.
"Drunk I may be, but there will never be a human...who can out throw me." laughed Bruenor, as he walked over and fetched his ax back.
The human cursed and shoved his friend outta the way in anger, "How are you at hitting moving objects?" he challenged.
"Lad, there is no reason to add humility to loss." replied the stout dwarf as he rolled the ax handle in his hands.

Aylana heard the heavy breathing of a dunedain. She smiled her face lighting up that some one had come. "Good morning Eradin." He was quite a scruffy looking fellow but hey it looked good on him. She smiled. This was better she could hear Ardatur. "You flatter me Eradin. You must sit by me and tell me of your adventures as we eat breakfast. I am most interested." Aylana said her eyes sparkling in the new day light. She headed toward the table and sat down. She bit her lip. She really did want to leave before 11.

"Of course, Aylana." He sat next to her, holding something in his hands. "The journey here was not a dangerous one, but....it is strange. On my way here, a pack of Wargs seemed to be running from the direction of which I came. It looked like they had just left the plains of Rohan, like something scared them off. I smelt and saw no fire or bloodshed, so no combat seemed to be involved....I retrieved this from the pack leader. I thought it attacked me, but when I saw the other Wargs pass me, I was wrong." Eradin put an amulet upon the table. It looked like it might have been made during the Second or First Age. Nonetheless, it was a rare and ancient piece of jewelry.

[Whispers]

There was a small scuffling sound in the dining hall as Golby scuttled into the dining hall, knocking over patrons and procrastinators alike. Ducking under the leg of a rather tall elf, he ran on all fours towards Aylana and Eradin. His black cloak did nothing to hinder his movement as he did a high leap into the air, landing lightly onto the table's top. He merely looked at the amulet before looking back at Eradin.

''Golby wants shiny. Can Golby have Shiny?''

Branwen saw Aylana in the dining hall and walked up to her. "Moring Aylana, you must introduce me to your friend." She sat down on the other side of her. She grabbed eagerly at the food before her. She knew it was best not to eat to much before a journey but she was famished. She looked around, she wondered where the rest of the party was. She pulled her hair back so as not to get it in her food.

[Merlyn22]

"That is indeed strange. I have never seen a wart run from something," Aylana said her eyes huge as she lifted the relic. The markings were like the ones on the map. She was interrupted as Golby scattered on to the table. "No Golby may not have shiny. Golby will have shiny later," Aylana said and then saw Branwen. Aylana was not particularly close to Branwen but she was reliable. "Branwen this is Eradin, Eradin this is Branwen. Now while we wait for the others lets have some breakfast."

[CorruptedShadow]

Eradin drew his sword on Golby...but put it away after Aylana's kindness towards the creature. He sat back down, looking at the amulet until Branwen entered. "Why do I always seem to be close to such charming maidens. It is a pleasure, half elf I assume? And it is fine, I have no need for breakfast." He took out a pipe and began smoking it with some Toby. He puffed out the smoke, thinking of how the journey will become.
