10 - Bronithe

Finally, after an exchanged of few words with Finrod, the woman noticed them. She bowed her head and regarded all of them.            “My name is Magor.” That was all she said before she went silent again.            Everybody looked at her imploringly to hear more of her but it was futile. She just stared back at them with her face expressionless.            “You have to excuse her.” Finrod intervened. “Dragons naturally prefer to stay silent. A complete opposite to our fellow mermen here but you’ll get along enough.”            “Don’t worry, Prince Finrod.” Captain Aquilus said. “We mermen have lived with dragons. Why, they’re just above our waters!”            The mermen chee

11 - Forerunner of Doom

A blow of horn settled the multitude of creatures in Tranjie. All eyes were on Queen Aera standing near the trunk of the Virsathen.            Margarette was calmed down by Finrod and taken to rest at some place. Ellaine stood among the crowds, beside the elf prince at the front row. She kept looking back, searching for Caeruleus and Yntreia.            “Can you keep still?” Finrod muttered.            “I’m looking for Caeruleus and Yntreia.”            “Good folks, tonight, we are once again celebrating the courage and selflessness of an elf woman. This Bronithe..”            Ellaine’s mind drifted. She didn’t feel the heavy crowd around her, hear the voice of Queen Aera, or se

12 - The Task

The supposed-to-be joyful celebration of the Bronithe ended up with fear, grief, and rage. The crowd was in much confusion and turmoil. The women were in panic and the men were starting to fight amongst themselves. Everybody was shaken and hope had left them weak and vulnerable.Ellaine looked around her and felt the strong terror provoked by the assault. The peace in Lenriad was completely ruined.“People, let us all calm down and think of a way to survive this.” Queen Aera raised her voice to be heard around Tranjie.“If the Dark Child is anything like the Dark One, fighting him would be like digging our own graves!” A fair tall man from the crowd said. “Everybody knows that Murdathes are slaves of the Dark One! They are now serving his heir!”“I knew it! When the Dark One was defeated and the peace was restored, I knew it wouldn’t last!” The woman beside him wept. “The great Virsathen’s sacrifice was for naught! Let us just hide and pray that t

13 - The Ghost Town Hermit

They flew away from Tranjie without assurance of the success of their cause.Ellaine admitted that her plan back at Tranjie was just a result of nerves. She travelled with anxiousness and doubt that they can do it.“They respect you. They think you are some kind of priestess appointed by the holy Virsathen herself.” Finrod told her.“What about you? What do you think about me?”“I don’t think the Virsathen blessed you as priestess. I have a strong feeling that her intention is different.”Fleetingly, she considered Margarette’s plan of going back to Earth. If only the disturbance in Bronithe didn’t come about, she must’ve been having a long rest on her bed back in Dela Paz. But she had things to do in Lenriad. Travelling by air, they passed by the green pastures of the Shiarre Eugoroa. She also saw the pixie forest, so gloomy and silent.   Their next destination was Shasta. Margarette said she felt presence of the Murda

14 - Deception

“He’s right there!” Margarette pointed at a lone archer’s tower at the end of Elsinore.            They ran to the foot of the tower and climbed a wooden ladder. At the top of the tower was Caeruleus, lying on the cold floor dirty and wounded.            “Caeruleus!” Ellaine rushed to his aid. She put the lid of her vial near his lips and let him drink. “What happened to you?”            “The Murdathes, she tortured me.” He coughed weakly.            “Don’t exhaust yourself.” Ellaine said. She instructed Finrod to help her lift Caeruleus. “We already have one of the fragments. Just another one left and we can steal the other one in the Dark Child’s possession.”            “You’v

15 - War for Peace

Right at that moment, as they stared back at each other, Ellaine knew that she was and preferred to call herself Inwë.            She heard loud grunts of men, clash of swords, explosion of spells, and shouts of pain. The war was she against the Dark Child, the Lenriad troops against the poisonous Noimstre and the Leprechauns, and Margarette with the dragons against Murdathes—a pretty tight match.            Inwë guarded her thoughts and closed her mind. She prevented too much of eye movement. That way, Ánië won’t be able to read her thoughts.At the same time, she did all ways possible to read her opponent’s next move. Her psyche travelled out of her conscience and into Ánië’s mind. Several times, she was effectively blocked. But in the end..Right.She quickly grabbed a sword from the ground and deflected Ánië’s attack to her right.“C

16 - Healing Wounds

Margarette’s interment was attended by all her friends and acquaintances since she was old enough to speak. There were many testaments as to her habits, logic, kindness and principles.            There were familiar faces like Feucher, Inwë’s father, and the dragons.            All the while, Inwë was grieving. Yes, she knew the truth about her family but why did she have to loose one of them?            “That’s alright, child.” Her father Albert said.            She found his and Estelel’s voice locked up in a box in Ánië’s tower.  It was calling to her and released their voices.            Every elf in Skeifaiah has a tree of his/her own there. In time, they will be burie
