Tazlure

Eldan thought he understood, but wanted to make sure. "A deception? To trick our enemies. They see what they think is here, not what truly is." He looked at Yari for confirmation. "Not ruins at all, but a fortress, hidden from the prying eyes of our foes." It made sense. Why have...

Eldan's mind struggled to keep up. He was beginning to suspect what had happened, but several things still needed to be explained. Was it not the Thorns that protected T'aquar and the Adhiel? Perhaps this was not as bad as Eldan initially thought. This 'leafsight' would certainly aid in his abilitie...

Eldan was confused. Why had he been sent here? Where was he? His questions unspoken he followed Yari. "My trial? The House of Thorns? What's going on?" Before he could wrest an answer from Yari, a cacophony of noise resounded through his head. He was hearing the squirrel with amazingly hei...

The feeling after he took the pin was strange but wonderful and intriguing as well. He closed his hand over it and let his arm fall back to his side. "Of course they are possible, but some are meant to take a different path. As much as I may want such things, I must continue to walk the path of...

Eldan extended his own hand towards hers, reaching for the silver object in her hand. "Those are the things I desire most. I fight to make them possible one day." He paused, thoughtful. "If I said I could, it would probably be a lie. I am trying, but I am not yet ready to lay down the...

Eldan instinctively flinched when his palm was pricked, a slight grimace on his face, gone as quick as it came. The grimace returned as the ritual continued, his hand burning more and more, the feeling spreading through him. He began to feel unnerved when his sight started to fail him, first blurrin...

As E'uinn motioned for him, Eldan made his way back towards the Adhiel leader, and Thrandil. When he spotted the three figures ahead, he smiled, for they were obviously close to their destination. When the voice spoke, a shiver ran down Eldan's spine. It was almost as if the very forest spoke. He li...

Eldan's heart was warmed by the Achlaroiliu's statement. As E'uinn and Thrandil spit off, Eldan thought of things to come. Perhaps with a leader such as E'uinn, things might turn around for the Adhiel. With his new sword he could help throw off the yoke of human oppression. Perhaps finally be able t...

Eldan traipsed along, exhausted from a long day. His mind was numb, but his thoughts traveled along may courses. He thought momentarily of Evyn, the human boy he had encountered, a bit curious as to the fate of the child. Then they continued onto the battle, and the dead. He thought of Ami, and look...

Poor Ami. Eldan whispered a prayer as he returned Ami's sword, closing her hands on its hilt. The horn he stuck in his belt, a momento to his first battle, and a reminder of the horrors of war. But his spirit was lightening. They had survived. A horrid price was paid, but they yet lived. He was sta...

The horn sounded again and the Orcs pursuing Eldan began to die. For that he was grateful, and he whispered a quick prayer to the Mother in thanks. His saviors revealed themselves, the rest of the Adhiel from the River Gate. He went with the other Adhiel back to the battle site, looking to retrieve ...

Eldan could feel that he was pulling away, his tactic was working. He only hoped the others were making the best of the situation. As he ran he could hear the orcs falling behind in their pursuit, it was time. During his first flight from the orcs he had almost stopped and hid, hoping they would pas...

Eldan ran for his life. He didn't waste a single moment, immediately sprinting off into the woods. Clearly his, and his comrades, best chance at living was for him not to fight, but to run. So he did. Moving as quickly as possible, he weaved in an erractic zig zag pattern, to avoid any projectile we...

Eldan was nearly heartbroken. So many adhiel had died in the fighting, and more surely would. He had to remind himself of his own deadly purpose, and again put the thoughts of the dead from his mind. He was closing in on the pair of orcs facing the adhiel called Kormus when the fight went sour. One ...

Eldan tried to keep his cool when he recognized Ami's corpse. Don't think about it. Mourn later, now is the time for action, he thought as he gave the sword a twirl to try to get a feel for it. Turning towards the faltering leader, Kormus, Eldan began to make his way towards him, trying to circle ar...

Eldan spent a single heartbeat gazing back into the eyes of the dead orc. He smirked slightly. Here I was aching for a fight with the humans. There is nothing glorious here, only death and suffering. His first taste of combat, it seemed, had provided a good lesson. Eldan knew he had to act quickly, ...

Eldan cursed inwardly as the orc blocked his desperate strike. His arm stung a little from the parry and he shook it a little to loosen it up. As his opponent attacked again Eldan got lucky, another orc falling into the blow. That's where his luck ended. The dead or dying orc fell into him, its heav...

Eldan felt arrows speed past him, glad of the level of skill Adhiel bowmen possessed. After putting a few arrows into the charging orcs the numbers were more favorable, or rather, less horrible. But then the orcs closed in. Eldan, like most Adhiel, was short and light, probably weighing less than ha...

Eldan ran for his life, literally. He was finally putting some distance between himself and the pursuing horde when he broke through into the clearing. A better woodsman than he might have remembered the natural landmarks and known he was closing in on the clearing, but to Eldan it was a surprise. H...

Eldan heard something behind him, presumably an orc, shout out. Moments later projectiles began to hit the trees next to him. As he ran he saw the orcish silhouettes around him. As a horn sounded out, he realized that, no matter how fast he ran, the others would now already know of the orcs. Now was...

Of course it's not a rock, that would be too convenient, thought Eldan as he looked around, looking for sources of it's origin. And then he saw it, clear as day. An orc footprint in the mud. Instantly he drew back his bowstring, kneeling down and twisting around, looking again to see if he could sp...

Eldan stopped immediately when he spotted the shiny object. His bow still out, an arrow knocked, he looked around cautiously before approaching the object, very slowly, attempting to stay quiet and in the shadows. Wary of a trap, he alternated between glancing at the object and scanning his surround...

Eldan was caught listening to the conversation unaware, though Theorn had shown no indication of it. Eldan hopped down from the branch he was perched on. "It shall be," was all he replied before sneaking off into the forest. Attempting to be as quiet and stealthy as possible, he began an v...

After Eldan had returned with the boy, they had taken a journey along the river. He hardly new anybody except those he had been on patrol with. When they stopped, he kept to himself, pulling himself up onto a nearby branch. There he pulled out his bow, knocked an arrow, and just waited, watching. He...

Eldan grimaced as the boy bit his hand, resisting the urge to strike the boy to still him. Locking eyes with the child he firmly said, "You should not..." he paused, searching for the word, "oppose. I will take you to safety. But for mine, I must search you. Be still, and quiet."...
