May It Be

[Indril Anarion]

<Luthien>
Luthien looked around. She then recognized the voice as that of the Lady.
<Luthien, you must find Fimbren. He is lost and in need of your assistance. Go help him>

<Yes, m'lady>

Luthien looked at Opan.

"We must find Fimbren," she told her.

"But what of the others," said Opan, looking towards the direction that they had disappeared.
"We can catch up to them later," said Luthien.
"Then let's find Fimbren," said Opan.

Luthien and Opan rode through the forest, killing several orcs as they passed. Luthien could feel the Lady guiding them. How she desired to gaze upon the face of the Lady, but that would have to wait. Fimbren needed them. They continued to ride, when they heard a rustling in the trees. She halted her horse and fitted an arrow into her bow. She shot it at a nearby figure, pinning him by his sleeve to a nearby tree.

She dismounted her horse and walked over to the figure struggling to get free. Her eyes widened when she saw Fimbren.

"Oh, let me help you with that," she said, pulling the arrow out of the tree. "We've been searching for you."

[Kalile]

"Where is everyone? They should have come by now?" Kalile voiced everyone's concern.
"I sent Luthien to find Fimbren, but the others..." Galadriel bit her lip, plainly worried.


Ooc: Cue everyone!

[Nariel]

Myanduri was with Galadriel, in awe of the elf-queen and her glory. But suddenly she felt something. No, someone. It was Fimbren. He was in the wood. Somewhere.

Suddenly Galadriel was looking at her. No, into her. <Your senses are keen, young one> Mya heard in her head. <But it is not yet time for you to know that part of your past.>

Mya hated that part. The elves, whom she had grown to hate (though not so much anymore), knew more about her past (and possibly her future) than she did. How was Fimbren involved in her past? Or her future?

[Kalile]

Let's get this thing moving!

Ic: "Do you think that the others have been attacked? I don't know why else they would dawdle..." Galadriel looked worried for a moment, and closed her eyes.

Ooc: Come on, everyone!!!

[Indril Anarion]

OOC: I'm waiting for Fimbren to post

[Finrod Felagund]

Fimbren looked at Opan and Luthien. "We must make great haste. Ride quickly, we must reach Lorien!" He whistled and Nahar galoped up. He mounted and the three of them rode off. They did not see the host of orcs coming from behind them, nor did the orcs see them. But the orcs came, marching relentlessly towards the golden wood.

[Nariel]

Orcs! Mya felt them. She ran off in the direction of the fight. But before she could go anywhere, she saw Galadriel before her with a hand held out to stop her. <NOT YET!> she thought. Mya fell to the ground in a deep sleep.

ooc: Okay, everyone, I'm going on vacation for a week. I'll probably be back next monday. See you then!

[Kalile]

"What?" Kalile jumped up, her hand going to her sword.
"We must make haste back to our city," Celebriel replied swiftly, and strode off. Before he got a hundred paces, however, a black feathered arrow sped past the Elf king, landing at eye level in a nearby tree.
"I didn't have to miss," a harsh voice tore from the shadows," but you are more of use alive."
Suddenly the clearing was bristling with arrows, as an orc stepped into view.
"Take the rulers. We need them alive."
Another asked," What about the other two?"
"Take them too, in case their party decides to follow us," the first replied after a moment.

"Don't do anything stupid Seth," Kalile murmured sharply.

Ooc: Well, you know you were going to!

[Indril Anarion]

Luthien rode in haste after Fimbren. As they reached the boundaries of Lorien, the pungent smell of orcs made them stop.

"Orcs are near," she said, looking at Fimbren. "We should exercise caution."

Luthien dismounted and led her horse through the forest, the other two following her. She stopped in front of a large bush and peered through the leaves in time to see a large orc, apparently a leader of some kind, threaten the Lady and Lord of the Golden Wood. Anger flooded her heart, and she wanted to slit the throats of all the orcs, but she knew that she had to keep silent and watch for the opportune moment.

[Kalile]

Yay! Another person!

[The last sane person]

"I dont do stupid things, Stupid people just mess it all up!" I hissed back. I took a quick count of the orcs and saw but ten armed with bows, then i saw Luthien.

Now would be the time to use those skills of yours and kill these things i told her in her mind.

I would, but how many? she asked.

ten, and they were stupid enough to come in pyramid formation.

whats that?

in neat little rows of them until there is but one in the front! get fimbren and Opan to fire at the ones closest, i'll take care of the ones in front!on my signal, let loose your arrows! i felt her nod. before anything happened i sent The Rulers a meesage

hit the dirt! they did and as they did i sent Kalile this message;

ATTACK! in little time the orcs were dead and we were off to the elvish city.

[Indril Anarion]

Once the orcs were dead, Luthien caught up with Seth.

"That was good thinking," she said. "But we must hurry. No telling what other orc regiment is nearby or in pursuit."

[The last sane person]

"True. I will be rear guard. You go up ahead and scout ahead." I smiled and she nodded.

[Indril Anarion]

Luthien lept from tree to tree in complete silence, scouting for any other orc regiments that could be nearby. She found none, surprisingly.

She stayed in one tree and leaned against the trunk closing her eyes, trying to use her other senses to verify any orcs' presence. A hint of orc stench reached her nose. Something was nearby. But it did not strengthen, indicating that the orc or orcs were moving away from them. She tried to send this information to Seth, knowing well of his telepathic abilities.

Seth...she didn't recall ever seeing him smile like he did several moments before. Yes, he smirked often, but never did he smile.

[Kalile]

Kalile noticed the smile also, and was glad to see it. Seth hadn't smiled in far too long. Warrl had taken to calling him 'Ironface' or 'Wood-block'
The block is cracking Warrl commented dryly, and Kalile ignored him.

"I haven't killed orcs in too long," she said instead, "it feels good."

[The last sane person]

heh. 'Ironface' is it? well, i guess thats true. i thought to myself. I sighed and wiped the smile off my face and continued on when i caught on to Luthiens message. i am afraid i had to stay a peice of iron just a bit longer.

Good. Do you think you could follow them in the trees and see where they-or it-might be headed? Dont let yourself be seen.

[Indril Anarion]

I can manage that, Luthien thought.


Silently she began moving from tree to tree with speed. In no time, she had caught up to a small band of orcs, apparently patroling the area, for they kept to a particular route.

"There's talk about intruders," one orc said to another.

"I hear they took down the powerful Mage," said another.

"Shut up! You two don't know what your talking about," said a very large orc, walking up to the two other ones.

"What if we don't want to?" said the first.

Without a moment's notice, the first orc fell dead at the hands of the very large one.

"And may that be a lesson to the rest of ya," the large one snarled.

The rest of the orcs returned to their formation and were silent.
Sorry to have to break up the party boys, thought Luthien, aiming her arrow at the large orc, apparently the troupe leader. With a swift moevent, the arrow was soon fitted in between the eyes of the orc. The rest of the orcs began to scatter, but Luthien killed them all off. Once the last orc fell, she tucked a loose hair behind her ear and sat against the trunk of the tree.

All clear for now, Seth

[Nariel]

Myanduri awoke from her sleep and found herself transported to the middle of the group. As she got up, she looked around and wondered why she had fallen asleep in mid-stride

[The last sane person]

"I see the sleeping beauty has awoken." i chuckled as i found a bemused Myanduri wandering around.

"Ha ha. I forgot how to laugh. How did i fall asleep?" she inquired blandly.

"It was not your time to fight, young miss." Galadriel said. "it was about time you woke up. I was beginning to worry if i had put you under too strong a charm." She smiled and we continued on until we were at the gates of the City.

Hey, Luthien. Get back on the double. We are at the City of the Galadhrim and it would be best if we were all together. on a second note i added did you have some happy hunting?
