Soronûmë approached Khôrbar who he found softly singing.
"Such a song" he said gaining the rangers attention, "though not one to share. Is our company so tiresome?"
Khôrbar took time over his answer. "Tiresome it is not Soronûmë, the company is well." He continued hesitantly, "but so weak, all the women..."
Soronûmë interupted him, "these women are far from weak. Each posesses a skill in battle, one that they have already proven to us all. Elentari holds a powerful magic though the control she has over it I hold currently in doubt." He seemed to be straying from his point somewhat. "And Hreeza, is it that a weak company should have an elemental with them?"
"Indeed not" replied Khôrbar with some thought. "The company are not weak, forgive me." Soronûmë nodded for he was not trying to make an enemy of the ranger. "But why" asked Khôrbar, "why would you take up upon such quest with them? You have no more purpose than to take upon some perilous journey?"
"For the same reason you have" he replied, to which Khôrbar could question no more. He knew exactly what this Soronûmë had meant.
"I am sure that you posses a power greater than you let be known to them Soronûmë" Khôrbar said turning back to the group following behind. "Your healing abilities are not those which are learnt at pace. It is some past you must have behind you, for you are not of certain birth."
"No I am not." Soronûmë spoke just above a whisper. "Indeed my birth is unknown to me. It was a great friend I had in my brother who taught me well about healing. And even in the short time I have been with this company it has been called upon twice."
With that last sentance the two came to a worthy sight. A great river stood not such a distance from them. It seemed the group had been travelling some time. The company caught up to Soronûmë and Khôrbar and stood in awe at the sight of the flowing river...
