Jon... The truth behind the lie

My tale...... But it will not be my tale but instead it will be my destruction. Jon took a sip of his ale making sure his throat was not dry. "Dwaline, what I tell you leaves not this area. For few here know the truth I hide. I name is Jonathan Annatar and my journey to the Shire is like I said. I seek council with the innkeeper, Aman. You see she was a childhood friend. Anyways that does not affect my tale."

Jon took another sip of ale because for some reason his throat was suddenly dry and he dared not talk unless he wet the desert in his neck. "I'm running from a past and a future that I wish not to have. Some say I'm crazy for I see the white crow," Jon turned his head to where he could see Avalon, "I see Avalon every time I wake. I have rode along side Eomer, but only during the war. After the war was over I decided it was time for me to go back to the simple life. I didn't want anymore fighting. I even threatened to throw away my sword. As you can see I didn't. I was fixing to settle down with my childhood sweetheart when something happened changing the life I knew."

The dryness in his throat increased but Jon knew he was going to have to fight it. The truth must get out some how and now was the time to do that. "She went missing and no one has seen her since. Her parents blame me and I don't blame them. Her disappearance is my fault. Had I not of betrayed them then she would still be here." Jon's thoughts went back to his dream. The woman he had seen was the one who left him. Everytime he was around Avalon he felt her close to him. "I search for her. I don't know why but everytime I see Avalon I feel as if she's close to me. You see while in Gondor for a few months I accidently got in with the wrong group. They didn't like the fact that I changed. I didn't wish to hurt people any more. No matter how hard you try to get rid of your past, some home it always comes back to bite you on the butt."

Jon's tale wasn't sad anymore. He wished to forget the life he never had, and for once get rid of the ones who bound him to this world. "I dare not ask what Avalon's tale is. After all the last time I saw my Sarah was three years ago, now I have no one and nothing."
