Alcyávëiel watched Merenwen's site from a distance.The sun was creeping up the horizon,and the weather was clear,without a hint of rain,or even fog.She slumped on a rock,leaning against the short,but broad shoulder of Grain's.
"Merenwen and I,we've known each other for many,many years"she sighed deeply,"I will miss her,but I know I will see her again.She's in much better company than the trolls and dragons that live here".
She turned,looking at Grain until he leaned over to face her."I could leave for a better world,but I have too many friends and ties to this place to go now....I soppose she'll have to wait on me,after 4079 years,I have to say I like it here"she said with a grin,soon the grin was reflected in Grain's face.
By now,the sun turned the sky into a greyish blue."Come Grain"she said in a dull voice,"time to gather the team and leave"Grain followed her towards the camp as she walked on,staring at the sky.
