Léspheria

Léspheria's hair whipped behind her as Losseserme sped her back towards the inn. During the ride Léspheria's thoughts had been on Naiore, Her last visit to Gondor had been about this Elf, both King Eomer of Rohan and Lord Faramir of Ithilien had impressed upon the King the need to use what ever means necessary to capture this criminal, When asked what decision the Council of Elves in Rivendell had come to, Léspheria informed them that the council had agreed, but she pressed upon them that if it could be helped there would be no kinslaying, and Elassar learned in their ways and histories, had noted and understood their concern.

Léspheria had agreed with the Elven Council that Naiore had to be stopped, but Disagreed when they spoke of sending out elven trackers to find her and bring her to Rivendell to stand trail before her own people, she had spoke out against this, she knew there was some among them, especially of the houses Finarfin and Malgor who would take matters in to their own hands and Menecin what of him, who could tell what he would do if they met again! She had reminded the Council of the price they had paid the last time the blood of their own had been spilled, but the Council angered by the young ambassadors sore reminder of their past argued that Naiore was the problem of the elves and should be dealt with accordingly, but just as she was about to give up trying to dissuade the council of their folly the Elven Twin's Elrohir and Elladan came to her aid.

They too believed that as most of Naiore crimes where committed against the race of men, her Fate should be left up to them. As they spoke Léspheria sensed that the twins like her, also did not wish to have the blood of one of their own on their hands. But they did press upon her that if Naiore was to come to Imladris they would be forced to protect those within.

As she got nearer the Greenway her thoughts turned to Vanwe, she was concerned for the young elf's safety, even though she knew that several Rangers, Amandur among them where at the inn, but something in her subconscious seem to tell her that the presence of a few rangers would not stop Naiore from retrieving that which was hers. She also recounted what Vanwe had told her regarding her life in the harsh lands of the Haradwaith, It saddened her to think that one as gifted as Vanwe should be treated so ill and abandoned by her own mother.

The emotions that she sensed from Vanwe where often ones of longing, like those of a lost child, waiting to be found. This now worried her slightly, would Vanwe see passed her own preconceived notions of her mother to see who she really was, the Revennor of Mordor! But she too had at first found it hard to believe that one of her kind would be capable of such heinous acts, as those that Naiore was accused of. But now that she knew that Naiore had been her mothers tormentor, she did not find it at all hard to believe.

It was mid afternoon by the time they reached the Greenway again and Léspheria Decided that she would make for Chetwood to call on an old friend. Tallas was an old man who made his home in the southern reaches of the Chetwood, he is difficult to find by those who do not know of him. But He studies apothecary, and some how manages to stock every herb and tincuture imageable, he is also knowledgeable and know's much of all the lands of Arda. It is said that he was once a ranger and Léspheria having traded with him on several occasions believes this to be true, for never is it known for Tallas to trade with less than honourable folk.

Léspheria feeling that she would need to replenish her supplies before aiding the rangers on their hunt, turned Losseserme more to the north and they sped toward the southern reaches of the Chetwood.
