Silmaril

Merisuwyniel was delighted that Orogarn (Two! she reminded herself) had been rescued, and proud of her shieldmaiden handmaiden. Pimpiowyn had proved her worth, giving her teacher the feeling that she too had accomplished something. (Her well-trained mind had already pushed away the helpless feeling that had prompted her to give Pimpi the task.) Now all they had to do was get back to the rest of the Company-Ship.

Orogarn was shaking Pimpi’s hand vigorously in thanks; he would have been inclined to express his emotions more – well, heartily, one could say, but there was no telling when the lost boyfriend would turn up. The Half-Halfling maiden beamed with joy and pride; I really am a shieldmaiden!, she thought.

But even as Merisuwyniel turned to leave, the tree swung out a root, and it lashed and curled about her shapely legs, dragging her to the ground. She staggered, and fell, vainly grasping for the mane of her horse, or Buttercup’s curls, or anything she could have held onto. “Try your tools!” she cried, and was gone.

Her companions stood rooted with horror, staring at the black-hearted tree. But it heeded them not. The crack in its trunk snapped shut. Orogarn was alive, but Merisu was taken by the enemy.

(Here ends the part of the second part that is part of the whole history, at least in part. Holiday hiatus…)
