The Green Dragon Inn - Part 9

[Crystal Heart]

Crystal licked her lips, then breathed in slowly before she began to sing,

Every green field
every wandering
that you or I may find
just remember this one saying
that I leave behind

May the road rise up to meet you
may the wind be always at your back
may the Good Lord ever protect you
until you come back

Crystal blushed deeply at her song. She couldn't believe that she would even sing it.

"My mother use to sing that song to me as I fell asleep each night, before she died," Crystal said quietly as she stared at her cup. She couldn't bring herself to look at Angry. She was so embarssed for releasing something that meant so much to her.

Well now he is scared, my voice is hideous and the song was rotten. Crystal thought sadly as she brushed a tear away quickly. She didn't want him to see her cry. She didn't want him to think that she was weak in any way. Her old defenses came up like sheilds around her as she shrugged deeper into the cloak that still concealed her.

The man that had listened was now fighting with other men from Rohan.

Rohan. She looked up, her attention at the ready. She had no idea who they were, but they didn't wear the insignia of her father's army. She was safe. She settled back down and continued to stare into her cup.
