The Green Dragon Inn - Part 9

[WarBringer]

Valthalion walked the destroyed corridors of the Green Dragon Inn, moving toward the pump inside the Inn's stable. His head was swimming, as he went through all that had transpired throughout the day. He had been weary, looking for a place to stay the night. He arrived at the Inn, which was already in flames. He bravely fought the fire, and then watched as it spread to the surrounding trees. Suspecting foul play, he had thought that a southern man had been at fault, only to have the same man accuse him of starting the fire. He had met the Ranger Woman, and Roa, and was set free of all guilt by the Woman. Going into the cellar of the inn, he had saved Roa, a proud and pretty woman akin to the ranger. They had together caught the southern man and a hobbit in the act of stealing, and now here he was, sent away by the strong-willed Roa to rest.

He arrived at the pump, and started to help clean dishes in preparation of the meal. He recieved a mixed reaction from the nearby people. Some regarded the young man with awe, while others looked on scornfully. Valthalion hoped that they would realize that he had nothing to do with the fire, and, that they would commend him for his bravery in the fight, and rescue of the woman. Despite all his deeds that day, he still ached for the chance to prove himself to all, and especially to Roa, whom he now had a deep respect for.
