Léoflic looked up and smiled at Mayonnette. "Thank you. You are a true friend and I am glad to be here with you. I will do all in my power to help you find your sister. I promise."

Just then, a voice spoke behind them, startling him. "Do not dwell on such things, Léoflic. The past cannot be changed. It is tomorrow that we are entrusted to better. There is nothing that we can do about yesterday."

Léoflic turned quickly around and saw that it was Edhener who had spoken. His face taughtened in anger. "I cannot believe you! I said that I wanted to talk to Mayonnette alone!! Why did you eavesdrop!?" he hissed quietly.

He then saw the look of hurt on Edhener and realised what he had done. "I am sorry Edhener. It's just that this was supposed to be a private conversation. I truly am sorry. And you're right. I should not dwell on what has passed, but what lies in the future."

He looked at both Mayonnette and Edhener. He decided to tell him what was in his heart. "I must tell you now, however, that I feel something ill to come of this quest. I have a feeling that there will be bloodshed on both sides. But I also feel it in me that I shall have to face whoever it is who kidnapped Sandrina. So this is what I ask of you both. When we come face to face with the kidnapper, let me confront him. For if it is my old friend, I have more than one ailment to deal with." He looked at both of them, hoping that they would allow this.

Mayonette nodded. She understood what he felt that we needed to do.

"Do what you need to do, but we won't be able to get the people that kidnapped Sandrina if we are just sitting here. We need to ride," she replied. She walked over to the map. There was a distinct cottage outlined and she knew in her heart that that was where she needed to go.

"We need to go there. We've daddled long enough. Let's go!" Mayonette said as took the map. She swung her leg up and over and landing gracefully into the saddle. She pulled out her sword.

"Whomever wants to stay and talk and kiss and whatever. Fine, do what you will. But I'm going ahead and I'm saving my sister. Time is precious and we've wasted too much already," she said to the group. She kicked her horse hard and away she flew in the direction of the cottage.

Edhener bit his lips as Leoflic rebucked him. He knew that the lad was right. He should stop eavesdroping on others' conversation. Yet he could not help feeling bitterness inside himself. People called him unfriendly, much too reluctant to be around company and too suspicious. Well, they could not blame him. Look what he got from trying to comfort someone.

Yet he said nothing of that to Leoflic. They could not afford a fight, and also he knew Leoflic had enough troubles without having an unfriendly companion raging at him. He smiled at him and nodded, to show him that he was not offended. And he could not help feeling alarmed and uneasy. He too had a feeling that something might go wrong. Yet maybe that was natural. Wasn't it normal to feel a little worried? And also, such feelings did not always come true. He knew that from experience.

He was more than glad when Mayonette ordered them to leave. Indeed, they had tarried much too long. He stood for some moments, watching Mayonette ride away, without waiting to see whether her orders were being followed or not, then he too sprang on his horse with a shout, and rode after her. All worries, all fears were forgotten. He was riding again, no longer wasting his time with pointless talking, and his heart beat fast at the thought of great deeds ahead of him.

As soon as Mayonnette ordered everyone on the move, Léoflic gathered himself up quickly, grabbed his belongings and jumped on the back of Aldor. "Are you ready my friend?" he whispered. "It's time to go...and seek vengence!"

He spurred Aldor on after Mayonnette. He looked ahead and noticed that Edhener was ahead of him. He spurred Aldor on to catch up to him.

"Listen my friend," Léoflic said as he caught up to him. "There is no need for you to be beating yourself up. I lost my temper. And when I call you my friend, I mean it. I know you will have my back in any fight, and know that I have yours in mine." He reached over and pat his back cheerfully. "Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to wait for Elfride for I would like to have a few words with her."

Dimturiel · 09-12-2006, 04:56 AM

Edhener was woken from his thoughts of battles and glory by Leoflic's voice. He turned and saw that Leoflic was now riding beside him. He listened to his companion's words, glad to know that there was no more enmity between them. And he knew that what he was saying was true. Indeed, in a battle, they could rely on each other. He grinned, and said in a cheerful voice:

"No matter. What has been, has been, and it would be better if we forgot it. And yes, you were right. You can count on my sword in battle. And something tells me that soon enough I will give you proof of this."

He nodded to Leoflic, and then he rode on. He could not understand why he suddenly felt so cheerful, and whence came his unexpected desire to sing, yet not the songs of battle that he knew best, but new ones, of light, and friendship, and happiness. He thought he could see things differenetly, as if a dark veil that had stood over his eyes was suddenly lifted. Yet this lasted only a few moments. He suddenly remembered who he was, and where he was heading, and for what reason.

And also, he recalled the happenings of last evening- had it really been so short a whlie ago? It semed as if months had passed since then- and his heart beat faster with anger. There had been her cold words, her disdainful looks, he had not once since morning thought about them, yet how could he had forgotten them? She was the reason that brought him here, the desire to show her that he was capable of great deeds, to impress her, to make her admire him. And he would do that, even if that meant that he had to die in order to achieve this.

"Yet this would do no good to you and only ill to her."Edhener found himself thinking. Indeed, that was so. But as he looked at the forest that loomed ahead of him, and as he thought of what he might meet there, the thought of battle again entered his being, and a fey smile was again playing on his lips.

Garnae turned away in embarassment. Why did I have to go so far? It's so typical of me. He was conveniently distracted (and annoyed) however, by Mayonette leaping on to a horse and making a bold gesture. Curses! Why can't these women learn patience? But he was glad for the interruption.

Leaping to Crean, Garnae made sure he had everything on him. A bow, a sword. These will be needed before the end, no doubt. Once again, there is time for relaxation when this is done. He wondered if they would make a song about their band. Hear now the deeds of Mayonette's adventurers eight-counted! Righted a man of treachery, saved a child in jeopardy, renowned in battle and bravery! Garnae reminded himself that there was nothing that special about this mission. But it was his mission. Their mission.

Cordelia Harrison · 09-13-2006, 06:44 AM

Cordelia saw him look away, his face flushing. She let go of his hand and turned away. How could she have believed so strongly in him wanting her to be his for all thime? She shoved the disappointment back into the depths of her mind. She scolded herself for falling, for believing that someone actually wanted her. Garnae was only human after all and he probably was realizing that she was more trouble than she was worth.

Then again, if that was true then why had he even mention coming to stay with him? Did he think that she would give herself to him without being in the confines of marriage? If he thought that then he didn't know her.

Yet, she couldn't really see Garnae believing that. He was a noble man and deep down she knew that he didn't want to hurt her.

Perhaps she should have just said yes and dealt with it later. Now was certainly not the time to be dealing with love, or the lack that might have occured because of her words.

She watched as Mayonette flew off on her horse. She jumped up onto her mount and raced to catch her.

It wasn't too hard. They had raced many times in their childhood. She pulled the horse level with Mayonette's.

"Where are we going?" She asked her, keeping her eye out for danger. Mayonette handed her the map. Cordelia looked down at it and noticed the trails that led directly to the cottage. Was it a trap? It seemed all too easy.
