Sorai shifted and turned, curling into herself as the night's silence began to settle on their little clearing. "I do not think he would believe so." The words were spoken just as she drifted off to sleep, almost as though he had put a spell on her to make sure it would be the last thing that...

”All we can ever do is what we can.” Myrdin said in response to her, the small smile on his face making it clear that he expected nothing. Even if she wanted to give more. In his youth he'd made the folly of expectation, and it had lead him down only a path of anger and vengeance. Sentiments...

Myr held up a hand to stop her words, his head shaking. "Whatever crime they might see, has already been done." Using such a word felt harsh. His people had laws of course, but there was none against bringing a human here. Not written anyway. No one would try to throw him in prison, no one...

As Sorai settled down, Myrdin slowly began to roam the small space beneath the tree. From the ground he picked up small scraps of bark, leaves, and even twigs that had fallen. Slowly moving around to collect his bounty piece by piece. All of it was stacked within the small center of their root...

"It doesn't like what you are." Myrdin knew that the slight distinction would likely be lost on the sinking feeling in her chest. The Old Wood was something else all together, not just a thing, but a living and breathing entity. When stepping within the forest, you stepped among it's roots and...

It was close now; the Old Wood. One could feel it here and more with every breath. Countless times he had walked these borders, but only a few had he actually stepped beyond. A long breath filled his lungs, and as Sorai spoke Myrdin's eyes fell open. "No, I don't think they would." He said...

Myrdin smiled. "You do not have small minds, just small...perspectives." He assured her, though he did not know why. A century ago he would have readily pounced on her words and used it in an argument against any other of her kind. Now? That impulse was not there. Some of the anger still...

Myr smiled softly. "They are old friends, in a way." The oldest he had left. "Some were planted when I was only a boy, three hundred years ago." He shook his head, remembering the work that had been done after the second and third war. The time it had taken to restore what they could of the...

"You would be surprised." Myr said with an almost mischievous smile. It was not an expression often worn by an elf, but in that moment it seemed to fit him better than most. There was a light in his eye, and slowly Myrdin leaned in towards Sorai. Over the gentle babble of the river beneath them...

"Perhaps they will surprise us both." Myr said, smiling softly, though the words did not seem hopeful. Katyr had come from a family of strong will, and stronger resolve. In the first war they had been the Vanguard of the Elven armies. Burning through Anirian lands until there was nothing but ash...

Myr tilted his head in a nod. "I suppose it is only right, in a way." He did not know if Katyr would have taken her this far. He did not know if his old friend had intended for her to see...any of this, but that did not matter any more. She was held to an oath to see his body home, and he would...

Myrdin gently raised his hand to forestall more of her questions. There would be many of them by th end, and he would surely answer them all. One answer would eventually lead into another, and only then would she properly understand. "You do not need to apologize." He began first of all. "We...

"That is good." Myrdin said, tilting his head in a nod. He had not thought Sorai wouldn't be respectful, as she had already been, but hearing her say it brought a small amount of relief. A human walking within the Falwood was bad enough to some, Leth'Loren? In truth, he still had no idea if...

Myr couldn't help the smile that drew upon his lips. Four hundred years later. The Elf mused within his own mind as he saw the conviction in Sorai's eyes. Still inspiring such loyalty. For a brief, mournful moment, Myr cast a glance towards the body of his friend. The smile tightened only a...

Myr situated himself, taking up the paddle as she noted Sorai's continued apprehension. Briefly he found himself wondering if there might not have been an easier way to ease her through all of this. There was little doubt she was a stranger in a strange land, but naught all was as bad as it...
