The forest whipped past in a flurry of colors as Zero and Dewshine rode upon the great wolf. The creature hadn't shied away from him, hadn't even tensed up as he had believed it would. With a grim smile, he thought he was ready to acknowledge that perhaps his life had finally changed course onto a lighter, happier road.
No more than five minutes had elapsed when the wolf abruptly slowed its pace, finally coming to a halt before what Zero assumed must be the Elven Kingdom of Lorien.
"It's beautiful," he commented in awe whilst sliding down from the wolf's back. He turned to assist Dewshine down.

*Dewshine knew perfectly well how to get down from a wolf, but since Zero's touch made her soft skin blush and her heart beat faster, she graciously accepted his assistance.*
"Thank you." *She smiled.* "There are a lot of things to see and do here, but if you like to settle down and rest a bit, we could start by getting you somewhere to stay. I was kicked out from my parents house after the rape, so I could need somewhere to stay as well."
*She looked down and blushed. She would have liked to stay with him, but she was too shy to ask him directly.*

((Aw, she's so cute.))
Zero cocked his head slightly to the right, leaving his hair sloping at an angle as well.
"I was under the impression that we would stay together."

((Thank you. And he is very handsome.))
*Dewshine blushed and looked deeply into his eyes.*
"I would love to stay with you. There are several rooms inside the castle. Or if you want something more private, we have treehouses here. What would you like?"

((Thanks. ) "Privacy would be nice," he replied distractedly, noting that it was difficult not to be affected by those particularly blue eyes of hers.

*Dewshine's pink, soft lips parted in a radiant smile, showing her shiny white teeth. Her bright blue eyes sparkled like sapphires, and her blond curls where shining like gold.*
"Please follow me, I know about a treehouse that is vacant. It should be big enough for the three of us."
*She walked over to a tree and started climbing.*
((Do you want to start a new post in their treehouse?))

Zero's eyes traced over every last feature of her seemingly perfect countenance as he silently complied and began to ascend the tree as well.
((Hmm... you can do it since I did it last time.))

**NEW DAY**
*Anastasia hadn't been sure the road would open for her, but she'd decided to give it one more try. Thankfully, the elven horse she'd kept with her seemed to know where to go and how to get there. After some time of travelling (in which it was hard to tell how much time had passed) she'd reached the trees of Lorien. She knew these trees, these winds, this land.
For the first time ever, she felt as though she'd come home. It was a feeling she hadn't had in a long time. Smiling, she urged her horse into a trot, wanting to see the castle again.*

Post by Haldir of Lorien on Aug 15, 2008 12:35:48 GMT -5
*Haldir had been back on work for a while, after his disappearance. After having to clean up a lot of mess, and sort out all the problems he was once more the Highest Commander of the Elven Army. It had been easy for him to get the position back, as the leader the soldiers had chosen in his absence was completely useless. Haldir grinned when he remembered how the man had bursted out crying at the sight of him, begging him to take his command back. And Haldir had accepted. The army was back in training, and he made them train harder than ever, feeling the upcoming war in the country like he did.
So it was a battle-hardened Warlord in full uniform, ready for battle at any moment, that stood outside the castle, shouting commands to his men, his Captain's voice on full. He didn't see the horse coming trotting, or the beautiful lady on it.*

*Even though she was seeing him from the back, and he was dressed in full armor, she'd recognize that head of blonde hair anywhere. She halted the horse, a short distance away*
"How goes it, Captain?" She asked.
It was good to see him again, though she wondered how he'd respond, considering that when they'd last spoken it had been an argument.

*That.... voice. He would recognize it anywhere. He felt his heart melt with a warmth, like the first sun after a long and cold winter. He closed his eyes by the soft sound of her voice, hoping this moment was not just another one of his dreams.
He quickly dismissed his men, who was only glad to take a break. Didn't want to have any witnesses for this meeting. He was not certain about how she felt for him. He had hated to see her frustrated, since he only wanted to see her happy. In his heart he knew that he loved her. But her leaving Lorien had been hard for him.
He took a deep breath and turned around, trying to not frighten her away by being too eager. With a smile he gave her a deep bow.*
"Welcome to Lorien, Milady. It has been a while since the last time we met. How are you?"

"I've been all right. Settling back into the routine of Paris...but I had to come back. I was missing this place."
Among other things.

*Haldir smiled warmly as he looked into her eyes. The beautiful eyes that had been looking up at him in every dream he had about her since she left.... It felt good to have her back.
Still, he remembered how frustrated she had been when he told her of his feelings the last time. And Haldir was not a man to do the same mistake twice. He only wanted to see her happy.*
"Lorien... has missed you too."
And I most off all....

*Her expression turned a bit sad*
"I've heard...things have gotten worse. That there's more than just trouble, that war looms even closer than ever..."
*She heaved a sigh*
"I ran from such a land, once. But I think...this time, I will rejoin it."
*She met Haldir's eye*
"I want to help."

*Haldir extended his hand, to help her dismount the horse, should she want to get down from her high horse the horseback.*
"Anastasia.... I can't drag you into this."
I can't stand the thought of losing you again....
