Rain drops fall upon the lake, causing a chain reaction of rings to cover the water. The sun tries to peek through the darkening gray clouds. The wind howls causing severl golden leaves to glide across the tall green grass.
Birds chirped wildly, making there way for the shelter of ceader trees. A baby fox and his moma duck into the shelter of a dry cave. Worms crawl out of the earth, and misketo's fly around looking for food.
Water bugs dance upon the lake with the rain drops as the wind continues to howl, making beautiful music with an owl in an old oak tree.
Allindar looks out a window in her hut. The rain shows a watery reflection of the girl. Her head rests upon the sill.
Also in this reflection you can see orange and red flames jumping.
A flash of lightning glowed upon her pale face and graysh-blue eyes. She stood and walked to the wooden chestnut door. She pushed the wooden lock across.

A little girl stood outside. Her brown curls were damp from the wet, but her eyes were full of concentration. Rowen said that if she could pull something off, she would train her. She had to try.
She tried not to show she was cold - that lady she wanted to train her wouldn't have approved. She wanted to please her - she really did - but much of the time, Rowen was beyond pleasing. All the child did was tap on her shoulder, and ended up being chased across half the wood.
"Hello," she called into the hut, her voice showing exactly how uncomfortable she was. "Is anyone in there?"
Allindar
06-16-2004, 02:47 PM
Allindar twalked to the window and saw the little girl calling at he door. She hurried to the door and pushed the big lock aside and opened the door. She motioned the girl to come in. "Sit by the fire. What were oyu doing out there. You are soaked."
She ran to her bed and yanked the sheet off of her bed and wrapped it around the girl. "Are you hungry?"
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 02:52 PM
The girl looked around the room she was in with interest - she wondered if Rowen would mind if she snagged something small - she was only a kid, after all. Besides, she never specified what kind of thing she wanted.
"Sure," she said to the woman who helped her. In all honestly, she was hungry, but she was more interested in pleasing Rowen than she was in eating something.

Sorry about this to the both of you. Both Rowenna and Allindar.
This rp just seems more interesting than the others.
Just wondering if I could get some questions answered if you will allow me yo continue in the rp.
Who is Rowen?
I know Allindar is in the hut. Now does the little girl just not have a name yet, or what?
sorry again!!
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 08:42 PM
Hxlgg - I just pm'ed you. I suggest we carry all of the out of character conversation outside this place - as in, say, the talk about anything board, or private messaging.
Allindar
06-16-2004, 08:58 PM
((Are things worked out now?))
Allnidar walked over to the girl and gave her some bread and water. "What were you doing out there young one?" SHe asked worried.
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 09:05 PM
((depends on him - I just sent him another pm))
"I was lost," she told the woman, taking the food she was given. It was a lie, more or less.
"My home was attacked by Uruk-heis," she told her. That was true enough. That is why she went to Rowen.

Unknown to the little girl, a young boy had been following her for quite a while. At the young age of 14, Bryon had the suspicion that this little girl knew of the renowned thief Rowen. That is Bryon's quest. to meet up with Rowen.
Bryon was currently up in a tree watching everything that the little girl did. Who was she? What was her name? Bryon wondered. Bryon's shoulder-length black hair was soaking from the rain and his black, hooded druid cape hung loosely around his neck, heavy with water.
Getting bored, he climbed down the tree and he then crept up to the door of the old house and could hear a distanct conversation inside. There was some commotion though. Bryon could not figure out what it was yet. Was someone coming?
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 09:28 PM
((Byron )
The girl took a bite of the food she was given, rather glad to be out of the rain - but she had a mission to accomplish. If Rowen wanted theft, she was going to get it.
"What is your name," she asked the woman who had taken her from the rain. Her brown eyes scanned for valuables.
Allindar
06-16-2004, 09:31 PM
"Allindar. and yours?" SHe said. She walked back to her chair byt he window and leaned her head on it. She kept her eyes on the little girl.
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 09:35 PM
"Summit," she said. Allindar, was it?
"If I may ask," she spoke, "How come you live alone?"
She brushed aside some loose bits of hair, looking down a bit. She didn't have a chance, she realized, of proving to Rowen she could be a thief if she wanted to. But she would still try.
Allindar
06-16-2004, 09:37 PM
"Well, I am not very popular with the men, and I travel alot. But I've been alone here for awhile."
((Got to go))
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 09:39 PM
"Oh," she said, looking to the door, briefly, then looking back at Allindar. Someone was there - she could tell. But she said nothing about it.
Hxlgg
06-16-2004, 09:52 PM
Bryon was still sitting there at the door. He was getting cold amd his butt was getting wetter by the second.
To his side, Bryon noticed a stool right below the window.
"I will sit on that" Bryon said aloud as if someone cared.
So Bryon went over and sat on the stool. From this spot he could listen and spy.
Rowenna
06-16-2004, 09:55 PM
((y before r))
Summit looked, again, to the window. She heard noises. She walked over to the window, and looked outside. If she were to look down, there would certainly be something to see - but she looked ahead, and saw nothing.
"When do you think it will stop," she asked Allindar, regarding the rain.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 04:48 AM
Bryon sat below the window, almost frightened. He had seen the shadow of the little girl above the window. Had she heard him? Were her senses really that keen?
Bryon did not yet have the answers to these questions, so he continued to listen, but decided it was better not to spy right now.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 10:43 AM
"Soon enough. someone is out there, I can hear them." She tucked her hair behind her pointy ears. She stood up and walked to the door. Before touching it she turned to Summit. "Should I let him in?" She said, asking for her thoughts first.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 10:49 AM
(the name's Byron, not Bryon)
"If you like," she said to Allindar, running her tiny fingers through her hair. With another person, however, she felt as though the odds of pulling something off had dropped - seeing as there were more people to see her, not just one who could turn her back.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 10:58 AM
Allindar opened the door and stood in the rain. "Well come in if you like, beats getting soaked out here." She stepped inside and waited for him. She turned to Summit. "You can have that silver candle holder. Say you stole it." Allindar was not that daft, living on her own caused her to think more.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 11:07 AM
((sorry about that Rowenna))
Byron looked up at the elf standing in the doorway. She seemed nice enough. Why not go in? Byron thought to himself. It would get me a better chance of know the girl, Summit and the elf that seems to see all.
Byron stood up and walked inside, seeing that Summit was holding a silver candleholder, Byron assumed that this elf was something more powerful than both Summit and himself estimated.
Byron took a seat directly across from Summit and store right into her eyes, probing her for answers.
Allindar then closed the door and walked over to the two adolesents.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 11:11 AM
"And your name young lad? You probab;y heard from that uncomfortable stoo out there who I am." Most would think Allindar some strange elf who new all, but Allindar was quite oppisit. She needed much training to be as wise as the elves of old.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 11:16 AM
"My name is Byron, and I don't see how it is any of your business, lady! I am not here for you. I am here for her." Byron hissed as he pointed at Summit.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 11:20 AM
"Well, you would do well to respect those older then you! And this is in my house. I will let it slide, but once." She said angerly. She turned back to the door and builted it shut. She went back to her chair by the window and sat down. She turned her head towards the window and again began to stare. She feared for somthing.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 11:36 AM
"What do you want me for," Summit asked the pale-skinned boy with a mix of fear and confusion. She was just about to leave - to tell Rowen what a good thief she was - but the boy was an obstacle.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 12:03 PM
"I need to talk to you...in private." Byron whispered. "I can help you in your quest. I know what you are doing and trust me, you need help"
Byron waited as Summit pondered this new information.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 12:05 PM
((have to go now))
You can talk in my room." She said staring out the window again.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 12:23 PM
Summit nodded, unsure.
"Okay."
The boy looked quite a bit older than her - what could he possibly want?
She went to Allindar's room, to hear what he had to say.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 01:25 PM
Unsure of how to actually do this, Byron lead Summit into Allindar's room.
"We cannot talk in secret here as you have most likely already found out. This Allindar seems to know, see and hear all. So I will be as vague as possible. There are troubles that are lain before you and I know you have not the experience needed for these tasks. I have been following you for days now. You will need and welcome I disagreeistance. I do not tell this to many people, but I have done this before, years ago. Now we must hurry and leave. That candlestick will do fine for Rowen. Let's get going."
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 01:29 PM
How did he know about Rowen? Well, most knew she existed, but how did he know she was connected to her? She wanted to ask these questions, but the words didn't come out.
"Are you sure," she asked Byron.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 01:32 PM
"Yes. Now come we must be off." Byron said. "Lead the way."
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 04:18 PM
Summit turned her back on Byron, and went to the same room, where Allindar was.
"I hope you don't mind if we leave."
It was still raining outside. It would seem strange, true, but Rowen was waiting, she was sure.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 07:21 PM
Byron and Summit walked outside into the rain and left Allindar in her house.
"So where do you think you are going first?" Byron asked in a 'I-just-want-to-see-if-you-know' tone.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 08:44 PM
"The wood," Summit said suspiciously. "How do you know about Rowen?"
She walked ahead, in the direction Rowen was, deep inside.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 08:47 PM
"I am a past student of hers." Byron lied "She is a tough teacher and I know she has laid traps for you. She always does."
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 08:56 PM
Summit turned to him.
"Really? I didn't know she taught anyone else. What kind of traps does she have?"
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 09:09 PM
"Mostly creatures you have to kill. If I remember correctly, there is a puzzle you must solve. Do you have a weapon with you?" Byron asked.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 09:16 PM
"Um, no," she said, turning to him, with a desperate look in her eyes. "I just have this candlestick holder - but that's no weapon."
She was only 10 years old. Weaponry was far beyond her.
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 05:13 AM
"Okay, so you have no real skills at all, you don't have a weapon so you will most likely get killed, and you have a candlestick holder." Byron laughed sarcastically
'This girl is completely useless' Byron thought to himself, 'At least she has one good quality, she knows her way to Rowen.'
They continued walking into the woods.
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 10:42 AM
Summit said nothing in reply. The trees provided some relief from the rain, but the ground was still muddy.
"A clearing is coming up," she said, breaking the silence. "Rowen should be there."
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 12:19 PM
The two kept on walking through the wood to the clearing.
'Excellent,' Byron thought. 'My chance has now come. Now I shall see this Rowen for what she really is.'
As they were walking, a fear gripped Byron. Something was not right. Byron sensed this was not where Rowen was, something else was waiting there for them. Something bad.
"You go right ahead, Summit. I will wait out here for you."
Byron sat down by a tree.
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 12:27 PM
Summit nodded to Byron, and went off, alone, but would not find Rowen - nor would she find either Byron or Rowen again. Above Byron, in the trees was a figure, cloaked by darkness, her silver eyes gleaming through the night. She leapt down, landing like a cat, and grabbed the boy, one arm stiff around his chest and arms, the other was by his neck, with a dagger, threatening to slice his artery.
"Who are you, and who sent you," rolled the smooth tongue of a woman. This was Rowen.
((Rowen's not going to let Byron be her apprentice without some winning over Summit didn't accomplish - I figured he could win her over with his hannibal lector-ness, but you can do what you want ))
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 12:35 PM
"My name is Byron. And I will be your apprentice Lady Rowen." Byron snarled without any hint of fear in his voice. "I have traveled far to find you and will be your student. What must I do. Anything. Anything you want, I will do. Just ask."
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 12:40 PM
Rowen pushed the child away, and sheathed her nameless dagger.
"What is this, a fan club? I want no apprentice."
The boy - young as he was - had a dangerous look about him. But, nevertheless, she didn't want him. Not until she surpassed her master - he lived and died, with no one ever knowing who he was, because anyone who was blessed with that knowledge died soon after discovery. For her, there were many. It was far beyond rectification, but there was still hope that she could advance - she had stolen from at least one of all races, and killed from most. It wasn't good enough. But what was? She didn't know.
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 12:49 PM
"Please Lady Rowen. You must accept me. I have learned much about you. I know you are the greatest teacher around. I know of your troubled past. I know of your teacher. Please. It will not be the same as with him."
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 12:55 PM
"You know nothing," she growled at him. How dare he speak of Delacroix. He had no right.
"Do you really think you can deal living the life of a thief? I doubt it."
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 01:05 PM
"I have dealt with the life of a thief since I was four!" Byron almost yelled. "My parents abandonded me and my sister thinking us for dead. I pulled throug. My sister was not as luky as me. I stolen my way through life. And you think I cannot handle it! You should dare not accuse someone of something you do not even know about!"
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 01:10 PM
Perhaps they were not so different after all. Rowen's family, in all likelihood, was dead - but she stole for the money, not for the idea that if she didn't, she would run dry. She narrowed her eyes on the boy. She drew her sword - the Xakaryas, a sword with the image of a red phoenix painted over it. She held it at his neck.
"Are you armed, boy," she inquired suspiciously.
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 01:15 PM
"As you should well know, a good thief is always armed no matter how small." Byron answered, unsheathing a small but dangerous sword. "I call it Luminatus. Every thief within the realms of Rohan fears it."
Byron slowly raised his arm and lowered Rowen's blade. "Now will you give me chance or not?" he asked.
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 01:25 PM
"I highly doubt that, for a boy of your age. But I will tell you what. You can tag along, and maybe I will teach you a thing or two - but I will not be known as Lady anything. Rowen will do. Is that understood?"
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 01:30 PM
"Yes Rowen, now what of the girl?"
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 01:34 PM
"What of the girl," she smiled grimly. "The child is not my concern. I have chased her away many times already. If you somehow dislike the idea of abandoning her, then perhaps you should not follow me."
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 02:06 PM
"You are mistaken one more time Rowen. You presume too much. My intention is not to take her with us, but to, shall we say, leave her for no one else to find so she eventually is not of this earth. She has served her purpose and I am done with her. If you would just like to leave her in that clearing, it is fine with me." Byron said as he sheathed his sword. "She is purely up to you"
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 02:12 PM
"The chances that she will ever make it out of the wood are remote at best. Therefore, I can only conclude it logical to leave her here. I, for one, have lingered in this place for far too long. I intend to travel elsewhere - and it would be safe to assume that you intend to tag along. Is your decision final?"
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 02:15 PM
"Yes it is." Byron told Rowen matter-of-factly. "I hope I can be of great assistance to you in your travels and that I can be an even better stu...I mean tag-a-long."
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 02:40 PM
Tag-a-long is right, she thought to herself privately, sheathing the Xakaryas.
"Fine. Lesson number one. When someone has you at the throat with a weapon, fend them off with a sword, not a hand."
She began to walk along side him, deeper into the wood.
"And two. Traveling on road is a bad idea."
Allindar
06-18-2004, 02:44 PM
((Ok not sure what's going on here explain please I only have twenty minutes ont he pc so.....sorry))
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 02:51 PM
((byron took summit out to the woods to find Rowen, and when he knew where Rowen was, he ditched Summit, and now Byron is Rowen's apprentice... to sum it all up, yeah))
Allindar
06-18-2004, 03:02 PM
((OK....this will be crapy and short sorry but I have to go.))
Allindar walked around the beautiful forest looking up at the autumn leaves. SHe looked curiously around. "I wonder where summit went? I have not heard from the girl in awhile....."
((Bad I know but parents are spazing out at me...sorry once again.))
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 03:54 PM
The little girl, Summit, was deep in the woods, looking for Rowen - she wasn't where she last left her, and despite how she searched, she couldn't find the one she wished to be her teacher. She continued to look, unsure of what to do next.
Allindar
06-22-2004, 10:00 PM
((I'm leaving for the summer buy! ))

Allindar opened the door and stood in the rain. "Well come in if you like, beats getting soaked out here." She stepped inside and waited for him. She turned to Summit. "You can have that silver candle holder. Say you stole it." Allindar was not that daft, living on her own caused her to think more.

((sorry about that Rowenna))
Byron looked up at the elf standing in the doorway. She seemed nice enough. Why not go in? Byron thought to himself. It would get me a better chance of know the girl, Summit and the elf that seems to see all.
Byron stood up and walked inside, seeing that Summit was holding a silver candleholder, Byron assumed that this elf was something more powerful than both Summit and himself estimated.
Byron took a seat directly across from Summit and store right into her eyes, probing her for answers.
Allindar then closed the door and walked over to the two adolesents.

"And your name young lad? You probab;y heard from that uncomfortable stoo out there who I am." Most would think Allindar some strange elf who new all, but Allindar was quite oppisit. She needed much training to be as wise as the elves of old.

"My name is Byron, and I don't see how it is any of your business, lady! I am not here for you. I am here for her." Byron hissed as he pointed at Summit.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 11:20 AM
"Well, you would do well to respect those older then you! And this is in my house. I will let it slide, but once." She said angerly. She turned back to the door and builted it shut. She went back to her chair by the window and sat down. She turned her head towards the window and again began to stare. She feared for somthing.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 11:36 AM
"What do you want me for," Summit asked the pale-skinned boy with a mix of fear and confusion. She was just about to leave - to tell Rowen what a good thief she was - but the boy was an obstacle.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 12:03 PM
"I need to talk to you...in private." Byron whispered. "I can help you in your quest. I know what you are doing and trust me, you need help"
Byron waited as Summit pondered this new information.
Allindar
06-17-2004, 12:05 PM
((have to go now))
You can talk in my room." She said staring out the window again.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 12:23 PM
Summit nodded, unsure.
"Okay."
The boy looked quite a bit older than her - what could he possibly want?
She went to Allindar's room, to hear what he had to say.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 01:25 PM
Unsure of how to actually do this, Byron lead Summit into Allindar's room.
"We cannot talk in secret here as you have most likely already found out. This Allindar seems to know, see and hear all. So I will be as vague as possible. There are troubles that are lain before you and I know you have not the experience needed for these tasks. I have been following you for days now. You will need and welcome I disagreeistance. I do not tell this to many people, but I have done this before, years ago. Now we must hurry and leave. That candlestick will do fine for Rowen. Let's get going."
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 01:29 PM
How did he know about Rowen? Well, most knew she existed, but how did he know she was connected to her? She wanted to ask these questions, but the words didn't come out.
"Are you sure," she asked Byron.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 01:32 PM
"Yes. Now come we must be off." Byron said. "Lead the way."
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 04:18 PM
Summit turned her back on Byron, and went to the same room, where Allindar was.
"I hope you don't mind if we leave."
It was still raining outside. It would seem strange, true, but Rowen was waiting, she was sure.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 07:21 PM
Byron and Summit walked outside into the rain and left Allindar in her house.
"So where do you think you are going first?" Byron asked in a 'I-just-want-to-see-if-you-know' tone.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 08:44 PM
"The wood," Summit said suspiciously. "How do you know about Rowen?"
She walked ahead, in the direction Rowen was, deep inside.
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 08:47 PM
"I am a past student of hers." Byron lied "She is a tough teacher and I know she has laid traps for you. She always does."
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 08:56 PM
Summit turned to him.
"Really? I didn't know she taught anyone else. What kind of traps does she have?"
Hxlgg
06-17-2004, 09:09 PM
"Mostly creatures you have to kill. If I remember correctly, there is a puzzle you must solve. Do you have a weapon with you?" Byron asked.
Rowenna
06-17-2004, 09:16 PM
"Um, no," she said, turning to him, with a desperate look in her eyes. "I just have this candlestick holder - but that's no weapon."
She was only 10 years old. Weaponry was far beyond her.
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 05:13 AM
"Okay, so you have no real skills at all, you don't have a weapon so you will most likely get killed, and you have a candlestick holder." Byron laughed sarcastically
'This girl is completely useless' Byron thought to himself, 'At least she has one good quality, she knows her way to Rowen.'
They continued walking into the woods.
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 10:42 AM
Summit said nothing in reply. The trees provided some relief from the rain, but the ground was still muddy.
"A clearing is coming up," she said, breaking the silence. "Rowen should be there."
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 12:19 PM
The two kept on walking through the wood to the clearing.
'Excellent,' Byron thought. 'My chance has now come. Now I shall see this Rowen for what she really is.'
As they were walking, a fear gripped Byron. Something was not right. Byron sensed this was not where Rowen was, something else was waiting there for them. Something bad.
"You go right ahead, Summit. I will wait out here for you."
Byron sat down by a tree.
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 12:27 PM
Summit nodded to Byron, and went off, alone, but would not find Rowen - nor would she find either Byron or Rowen again. Above Byron, in the trees was a figure, cloaked by darkness, her silver eyes gleaming through the night. She leapt down, landing like a cat, and grabbed the boy, one arm stiff around his chest and arms, the other was by his neck, with a dagger, threatening to slice his artery.
"Who are you, and who sent you," rolled the smooth tongue of a woman. This was Rowen.
((Rowen's not going to let Byron be her apprentice without some winning over Summit didn't accomplish - I figured he could win her over with his hannibal lector-ness, but you can do what you want ))
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 12:35 PM
"My name is Byron. And I will be your apprentice Lady Rowen." Byron snarled without any hint of fear in his voice. "I have traveled far to find you and will be your student. What must I do. Anything. Anything you want, I will do. Just ask."
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 12:40 PM
Rowen pushed the child away, and sheathed her nameless dagger.
"What is this, a fan club? I want no apprentice."
The boy - young as he was - had a dangerous look about him. But, nevertheless, she didn't want him. Not until she surpassed her master - he lived and died, with no one ever knowing who he was, because anyone who was blessed with that knowledge died soon after discovery. For her, there were many. It was far beyond rectification, but there was still hope that she could advance - she had stolen from at least one of all races, and killed from most. It wasn't good enough. But what was? She didn't know.
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 12:49 PM
"Please Lady Rowen. You must accept me. I have learned much about you. I know you are the greatest teacher around. I know of your troubled past. I know of your teacher. Please. It will not be the same as with him."
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 12:55 PM
"You know nothing," she growled at him. How dare he speak of Delacroix. He had no right.
"Do you really think you can deal living the life of a thief? I doubt it."
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 01:05 PM
"I have dealt with the life of a thief since I was four!" Byron almost yelled. "My parents abandonded me and my sister thinking us for dead. I pulled throug. My sister was not as luky as me. I stolen my way through life. And you think I cannot handle it! You should dare not accuse someone of something you do not even know about!"
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 01:10 PM
Perhaps they were not so different after all. Rowen's family, in all likelihood, was dead - but she stole for the money, not for the idea that if she didn't, she would run dry. She narrowed her eyes on the boy. She drew her sword - the Xakaryas, a sword with the image of a red phoenix painted over it. She held it at his neck.
"Are you armed, boy," she inquired suspiciously.
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 01:15 PM
"As you should well know, a good thief is always armed no matter how small." Byron answered, unsheathing a small but dangerous sword. "I call it Luminatus. Every thief within the realms of Rohan fears it."
Byron slowly raised his arm and lowered Rowen's blade. "Now will you give me chance or not?" he asked.
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 01:25 PM
"I highly doubt that, for a boy of your age. But I will tell you what. You can tag along, and maybe I will teach you a thing or two - but I will not be known as Lady anything. Rowen will do. Is that understood?"
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 01:30 PM
"Yes Rowen, now what of the girl?"
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 01:34 PM
"What of the girl," she smiled grimly. "The child is not my concern. I have chased her away many times already. If you somehow dislike the idea of abandoning her, then perhaps you should not follow me."
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 02:06 PM
"You are mistaken one more time Rowen. You presume too much. My intention is not to take her with us, but to, shall we say, leave her for no one else to find so she eventually is not of this earth. She has served her purpose and I am done with her. If you would just like to leave her in that clearing, it is fine with me." Byron said as he sheathed his sword. "She is purely up to you"
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 02:12 PM
"The chances that she will ever make it out of the wood are remote at best. Therefore, I can only conclude it logical to leave her here. I, for one, have lingered in this place for far too long. I intend to travel elsewhere - and it would be safe to assume that you intend to tag along. Is your decision final?"
Hxlgg
06-18-2004, 02:15 PM
"Yes it is." Byron told Rowen matter-of-factly. "I hope I can be of great assistance to you in your travels and that I can be an even better stu...I mean tag-a-long."
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 02:40 PM
Tag-a-long is right, she thought to herself privately, sheathing the Xakaryas.
"Fine. Lesson number one. When someone has you at the throat with a weapon, fend them off with a sword, not a hand."
She began to walk along side him, deeper into the wood.
"And two. Traveling on road is a bad idea."
Allindar
06-18-2004, 02:44 PM
((Ok not sure what's going on here explain please I only have twenty minutes ont he pc so.....sorry))
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 02:51 PM
((byron took summit out to the woods to find Rowen, and when he knew where Rowen was, he ditched Summit, and now Byron is Rowen's apprentice... to sum it all up, yeah))
Allindar
06-18-2004, 03:02 PM
((OK....this will be crapy and short sorry but I have to go.))
Allindar walked around the beautiful forest looking up at the autumn leaves. SHe looked curiously around. "I wonder where summit went? I have not heard from the girl in awhile....."
((Bad I know but parents are spazing out at me...sorry once again.))
Rowenna
06-18-2004, 03:54 PM
The little girl, Summit, was deep in the woods, looking for Rowen - she wasn't where she last left her, and despite how she searched, she couldn't find the one she wished to be her teacher. She continued to look, unsure of what to do next.
Allindar
06-22-2004, 10:00 PM
