*Sen stopped in his tracks. Ah well, that ploy didn't last long.*
What do you mean, that is just a cover?

Deawen tugged at Sen's arm "you said to go in i trust you but i do not want to waste words the only thing he seems interested in is ruining others lives..." Deawen said quitely

Indeed, my lady. Go inside, and give this to the first elf you see.
*He handed her a small ruby encrusted pin, in the shape of a bird spreading its wings.*
If Melachor tries to follow, I will stop him. Now go, my lady. You will be safe.

<--- Deawen 's expression

Deawen nodded then hurried inside she looked about there was no one she took a few steps forward and she spotted an elf she hurried to the elf she didn't know what to say the last time she was with an elf i was Artinwe the one person she had known all her life. ( i would write this in elven but i have no time to look it up)
"Friend please take this to the lord of the House." she handed the elf the pin he looked at then as if he had understood it's importance he rushed off. Deawen sat down at the steps.

Melachor hmped.

"You know I could burn Rivendell to the ground, but I do not desire the elves as my enemies at my very first meeting with them since I am around here.... but anyway.. might I ask what that pin is for... oh well you won`t probably tell me.."

Melachor laughed slightly.

"I have a new question for you... how does my games destroy people`s lives? If a man who is walking in the woods faces a warq and kills it, it is his first time he even faces a warq. Does he gain or lose? I say gain, he learns and knows better next time how to act, is that such a bad thing?"

No; yet what if he is killed by the warg, or has his mind scarred forever? Those are the two aspects of your tests that would destroy.

Melachor smiled cunningly.

"Ah, but as I have told you no one dies in my tests and even the wounded can be healed, in the end your scars make who you are and a stronger person..."

There are a few who came close; and a few of the after effects of your tests still roam free, and they do not share your sentiments.

Melachor shrugged.

"What can you do when they are fools who just don`t realise their own good... but the question is now... how can you be tested? well... interestingly enough you seem to care for Deawen so I might just as well kill her eh?"

You can try, but I think that would be a very bad idea. As if you do, our fragile unspoken peace will end. Yet you can try to test me; I do not fear what you have to throw against me.

Melachor looked ponderous and smiled at the end as he clapped his hands together as a sign of aproval.

"Very well then, but please do not hold any regrets..."

Melachor opened a portal and almost walked trough.

"Please follow..."

Melachor walked trough the portal to a large arena made entirely out of black marble and looked around, he snapped his fingers awaking some the surroundings that were all shadowy. Many yellow eyes and red eyes awakened in the shadows, soon they surrounded the arena and Melachor turned around at Sen who was following him.

"Welcome to the plane where my usual servants live, it is a shadow plane and I come here from time to time.. so here the tests begin..."

Melachor walked up a stairway rising into a comfortable looking chair.

"So shall we start with the obvious?"

Dozens of shadow creatures, which Sen had fought before appeared into the round middle of the arena that had a sand floor.

*Sen stood in the middle of the arena, and as the shadows appeared, he began to laugh.*
This is your test? Having me fight a bunch of your shadows?

Melachor hmped.

"Bah... I want you to get warmed up you fool... there are far more powerful creatures here than these simplest of shadow beasts..."
