Adastrea turned to see her friend behind her, she smiled and then shook her head. "I am not quite sure, there is a man who just showed up with six arrows in him. He knows about the scouts." She hesitated and smiled slightly, "Think you can help me think up a good excuse if my father finds out what I am about to do? Not to mention if the scouts do..."

She stepped out from behind the bushes and faced the man, "My lord? What has happened to you?"

Alastegiel looked on the man with pity, he was hurt and yet her kindred looked on him as an enemy. She ignored Orophin and Aerik's arrows, then turning to her friend said "We must help him!" then smiling mischeviously added "and I won't tell your father, my uncle, about this." then she glided over to the man, she knelt beside him and said "Fear not, we are here to help you." she examined his wounds and said "You need help. Help beyond my powers." Then turning to Aerik and Orophin she pleaded with them saying "Will you not help us?"[/i]

"i will" Ainas voice seemed small she glanced at Aerik and Orophin "will you help?"

The three elven maidens looked up at the two guards for help, Alastegiel looked a Orophin with reproof, she had thought that he would help an unfortunate such as this, she was deeply dissapointed in his actions.

*Sen, to their alarm, stood up, small flames dancing around him.*
My ladies, I am fine; there is no need to be concerned; my wounds will heal soon enough, sooner than you may think.
*The flames died away, and Sen stood up straighter...*

Now a look of alarm flashed through Alastegiel's eyes, but vanished as her compassion and will to think good of all returned. "What do you mean by this Sir? How is this possible?" Alastegiel was genuinely curious for in secret she loved to dabble with fire.... "Come" she said after hearing Aina's suggestion "We will see you to Caras Galadon." she stood and waited for the others to reply...

Aina lead the way though she preferred to be behind every one but she had to take leadership.

Alastegiel sensed Aina's thoughts, a gift she had inherited, and moved from Adastrea's side to walk beside Aina, then she silently whispered in a voice heard only in Aina's head "Your wish may be fullfilled, but only if you will it so."

I would rather not say how it is possible, my lady; at least until Gandalf bids me to. Yet I will follow you; I bear a message and a warning that must be heard...

Adastrea watched them walk away silently. She had a hard time when she met people who used magic, why she wasn't sure, but it frightened her a little. She sighed slightly and leaned against a tree.

Turning to the Man Alastegiel smiled and said "I understand Sir. Then you are known to Mithrandir?" then she added thoughtful "Please do not think me presumtiuos (sp??) but might we know your name, or at least something to call you by?"
Then Alastegiel realised that Adastrea was not with them she turned and looked frantically but could find no trace of her, she worried only a bit, Adastrea knew her way around the wood and was by no means unprotected in this guarded land. Alastegiel moved on with her thoughts on this strange man who had wandered into the woods.

"no I must take care of this...."Aina whispered back she didn't know exactly what to do but she would have to try..

An old man walked trough the forest, he was dressed in a black & brown robe and his staff went before his feet. What most strange he had entered Lothorien without being, noticed. Impossible for a man, but not to an immortal being such as Melachor. He walked on with a smile on his face and looked around admiring the surroundings.

"Just like I thought it would be... just like in the books..."

Melachor had gotten tired of reading his books and had actually decided to visit the places rather than read about them, but he had a strange feeling of many presences there. Melachor walked on with a smile without caring about the elves that he would soon pass.

Aerik and Orophin glanced to one another in disbelief as the ladies swarmed around the man, and invited him to Caras Galadhon! Quickly they returned their arrows to the quiver and took off after them.

"Go get your brothers.." Aerik said, grabbing Orophins shoulder. He nodded and soon was gone from their company.

Aerik continued on his trek after the others, catching up to them he began to talk "why is it that you trust men so freely?" He looked to the blad dressed stranger.."I mean no disrespect, but times are evil and lies abound. Surely a man can say he knows Mithrandir and not." Aeriks eyes fluttered from each of the ladies..."if you are intent on taking him to the house of the Lady of Light..I bid you to bind his eyes." He looked around once more hoping to see Orophins return...or atleast see Aina...
Where are they! he thought silently to himself.
