Bright R'ndomain

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

Setting and other fun information: This is set in the small medieval village of Bright R'ndomain; mostly farming in what land is left between the three mountain ranges. There have been strange rumors of late and those of the Queen's guard who live in the outpost a day's hard ride by horseback away bring unease with them when they come to seek the aid of the half-elven healer who lives here.. There are perhaps a half score of huts here and the village blacksmith had taken up residence a few months ago. There are two roads leading out of the village one into the tallest range of the Breaknecks in the west and the other to the outpost.

This is a place to enjoy and have fun. Please feel free to join in and become your alter-ego for a bit of time..


*Ellendryle awakened abruptly, the image of a scarred face haunting her mind and fear clutching her heart. Even though it had been a day or so since the strangers came seeking aid, the elf-healer hadnae been able to get a full night's sleep. The best thing she could do was get up and find something to keep busy with, she definatly did not want to go back to sleep and see that face again! She picks up the wooden bucket and quietly leaves the hut, noting the glimmer of reddish orange clouds.. that meant more storms soon. Faint tendrils of woodsmoke drifted up from the inn and the blacksmith's house, 'twas certain she'd have visitors later wanting to know the news. *

*Drawing up a full bucket of cold water, the healer spashed a handful on her face as if to banish the nightmare she had been having. *
"Now to find some food for my guests.. at least there should be some left after yestereve.." Ellendryle murmmered half out loud. She placed the bucket just inside the doorway and turned to where the two horses were picketed nearby, not sure if they would let her near them . Ears layed back, they eyed her suspiciously and she decided that it was safer to wait, horse bites were painful and she prefered her blood to remain inside of her body where it belonged! *

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

Jianthre: *Opening the door of his small hut, Jianthre looked across to where the two horses were still picketed near Lady Ellendryle's house and watching as the healer approached them, then she leaned against the wall, just watching..*
~They haven't left yet then.. good horses.. worth more then any of us could afford~ *he thinks, picking up two large buckets and walking towards Ellendryle. Ordinarilly he'd have his oldest boy fill the water buckets but he wanted to make sure the healer was alright, after all she'd saved his wife and youngest babe from dying a scarce month ago*
"Good day, Lady Ellendryle.. up early this morning?" *Jianthre kept his voice down but the horses still tossed their heads and half turned to watch him warily.*

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*Ellendryle turns* "Good day t'ye Jianthre.. how is Thea and the babe? Any problems?" *the clouds change into a deeper gold and red-tinged yellow as the sun rises and the horses return to grazing with one eye on Ellendryle and Jianthre. Ellendryle knows that everyone intently curious about the two strangers who are still asleep in her hut. * "Jianthre, would ye do me a favor? Tell any who come gossiping that the horses are well able to defend themselves and they also are under my care." *her voice was more authoritative then it usually was and she rubbed her eyes* "Long night, m'friend and little sleep that didnae hae bad dreams.."

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

Jianthre: "Aye, I will.." *he looks up at the sky briefly then decides to ask* "Are ye alright? Healing drains you like a days hard labor in the smithy pounding hot iron does me." *he remembered seeing the larger of the two strangers covered in blood but Jianthre had not been able to tell if it was from the smaller of them or not when they had arrived .*

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*Ellendryle chuckled, half guessing why he was asking* "I am tired, but not as bad as I expected to be.. " ~how much can I say.. not much indeed I dinnae understand half of what happened~ *she thought before continuing.*
"They might call on ye, Jianthre.. a small matter of a few supplies.. but I dinnae see them as any threat to us. I have to go and check on them now.. " *she smiles* "thank you, m'friend.. for checking on me."

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

Jianthre: *The blacksmith nods* "If ye need anything..ask, Lady Ellendryle.." *he turns to go, knowing that the healer had to be weary indeed not to protest the title he called her by, for she always insisted that she was just a simple healer.. but he had seen much before he settled here. * ~have to send the boy over with something for midday meal~ *Jianthre thought to himself as he strode towards the well, buckets in hand*

 

[Thunderring]

Suddenly the male elf, who had arrived yesterday, tore out of Ellendryle's hut as, what appered to be a chest plate, went flying by.

 

[Thunderring]

The elf, better known as Raven, smiled widely at Ellendryle while saying, "Well she diffenitly fells better!"

 

[Thunderring]

A few choice words in elvish fallowed this rather bright remark.

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*Ellendryle drops to the ground as the chestplate barely misses her head and she warily rises* "Well, I see ye are both awake, m'lord Raven.. " *hesitates, walking back to the hut* "Is this your lady's normal manner of greeting the morning sun?"

 

[Thunderring]

"My ladies? What? OH! You think that we have romantic intersts in each other!"

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*The elf -healer manages to keep her voice calm although the red embarassment quickly flushes her cheeks* "No! I meant as in .. that is.. " *her voice lowers* "are ye her servant?"
*the horses pull at their picket ropes, letting out soft whickers as Raven's voice carries to them*

 

[Thunderring]

"Servent?" He scoffs. "Not hardly though I have played that role a few times before. No we're friends, partners," he smiles foundly, "heart siblings."

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*Ellendryle nods* "I see.. well, I should check on her and see if 'twould be possible to dodge anything else that is thrown out of my hut.. I thought about bringing the horses water but decided since they didnae ken me it would be easier to wait.. " *she pauses on the threshold* "M'lady? 'tis I Ellendryle, can I come in?"

 

[Thunderring]

The lady, aka Kaiaa, shouts something in a languge that no one knows. No one but Raven.

"Yah a hear you, you old grouch! Just realax will you?" he shouted back.

More words shouted in the starnge languge to which Raven just laughed before going to retrive water for the thirsty horses.

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*Ellendryle pushes open the door, nearly tripping over the bucket of water she had placed there earlier. * "I see ye are awake.. I would like to check your wounds if I may" *she moves closer to the screen seperating the room in two*

 

[Thunderring]

"Stupid male! How dare he! That, that!" She growls low in her throat before throwing something else.

 

[Thunderring]

Suddenly the screen sperating the two parts gets blown back to revile Kaiaa satanding there, eyes glowing red, hand out, and face set in stone. Her fetures soften as she recoginzes Ellendryle before she finally offers her a comferting smile.

"Sorry about the screen. I tend to forget if someone is friend of foe when I'm mad, espically if I have just ment them and spent most of that time not among the awake," she said completly relaxing. "You are well this morning, it is morning?

 

[Ellendryle of Sunrising]

*Dodging a boot that sailed from behind the screen, Ellendryle takes a deep breath and darts around it, facing Kaiaa, the light of her healing gift starting to glow* "Stop it! The last thing ye need is to tear open the wounds and spend a week abed instead of a day or so!" *she moves forward trying to grab on of Kaiaa's arms while avoiding the other which held the other boot*
