Chapter 48
A brief respite
Saraphin: You are all so busy fighting. *sighs*
Maglor the Singer: Grimbergen! Thank the gods!
Saraphin: I suppose you will all die if I stay here with the kids, *sighs*
Maglor the Singer: Now, I am ready to go!
T.A. Grimbergen: I had trouble sleeping...I miss Kyil
Maglor the Singer: Now that my right arm is here! *looks sad. Nay, do not speak of my cousin
Kalena Heavyhand: Worry not lady with big heart, those children are my grandchildren and they will be safe
T.A. Grimbergen: Indeed, Sara...your prayers have saved us more than enough to prove its worth
Maglor the Singer: The wound is still too fresh
Saraphin: I just do not want to leave them
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye...
Saraphin: They... *looks very distant*
Maglor the Singer: You do not wish to leave them?
Saraphin: can we stay another day at least or two
Maglor the Singer: Do you think I am eager to do so?
Saraphin: please
Maglor the Singer: Destiny is a cruel mistress
Saraphin: do we have to run off so fast
Maglor the Singer: *looks at Grimbergen. Does the necklace plague thee, brother?
Saraphin: Please, I cannot bear to leave the children so soon. just a few days of rest
T.A. Grimbergen: It does not tug with the intensity as before
Maglor the Singer: I will agree to stay for one day more. If we are all agreed
Saraphin: *looks imploringly at Maglor* Thank you
T.A. Grimbergen: Though, I know it is only a matter of time before it pulls like the previous time
Maglor the Singer: Canst thou wait but a day, brother?
Saraphin: *claps hands together hurting herself on the needle* Ouch! Mam? *looks at Maglor's mother*
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye...both you and Sara need more time with the kids.
Saraphin: *beams at Maglor*
Maglor the Singer: I have heard rumor that Philip and Lytha are nearby. I hope they will find their way here
T.A. Grimbergen: Oh?
Maglor the Singer: Might I beg of thee, brother? Seek them out.
T.A. Grimbergen: That is good...then it would be well that we let them rest a day as well. Indeed.
Saraphin: Phillip must have chased her out of the cave. *giggles*
Dodger : you threatend the bard maglor
T.A. Grimbergen: Sir Phillip!
Philip Cruz'ado: LOL! Threaten the bard? How?
T.A. Grimbergen: Is there a problem here?
Dodger : you said you would remove him
Philip Cruz'ado: Seems those ahead are annoyed with those that accompany Maglor. Of course. Most prefer him far away.
Lytha: {comes up, dripping wet and covered with mud}
T.A. Grimbergen: Hmmm...that seems strange
Dodger : he is a friend and under our protection
Lytha: TA!! {giggles shyly}
T.A. Grimbergen: Guards! Have no quarrel with these 2 visitors -- they are trusted companions of Maglors! Hail, fair Lytha
Philip Cruz'ado: *shakes his head* Usually those with him are only greeted so when he's spoken rashly.
Lytha: [smiles shyly, hiding her face}
Dodger : well sheath your wepon and enter friend
Lytha: eep
Crystal Cove Archer : Are these two with thee?
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye...I heard their approach and came to make sure there would be no trouble
Philip Cruz'ado: I wonder if it would not be better to stay here, if this is a normal greeting.
T.A. Grimbergen: No no, Phillip -- join us in the warm company of friends
Crystal Cove Archer : well there wouldn't be if he would lower his weapon
T.A. Grimbergen: Please, lower sheathe your blade, Sir Phillip
Lytha: {peeks around him}
Philip Cruz'ado: I react poorly to threats, sir. It is usually unhealthy.
T.A. Grimbergen: Indeed, we all do, all to well...
Philip Cruz'ado: But, if you vouch for them, TA, I will abide it.
Crystal Cove Archer : Ye are the one threatening our home, who doest ye think ye are?
T.A. Grimbergen: I appreciate your trust...come...now, let us all go on peacefully
Crystal Cove Archer : I shall return to my post,
Philip Cruz'ado: I was following Maglor, in an unfamiliar cave. We had met ogre and giant. Would you have me walk about unarmed?
T.A. Grimbergen: THank you, guaardsman. "tis true...I also expereinced this warm welcome...so I wanted to spare you the trouble
Philip Cruz'ado: *shakes his head, mumbling* no sense....should have more.....
T.A. Grimbergen: After you, good sir
Philip Cruz'ado: I've seen the type before. They do not think, only follow the letter of the law.
T.A. Grimbergen: Come, this way to the northeast. Indeed...I know the type you speak of.
Philip Cruz'ado: lead on, then.
Crystal Cove Archer : *glares at Philip*
T.A. Grimbergen: Lytha! Shall we fetch the girl?
Philip Cruz'ado: *sigh* We'd best, before she gets in trouble
T.A. Grimbergen: Let's hurry. *panting* Lytha. COme this way, my dear
Lytha: Don't touch me? Please?
Vemc Heavyhand: hulo
T.A. Grimbergen: Aye...i'll keep my distance. Please follow us
Lytha: Hi!

Vemc Heavyhand: Do u know daddy?
Lytha: {turns pale} Daddy? NO!!!!!
T.A. Grimbergen: Whoa
Vemc Heavyhand: ok, guess not
Philip Cruz'ado: [Whisper] this is one of the children?
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] Aye...and i though lytha would be happy to meet them
T.A. Grimbergen: *sigh*
Philip Cruz'ado: [Whisper] I thought they were not so old.
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] So did I...supposedly, magical elven potion agged them. Although I did not catch if they meant the antidote did it to them
Lytha: {chewing on her lip} Where is Amanda?
Philip Cruz'ado: [Whisper] *shakes his head* Such is why I trust magic so little
T.A. Grimbergen: Amanada...Saraphin?
T.A. Grimbergen: [Whisper] Too true...though there is also much good that can be gained from it
Philip Cruz'ado: I do not know, Lytha. TA? Where is the fair cleric?
Lytha: Amanda? Where is she?
T.A. Grimbergen: Come, friends, this way
Lytha: {smiles shyly}
T.A. Grimbergen: THis way. Lytha?
