"Nay," she replied. "I hail from the far West. But often I have traveled to distant lands for want of seeing this earth through my own two eyes." She smiled as she walked alongside Elemmire.

(Ooc: Um, Elemmire was talking to me)
"I am well" she replied "Yes, I am from here. Actually, I have never left Rivendell, though I long to. Where are you from? What is it like?" Haerodiel sat down as she listened to Elemmire talk.

"I am from the far South. The days are long and hot, for she(the sun) shines down hard on the land. It is very beautiful by the sea. The gulls sing to us at daybreak and the waves lull us to sleep at night. It is a beautiful land to behold, I never wanted to leave..." Elemmire looks to the floor and sighs.

Haerodiel listened with interest as Elemmire talked. When she was finished, Haerodiel asked, "And so Elemmire from the South, what are you doing in Rivendell? If you have come to see Elrond, I think he is free tomarrow, but I know he is not today. " as she waited for a reply, she silently prayed that Elemmire was not intending to stay.

"Will you ask him to council with me? There are many troubles I must dicuss with him. My father has gone mad, and my country has gone awry..." Elemmire begins to sob. "I have wondered this world for hundreds of years looking for a safe place to lay my weary head. I feel I can never go home until the Ring is destroyed." Elemmire realized that she has said to much.

Walsingham winced at the mention of a ring as he returned from the library. “What could this mean? What has gone on?” he thought.
He walked by the elves hoping he might be drawn into the discussion. In the time he had spent at Rivendell, he had learned much about how to fight the shadowy, insidious evils that existed parallel to the light of the elves and now felt the urge to satisfy his honour for the wrong the enemy had done him. He was ready to help. Any way he could.
“New faces.” He said simply as he approached. “What news?”

Haerodiel put an arm around Elemmire, ignoring Walsingham for the moment. "I will go find out when you can see Elrond, but for now, do not weep. You are in Rivendell, the refuge of peace. Your heart may rest here." She then turned to Walsingham and gave him a 'do you want to say something?' look.

Back in the courtyard... (ooc- Naara, if this isn't the direction you want your character to go in, just PM me and I can edit the message).
Lomadia laughed at Halaheru's inquiry. "What would you expect me to say to that, my friend?" she said as the pair started up the stairs into the house. "You know my ways well: when did I ever seek enterprise or excitement, as you do? Nay, Imladris has been my home these many years. You devote your life to the pursuit of adventure; I have chosen to devote mine to erudition and knowledge. You look to satisfy your heart's desire in the ever-changing world; I have found my heart's satisfaction among the books and shelves of Rivendell." She exchanged a warm smile with Halaheru. "But what is your present wish? Shall I take you to your chambers? Or is there some other place to which you wish to go?"

"If it is an open task," Halaheru replied with curious eyes, "I wish to visit the study. See," she then took out a peculiar stone, carved in the shape of what looked like an arrow, but very hard to distinguish, "I found this along my travels one day. I was heading north when it caught my eye. Do you know from what it might derive?"

“Well whether it be my youth, because I am of the race of Men or because I’m a male, but if I am not permitted to know what is happening, then so be it. I bid you good day and hope not to be kept in the dark for too long.”
Walsingham turned back towards the library with a smirk. “I may as well get in as much reading while I can I suppose…” he thought.

"You need not go!" exclamed Elemmire, somewhat intrested in this human. "If you are in want of knowledge you may sit with me for a while. Though you may think my tales long winded." Elemmire had dried her tears quickly. Heart heart was so lonely, she didn't want to be alone again. Walsingham sat down across from Elemmire as Haerodiel walked of. "Now, will you tell me where you are from?" asked Elemmire to Walsingham. "I have met so few men that are friends of Elves!"

“6 months ago I came from down south. I’m originally a Ranger from the northern realms but upon learning of the dark front making progress towards Osgiliath, I decided there was a greater need for me there. Upon arriving, I was welcomed by the southern rangers and set too trying to hold or push back the foul beasts. I tell you, its strange fighting as part of a large force after defending the northern parts alone for so long. Anyway, with concerted effort and fine leadership on the field, we managed to re-take any ground we had once lost. With that, and for having come so far to help, I was allowed to venture into the librarys at Minas Tirith. Months I spent engrossed in those scrolls and annals before I started to understand some of what most never would. I started to see the bigger picture and knew I needed to venture out and learn more. Having come north again, I consulted the rest of the Dúnedain on what I had learned in the south. From what we then knew, we each set out to the dark or deep places of our world to try and learn even more. Alas, that is where I myself became unstuck. In Mirkwood I was trapped by as horrific a monster as could exist, I was wounded, poisoned and lost. It would have been a matter of hours before I was lost forever if it had not been for the Elves. They took me in for as long as my body needed then recommended I complement my knowledge from the librarys of men with that of the elves. And so it came to be that I am here. Humble and aggrieved. I only wish I knew what had become of my fellows…”
Walsingham hung his head with the weight and pressure that rested in the very front of his mind. He felt responsible if anything had become of his fellow Dúnedain.
“I am at your service. Anything I can do to wound the enemy and avenge my comrades would be to my greatest pleasure. If my brothers return without a scratch, I will still join you for the kindness your people have shown me, and selfishly, I think there is much you can teach me…”

"I am afraid some of the enemy belong to my own country, lead by my brothers." Elemmire spoke quietly. "For you see, I am from Harad. There I am addressed as Princess Elemmire. My father, Gil-Glin, had come to that land a long time ago to settle and have a family with my mother, Fearelena. I was their first child. 3 sons and 2 daughters followed. Things were peaceful. Soon Men began to inhabit the country and my father became king. When Sauron began drawing forces to him my father was one who fell uder his command. I escaped his madness and wandered the wilderness for many years. One war has come and gone, but I await another. One that will put an end to all evil. And I will go back to my home land." Elemmire thought of her family and hoped they were well. She lowered her head and sighed.
