"All right, all right! If you’re so against it, then we can work together to sabotage our own wedding!”

“Wait– what?!” the Elf’ eyebrows knitted together for a moment as he wouldn’t expect her to suggest such a thing.

[eristonwillow]

Eriston kept a slightly cautious eye on her as she neared the priest and lowered herself to receive the circlet.

He went back to the day that their official engagement had been announced and was told she was going to be his bride-to-be. This was a marriage bound by politics and he only hoped for the slightest strike of luck that he may fall in love. Eriston looked down and gulped.

Eriston looked at Kashtara. He's marrying her. He's marrying the beautiful girl in front of him, whose kindness and consideration he feels he is undeserving of.

He was called to receive the circlet and he stepped forward.

[eristonwillow]

"Oh gosh! Are you hurt?"

Eriston angrily hissed in pain momentarily before he quickly brought himself back onto his feet, rubbing his side.

“No.”

[eristonwillow]

Eriston saw Kashtara off for a while, watching as her figure got smaller and smaller. But then he heard the rumble of footfalls and turned around.

The refugees were glancing at one another, murmuring because their elven ears can pick up the sound as well. They all hear Malgelir shouting as his horse came galloping in. He had his sword out.

"Orcs!" he cried and Eriston was quick to draw his two blades out. He shouldered past the refugees, telling them to hide in the nearby gully, away from the cliffs. He stood next to Malgelir, ready to protect the border.

[eristonwillow]

"Do you think it’s possible that I…might be… pregnant? "

“If you are then I will be the happiest expectant father in the world,”

Eriston said this as his face lightened up with an excited smile. 

[eristonwillow]

Snow suddenly perked up again and started warbling softly. He gave nervous glances towards Kashtara's womb and Eriston's eyes narrowed, trying to decide what he was going to assume.

"I think Snow is warning us," he said softly.

[eristonwillow]

"Do you think it’s possible that I…might be… pregnant? "

“If you are then I will be the happiest expectant father in the world,”

Eriston said this as his face lightened up with an excited smile. 

[eristonwillow]

The dragon happily squeaked and flapped his little wings hard enough to bring him up in the air and perch on Kashtara’s shoulder. Upon resting though, his tiny head perked and blue eyes peered down towards the womb. Eriston touched Kashtara and he felt a kick beneath his hand.

[kashtara]

One of her hands petted Snow while the other one rested on top of Eriston’s hand. “It will be soon, I’m sure of it.”-muttered Kashtara, happiness showing in her eyes.

[eristonwillow]

"Come," Eriston said with a hand on the small of her back, "We must go to the marketplace to replenish our pantry." Snow warbled softly and climbed down to follow them, the soft paddings of his paws quietly pattering along.

"Should you have any more cravings, just let me know."

[eristonwillow]

"Oh gosh! Are you hurt?"

Eriston angrily hissed in pain momentarily before he quickly brought himself back onto his feet, rubbing his side.

“No.”

[eristonwillow]

"If my eyes do not fool me," Eriston began, "Then that fortress must be Cirdon, the last bastion of the south." Malgelir was already calling to the refugees, asking that they followed him closely down a safe path that he found. Eriston looked at Kashtara with a nod as her okay to fly. Snow, in his arms, wiggled to join her.

[eristonwillow]

"All right, all right! If you’re so against it, then we can work together to sabotage our own wedding!”

“Wait– what?!” the Elf’ eyebrows knitted together for a moment as he wouldn’t expect her to suggest such a thing.

[eristonwillow]

Eriston offered his arm and walked her steadily down the aisle graced with petals and drops of moonlight. The high priest had before him a cushion whereupon a pair of circlets waited- one was gold and the other silver. He whispered quiet prayers as the choir behind him sang softly a hymn. He gently lifted the golden circlet and asked for Kashtara to come forth and lower her head so that he can place the circlet on her.

[eristonwillow]

"Oh gosh! Are you hurt?"

Eriston angrily hissed in pain momentarily before he quickly brought himself back onto his feet, rubbing his side.

“No.”

[eristonwillow]

"Conditions are favorable," Eriston said, his breath misting in the cold wind, "If you so wish to fly." Snow was huddling against the Elf's leg before he was picked up and brought into his arms. The baby dragon shivered slightly against the cold.

Malgelir was yards ahead of the refugees as he closely inspected the fresh foot prints on the snow and then looking far into the direction on where they were headed. It was easy to tell which ones were of Orc feet and ones belonging to Elves. They looked like they were chased for a while before being rounded up like a bunch of cattle and turned around to head south. Malgelir followed the prints further, finding the prints of hooves, probably belonging to Elven horses. \

He looked out to the north west, wondering how far their soldiers were willing to go- or it meant they were getting close to a guarded fortress. A little girl ran ahead, pointing to the mountains ahead, where a large fortress was erected in between the high rocks.

"Do you think it’s possible that I…might be… pregnant? "

“If you are then I will be the happiest expectant father in the world,”

Eriston said this as his face lightened up with an excited smile.

Eriston said this as his face lightened up with an excited smile. 

[eristonwillow]

"I assume we are both ready for any change that can happen once we welcome our child to the world," Eriston said as he kept an arm around her, rubbing her shoulder. By their legs, Snow had somehow managed to catch up, rubbing against them like a feline.

"I forgot to tell you," Eriston said as he watched Snow purring against their legs, "The nurse blessed Snow with the ability to sense our daughter's development." Snow chirped and relaxed against Kashtara's leg.

[kashtara]

The Misunderstanding. (Closed)

[eristonwillow]

"Gentle folk from the Shire, east of the tower hills. They bring the fruits of their harvest," Eriston breathed with a small smile on his lips. He hadn't seen Hobbits in years and to see one now, he felt refreshed and relaxed. He watched as the party of four merrily walked in with a pony at their side, hauling in a cart full of goods. Elves happily talked to them, while others enthusiastically looked at the things they were selling, paying for what they wanted to take. Eriston brought his attention back to the book peddler and purchased two books he was warned too lengthy to finish. After chiding that he will gladly partake in the challenge, he felt a tap on the side of his thigh. Looking down, Eriston almost grinned and rolled his eyes. A Hobbit with a kind, aged face wore a cheeky smile. In his grinning mouth was a weed pipe and he giggled at Eriston and Kashtara.

"Mr. Diggle," he sighed and the Hobbit let out a triumphant chuckle. Now that laugh, Eriston remembered- it really was Willibur Diggle.

[eristonwillow]

"Oh gosh! Are you hurt?"

Eriston angrily hissed in pain momentarily before he quickly brought himself back onto his feet, rubbing his side.

“No.”

[eristonwillow]

"We wait for a messenger bird that will signal that it should be alright for you to proceed in your dragon form," Eriston said as the path began to incline. Here, the temperature dropped as wind from the summits blew downwards and onto the travelers. The group of refugees shivered and huddled together as they pressed on, determined to put as much distance from themselves and the Orcs as much as possible. Not too far away, trails of smoke can be seen and the refugees refused to look. It was another town, but much smaller, reduced to ashes. Miles away, Eriston can see that there had been signs of fighting, but he took an inward sigh of relief upon not being able to find a single body in the ruins. These people had fled, fortunately and Eriston had only hoped that they are still pushing for the West, where it shall be a haven for all of them.

“If I see the stars tonight, none of you exist.”

The Misunderstanding. (Closed)

[eristonwillow]

The book peddler was in town when Eriston walked Kashtara there and he was more than happy to show them his fairly large inventory after crossing the last town from the southeast. Just then, the southern entrance of the town came traveling merchants and musicians. Judging from how short they were, how their feet were covered in thick hairs, and how pointed their ears were-

"If it is not the hobbits from Hobbiton," Eriston breathed with a smile as he watched the small, lively group being greeted.

[eristonwillow]

"Oh gosh! Are you hurt?"

Eriston angrily hissed in pain momentarily before he quickly brought himself back onto his feet, rubbing his side.

“No.”

[eristonwillow]

"Carry only when necessary," Eriston said as he wrapped a shawl around a child before nudging him back to his sibling, "Nobody is crippled yet and it will take a while for any of them to tire, so keep a close eye nonetheless." Eriston told her to stay close to the rear of the group with him, his eyes ever looking miles ahead like Malgelir who had taken the lead for today.

“Onward.” 

[eristonwillow]

"Do you think it’s possible that I…might be… pregnant? "

“If you are then I will be the happiest expectant father in the world,”

Eriston said this as his face lightened up with an excited smile. 

[kashtara]

“Thank you.”-she said as she followed him and putting her hand over his. “I’m sorry I can’t be of more help to you two.”-she sighed. It had been hard for her, and a lesson, to learn to let others take care of her. She still thought they had really spoiled her, though. She would have to make it up to them somehow. 

In the last few days, she had been feeling Narwen move more often than usual, and she had the feeling that it wouldn’t take long for her to be born. “I can’t wait to hold her in our arms. I… I never thought I would have a family again…”-she said, tears appearing on her eyes, though she tried to hold them back.

[eristonwillow]

Eriston didn't say anything as he draped his arms around her shoulders and held her close. He pressed his lips to her temple, lightly kissing her.

"I knew what I wanted to give you," he said quietly as he ran his fingers through her hair, "After knowing what life you had lived." It was when she told him about her family that he wanted to be someone she can love and it was, in their most passionate, most intimate moments together, what he felt for her that set off the determination in him to help her start anew.

[eristonwillow]

"Oh gosh! Are you hurt?"

Eriston angrily hissed in pain momentarily before he quickly brought himself back onto his feet, rubbing his side.

“No.”

[eristonwillow]

“We must keep a low profile,” Eriston said as he picked on his food, “If there come any ambush, our best gamble is that they would all be scouts of some sort. We shall leave none alive, should an ambush ever happen. We cannot risk having our whereabouts known or they would soon follow. Our destination may as well end up in flames before we reach them.” By then, more elderly people and their grandchildren were beginning to group together, awaiting instructions.

[kashtara]

kashtara kept silent for a few moments. “Then perhaps it would be better if I stayed in my human form with you. A dragon going back and forth would bring too much attention on you… and there’s no guarantee that we won’t be followed.”

[eristonwillow]

"We've sent a few scouts ahead," Eriston said, "Should anything happen beyond here, I will know." The maiden and the boy carefully stood to get ready, packing their things and making sure they had at least a dagger to fend for themselves as Eriston talked quietly to the grouped women and children. He looked to Kashtara, silently asking for her to lead with him.
