DISCLAIMER: I own everything to do with Areleyn and Aayla. You want them? You'll have fight me...


Areleyn treaded warily along the white sword-pointed-path. To anyone else, this was just a long white gable, but to gods, this was the path to their final resting place. Aalya. Depending on the person, it could take as long as centuries or as soon as a few days to enter Aayla. Areleyn was hoping for the latter. In front of her a silky white dress and robe appeared next to a pot of healing potions. This meant she was getting nearer to her goal. The gods were watching her progress. She hastily dressed out of her grimy traveling clothes as she thought to herself for the thousandth time.

Aayla was the heaven of the gods. Only they could make they journey. Once you entered you could never return to Earth unless you were exiled for killing one of your kin. That is a terrible crime to commit. Was it worth it? Should she continue? She wiped away the thought. Of course it was. She was preventing an old nemesis from terrorizing Middle-Earth. She was saving lives. She poured the healing potion on her wounds from the many injuries that were inflicted on her body from the monsters that protected Aayla. She started to continue her journey when it, suddenly, felt like she was burning from dragon fire. Her knees buckled and she fell to the ground. As quickly as the pain arrived, it receded. She took a quick inventory of her injuries. Where harsh gashes and lacerations were, there was only smooth skin. She put this in the back of her mind to ask one of her friends later. She sighed as she stood and began her slow progress through the ever long "gable."


Authors Note: This chapter is short but relevant to the plot, I assure you. It's more foreshadowing for the future. Thanks, for your time. Hope you stay tuned! - K. Jeynkins
