Reunion: Chapter One: Return To Aerendor

"Elidor, would you stop fidgeting with that horses rein? You'll be fine." Elyana told her son as the road toward Aerendor with Catriona, Sindri, and Rohawn at their sides. Elidor carried Vael in his arms; she had been sleeping for the past 8 hours.

Rina had returned to Aerendor just days earlier. The group now decided to return and gather supplies before continuing on their quest to rid Vael of the death curse that The Defiler had inflicted upon her.

"I won't be fine, mother. The Silvenesti don't exactly welcome me with open arms, especially since the last time I was there I left the whole place in ruins." Elidor said nervously.

Elyana clucked her tongue, "That wasn't your fault and you know it."

"I know it, but they don't."

Unable to find any other words to comfort her son Elyana kicked her horse and it moved ahead.

"Elidor?" came a weak whisper from his arms.

Elidor glanced down to find Vael starting up at him, her eyes glossy and unfocused.

"How are you feeling?" Elidor asked as he pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear.

Vael responded with a yawn as she shifted to a more comfortable position in his arms. "Tired, where are we going?"

Elidor shook his head; he had told the girl where they were going at least a dozen times already. Her sickness was messing with her brain, "Aerendor, my home." He told her once again.

Vael nodded in remembrance, "Oh, yes, I remember now. The home of the Silvenesti." Vael's body shook slightly in fear of how the Silvenesti, a race who thought they were imperial, would treat her since she was a mixed breed like Elidor.

"I won't let them hurt you." Elidor assured her, sensing her distress. "If they say one thing to you they'll be sorry they ever did."

"I know, Elidor." Vael said softly, yawning again.

"Sleep, we still have a long journey ahead of us" Elidor told her.

"I think I'll stay awake. It's a beautiful journey, I would like to see the rest of the world since I haven't been anywhere except Tarrent, is-" Whatever Vael was going to say was cut off for she fell asleep once again.

Elidor sighed and pulled Vael closer to him, and trudged on.

"We should stop here for the night." Icefire suggested, pointing toward a small cave to their right.

"We're not stopping." Davyn told Icefire, "Nearra or Jirah is going to have to die if we don't find another way to break their family curse; we don't have time to stop."

"What do you suggest? That we keep walking forever? The girls are exhausted, I'm exhausted, Keene's exhausted, and you're probally exhausted!" Icefire stated.

Davyn mumbled something incoherent under his breath, but the truth was Icefire was right. Looking back and Jirah and Nearra, leaning against each other so they didn't fall on the ground from lack of sleep, to Icefire's tired eyes, and feeling the effects of two days with no sleep on himself Davyn had to admin, Icefire was completely correct. They needed sleep. Davyn wished they could keep going because he couldn't stand to loose Nearra, and Nearra wouldn't let Jirah die in place of her and he wanted to find another option as quickly as possible. Now the companions were forced to sleep and waste the precious time that kept Nearra and Jirah alive. Icefire dropped his pack on the floor of the cave and propped himself up against a wall, Nearra and Jirah entered the cave next, finding a spot in the corner and curling up together for warmth followed by Keene who sat next to Icefire. Lastly Davyn entered the cave, sitting alone away from everybody else. As Davyn's eyes closed he couldn't help but feel completely alone.

I hope the Dragonlance section was the correct place to post this. There were no sections for The New Adventures Series or the Trinistyr Trilogy and since they are part of Dragonlance, I assumed I could post it here. If I get enough reviews, (1 or more), I will post another chapter soon. I'm not sure how many of you read these books.
