For Old Times' Sake
This is my First Fanfic, so please, be nice :)
Constructive Criticism is the best :)
Chapter 1
Gilan sighed in thought, tuning out form the world around him. He did not see the beautiful moon above him, or the sound of the trees swaying, or the sound of the wind calling him to admire the beauty of the night.
He had heard of stories of the Explicate One.
It was a ranger tale that really was no older than he himself was.
The person who basically led the army that put away the Lord Morgrath into the mountains the first time. The one, who like him, had studied under Mac Niel, but for much longer. The person whose arrow never missed the speckle he was aiming at, and could move as silently as the night.
But strange enough, Gilan had never met the legend. The Explicate One had never came to the ranger gatherings, and always made his appearances private, hood up and silent. Though it seemed unlikely, it was reality, unfortunate for Gilan.
It was like Halt and Crowley had kept him a secret.
But it was also as if the both of them had a change in heart, deciding that it was finally time.
The thing that was bothering Gilan was that he did not know why now was the time. Why his hero had been so secretive. It bothered him that Halt and Crowley were usually so open to him, except when the topic of the Explicate One came up.
He wondered if anyone else shared his curiosity about the whereabouts of this legend.
"He doesn't have a fief because we currently have a surplus in rangers, and you of all people should know that."Halt explained. And that was that. There was nothing else that Halt or Crowley would say.
But what was so special about now? That Gilan had to finally meet this legend?
But, he had to admit, there was a small warm sensation in him that was fluttering from excitement.
But who could blame him right?
His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a hand squeeze his shoulder.
He had been so lost in his thoughts; he hadn't heard Halt calling him to leave.
The two of them had been planning to ride to the castle of Araluen with Crowley, to receive an unknown mission from King Duncan.
The ride felt like a short one for Gilan, as his thoughts continued about The Explicate One. He remained silent for the entire half day ride, which worried Halt a little bit.
He almost felt guilty for not telling Gilan why the Explicate One was a secret. Not only from Gilan, but others too. He would understand, Halt told himself, he would have to.
I don't know why, but I left Will out, he'll meet there I guess
I really couldn't think of anything cool, but The Explicate One is a legend that is known by EVERYONE, just to get it in your' alls head!
Please review, remember that this is my first fanfic, so constructive criticism PLEASE!
