The Forgotten Ones

This is a story that takes place after Drizzt leaves Montolio's Grove after the hermit dies. Rated PG in the case that I am in an extremely bad mood and put in some really gory fight scenes. Any name that is recognizable from Salvatore's work is a name that I do not own.

With a downcast heart and confused feelings about the mysteries of life and death he began his next long march into the unknown. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

That night it rained. As Drizzt huddled into his cloak for warmth he wondered again how Montolio could have died when he was still showing Drizzt the ropes of living on the surface. He resigned himself to being a lonely wanderer for the rest of his long life. Either that or go back to the dark and cheerless world of the surface elves. No, he thought violently, I will never go back to my murdering kin. "NEVER," he yelled at the stars. Then he sat back and wept. . .
