The first chapter! Enjoy! ^-^~
Wilir is standing behind the door. It is quite late, but she can't sleep.
What is keeping her awake is a nightmare. A mere dream, yet so real that she would've sworn that it was real until she woke up.
She had been in her parent's office, or workroom or whatever you prefer to call it.
They had been discussing about something with Lomë. That wasn't quite abnormal,
'cause Lomë was one of the best friends of dad, and helped him often with different kind of cases dad had to do. But in the dream they had fought about something. They shouted to each other, and mum tried to calm them down. Suddenly, Lomë had taken a dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed dad with it. Mom had been screaming in shock. Then Wilir woke up.
She had noticed that she hadn't slept more than hour or two. Now she is on the door of the office and is just about to knock, when she hears dad speaking.
"We have to go. This isn't just little meeting about some country's politics. We are talking about The One Ring, The Ring of Power, The Ring of Destruction. We have to be there when they decide what they're going to do with it. It's our time to give our help to the others."
Wilir's curiosity wakes up. She opens the door a bit, only that much that she can see what is happening inside.
Dad is sitting behind his desk, and Lomë is standing in front of it. Mum is standing a little behind dad.
"Don't be ridiculous, Raumirë!" Lomë says, or more like shouts, "The other clans have hated us who knows how long because our contacts with the underworld people!
Nobody from there has needed our help before, why would they need it now? And this 'Ring' you're talking about, they won the war against it before, why not now?"
"They didn't win the war last time. The Ring exists, and so does Sauron. We must give our aid and make sure that the Ring is destroyed!" dad says with a strict tone.
"No! You will not go to the Council! We must stay away from underworld!" Lomë shouts, his face red from anger
"Sauron will destroy everything if we don't do something!" Dad shouts and stands up.
"Calm down, both of you!" Mom says and grabs dad's arm. Dad sits down, a deep frown in his face. Lomë lowers his voice as he says:
"I know that Sauron will come after us. But that is only if we decide to join this insanity. I have seen it..."
"What? Seen? How could you...oh my. Don't tell that you've used the Seeing Stone! It's forbidden and you know it very well!" Mum says disbelief in her voice.
"Some things must be changed. Forbidden things must be allowed. Allowed things must forbid. And I cannot allow you to bring destruction to our clan with this. I'm sorry, mate, but you will not leave this room alive", Lomë says, and pulls out a dagger from his sleeve. Wilir gasps silently. The dagger is exactly the same as the one in her dream.
After that, everything is a perfect chaos. Lomë stabs dad. Mum screams in horror and shock. Some other people come from backdoor. One of them hits mum with a sword. Lomë explains something to the other men. But Wilir can't hear them anymore. She can't hear anything. Anything except loud humming that is coming louder and louder all the time.
Wilir falls down to her knees. She can't believe what she has just seen. A nightmare that isn't a dream anymore. They died. They're dead. She is alone.
Wilir doesn't know how long she sits on the cold stone floor. When she regains her senses, she understands something important. When mum and dad are dead, they will definitely come after her! She rises up and sneaks to her room as silently as she can, and locks the door behind her. She changes her clothes to a travelling suit.
She takes her bow, vine full of razor-sharp arrows, sword, and daggers. She grabs her backpack she has held on the corner of her room. Inside it there is all kind of things you might need when you have to leave quickly with no time for packing.
Someone's on the door. Wilir can hear the continuous whacks. The door won't last long. Her heart starts beating faster and faster.
Wilir grabs her crystal pendant that is hanging aside the mirror. The door is starting to give in. Whacks are getting louder. Wilir climbs to the windowsill, spreads her wings and jumps. She falls, down and down and down, until the wind catches her wings. She hears the door crashing and angry yells of the men inside the room. Wilir flies to a nearby cloud, so the men can't see her. She stays there for a while, and continues her escape. 'But where? Where do I have to go?' Wilir thinks desperately. She tries to memorize all things she has overheard about this ring thing. The council, or whatever dad called it, was held on some elf's home. The place had a weird name, something like
I'm glad dress...or then no. She had been there once before, but that was when she was a lot younger. The cloud had been in a completely different place that time*. But that doesn't matter. She doesn't have any other choice.
'I will find that place! 'Though I would be the only one, I WILL bring them our aid!' Wilir thinks while she glides through the night sky.
*Sylphids live on the clouds, and they move as the clouds do. They're kinda like nomads...(Without sheep :)
