I wanted to say thank you for all of the followings, favorites and reviews I have received from the first chapter. I didn't know how well it would do but I can see I have a very interested audience and I'm glad to either help your boredom or enhance your joy.
A Stranger's Tale
Chapter Two: The journey forth
The ride on the road was uneventful for the duo. They talked and occasionally walked beside the horse. Kagome was enjoying the sun on her face as well as the feel of the trees. She couldn't believe she was free again. She hadn't ever thought she would be free again, but she was. All thanks to her friend Glorfindel who knew her whole story and stood by her for many years.
Glorfindel on the other hand was watching her reactions. He closely watched as she smiled and touched each tree and grass as if it were an illusion. He would smile as she bent down to smell the flowers. He too often took them for granted but she didn't. She has always been that way.
"Kagome, we are coming to the sea. We should find our vessel and be off to Forlindon by the week's end." He stated as he eyed her warmly.
Kagome smiled brightly and nodded her head. It has been ages since she has been to Forlindon or anywhere past the Blue Mountains. She was excited to see her friend's homeland.
"Let me place my feet in the water before we head off, Glorfindel. It has been many years since I've touched the sea. "
He nodded and helped her take her sandals off and watched her with a bright smile. She was just a light to this world when dark times press upon them. He watched her wiggle her toes in the sand and just squeal in delight at the water touching her toes. She looked to be a child once again.
"Kagome, it is time to be off. Gildor Inglorion should be meeting us in when we arrive in Forlindon. He has brought us a horse so that we may travel quickly to Imladris."
She looked over to him and smiled. She knew their adventure was just starting but she couldn't wait to be of use once more.
"I'm ready to depart when you are. I will play in the sea when our errand has finished." She walked over to her friend and smiled a smile that made her eyes sparkle. It seemed that her eyes were crystals of blue.
She boarded the vessel while Glorfindel sent the horse back to its home. She stood to one side of the ship and watched the waves coming onto the shore.
It wasn't long after her guard boarded the ship that they were heading towards Forlindon.
Please Read, Enjoy and Review.
I hinted to where she was held captive at. If you can guess it, you'll get a special mention!
