The Sequel With No Title
Prologue
Beleg was ill at ease at the events that evening. Paullina looked fairly crushed and although she had been a mild annoyance for him the past few days he did find her amusing as well and did not wish her to be upset. Contrary to his nature, he ended up pacing in front of a fire trying to think of ways to appease Liriel.
The rather loud flap of bare feet out in the hall jerked him out of his thoughts. He went to the door and looked down the hall to see Paullina's retreating figure turning into another corridor, she was only in her nightclothes. Beleg grabbed his cloak and followed. He was now following her through the forest on the north side of Rivendell. 'What is she doing?'
'Liriel has driven her mad' He stood and watched Paullina yell at the sky until the strike of lightening that was so close that even he ducked. 'She is gone then' He stared down at the empty ground where he could just vaguely see her footprints, but nothing else.
"What the…" Words failed him. He stood several minutes in silence trying to make sense of what happened. In that pursuit he failed also. Lightening continued to strike in the distance and a particularly close one made him realize the vulnerability of his position. 'It is not safe here. I must return and speak with Elrond' He turned to leave, but was no more than two steps away when, you guessed it, Beleg wasn't there anymore. Who says lightening doesn't strike the same place twice?

(A/N Ah, on the way to more insanity, what fun. Sorry it's a bit short.)
