When dreaming ends chapter 2: To Kill and To Learn
Many years had passed and we were trained to be the best at swordsmanship and archery. Mordecai had taken us to a man named Meredith. He was the same man that had trained my brother. I had later found out that this place that we stayed at was the place that our brother was living. We got to see him every other day unless he was out on a mission.
The place that we stayed at was in a deserted place in the mountains. We were shut off from all life and unable to leave the fortress. We lived in that place for 536 years, training until Meredith decided that it was the time for us to try out on our skill with the blade. He had trained us every day and night. The exercises were brutal. We had to learn how to keep our guard up. He had no feelings whatsoever when it came to injuries. Sometimes we would receive sever blows that would almost cause our death. He would say that if you do not know the pain then what shall you do in real life when you receive blows like this. You will crumple in pain. Learn the pain and be immune to it.
The morning that we were supposed to get up and get ready to go try out our skill. I had no idea what that meant but I would soon find out.
I walked up to the stone pillars like I would always do when I would just want to sit and watch the area before me. Miakoda came from down the halls. We both had our fighting armor on; we walked into the weapon room to grab our weapons and then walked out onto the training grounds. Meredith was waiting for us.
"We shall begin today's lesson with a change. I want to test your skills first in running. You will run down the mountain as fast as you think possible." He said. Miakoda looked at me with uncertain eyes. I was always able to surpass my oldest sister in all the training. She surpassed me with strength but my advantage was speed. I could move faster then the eye could follow. I was happy that I had something that I could use to my advantage to beat her.
"Let's begin" Meredith said and then turned to go out the gate. The two of them followed. They stopped at the edge of a cliff where it sloped. "We shall all go at the same time. So now I want you two to be at both sides of me, lets call this a race. And I must warn you, watch out for the trees and branches. Any questions?"
"Master," Miakoda began. "Um we do not know this terrain how are we supposed to know where to go?"
"That's simple just go down till you reach the end. Now can we please begin." He said promptly. "Ready GO!"
The three of them ran down the mountainside as fast as they could while dodging trees. Iserith was in second place behind their master. She looked ahead and say that there were a cluster of trees that she would not be able to get through so she sped up passing her master and swerving around to the side where she thought would be the best. Meredith was right behind her. Then Miakoda was no his heels about to pass him.
Iserith closed her eyes and was still dodging all the trees without her sight. She felt that she could feel all that was around her. She slowly opened her eyes again and looks at her surroundings. She was still running and dodging trees. She was having a little bit of trouble keeping her balance because the slope was so steep. She heard Miakoda and Meredith a little ways behind her now. How was she to know where she was supposed to go? She was running blindly through the forest. The further she went the thicker the trees got. This got so bad that she was forced to slow down some. They kept running down the mountain for another hour and a half or so.
Up ahead Iserith could see a figure standing there and she also noticed that she had come the end of the mountain. As she got closer she noticed that it was Ethan. Iserith ran and jumped into his arms.
"Please tell me that I have reached the end dear brother," she said exasperated.
"You have reached the end. But you still have a lot more to do." he said
"I had to run for two hours as fast as I cold and you are telling me I have more to do?" she asked. "I really do not feel like doing this any more." she let him go and sat on the ground. Meredith and Miakoda came running out of the forest and then stopped near Ethan.
"Sister," Miakoda started. "Just tell me how you could get ahead of us so quickly and get so far. We lost sight of you a half hour into the run," she said out of breath.
"I am special," she answered with a grin on her face. "So master, what do you have planed for us next? Tell me it has to do with the sword or arrow because if we are going to run around all day tell me why did I have to bring them with Me." she said turning to Meredith.
"Since you are so anxious to start then lets or would you rather take a rest before we begin." he said.
"Oh no, I am in no rush. Please take your time," she said. They sat there for about fifteen minutes until Meredith told them it was time to start.
"Now children you will work on you skill with they sword. We are going to go down into the valley where we can practice on some targets." they then walked to the valley where they stopped.
There were some people down there that looked like they were moving to another place because they had all of their belongings with them.
As they stood at the top of the hill Ethan handed Miakoda and Iserith a cloak "Put them on you two.' he commanded, they obeyed.
"Now you see those people down there?" Meredith asked. Seeing their nods he continued. "Now you know what I want you to do." He noticed the horrified expressions on their faces. He rolled his eyes.
"We will not!" Miakoda said. "You want us to kill those innocent people down there."
Meredith gave Ethan a 'back me up on what I'm about to say' look. "Dears you don't understand, those are not innocent people they are slave traders. They need to be dealt with, and what a better way to learn. So I will have no disobedience from the two of you, do as I say.' he said.
The two of them slowly nodded and pulled up there hoods. They ran down the hill with all the speed that they could muster. As the people then noticed them they unsheathed their swords and started to attack. They heard the screams of the women there and now that the men had recovered form their shock they drew their swords to attack. The two had more experience than the men and more skill so the men were not a problem.
One man that was on Iserith's side came up to her and she turned to him and sliced his neck. His blood splattered all over her face but she chose to ignore it and continue to kill them. After they were done with the men they turned their attention on all the fleeing women and children. Miakoda looked at Iserith and shook her head.
"We must." Iserith said softly and they both went after the women and children. When they were done Miakoda looked at her hands and shook her head tears started to come down her face. 'How could they do such a thing. It was not right, Meredith had lied to them told them that to get them to kill all those people.'
Ethan and Meredith came down the hill and looked at what they did. "Very good you two. I couldn't have done it better myself. I have very good students." Meredith said looking at the two.
Miakoda looked at him with fire in her eyes. "How could you lie to us like that!" she screamed, "these were innocent people and you had us kill them!"
Iserith now wiped the blood from her face look at her sister. She got up and cleaned her sword. She walked over to Meredith and Ethan and said, "I want to go home now." her voice was soft and devoid of and feeling like a child with no soul. Ethan looked down at her. "Very well lets get you cleaned up."
Miakoda was taken back. 'How could her sister just act like that when they had just slaughtered children.'
"I will not be apart of this any longer," she said looking down at her feet. "If you think that killing people will satisfy you hunger, do not get me involved in this. Isn't what you taught us to protect people not kill them. What is it that you really want us to do."
"Like I said child you are here to be an assassin you kill those that you are paid to kill. There is not good or bad, there is only those who know how to survive and those who don't. I don't care like an idiot like you, go if you want to." Meredith said, and then turned to leave.
Miakoda put her head down and followed Meredith back home tears still coming down her face. 'I need time, I cannot think with this pain in my heart.' she thought to herself.
Iserith followed behind Ethan not saying a word. Inside her eyes were blank. Her face was emotionless she did not want to think about it. 'I did what I had to, no use dwelling on it, I can't change what I have already done.'
In the morning when Iserith got up the air was foreign to her. She opened her eyes and rolled of her bed. The thoughts of the previous day came back to her and a wave of nausea hit her so she ran into her bathroom to empty her stomach. The morning was not turning out so good. She cleaned up and took a bath then went out to go have breakfast. The sun had not risen yet so she decided to go the courtyard. She waited till the sun fad risen and everyone was in the courtyard.
"What are you doing up so early?" Ethan asked
"Just thinking." she answered no different than the state she was in yesterday night. "Is what we do really worth all the lives that we are taking? I see no difference in murder," she stated softly.
Ethan wrapped his arms around her. "Rith, you need to be strong. You sister has decided that what she will do is leave and go back home to build a civilization to rule. She will use what she has learned to protect her people. I know that she will be a great leader but we now have are place in life here. Will you leave me here?"
"Why would I ever do such a cruel thing like that? I thought that you knew me better than that." she said a smile playing on her lips. "So what did master say about yesterday?" she asked
"He said that you did a very good job and he thinks that you can start doing jobs now. But he wants to see the full extent of your abilities. You have a lot of power in you. Your skills are amazing and we think that you have a hidden potential inside of you so we are going to try and bring that out of you." he said with a small smile.
"When is she leaving?" she asked
"Oh, maybe in a few days or a few weeks. I am not sure."
"Well she better take care of herself"
"Or you'll do what?"
"I can do a lot of things."
"Yeah ok."
"Ethan what's that supposed to mean?"
"Whatever you think it means."
"Whatever your just mad because I am the fastest and besides yesterday while we were running I wasn't even trying. I was let's say I was jogging very slowly."
Meredith came out and sat near them. A male elf came through the gates and walked up to Meredith and handed him a note then turned and left. Meredith read the note and then a small smile made its way upon his lips. He moved his long blonde tresses out of his face.
"Ethan the others are coming so I guess that we are going to have to get ready," he said. "Iserith I will need you to go to the kitchen and tell the cooks that they will need to prepare for Deloldur and the others my this afternoon." Iserith got up and left to do what she was told. When she returned she saw Ethan and Meredith sparring so she decided to just sit and watch. A few minutes later they stopped and they turned to her.
"Child go and fetch your sword don't expect this to be a day off." Meredith said to her. Then turned his attention back to Ethan and the begun to spar again. Iserith walked to the weapon area and grabbed her sword then turned to leave but stopped when she heard some noise outside like there were many people outside. She turned to go out the back way.
She slowly went around the building to where she was able to see in the courtyard but she kept hidden from view. There were other male elves like her master with blonde hair and blue eyes. They were talking about something that she had no care about. They were of no concern of hers'. She turned around and went back into the weapon room and out through the entrance. Iserith walked trough the buildings and to the courtyard reminding herself to put her emotional expression on. As she walked into view all eyes were on her.
"Meredith is this one of your new students?" one of them asked.
"Yes this is Iserith," he said. "A very good student I even think that she surpasses all of your skills when you all were at this point in time."
"Meredith you can go on I will take care of her training for today." Ethan said.
"Thank you Ethan, I think I will just watch for today." Meredith said and then walked to the steps to take a seat. All the men that were there went to sit down also.
"Are you ready to begin?" Ethan asked.
"Always." she said and they began. An hour later they stopped and Iserith wiped the sweat off her face.
"I'm going to go check on Miakoda I will see you at dinner." Iserith said and then turned to walk away.
"Why do you worry about that stupid child?" Meredith asked. Iserith gave him a glare that would make a Barlrog run away.
"Because she is my sister what other reason do I need." she said with a cold voice then turned to leave.
"You need to teach that girl how to respect others." one of the men said. "She could become rebellious."
"Ha, her sister beat her to it." Meredith said.
"What else would you expect Miakoda is older than me she knows what she feels is right and what she feels is wrong? Iserith only obeys because she knows nothing else." Ethan explained.
"Well the problem is she feels too much you should have put a stop to that a long time ago." another man said.
*~*~
Iserith walked down the hallways and up the staircase then down to the left wing to Miakoda's room. She knocked on the door there was no answer so she opened the door to see Miakoda sleeping on the bed. Iserith went to the bed and laid down beside her. Iserith wrapped her arms around Miakoda and fell asleep.
Iserith woke up while it was dark; she looked up into her sister's eyes.
"I was wondering when you were going to wake up," she said smiling.
"You should talk you were asleep all day."
"No, I did not go to sleep all night."
"Whatever oh and there are other elves here I don't know who they are and they are none of my concern."
Miakoda sat up and got out of bed. There was a knock at the door and then it was opened to the face of Ethan.
"So the two princesses finally decide to awaken. I hope that you both know that you missed dinner," he said.
"Oh, so what I did not want to sit around and hear a bunch of drunk men talk about how powerful they have become and how well they are getting paid in there assassinations." Iserith said in a mocking voice.
"You know the men think that you will be a problem." Ethan said.
"Oh I know I will be the best that they are worried that when I get into the business they all will want me to do the jobs. Really Ethan those men are none of my concern." Iserith said. The two of them kept talking.
When they finished Miakoda had time to bathe and get dressed. So the three of them walked down the hall so Miakoda and Iserith could get something to eat.
A few weeks later Miakoda left to go back home and restart their realm. Iserith and Ethan kept training for hundreds of years until Iserith had started to work. She had found out somewhere along the line that she could read minds and use magic ECT. Then it became known to them that their family line had scattered bits of madge power and that every other line of generation a child would receive the powers of a madge. (A madge is like a wizard but more powerful.) So she had to train a few extra hundred years to develop her skills.
Iserith was a feared assassin after a few thousands of years. She often went to live in Miakoda's realm with her brother. But always went back to work when called. Somewhere along the line Iserith met Gandalf who then taught her how to control her powers and how to stay as a madge of light. For all madge's were born of light but then darkness consumes them and they become a madge of dark. There are no madge's of light left except for Iserith. She became very close to Gandalf and was sad whenever they had to part for the war of the ring came and Gandalf had to leave her to do what he had to do. About three years after the war of the ring Iserith got called again.
Iserith ran through the forest of Nathril, when she reached the borders there was a man waiting for her. She stopped and walked up to him.
"What is it that you want me to do for you sir." Iserith asked the man.
"I want you to kill the king of Gondor for one-thousand pieces of gold." the man said.
"oh?" she was surprised at this one. "and how would you like this done?"
"I want you to go and live there in Gondor and then get close to the king and all of his friends. Then I want you to kill him and please make it painful." he said menace gleaming in his eyes.
"Very well it shall be done." she said and he gave her the money. "I have another question to ask. And what of his people? Surely they will fall in the absence of their king. I have heard that his queen is an elf."
"I really do not care what happens to his people kill them If you want. But you kill as many as it takes to get the king of Gondor dead." the man said then turned to get on his horse to leave.
Iserith turned and went back into the forest. She would need to start to pack. She would leave in 3 days time.

"I'm going to go check on Miakoda I will see you at dinner." Iserith said and then turned to walk away.
"Why do you worry about that stupid child?" Meredith asked. Iserith gave him a glare that would make a Barlrog run away.
"Because she is my sister what other reason do I need." she said with a cold voice then turned to leave.
"You need to teach that girl how to respect others." one of the men said. "She could become rebellious."

A few weeks later Miakoda left to go back home and restart their realm. Iserith and Ethan kept training for hundreds of years until Iserith had started to work. She had found out somewhere along the line that she could read minds and use magic ECT. Then it became known to them that their family line had scattered bits of madge power and that every other line of generation a child would receive the powers of a madge. (A madge is like a wizard but more powerful.) So she had to train a few extra hundred years to develop her skills.
Iserith was a feared assassin after a few thousands of years. She often went to live in Miakoda's realm with her brother. But always went back to work when called. Somewhere along the line Iserith met Gandalf who then taught her how to control her powers and how to stay as a madge of light. For all madge's were born of light but then darkness consumes them and they become a madge of dark. There are no madge's of light left except for Iserith. She became very close to Gandalf and was sad whenever they had to part for the war of the ring came and Gandalf had to leave her to do what he had to do. About three years after the war of the ring Iserith got called again.
Iserith ran through the forest of Nathril, when she reached the borders there was a man waiting for her. She stopped and walked up to him.
"What is it that you want me to do for you sir." Iserith asked the man.
"I want you to kill the king of Gondor for one-thousand pieces of gold." the man said.
"oh?" she was surprised at this one. "and how would you like this done?"
"I want you to go and live there in Gondor and then get close to the king and all of his friends. Then I want you to kill him and please make it painful." he said menace gleaming in his eyes.
"Very well it shall be done." she said and he gave her the money. "I have another question to ask. And what of his people? Surely they will fall in the absence of their king. I have heard that his queen is an elf."
"I really do not care what happens to his people kill them If you want. But you kill as many as it takes to get the king of Gondor dead." the man said then turned to get on his horse to leave.
Iserith turned and went back into the forest. She would need to start to pack. She would leave in 3 days time.
