~*~Kiri's POV~*~
After several hours, I started to realize that I wasn't getting anywhere, and, mainly, that I was lost. My right hand was hanging limply by my side and hurt horribly, but the main thought in my head was what to do.
I had never been in the forest much and I didn't know my way around at all, but one thing stood out clearly in my head-the one place I had always been forbidden to go to while I had been Nargadorgar's 'slave'. A small talon in the woods, several miles from the caves I slept in.
I tried to head southeast, which had been the direction I remembered, and in not too long, I came across a small talon.
As I approached, I saw a well-cared for garden, being pruned by a 12-or-13- year-old female elf. She turned when she saw me approach and straightened. "Hello," she said warily, but I noticed that she had a very pretty voice. "My name is Liadriel, daughter of Gweldon and Erniliel. Do you mind me asking, but who are you?"
I shrugged. "You can just call me Kiri," I said. "My name's Kirinde, though, if you like that more. Is this where you live?"
Liadriel shrugged and gestured at the talan overhead. "Yes, this is my home," she said proudly. "It may not seem like much, but. whatever! Where do you live?"
In several minutes, Lia and I became friends, and I soon realized that we shared many characteristics in common.
~*~Liadriel's POV~*~
I looked with interest at the young elf maiden in front of me, telling me about her life, and I gazed at her with interest. It was surprising that we looked so much the same. What a strange coincidence. I broke off my thoughts when I overheard what she was saying.
"... And then, the dwarf became angry at me, and lost his temper, and well, here I am."
She smiled ruefully and lifted her right hand for emphasis, suddenly wincing in pain. I rushed over to her as her face turned ashen and she collapsed on the ground.
~*~Kiri's POV~*~
And the last thing I remembered before everything turned dark was Lia's anxious face, bent over me.
