First Encounter
I have wandered a long time, lost in the woods. I was separated from my mistress, Nimrodel, and I cannot find her. I think I've wandered in circles looking. I cannot tell which way to go.
"My lady?" He stands in my path; tall, dark-haired and grey eyed. Where did he come from? I heard no sound to tell of his coming.
"My lady? May I help you?"
"I am lost sir, and cannot find my way."
His bearing is one of strength, kindness, and warmth. He comes near, and I am captivated by him. He takes my hand and offers his help.
