Thanks to all who favorite, follow, or review!
Where could he be? Where could that… stupid brother of mine have gotten off to? He knows better than to run off alone in weather like this! Especially in these parts—it could be downright dangerous! He can be so… so reckless at times! Does he even think things through before acting?
I doubt it.
He is still young, too young… and immature. Too confident for his own good! How was he even expecting to hunt in this fog? I can barely see that tree ten paces from me! How in Durin's name would he spot an animal?
Sometimes I really wonder about that brother of mine.
I have been calling out his name continuously, but I never receive a response. This confounded fog distorts the sounds of the forest, thrusting me into an unknown world. I have dealt with fog before, but it never fails to set my nerves on edge. It has something to do with not being able to see clearly—taking away, or even just limiting, one of the body's senses can really throw a person off.
Now with my dim-witted, idiotic, reckless, little brother missing, my nerves are absolutely frayed. I am going to kill him when I find him!
If I find him.
No, I will! There is no other option.
…I just hope that he is alright. Why will he not answer me? Can he answer me?
If anything happened to my little brother I would never be able to forgive myself. The grief would kill my mother for sure! And my uncle, well, he would probably become even more distant and withdrawn into himself. Our family has been dealt too many tragedies in such a short amount of time—fate has been known for its unkindness towards the line of Durin.
Lucky us.
And me? I would rather not dwell on life without my baby brother by my side.
Wait… what was that? A noise in the distance… some sort of injured animal maybe—the fog distorts sound too much to tell.
I know this area… there is a cliff off to my right. I need to be careful not to stray too close lest I fall.
Lest I fall—oh no! Please no! If there is anything good left in this world please… no!
"KĺLI!"
