Treebeard & Deorwyn
"No… no! Del… Del, no!" The child was thrashing in her sleep, crying out in fear. "Watch out! Del, no! He's a bad man, Del, he's a bad man!" She gasped for breath, trying to drag precious air into her lungs. Clutching her doll, she moaned, "Del… Del! Del, don't… Eothain… stop… stop… Del, no! Don't hurt Eomer! DON'T HURT EOMER!"
The child thrashed about, sobbing and whimpering names of people Treebeard had never heard of before. They were names of humans… perhaps her family?
"No," she wept softly, "no, please… Celebaer! Celebaer… Ada… Wikek…." And she fell deeper into sleep, falling silent and still. Treebeard blinked slowly and brushed a gentle twig against her soft cheek. She burned like fire now, not just summer sunlight, and her breath gurgled wetly in her chest as she tried to take in air. She needed aid, aid he had no way to bring her. She needed a Wizard.
