Fin and Bambi's house.

[Phyrehawk]

There's an exclamation from Fin inside the cottage before the door is yanked open. "Sis...." his face fell slightly when he saw it wasn't who he obviously though it was, but he recovered and smiled sadly, stepping towards her, then pausing.

"Alina." he said softly, apprehension in his voice.

He steps forward as before hesitating, his eyes brimming again at her voice. "Alina..." he starts before moving to embrace her whispering apologies and reassurances in Elvish softly.

after a while she looks up into fins face and meets his eye

" I will not leave her there, we must send her to vleybor we must"

((Italics = Elvish.))

"We will. We will go there, get her back and end that miserable abomination..." he says fiercely an angry glint in her eye. "[i]She was one of the kindest, gentlest people that I have ever known... She does not deserve to be a the hands of that monster." Angry tears are flowing down his cheeks and he is shaking slightly.

*Alina straightens herself up and tries to wipe the tears from her face*

"we will save her soul"
"She has been such a comfort to me when times have been dark"

Alina puts her hands on fins shoulders and grips him tightly

" we must have faith that she will be okay it is all we have"

Fin wipes away a couple of the tears that she missed.

"Is there no way we could save her... Bring her back to Arda, still living and breathing among us?" he asks quietly. "I know we can save he soul... we WILL save her soul... But can we not preserve her gift from Vleybor as well?"

Alina smiles caringly at fin as he wipes away her tears

"eddie told me that all who are left there die at dawn..time is different there it passes quicker..my greatest fear is that he is wrong what if they just live thier natural years and that she will suffer there alone for all her years"

"But if they die... How does this Marcus creature still have her? How is he still..." his face clouded over. "You saw the message he posted... what he said he is doing to her..." Angry tears welled up in his eyes. "There must be some way..."

"I dont know perhaps he is lying, but despite what all the mages tell me I read it and i cannot help but think that maybe she is still alive"

His face brightens with a kind of hope. "She could be!"" he says, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice. "We just need to find some way of..." He sighed. "Do you know of anyone else that knows how to get to the Lands?"

He nods in agreement. "I'm not sure I do either... His fault... I'm sure it's his fault..." he hugs her again before taking a step back and looking around at the forest and then up into the sky.

"She used to love looking at the sky when we were younger... Before... When we were hiding in Tesrae when we were younger, we'd spend hours just looking at the stars and the moon." he fell silent for several long minutes.

He whispered a name practically inaudibly, "... I will bring you back to see the stars again."

Alina looks towards the stars and then at the moon.

"my mother used to tell me that we all sat together under the same moon it is what bound all on arda together no matter who they are"

"If every living creature shares one thing on this plane, I believe it must be the moon. Even in the harsh, barren desert of the Konn the moon and stars seemed somehow familiar. So many leagues separate Ithron and the Konn... yet we all look up at the same moon."

"It helped... knowing that there was at least something familiar looking down on us... The Seven and the stars..." he smiled and looked back at Alina.

"My sister always seemed to be more at peace under the stars... when the day had ended and the world stopped their work..." he trailed off, as if something had just dawned on him. He looked back up at the moon again, before rushing towards Alina. "There is someone else we can ask. S... My sister worked at Lustay's in Mercia, the owner - Click-Click, she mentioned he was a mage. I'm pretty sure that I've heard Edward speak of him as well... He was his master... And I think it was HIM that told Edward about the Lands! We could ask Click-Click! He may be able to help us!" he voice grew slightly louder and excitable as the thoughts formed in his mind.
