Legend of Ariasfil' » Places

         Slowly, she is able to breathe again. Everything he said to her hurt as if a million needles were stabbing her. She squirmed free and fell to the ground with a loud 'oof'. Rage welled inside her, but she had to keep herself sane. Waren breathed deeply, feeling her muscles tighten. She stood up and went back a little to retrieve her daggers. She stood there for a moment among the bandits she killed. Just as she thought. To him, she was just another pathetic human. No elf she ever met thought any different, but they allowed her room to become better. At this point, Waren thought she was as good as she could ever be. Waren put her weapons away and walked back.

She was fully aware now that dwarves were prideful, and that they'll push others around and expect to be respected. There was no reason to argue with him. That was witchcraft the bandit pulled on her, she felt. And nothing can battle with witchcraft, but more witchcraft. She felt the corner of her mouth turn up slightly and then fall again. She suspected that even Thorgan couldn't battle witchcraft. "You dwarves are no different if you think of it. Expecting others to respect you without giving them a reason to. I however, don't care for respect." She walked past, barely managing to push his hurtful words out of her mind. "I feel that you don't need my help to get to Roin in the first place, and that you just wanted to go there with me trailing behind you as if I were a pathetic little human, being pushed around by a big strong dwarf."

She wasn't going to let him do that to her. There was no way Waren was going to be tossed around by a dwarf. And honestly, thinking highly of herself made her feel powerful. Even if in the back of her mind, she knew she was anything but. After a few more moments she lagged behind him. "I bid you good travels and finding Roin." She turned onto a smaller trail leading away from Life Road. It was the one she knew to lead her home. After two years... She'd be home.

         Waren swallowed and watched. Her eyes widened slightly, and there was a bandit now dead ion front of them. She knew he was capable of fighting, but like a typical dwarf, he showed no mercy. She was a little taken aback by the way he killed the bandit. It was no surprise that she saw someone die, Waren has seen plenty of that. And she too, has killed before. She didn't enjoy it, though. But it was for the sake of her and Toris' lives. The memory came back to her, and she sighed uneasily, looking at the ground for a moment before looking back up. "Anyway. Lets be going. We're close." She started off again, passing by Thorgan. Her posture was a little more relaxed, but the way she walked was brisk, as if she was eager or anxious to get to Roin. And she was, no doubt.

As she walked, Waren started thinking again. About her brothers and Toris. The people who mattered most to her. Also, she was a bit nervous. Waren didn't know how they'd react if she just showed up out of the blue. She had been gone two and a half years and made no contact with them at all. Not even a messenger pigeon or a letter sent by horseback. But all throughout her time away, they never left her thoughts. But she was unaware that as she thought, she began talking to herself quietly. "What will they do... What if they've forgotten about the promise I made.." She began stressing, and she shook her head. Waren kept a calm look on her face, but it was also aparent that she was anxious. It was a way she had never felt before.
