After Glorfindel lays out the partnerships for the search party, the Cheysuli warriors Ian and Kellin, along with their lir, Tasha and Sima the mountain cats, begin their search of the forests of Lindon in search of the missing Arines.

'Any luck yet, Tasha?'

Poor little lad... He seems so sad inside... Reminds me of the time when my brother would often try to escape his own problems ( Read more... )

What she said....

Tasha and I had been running through the strange forest for several days now. We stopped to rest now and then, and every now and then I would slay a deer or some rabbits to feed myself and my lir. If she was to keep up her strength, she would need to eat regularly ( Read more... )

We had not seen harana in days. Tasha was pacing nervously; the strangers seemed to decrease in number. In her eyes this was not a good sign.
