*He attempted a smile for her. And he also failed.*

It's not that. Zeka did well. It doesn't matter.

*He blinked softly, he knew not what had come over him. Shakeing his head to clear it he prowled outside and sank against a wooden beam, there acting as a teathering post for the horses and a training aid for getting people over height fears. The Tarlins head pounded, he allowed it to droop on to his knees, where it remained for a short while. the pounding off hooves brought him back to himself slightly, and he searched for the source. A messenger rode up, wearing the colours of his family. He jumped to his feet and half smiled when he recognised the messesnger.*

So Jack, you finally made messenger?

**Ay, but twas not worth it, n i'll be blowed if I wish to wear this mantle now m'lord. Old Thorin is dead, sir, damn elves *He spat* attacked int night. I was jus' 'bout to leave as me furst task of j'nior messenger when the was attacked. I ran to the bushes, n I 'oped, I truely did 'ope sir, that them of your blood survived. I went back, o'course n the only person left alive was your pa sir, n him only jus'. He sed I wuz t'come n tell ya sir, n deliver you this letter, sir.

*Legolas took the letter.*

Well you have told me Jack, and you have delivered the letter safely into my hands. Your job is over, go and rest. you are free from working for my family now, indeed, it would seem that the livery of my family is unsafe any more.

*He watched his childhood friend leave, and began to read the letter. He felt now that his day could not get any worse.*

My dear boy...

*It read*

How glad was I to hear, in my old age, that you had become a Nightstar. Yes. I know. I had some one investigate into your wellbeing, as we never hear from you. you mother worries so. You sister has left home, in the hopes of finding some one to train her as a fighter, she shows yor skill with a bow, and her spear is even better. She should arrive shortly.
Now, onto graver matter. I have herd that there are Elves prowling arround in large numbers in the vacinity, too many for our small guard. I fear that they will reach us before any aid can. If the worst happens you are head our our family, and you sister, although she is fearce, needs to be watched over, checked on from time to time.
You mother says that she loves you, but I must go! they are here!!

you ever loveing father.

*He re read the letter, and turned in circles, as though looking for some one. A strangled cry left him as he fell to his knees, shakeing. He had one glimmier of hope. Katrina, his sister, was live. Ash padded over, nudged him, them padded off to Lily, calling loudly, distressed butthe behavior of his owner.*
