Subject: Athelas Author: Aryante [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:56:58 05/23/02 Thu She heard a shout and then the muffled sound of a chair creaking. Hurridly she entered the room and seeing Aragorn slumped in a chair, made her was across the floor to him. She knelt at the side of the chair and smiled into his aging face, she stroked the cut which Deollyn had made and the king flinched. Tending the wound Aryante was as gentle as she could be but Aragorn still had a look of pain on his face. He was silent even as she placed the butterfly stitches over the gash, Aryante finished and smiled again. "Better, Your Highness?" "Much, but why did the athelas not work? Am I failing as a king? Am I no longer worthy?" She looked sympathetically at him and then at the dead courtier. "No, Aragorn. It did not work not because you are no longer worthy but because your mind must be clear. You must be free from pain and be able to concentrate on the casualty. You were hurt physically and emotionally yourself and in my personal opinion you should go now. Take a walk to relax and then rest awhile. Go now" The king rose from the place where he sat, graciously thanked the healer and made his way out of the room. Aryante smiled at his back as he walked away. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
