Sitinion and his father

It was late night and the two Lorien elves were about to camp for the night. Sitinion got off his horse and walked over to his father. "Should we camp here?" He asked the other male elf, who was still sitting on his horse. Sitinion didn't get an answer right away, he shrugged and asked again. "A-are we gong to set up a camp here?" he asked nervously. He, himself thought it was an excellent idea, since the dark was about to come. The sun had disappeared into the west and was not to be seen again until the next morning.

Alright, son." The elf said and got off his horse as well. He clapped it on the back, and smiled. He seemed pleased. The smile rolled over his face once more before he said more: "I'm glad we got a hold on these fine horses." Sitinion said as he knew what his father was thinking.

"Yes, so am I son." Siralil replied. ”V ery...foolish, don't you think? Siralil added and gave a short laugh.

"What is, father?" Sitinion asked in a low voice, when he didn't understand what his father meant. "To leave such excellent horses at that old stable...." Siralil said, looking on his son as he was disappointed that his son hadn't understood what he meant right away. Sitinion looked at his father again in confusion. Sirilil sighed.

"I mean, anyone could have taken them. " he added so that his son would understand his point properly.

Sitinion finally understood what his father had said. He swallowed as his eyes turned blank. "B-but....those...horses....Weren't they....r-reserved for Tanroth and the other elves?" He asked curiously, as well as he seemed anxious. He looked on the horse that stood next to him, breathing heavily. The raven black fur was smooth and silky. The eyes were big and dark.

"No, son." Siralil said in a stern voice. All of a sudden rage has passed over his face as lightening. His voice rose.

"The horses were there, son...Because no one anted them! Tanroth and the company should have picked them up for about two days ago, but they didn't. Why should such fine horses go to waste and rotten in that old stable? We saved those horses, son....By taking them with us, we saved them. Unluckily we only had the possibility to take two of 'em." Siralil said.

"..And for all we know, they could all be dead. Tanroth and the other elves.....So, why should we sit and wait in Lorien, for the Lady to announce that the elves didn't reach the ship? And that the ship left, even though it had places left. You have to learn to fight for what you want son!" Siralil added angrily. His face was slowly turning back to normal.

"We did the only right thing....." Siralil said and turned his back to his son. Sitinion shrugged and mumbled something.

"Remember that!" Siralil side as he started to walk towards the trees were they were going to set up their camp.

Sitinion was left alone in deep thought as the moon shone so brightly that it could be resembled with the sun.....
