Melcildir leaned on the wall silently in the corner of the room; head down and eyes closed. He looked very much asleep, but that was not so. His senses were alert and he was listening intently to the plans being made.
But there was a fog slowly encompassing him as he heard the others talk about the battle plans. A slow cold spread throughout his entire body. He felt a fear of uncertainty nagging at him, and deep in his heart, he had a feeling that he was to die soon.
Fighting off thoughts of dispair, he rejoined the others and stood beside Lofinnaes. As Bordarigorn left, Lofinnaes spoke a bit to him and he nodded in response as the other Elf went outside.
He looked around and spotted Erdamineon talking to Durelin. He saw something in Erdamineon. A secret knowing flashed in his eyes. Melcildir walked over to him and waited for the two to finish talking before he asked the other Elf a question he desperately wanted an answer to.
"You can see things, can't you?" Melcildir asked quietly. "You can see into the mind and heart, unless I am mistaken. Can you answer a question?"
Erdamineon looked at Melcildir for a moment. A strange silence hung in the air between them as Melcildir waited for a reply.
