A little further into the forest Bali and Astarielle came to a stream. They rested.

"How much longer are we going to pend trying to find Yanithe?" asked Bali.

"As long as it takes. Although I am accustomed to travelling alone I will not loose a member of my company" replied Astarielle.

The sun was reaching the midpoint of her long journey accross the sky. Long shadows were cast accross the stream. Looking around Bali caught sight of a strange shadow that did not look atall like a tree or any such thing.

"Hey! Elf, what is that?" said Bali urgently.

Disturbed from her thought Astarielle looked up and replied, "I do not know but I will go and see."

They walked, occasionally jumping over roots, towards were Astarielle thought the shadow was coming from though it was hard to see. They followed the steam and went down a steep muddy bank to the water's edge.

"It's Yanithe!"cried Bali. Ignoring the fact that he could not swim ran into the water. Swift as a bird Astarielle ran in and grabbed Bali form behind.

"I don't know about you but I do not wish to loose another of our company." said Astarielle gazing deep into his eyes. She set him down on the bank and hastened into the fast flowing stream. The stream was deepeer than it looked from the bank. She swam as fast as she could over to Yanithe. Taking hold of her carefully lifted her head onto her shoulder and swam back to shore.

"She is still alive, barely. Thankfully she lay with her face out of the water." said Astarielle calmly.

"Do something elf! Quickly!" yelled Bali running quickly over.

"Patience is a virtue master dwarf, come, give her space."

Bali kneeled down beside Yanithe and smoothed the hair away form her face. She lay pale and tranquil as if in a dream.

"Anim sintar thaliolle, lye coia nalaquel"

"I know your strength, come back to us"

As soon as Astarielle said this, Yanithe coughed and spluttered. Bali yelled in delight and embraced Yanithe then Astarielle saying,

"Thankyou Astarielle, I will never speak ill of an elf again!"

Astarielle did not know whether to believe Bali but smiled nevertheless.
