[Shadow_Staar]

Alateriel galloped down the road that led to the mysterious woods of Lorien. She spoke to her horse in a whisper urging him forward. He flew like the wind, kicking up dirt behind him. Alateriel only thought of getting to Lorien in time to protect the sacred forest. Zephyros took a sharp turn and thundered into the woods.
"HALT!" A voice called from ahead. Ala had been so deep in thot that she forgot about the gaurds.
"State you name and purpose in Her Graces Woods."
"My name is Alateriel Darkstar, daughter of Zellion. My purpose is to protect this wood, along with the rest of those who are to come." She sat proud atop her horse, waiting for the gaurds to give her permission to enter.
"Alright, Daughter of Zellion, you may enter." She nodded and galloped past. She soon arrived, and looked around for others who mite be there to protect Lorien. She saw none, and was grateful for that. She need time to come up with a stratagy, and a good one. She handed Zephyros over to a stable-hand, and went to look for a quiet tree to rest her wery body and mind, for tonite she would not sleep, eat, drink, but she would meditate, call her power to her, release her mind into the dark powers of her ancestors before her.
