[Amanaduial the archer]

Before they had parted, Aman had found a way of linking with Elenna, in much the same way as Thrakatburz kept forcing herself to, but in a gentler, more amiable way; it was also much easier for Aman, as Elenna hadnt got any barriers up, although she was embarrased at that, for it somehow seemed to be taking advantage. Elenna was fine with this, glad to be of service in any way that would help both her friend and their joint cause.
As Ala go up after the short break they had had, she turned to Aman and was surprised to find her seemingly talking to herself, with her eyes closed, pausing in between as if listening.
"How goes it my friend?..."Ah, I see....Hah, yes he is a great fighter isnt he?....Oh?...Hmmm, I see...why though?...No sorry, Im stuck for ideas as well...I cannot talk any longer, it is unfortunately too much of a strain...Im sorry....yes...good luck!"
She opened her eyes and jumped slightly, surprised when she saw Ala sitting so close, her hand on her knife. Ala backed away slightly anxiously. Realising who it was she smiled sheepishly and took her hand of the knife. Ala looked questioningly at her, inquiring with her eyes about the "conversation".
"Sorry my friend, I had a link with Elenna, but its gone now; too much of a strain too keep that up along with the defenses against...her." She paused then laughed. "Im sorry Ala, Ive just realised how ridiculous I must have looked!"
"Well, you said it Aman!"
"Ah! IM insulted at you Alatiriel!" They laughed together for a moment, but Ala still seemed anxious. She cannot let go of her past....that mush we have in common...
Aman was not brilliant at being emotional in this way at the best of times, but recently she had had so many doubts of her own that she felt stupid to be so totally at loss.
Getting up she pulled Ala up with her.
"Come on, we need to keep going! Well never get there if we go at this pace." Ala smiled faintly and Aman looked into her eyes.
"Everyone has their demons my friend...i pray you shall not have to face yours too soon as well..." She stepped away and mounted her horse, smiling at Fea, who was near her, also mounting. Even Fea is sad....I shall be glad when we can rid ourselves of this darkness!
"Come my friends, to Rivendell!" She set off, her horse cantering, Ala and Fea beside her.
