[Dwarin Thunderhammer]

Dwarin stood up and surveyed the scene. The injured were being tended to, and everything was being prepared for the struggle ahead of them. After all the events Dwarinneeded some time alone. As he wandered in the forest he heard the unmistakeable sound of hoofbeats. The dwarfs stomach dropped. Dwarin did not like the prospect of a Dunedling scount finding about their little party. Dwarin readied his ax once more to to take down another man, but he did not need it. Much to his great surprise and delight he recognized the horse as telefax, kalohern's horse. The horse immediately caught sight of the not-so-camoflauged dwarf. "Glad to see you've come back. Where did you go any ways?" Telefax didn't answer. "Well whatever the case we've got job for you" Dwarin said as he started walking back to camp.

Dwarin returned to camp the horse following faithfully. Dwarin cleared his throat, "I have something here that might interest some of you, not in the least kalohern." The boy looked up and gave a cry of joy. Kalohern ran and flung his arms around the neck of his horse. Telefax gave a soft neigh at his master as kalohern jumped on his back and proceeded to take a "victory lap" around the encampment. The party looked on with great delight as they boy and his horse were reunited. It was somewhat bittersweet since the young warrior knew tat his horse was to go on a mission that he would not be allowed to go on.

Thenamir brought Arenia out to the horse, and retrieved a pack off the horse back and then began investigating its contents. He took a moment to give her the message he had written for her to deliver. Kalohern looked like he was dying inside but he bore and hid it well. He brought Telefax to Arenia and introduced the two. He produced two horse treats and handed them to Arenia who in turn held them out palm up the horse. Telefax sniffed the treats and then ate them with relish. Arenia smiled when the horse gave her a small nudge in thanks. Willingly the young warrior helped the young girl get up on the back of the mighty horse. Kalohern then went around to the front of Telefax and put his forehead against the horse. He spoke soft and low to his beloved steed. The horse seemingly understood everything he was saying. Many riders understood the bond between the boy and his companion. For Telefax was truly a companion, not just an animal. He understood the boy and protected him. When the boy had finished he spoke a command and at that the horse neighed loudly and stamped his hoof. The resounding thunder was ringing in their ears as the horse galloped off to an uncertain fate. Kalohern wiped the tears from his eyes and squared his shoulders. Thenamir stepped up to the young man and clapped his hand on his shoulder. He spoke a few inaudible words as they watched the dust rise from the ground in the wake of the great horse.

Dwarin turned away from the scene and went to seek Haleth. He found her in her tent preparing for the journey ahead. He stepped into her tent and found her looking at a small object. Which she quickly hid underneath her armor. "What are you doing here?!" She said angrily as she turned to face him. "I-I-Um- Just came to thank you for returning Mim." He stammered. Dwarin realized that the red in her face was not from anger. She hastily wiped the tears from her eyes. "You're welcome. Now go!" She said. Dwarin could tell that she was working to keep the angry tone in her voice. "I err" the dwarf started, but he was cut off by Thenamir standing next to gurthden calling the camp to attention.
