The Road to Erebor RPG

[astarielle]

Astarielle wet and cold, stood. The avalanche had not dampened her spirits. But it was then that she saw Burzdol and Ani Dao stranded on the other side. She felt sorrow for her companions, if only there was a way to get them accross.

Astarielle smiled as she thought of one of her childhood games she used to play with Tolea and Halkaruthwen. Frequently, on a narrow part of the Forest River in Mirkwood, they used to find ways of getting accross without getting there feet wet or using rope. Tolea's father had befriended a large bird of prey named Arilmen, he had taught Tolea to summon him. They would string together their cloaks to form a sort of chair and Arilmen would ferry them accross the river. He only came if called by his true name. Astarielle pondered deep in thought of this name,

"Araneldaranilmen, amin yala lle!"
"King of the stars king of the sky, I summon you"
