Thomas wasn't sure how to break the truth to Mayonette. In a way he felt guilty for the lives he unknowingly caused to end. "Mayonette, my sword never pierced the skin of an innocent person. In a way I could be blamed for the death of many fathers and sons. Back in Gondor I was under the command of Zach, Zach is not the most honest of people. Zach had ordered me to follow an army that supposibly was going to kill the king. My orders were to follow them and alert Zach of where the army was camping. What I didn't know was that the so called army was actually a family of farmers. I had a feeling something wasn't right but Zach told me the "farmer" look was just a disguise."

Thomas regretted the decisions he made while he was in Gondor. Thomas still had more to tell Mayonette but wasn't sure how to explain it to her. "Mayonette, you know I would never lie to you. Everything I do in life is for you. I had no choice but to return to Rohan. Rumors had it that Zach was going to blame the death of 20 innocent men on me. Of course the king didn't believe him and instead banished Zach from the realm of Gondor. If he returned it would be his life." He felt an easiness inside his heart. He held no more secrets from Mayonette. She now knew everything about Thomas.

Mayonette stopped him and hugged him gently. She knew Thomas and she knew his heart. She felt so guilty for wondering, but she had no idea what he had done in Gondor.

"I am sorry for what you thought you had to do for me. You are the love of my life and I do not care what you have done. If innocents fell because you were following what you believed to be were orders from the King, then that is just an unfortunate accident. I am sorry for wondering if you had killed innocents. I should have believed in what my heart told me and it told me that you would never hurt someone willingly. That is why I love you so," she whispered softly.

"No!" said Garnae roughly. "Begging your pardon, Mayonette, but I don't trust him. Then again I don't trust Zach either. How do we go on? There is still a possibility that Thomas is working for Samuel right now. Imagine if he came back from Gondor on Sam's orders just to spy on you. I for one want proof that he won't stab us in our sleep." He looked at Thomas. The man looked trustworthy, but looks could be decieving.

Meanwhile the townspeople were approaching them. Harsh words and harsh actions, he thought. Not good. How can I protect Cordelia? She was unaware of the damage that shot caused, alas. So often doom is decided in the spur of the moment. A wild spirit can be a dangerous thing.

Cordelia Harrison · 08-18-2006, 07:39 AM

Cordelia gasped at what he said. How could he just believe someone that had tried to set them on fire?

"Garnae, I know Thomas. He would never do anything willingly. Why are you believing the words of man that tried to kill us all?" She asked him, clutching desperately to his arm. She wasn't sure she could stand on her own.

Her eyes looked up at the villagers that were finishing puting out the fire. She hoped that they would allow her to live her life in peace. She hadn't killed the man. She had only been trying to defend her friends.

Crystal Heart · 08-18-2006, 07:53 AM

Mayonette's eyes flashed at Garnae. He knew nothing of her Thomas! How could he sit there and believe that man?! The thought enraged her soul.

"I believe him and that is all that matters," she spat out, glaring at him. She turned to Thomas and gave his had a squeeze.

The villagers came closer to where Zach lay upon the ground. A man of about thirty five years of age came forward, eyeing the wounded man wearily. He looked up at them all.

"We have put out the fire. Now tell us what is that man doing on the ground?" He asked them, his eyes narrowing. Mayonette came forward, not waiting for the General to even make a move.

"That man caused this fire. I took him down with my arrow. He tried to kill us," Mayonette informed. The man eyed her carefully.

"So that is his crime? He started this fire?" He asked her, suspicion lined his voice. Mayonette nodded. The man came forward to inspect Zach's face. He snorted.

"You finally caught this bastard? You are a fine with a bow and arrow, milady. He's been destroying homes all through our village, but none could shoot him down!" The man chuckled, shaking his head in amusement. Mayonette smiled.

"It wasn't only my arrow. It was my dear friend Cordelia's arrow that caused him to fall," Mayonette informed him. She pointed over at Cordelia, who nodded weakly. The man turned to her and smiled.

"Then we are in your debt Miss Cordelia. He is wanted for many things in our village. We will take him off your hands for you," he replied. He motioned for a couple of men to bind him and they hoisted him over a horse. The villages left them slowly.

"Thank you. We must be going. Our journey is long," Mayonette told the man. He nodded his head.

"I understand. If any of you ever need anything just come back to my house at any time. My name is Andrew and I would be honored," he offered before leaving with the rest of the villagers.

Léoflic was shocked. "I really didn't expect things to go that smoothly!" he whipsered to Elfride and Edhener. "But that was one of the many obstacles that we're going to be forced to cross on this journey. I have a feeling that there's more to this than is being let on."

Then he fell silent, thinking about Zach. "That man... he looks so familiar. Where have I seen him?" he pondered this ever since the men had first attacked them. "They were all familiar. But where have I seen them? I know I've seen them. But where?"

Dimturiel · 08-19-2006, 05:09 AM

Edhener knew Leoflic was more than right. They had managed to get away from the villagers, but that was not something to be too relieved about. It was quite likely that what awaited them further on their journey would be ten times much worse.

"Worse than being trapped amid the flames with little hope of escaping?" a voice inside his head asked, but Edhener dismissed the question. He could not help feeling ashamed for his moments of petrifying panic back in the burning field. The others had kept their presence of mind, more or less, and that seemed harder for him to bear. No one had lost their heads as he had done. Why had it had to happen exactly to him?

Edhener shook his head vehemently. He should not think that way. And anyway, he had other things to worry about than one fleeting moment of panic, especially one which had been witnessed by no one. He turned to Mayonette and Hama, a questioning look on his face.

"It seems that we have passed our first test." he said."But what now? Should we not be moving on?"
