Galadster listened to the ent

Well of course, but just imagine what people would think, and Easterling travelling with an elf and an ent, and when they ask how me and glirdingo met, i will just calmly say, "oh he shot me in the forest randomly one time". But it is another adventure for me to travel, i never imagined leaving Rhun and even crossing the mountains...

Galadster looked up as Glirdingo and Kafkalina were staring at him

But now is not the time to be pondering thoughts! its suppose to be a happy occasion! so i won't argue about who shot who, lets enjoy ourselves and be merry!

"But now is not the time to be pondering thoughts! its suppose to be a happy occasion! so i won't argue about who shot who, lets enjoy ourselves and be merry!"

Glirdingo looked at Galadster ponderingly. Then he looked back at Kafkalina. "Could I have a private word with you, over here?" he asked her then looked back at Galadster. "We'll just be a moment."

He walked a little ways a way from Galadster. "My dear Entwife, I understand your mistrust of him. However, I think he's quite different from other Easterlings. He seems peacful, quite the contrary for his kind. I say we give him a chance. Who knows, he could help us out of troubles which we might not be able to get out of ourselves. So what do you say my friend?"

“We’ll see the outcome, although I can’t see the reason why these dwarves would be on the lead here” He had nodded towards the dwarves and then smiled to the others. “We may almost walk across the river, but these guys must swim. Nice to see you little folk to do your best!” With a big grin he had walked into the River and started crossing it. (Nogrod #15, modified)

How long it was from those days? And the other dwarf had won! The news struck Novgorod like a hammer. This just can’t be! I was so close! And I must have been in the lead! I just stopped for an hour at those creepy Barrow Downs... Then he became to think about it.

No, it’s not possible. I have wandered only a few miles the day I left Bree as I ran the whole day after getting free from the mound and got here. So I must have been lying in the Barrow for a whole day! Some shortcut that was!

Novgorod was swallowing his pride with the revelation. He had been stupid not paying heed to the inn-keeper’s advice and with that he had lost everything. Cursed be my stubborness...

One dwarf stole the trophy and the other stole my heart! ... Cut it, right there! Don’t get overwhelmed by the things! She wished you no good and it was good we did not trek together for any longer. Carefully Novgorod took a sideways look at Narleah who was sitting some yards away from him. She surely had shaken Novgorod’s balance. Both of the dwarves had.

Before this challenge he had thought of the dwarves as being stupid, boring and greedy. Now one of them had beaten him in a fair competition and the other one had proven to be more interesting than he would have allowed to himself. Queer folk...

There was a lot of hassle and joining together after Eoln had departed with Berrick. Narleah seemed to be sitting alone. Slowly Novgorod stood up from the bench and took the few steps to reach her. Whatever, otherwise I’d be wandering home alone anyhow...

“Hi, Narleah! You still haven’t told me the origins of the song I sang you days ago. If you have no company home, come with me, you’ll have plenty of days to remember it, and maybe we could find other songs and stories to share?”

Kafkalina relaxed a bit and decided to explain alittle of herself, and state her decision, now that time had been given to backtrack it in her mind, where she favoured to keep a couple of them in check at one time.

" Glirdingo, I do not ill favour any creature for where they come from, but after many years of having to fight with men, and trying to exchange thoughts with them, but only being answered with fire and closed minds, I have grown as my bark is thick, with mistrust. The reason why I came to the call of this adventure is for the reason of a final plight for my trees and forest, to hopfully sway men's thoughts from my woods to that of the mineral riches they desire so much. On this adventure, though I met others few, I did learn that I could sway my forest, but not the nature of others forever. Also, it is beings akin to young Galadster whom I can now see that I am not so far from. I too am a different branch of my kind, I never went to make gardens, or east for that matter, or was put into a lovely song. Sorry if I am hard to understand my friend, my years are too long for my words sometimes. I guess what I mean to say is, I've never walked the same earth for too long with other ents. As for my decision, I am not too hasty, nor do I wait as long as an oak to make a decision. I presume that is why my leaves fall still green... Anyways, before I fade into too many thoughts, I agree with your decision. It will not be easy to walk no longer solitary, but possibly meeting other ents is far more uneasy than any journey with you both shall be. Besides, it shall be pleasant to learn more of what has been happening with the other half of the world."

She ended her words with a bit of a relief and patted the top of her head to check a now old wound. It was still very much there, but small shoots had begun to grow in place, eventually, the mark would not show so much, or she hoped.
