At this moment we had other matters on our hand besides Golradir remembering that Tvalarish is not only his brother but also a dragon. "*gazes at the departing falcon and then at the package* have you got any idea who Illise is?" Gonfindl asks. "*shakes head* nope, not a clue, but anyway the second things are back in its place I can fly to Tel'Ruid and ask Copper or Brisid or maybe even pin a message upon their board." I respond as Shahagin and Fallana gaze at the pack too. "Alright we move out, since your lover here has a part of his memory back, who knows what else he might remember..." Fallana urges. "*looks at me* Isil, love, you still are interrested in an elf such as me?" "*smiles* of course I am silly, what makes you think that I'd turn away from you? Your brother needs medicine and that is all. If we reach Eldrihir maybe you can re-construct your entire past and then build up a new future." I say before kissing him tenderly. Gonfindl looks at Tvalarish who nods "my brother has a understandable and tolerant ladyfriend...I'm very thankfull for that *turns to Gonfindl* please don't look upon me as a rival, I'm glad I can call her sister-in-law. Personally, *peeks at Fallana* I'd prefer greenhaired ones." he says. gonfindl gazes at Fallana and then smiles "Shahagins sister, well she has green hair, but her brother has green eyes, they are exceptions to the rule of the wood elves. Maybe I can arrange something for you, but don't have too much hope, for now...she's quite the cool type." He responds. "*smiles* no thank you, this I have to do on my own I'm afraid, if then something's wrong it'll be my fault alone...but thanks for the advice" Tvalarish responds before hopping onto his dragon. Gonfindl joins Golradir and together we all leave the campsite. I'm still worried about the note. Wondering who Illisse is and why I have to look for her I hardly notice how the dragon caravane turns east and as I awake from wondering I notice that Zhepphyr and the others are now flying over green fields. "*looks down* uh where the heck are we?" "*laughs* I'm trying to say that for the passed 10 minutes, Tvalarish is now guiding us, he says that the town is not far anymore." Gonfindl notices. "*looks at the distance* but we're still in the mountains, aren't we? Then what are those green fields doing here?" "*flies closer* it is a hidden valley, only reachable by dragon or trough a secret pass but so far this place has been isolated. There are books in our library that mention the founding of Eldrihir by the half-elf Elrohir, but so far, none of the other parchments mention that name, I believe it is merely a legend." Tvalarish responds. "*points* there it is! the village..." he adds after another hour of flying. Nervous about what is going to happen next I follow the others down as they begin to land. I look around and notice that the houses are built by someone with a fine nose for architecture since every house seems to be a piece of art. Some have sculpted statues near their entrances, showing what craftsman lives there. Tvalarish however smiles and says "don't be afraid, do come to the masterhouse, where our noble elder lives." With a little heart the caravane of 250 elves follow Tvalarish as he marches trough the town straight towards the masterhouse, which seemed to be sculptd out of solid rocks, moving its way up the mountain behind it. "*looks at the elves* a small delegation will do for the moment, Shahagin? if you please?" Tvalarish asks while taking a small bow. Shahagin follows him along with us and Fallana decides to wait outside along with the others. With great confidence Tvalarish leads us trough the maze of corridors and halls while Golradir looks around trying to remember more of his past and the house. "*shakes head* I've been here before...but why? I remember that this corridor leads to a nursery..." Golradir whispers as he passes a corridor. "*freezes* brother? I'm home am I not? I remember that you and me were running trough these halls, you slipped *points* over here, and fell with your head upon, a table which stood over here." Yet before Tvalarish could answer a door opens and a rather old elf sprints out of the room as fast as her old legs can carry her "*spreads arms* my son, oh my could this be?" she says with a raspy voice. "Tvalarish...you have, found your missing brother?" "*nods* yes mother, but, he hasn't got his memory back yet...only bits and pieces..." At that moment Golradir falls upon his knees and begins to cry, cry as I never have seen him doing before. "*wraps arms around his head* my boy, it is alright...you are back, that is the main thing...oh I were so worried, the night you dissapeared..." the old lady whispers as he releases Golradir. "*stands up and wipes tears away* mother...now I can remember *snifs* I'm not alone...*points at us* these are my friends Gonfindl and Shahagin, plus Isilheledh my love...and Gonfindls love too. *blows nose* we share the same girl, but she doesn't mind" "*looks at us and then smiles* I'm anxious to hear more, come...yes dear I'm the elder of this town, the years of fear for my youngest son has marked my face but, I thank you for taking care of him." "*looks surprised* you can read my mind?" I ask while following them. "*shakes head* no my dear but your eyes are full of questions. but I'm curious too, but first of all some introduction, for Tvalarish has forgotten that, I'm Oleria, their mother, and...*points at an elder man sitting in a chair sleeping* this is their father Landil." I look at Golradir who is still crying silent tears and I begin to feel a little uncomfortable. After all it were his homecoming, and we were about to invade a rather quiet town. As Landil wakes up Tvalarish smiles and then steps aside as the old elf sees Golradir too. "Oh goodness, guess who finally decides to come home *winks* I bet your mind is still a scrambled egg, but that doesn't matter, my son, welcome home. We began to fear that Tvalarish would never return either..." he says before embracing his son. Gonfindl and I gaze at Shahagin who's rather uncomfortable too. "*looks at us* so and who might you be?" the old elf asks and again we introduce ourselves. It is then Golradir who takes the word to our surprise, explaining his parents who we are and why we had left our home. As the sun begins to set Landil stands up and looks at his wife "*you had no choice that is sure, I'm quite familiar with that disease, it is typical a man's illness, but when the time comes, they always blame other kinds for it. As far as I know, this valley is big enough, and a bakery is always welcome...lord Shahagin, tell your people that they are welcome here, our own town counts 589 elfs, children included, so 250 more, ain't such a big number. And as for the dragons, there are plenty of caves and good spots in the mountains, feel free to install yourselves." by these words he stands up and along with Oleria he goes to the entrance of the house where the others are waiting. "Be welcome elfs of the Hidden Forest, considder this town your new home..." Oleria speaks and the weary travellers sigh relieved. I look at Golradir and then at Gonfindl who both begin to smile "*winks* I do think I can use some male attention here." I whisper. Yet before we can retreat, the local townfolk appear and begin to set up everything to party. A bit surprised our friend aid them and later while the sun has dissapeared behind the mountains, we feast around a huge bonfire. Tvalarish was talking to Shahagin who only smiled and lifted his shoulders before walking away. "*sighes* what were that all about?" I ask "*sits down* ow, he asked my permission to courtship my sister, but I told him that she had to decide this on her own." Shahagin responds while serving both elder elfs a cup of the finest wine. I look at Fallana who now is talking to Tvalarish and deep in my heart I hope that all would turn out well. I then look at the houses and then sigh relieved that we have found a new home, and with it perhapse some new hope too. hope for the future as I know that something new is growing inside of me, without both my lovers know it.
