Brown Stallion Pub

[Ara]

''I wish it as much as you do Tinaldor.but that sadly is not a wish they are to grant me..."Ara sighed and laid her head against Tinaldor's chest gently.Geran looked at her daughter and sent a thought out to her:"Ara your bearing two children,the sapphire pendant and the queenship of Nan Elmoth.you are also involved in a war of Middle Earth at this moment.you are also getting barely any sleep.that is part of why you collapsed.and the other part of it happens to worry me rather alot.why did you not tell us you were ill?" "because at the time of coming here I was well.I dont know when I started getting feverish but it was just before you came that I noticed I was not feeling up to my usual standards." "oh Ara what are we going to do with you..." "not a single clue there mother." Ara sent a wan smile at her mother then she fell asleep against Tinaldor's chest.Geran gently pulled Ara's cloak over her shoulders and said quietly:"the best thing we can do right now is to let her sleep and see how she feels when she wakes up next."

[Tinaldor]

"yes you are right Geran. she has had too much to deal with."
He picked her up, and taking her into one of the pubs rooms, he laid her down to sleep. closing the door, he sat outside, standing guard, and thinking on this new threat.

[Ara]

(this is Geran's point of view again)
Geran watched Tinaldor put Ara to bed and spoke softly:"Tinaldor when you take Ara back to Nan Elmoth please be sure to keep her well covered.there is something I must do so I will be away for awhile.please guard her well.the pendants will gift you two but they cannot save your lives without the other of the two."she opened the door quietly and checked that Ara was still asleep.her breathing was steady but it was off in rhythm and Geran moved silently across the room and touched a hand to Ara's forehead.she looked up with worry in her eyes at Tinaldor and said:"Tinaldor dont send for that healer again.in fact send word to me.he didn't do anything besides give her a potion that is not helping her fever."Ara stirred and Geran spoke softly:"go back to sleep dear."Ara drew in a deep breath and then fell back into sleep.Geran touched a hand to her forehead again and said:"I will stay by her side and see if I can get her to where she is feeling better by the time you leave..."

[Tinaldor]

"I will do as you say, you are her mother and know what is best for her. "
Tinaldor thought on what she had said.
"you say you need the other pendants?"

[Ara]

(still in Geran's viewpoint.)
Geran looked at her son-in-law and said:"no Tinaldor I do not need the pendants now but I will need your's and Ara's control over them to help me."she took a slightly damp cloth and laid it against Ara's forehead and took her hand in her own.she then looked up at Tinaldor and said:"Tinaldor I need you to take Ara's hand and let her know that you are also here in mind if she needs you while I go and get my bag from the main room."she looked at her daughter and noticed she was rather paler than normal.
Ara lay on a soft bed.she was wearing a white gown and the sapphire pendant was missing from above her heart.she sat up and walked to the window quietly.looking out she saw a beautiful city around her and she knew where she was.she opened the door and walked out into a white hall.a boy came up to her and said:"my mother you should not be up.you should be resting."Ara's eyes widened in shock and sudden recognition.Belegron had her eyes and Tinaldor's features along with sandy blonde hair.she spoke softly:"where is your sister Belegron?" "oh she is at the market with her friends.she wanted to pick some things up." "a-ah.where is your father?" "he is out probably training or starting wars." "oh.I must go." "I know mother you can't stay in this realm for too long otherwise you be stuck here." "give your sister my love."
"fare well Belegron,I love you my son." "fare well mother,and I love you too.I will see you sooner than you think mother."she walked towards the entrance and through the blinding light.

[Tinaldor]

Tinaldor saw her stir in her sleep, and walking up beside her, he took her hand in his, and spoke into her mind.
"Ara, come back to the light. I am tinaldor, your husband. come back to the light"
hoping that his thoughts reached her, he gazed at her, hoping for a slight movement that suggested she was wakign.

[Ara]

Ara woke.her eyes were closed but she knew who stood beside her.she spoke softly,her voice weak:"I was at Valinor in the halls of Mandos Tinaldor.I have a feeling I have yet again escaped death..."she opened her eyes and saw him standing beside the bed.she touched his hand gently and spoke again her voice gaining strength:"I saw our son as a little boy.he has your features and my eyes..."she smiled weakly.
Geran entered the room to see Ara awake and speaking to Tinaldor.she moved to her daughter's side and said:"ah and so you awaken.how did you get her back here Tinaldor?"
Ara laid a hand to her stomach and felt a new awarness there she knew it was her son and she felt him greet her politely.she let out a slight gasp and said:"Tinaldor I think you may have to try this."she looked at her mother who was smiling at her discovery and let out a sigh."you know everything before it happens don't you mother."Geran smiled and said:"yes another 'gift' of the sapphire pendant and the ruby as well."Ara rolled her eyes.

[Tinaldor]

Tinaldor slowly put his hand on her stomach. He felt the same thing. Laughing, he hugged Ara.
"well thats something i wasnt expecting. Im glad you are ok, my love. and i have no idea Geran, i just called her and she came."

[Ara]

Ara smiled wanly and slid herself to a sitting position atop the covers.she looked up at Tinaldor and touched his cheek with one hand and took his hand in hers with a tentative touch to let him know she was all right.
Geran touched Ara's forehead and said:"the worst is over now.you will need to get more sleep though.now is not the time to remain awake all night worrying about tactic's."she fixed Tinaldor with a stern look and said:"and you too sir.need to sleep as well or your wits will not be of much use in riding back and forth from various kingdoms which I know you have been Tinaldor."
Ara watched her mother and laid her head against the pillow's.

[Tinaldor]

Tinaldor smiled at the wiseness of his mother in law.
"You have hardly known me for a few weeks, yet you already know me too well. You are right, perhaps i will join my wife in taking the time to sleep. Thank you, geran."

[Ara]

Ara smiled and said calmly:"tis the nature of my mother to be wise love.where do you think I get it from?"she laughed quietly and Geran raised an eyebrow at that and said:"I would not call driving yourself to collapse wise daughter of mine but if it makes you happy call it what you will."she gently drew the lighter blanket over Ara and kissed her forehead and said:"if you two need me I will be in the main room."she left closing the door quietly behind her.
Ara looked at Tinaldor and gently drew him down to where he sat beside her.she spoke softly:"melin le Tinaldor Nenharma...and I always will love you.."she smiled again.

[Tinaldor]

"Melin le, Ara. and i always will as well."
Tinaldor held her in his gaze, and then kissed her softly.
"Now you must sleep, my wife. both you and our children need you to be strong. As well as me."
He laid her back, and smiled.
"you must sleep now dear. And i think i will join you."
He laid himself down beside her, and slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.

[maeglin]

*Walks into the Pub, seeing the two elves asleep, he quietly pours himself a large glass of mead, ignoring the bartender altogether. He sits in a corner near the fire and hides himself under his hood.*

[Tinaldor]

he slept silently, dreaming dreams of days to come and the battle ahead.
(Ooc: well done on reaching ur hundred nain!)
