Austin wrapped his arms around Ara and rubbed her back comfortingly, not knowing what to say, he kissed her forehead softly, still holding her close

"Procneus, rest assured, all decisions for troop actions will be finalized by the rulers of the kingdoms whom they serve." said Gandalf, "I believe it is settled now. We cannot stand divided any longer, the dawn on battle draws nearer with each passing day."

"Then it is decided, we are unified, and we have a hope. Let us not lose that hope, no matter what befalls us. Because I believe the Valar will not let us die.... were just too damn pretty."
A slight grin met his lips at his comment. His face turned serious, he carried on.
"I will expect all to advance military production and training as soon as possible, and I would ask that I keep in constant contact with the leaders of the different armies, so as to keep an overall picture of the situation. I would expect them enemy to attack all at once in one place, so therefore we will need constant scouts to watch for them, so they can notify, and our armies can be in the area as soon as possible to minimalise threat to the surrounding lands. Every Ruler will control his own troops, and I do not over rule them. However I shall lead strategising, and will also lead the troops from the front."
He brought his fist to his chest in a salute to all.
"Now unless there is other business to be spoken of, this council session is over."

Ara buried her head against Austin's shoulder.all the tears she'd kept hidden and held back falling now.she felt guilty for Tinaldor's dislike of Procneus.she felt guilty that she'd even failed to keep Nan Elmoth safe and she blamed herself for the needless raids on Rohan.she blamed herself for Daran and Eiriens deaths and Belgron being taken.she blamed herself for not seeing where Tinaldor's heart had been and her words to him as her shoulders shook from her sobs.

Austin rubbed her shoulder gently, holding her close, trying to comfort her but not knowing the words

Ara looked up at Tinaldor,her face tear streaked as her eyes met his,her's a cold gray."Tinaldor I carry your child.you can expect to see emotional changes and moments like this."her voice was hoarse."and you know full well I do blame myself and have full right to do so.I could have easily saved them."her eyes changed as they met his again and she drew herself to attention.wiping her cheeks but still holding onto Austin.she didn't trust herself well right now.

Tinaldor took her to one side, out of ear shot of the others.
"You are a experienced and highly skilled soldier, and ruler of Nan Elmoth. What has happened is in the past, and thinking on what could have been is pointless. Harden yourself, there will be plenty of time for tears after this fight."
Tinaldor grinned slightly.
"And only I am responsible for the trouble I cause. I lost an arm because of it, if you remember."
He waved the stump at her.
"Will you still fight despite your pregnancy? Or are you and Austin still to decide upon this?"

*BP looks stern next to her love* "I am glad that he has agreed to help us. Albeit unwillingly tis better than nothing. *Turns a concerned look towards Ara* "My dear friend, we need your aid but I do not expect you to fight if you are ill or too pregnant to be of any use. I expect you will do whatever you must. Austin, take care to not rush her into battle nor rush her too quickly home. Either one could cause much uproar betwixt the two of you."

Tinaldor took Bp's hand and kissed it.
"At least I know we stand a fighting chance now..."
He looked deep into her eyes, and kissed her softly.
"How did I ever survive without you my dear...?"

Ara's eyes lowered to her hands and she said quietly:"I will fight,but right now I need to consider and think and also regain control of the talents I let go while lingering in the palace at Nan Elmoth.you have my aid at any time.even if I am ill or too pregnant."she was shaking and slightly pale but she wasn't as unsteady on her feet as she had been."I do however have a request to ask of you two.be there at my daughters birth.you Tinaldor to be with Austin as support and a companion.and you Melkora to also be of support and friendship as well.please.it is all I ask of you."

Ara smiled and embraced Tinaldor."thank you."she said softly before taking Austin's hand in hers and embracing him.kissing his cheek softly."amin mela lle Austin Darkora."she felt the first beginnings of a vision coming abruptly."Sister!"the tall man was back,his green eyes glaring into hers."you cannot fight,you will not fight or I will kill the child." "No Gorek.you wont.you wont touch her." "want to bet on that." a white hot pain filled her and the vision ended,the pain however did not..Ara jerked and fell to her knees.curling up on her side to try and lessen the pain.it did not help."agh!"she felt the first beginnings of fear filling her.she remembered her miscarriages.

Ara's face had gone paler from the vision but it was white now.her breathing and pulse had gone uneven.the pain searing through her hadn't lessened.she knew she could easily lose the child now.she had to be careful.her eyes unfocused as they were caught Austin's and she writhed in his arms the pain grating at her and she whispered:"Get a healer..please.I dont want to lose this child as I have so many--"she bit back a moan of pain."-others.we still have time."
