According to Naiem we were only one day out from our destination within the Moors as I could verify by the map I had copied during our journey. To be honest the map had been so well made I doubt we would have been able to have not made the same time even with the aid of Naiem. I will admit I am always excited by the tasks that are set before me and this one a quest to seek an Amulet of Light would be no exception.
I had to admit there was much we still did not know but I felt confident that we would find out and I was willing to allow Donavan and Arrol to step up and aid us but I had also prepared to aid them as well for in common terms I would have been called a former Lieutenant but my time in the armed forces of the Elves had come to an end years in the past. I had only been a mere warrior before I had left Evermeet when I had been first trained in the sword and bow the weapons of our people. I knew even than that my path might head to the path of war but my spirit was unsettled. Perhaps it was in my blood as it was within many of the blessed and select few born with a tinge of the light or the dark within them. I had learned at an early age of the many Sun Elves who had made unforgivable mistakes and even those who had helped to ensure the protection of Evermeet.
Sadly I had also learned that it was not perfect and Caspian found it difficult to walk the path of the light but would not instead embrace the darkness but what he could and would do was live by the code perhaps he placed more value that “Love conquers all” but at least Caspian truly loves and if there is a saving grace that truly created me than did not let the hope and the love for others did than it was that. Perhaps one day the splintering of our psyche will right itself now that we are free of Savaras and on our journey to find the truth and our own path of redemption will be able to lead us to Glory.
That night passes without further fanfare or great detail but I excited that my proud Associates were still eager and prepared to face anything that the darkness had to throw at us and seemed truly ready to accept “Death before dishonor” indeed it was a night to rest well and dream of Caspia and even Hollyella who I realized that I loved and wished to one day redeem her as well and make her my wife if the future played out as I hoped and prayed to Hanali Celanil that it might.
