Winter Is Coming

[Veana]

Lately has been some commotion along the border between Gondor and Rohan. Several trade-caravan from both countries were assailed and all their members were killed during the fights. Rohan suspects the people of Gondor have something to do with kiling their caravans, Gondor on the other hand thinks the same of Rohan. The soldiers Rohan and Gondor have sent to guards the border all disappeared. The two countries grow more and more suspicious of each other and it won't be long before the discontent and bitterness take over and bring about a full-scale war.

To prevent a war from happening both countries have sent two people of each country to a meeting at a hidden location in Gondor. Their task is to find out what or who has been causing the problems at their borders. Will they succeed? Or will the irritation between the two people be too great to overcome, and will they fail?

Ooc: We begin at the meeting.

Ic: Ellara was one of two emissaries of Gondor and she was on her way to the location where their meeting was about to take place. Her long brown hair was blown about her face. It was nearly winter and the temperature was already drastically dropping. A strong wind ruled the open plains of Gondor. Ellara was lost in thought when she noticed that another person was riding close behind her.

Not far off, on the border of Gondor, the wind swept through the deep pits dug into the ground, howling and swirling as they slapped along the walls of the tunnels. A small figure hurried through the tunnels, cringing and yelping every time he was forced into the light. He was wrapped in cloth and covered in sweat, desperatly trying to find his master.

Minutes later, he would crawl into the cave where his Master waited. He would report that the 'occurences' had been executed as planned, and that their forces were far enough to not be noticed, but close enough to close in on the negotiatiators. Then he would be killed.

And his master would look down at his corpse, knowing that his time was drawing near.

OOC: Norph, this rpg is somewhat different. If you are in another place you make a thread with the rpg's name where your character is. For you that is in Rivendell.

[Norph]

OK

Sorry

By the way...where is everyone?

[Veana]

OOC: I think we're all in gondor. And if you read my first in this post you kow where we're going and prbably what to post. So please Hard and Norph come here

[Hardencairnom]

ooc: I'm somewhere in Minas Tirith.

[Veana]

Ooc: Why? You were sent to where I am.

[Logan]

Loki crawled through the cracks of the ground where the earth had been shattered by an earthquake, hiding from the sun. He was digging his way through the gravel like a peasent, lowly and useless. He was humiliated. But it didn't matter. If he could get to the meeting of the two kingdoms, then his work would be nigh complete...

The meeting began in an hour. He had that long.
ooc: muhahahahahahaha!

[Norph]

Tellyn burst onto the plains of Gondor. He quickly pulled on the reins and the horse skidded to a halt.

Tellyn looked up and the glaring sun, his hood shadowed his face and also kept his face cool. Tellyn pulled open a map and after looking at it for a few moments, placed it in a small bag and sped off again

[Veana]

OOC: Norph and Hard you are the two emissaries from Rohan. I'll find something for the second one from Gondor.

Ellara turned around to see who was coming up behind her. It was a man on a horse, riding very fast. His face was unfamiliar to Ellara. He was either on of the two emissaries from Rohan or a someone who was just passing by. The first option was the most probable. Not many people lived here, in the Nothern parts of Gondor, especially not now autumn was making way for a cold winter.

Ellara decided to wait until the man had reached her. It would be unfriendly to turn her back on him and go on pretending she hadn't noticed him. Besides it would be a bad start, when the meeting hadn't even begun yet. When the man was close enough Ellara raised her hand as a sign for 'hello'.

[Norph]

Telly lifted his hand slightly in return and rode over, he slowed down as he came upon Ellara

"What brings you here?" He asked, he looked away trying to hide his face

[Veana]

"I'm going to a meeting closeby." Ellara answered the man. She looked over him. His build suggested that he was quite young. And he had an elven bow over his shoulder. He himself wasn't an elf so his home could be with the elves or it was just a gift from them. There was not a great deal she could tell by looking at him for he hid most of his face. "I think we're headed the same way. We can ride the last mile together if you like."

[Norph]

Tellyn pulled back his hood

"Thats good" He whispered to himself "Sure" He replied, smiling.

His horse backed off a little as if it was about to race off

"What exactly happened between Gonder and Rohan?" He asked as the horse began to move forward

[Hardencairnom]

"A great deal," a man said, close by. He was riding a wolf. "Pardon me for my... interruption. I believe you must be heading upwards."

[Norph]

"That helps a lot" Tellyn whispered to himself again as he pulled his hood back over his head

"No" He said speaking up "We're going that way" He finished, with a hint of sarcasm, pointed straight ahead
