I sat there motionless for at least twenty minutes trying to gather myself at what just happened. The frustration and anger that flooded through my body had just started to subside. I knew I could never please my father the way I ruled while he was away, but I did not expect his return to be so sudden. What made him return so and why?

Merrick slowly started to moan “Lord, wha.. who was that?”

“You stupid little troll!” I shouted “I should rip your slimy little green head from that body it perches on and give it to the worms that make up my bed!”

“Forgive me my lord, I was only trying to protect you” Merrick murmured.

“I don’t need your protection you filth, you are to do ONLY as I ask now get on your horse and find us a place to rest” I demanded.

As I took another moment to gather my self , a presence I had not felt for a long time arose behind me. I quickly cast a spell to partly cloak my form, but not my presence for after what had just conspired I would not be caught off guard again. I slowly turned toward the direction of the presence I was feeling and chanted” Worlo asheed vison appera.” My spells had prepared me this time and produce a vision of Aileanne.

After a few minutes had passed Aileanne arrived and I motioned her toward me. “Aileanne come with me for it has been a long time since we have spoken and we do indeed have a lot to talk about. Please fill me in with your findings from your journey.” I conjured up a horse for her to ride, we mounted and began to look for a safer place to talk with one another. As we began riding I thought to myself "how long had she been there and what had she seen." This began to anger me, but I held this anger back, turned toward her with a grin and whispered in my old toung "I am pleased to see you Aileanne. I hope it is good news you bring me" and with that I stuck my heels into the side of my horse causing it to rear then it took of as if it were floating on a cloud then I let out an evil laughter and began riding with Aileanne close behind.
