As the two women went down to the stream, Thogan went to the fire. He sat there looking into the fire. All his adult life he had been searching for the right one for him. Only he had been searching in the wrong places. But then it would not have mattered even if he had. She was still bound to the shell of the Elf that was once her husband and now an Orc Leader. He did not fully understand how such a thing could have happen, how an Elf cold be transforemed into one of those foul creatures. But to lose someone like that and become your bitter enemy. He somewhat understood why she might not want to try again. Afraid that it would happen again or lose that person. He cursed his luck for falling for one that was unobtainable. He shook his head. He had to push these thoughts out of his mind and concentrate on what they were doing. Yes that was that he had to do, he thought. It was foolish of him to try and think of finding the woman of his dreams when the fate of the known world was at hand.<br/><br/>Timberlane watched Throgan and shook his head and then looked to Lotharn . This was going to be a long and dangerous task and already he could tell that there might be misfortune in the future and possibly more then that. But there ws nothing he could do but keep watch and help where he could. These type of matters was something beyond what a wizard could control. Power more potent then any magic he could summon. When Pegawen returned alone and the look on her face it told him a lot. "And where is Allasiel?" he asked her, "Even though it is thought that there not be any danger from the Orcs for now, there are other things out there that we need to be watchful for. Go get her."<br/><br/>Lotharn took Pegawen by the arm and headed off to get Allassiel. As he walked with her he said, "You can take one of the watches, but make it an early one so you get your sleep." He spotted Allassiel sitting her head in her hands and heard what sounded like crying. "You had best go to her."
