Largos and Len
"I am sorry Len. I am just so frustrated about not knowing anything about this place. I have been dragged from a place I have come to know and love to be brought to a place where the fate of the entire place has been placed on my shoulders and to top it all off I am part of a race that was banished from this place because we almost destroyed it."
Len shifted from one foot to the other, dipping her beak slightly, "It is alright, Largos. I understand thing can be a little confusing for you for a while,"
"I know what we are all capable of, I see it every day. I was one of those people who did bad things just to survive so I have to ask myself why I was chosen to be a guardian, a saviour of you all. You say that I have an inner strength but what it I am too much of a coward to use it, what if I cannot do what you ask of me? I know that you love this land and do not want to see it destroyed as much as I do but I am only one person.... elf; what can I do?"
Len didnt have an answer for him. For now, he would have to find his own on that score. All she could do was give him as much confidence and be his friend until he figured it out. She gave a disturbed chirp, but kept her thoughts to herself, instead flying up the lead him towards Haven Tavern.
Len too heard the noises and quietly flew back over Largos's head to try to find the source of the noises. Her eyes were sharp, even in the evening light, but she could not find their stalker. Either way, she sent a message out via her mind to those that would listen, "This elf is under the protection of both the Spirit and Raster, leave him be,"
She felt curious minds withdraw from her presence and was satisfied that she had at least bought them enough time to get to Haven. She flew overhead again and resumed leading Largos towards the tri-river junction. Hopefully he hadn't noticed the others stalking them. She did not want him to be ill at ease this soon after being told he was fated to save the Vale.
Len almost flew into a glass paned window because she had been too worried about Largos keeping up a few moments later. She gave a strangled squawk and managed to stop herself from slamming into the window, arching up to perch precariously on the doorsill of Haven.
Largos looked up and said with a sigh,"Thank you. At least I don't have sleep in the forest tonight."
Then he moved forward and opened the door, allowing Len to flight through before him. She noted the lack of visitors, pointed out by the waiting innman, and gave a bird's shrug. It was not too unusual for Raster to be out of business, then again, he was a precious commodity in these woods so he was at least guaranteed some patronage.
She watched the exchange between Raster and Largos and smiled to herself. Largos seemed to be fitting in rather well, despite this being only the second being he had come across in a relatively different land. She flew up the stairs with him and chirped with approval at the room he chose.
Flying in, she watched as Largos flopped onto the bed. Len sat on the bedside table and began to preen herself. Dinner was served an hour later, with plenty of fresh worms for Len to feast on, and Largos was soon sound asleep.
Ravens didn't necessarily need to sleep at night, but after the preceeding day, she felt tired enough and safe enough in Haven, that she too was soon in dreamland along side Largos. Tomorrow would be a hectic day, and she would rather be prepared then caught off guard.
