It was a time of silence as the man woke within the chambers of the knights tower. Erickson had fallen to the dream world as the winds had whipped about the part of the tower he had been working upon the only place he could find solice at these times so it seemed. The duties of a knight were never ending and here where no other soul dared stay he had found a much needed peace. The worries of the world having passed for the time he spent here. The winds had grown cold with the night and a strange storm blew in from the north upon that summers night. Erickson woke suddenly to the sound of foot steps behind him rolling swiftly to his knee his hand instictively moved for the sword lashed at his side. Hawk like eyes of hazel hue strained to perice the darkeness as those words played from a unknown foe. " Your life is mine to spend Guardian of the free." It was a title he had not heard since he served the church of Maragor his home. Erickson's White hair whipped in the wind like the mane of a horse in the wind Slapping from time to time upon the mans back. It had been a voice that once had commanded him though Erickson had come to think for certian the man to be dead. Those preaditory eyes searched wildly in the darkness for the man belonging to the voice a bead of sweat fourmed at erickson brow as the rain began. There was no one there sharing the towers top but Belgria. Thunder crackling in the night sky the sudden and have down pour soon soaking the man who waited quietly with his steady hand upon his Villa questioning every shadow that the lighting produced. Again that voice spoke so to him from behind him but yet everywhere at once. " Guardin of the free times of war come make your peace so you may return home to your brothers and be embraced with loving arms." If it were a test he were to fail as he could not answer the voice. The pain that it had brought to the surface. He had pushed it behind walls for so long. Erickson called out against the raging storm the only words that he could find, his voice echo'ing from the towers unfinished top to the gaurds who stood at the gates post, threw that castle it self where there windows were open every word could be heard so clearly that Erick could have been standing right next to them. " MY KING I AM SORRY" The words Filled the air with the mans pain the voice strainned with the breaking of a heart that few could understand. He had risen those dark silk cloths clinging to his body as he trembled pushed down upon both knees by the wind so ferice. A cold tear never to be seen rolled down his cheek as those preditory eyes broke showing a pain that only Belgria could truely understand. The guards could hear the voice that called back to Erickson a voice that sounded gentle and held a love of a father and the royal touch of a king. " Guardian of the free. My son you have lived to remind the world of the streangh of us all. Let them not forget that in Maragor there were heros. Ready your defences an prepare your golden friend time will call you to the greatest of wars." An it was with those words that the thunder ceased and only the rains continued to fall soiling the ground and washing the tears that weeped from eyes once feirce. Erickson remained on both of his knees there within the puddle that had fourmed from the rains his hands of the most course skin greeted the cold stones of the tower. He had been so unbreakable in the past an this moment only beckoned another time of sacrifice into his already troubled life. Belgria himself had waken roaring loudly towards the night sky as the giant lion moved slowly towards the only friend he had known running that muzzle against Erickson cheek as the night's foul weather raged on.

It was another cold night when erickson passed the guards of the gate. Informing them of late night patrol he was going upon. It was not unusual for the man to leave for such things. Erickson had a way of making sure people were safe. Perhaps it was just the need for his own company.
Belgria had run hard this night an it was by the moons zenith that the pair had come to find them self's at the unicorn falls. Far from the capitol city. It was here that Erickson would allow the large Belgria to rest.for a while. Dismounting at the waterfalls base allowing the large lion to wander off to dryer land. The bank was wet with the mist of the falls. A light breeze seemed to catch the very fine drops which circled in the air. However the ground was moist.
Erickson's right hand soon lifted from his side unstrapping the lions head helmet that man wore. Re veiling that white hair which danced gently as it fell to his shoulders. The strands toiling ever slightly with the breeze after they had greeted a temporary home. Erickson moved quietly towards the bank knowing the ranger had been following him for some time. It was ok how ever the queen had kept eyes upon him since his return some day he would again earn her trust.
It was slow the way that he knelt almost poetic for the man in his heavy armor. A steel wrapped hand moved to his Villa the sword at his left hip. Pulling it from the sheath quietly. Villa was a sword fit for a king some would say with it's steel folded more times then the average sword she was very resiliant yet at the same time thin sharp and light. The blood let would begin a inch from the tip and run clear down the blade to the guard. A beautifully wrapped handle with her fine gold and silver pummel finished off the sword whos tip was set in ground before him as his other hand moved to the handle as well.
Erickson soon lowered his head those white hairs fluttered forward twisting in the soft breeze that passed and collecting the small partials of what that danced in the moon lit air. Soon weathered and cracked crimson tiers parted producing a voice that spoke in a song like style. Deep voice echo'ed above the falling water so that even the ranger could hear. Erickson spoke the language of his fathers instead of what had become so common in the times which they now lived.
" PATER noster, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen. " Is how he would begin at first it was strange the Ranger shifted hearing the words that came forth almost as though he had never herd them but there when Amen was spoken the man came to reilize that Erickson had begun a prayer here with the water falls mist dancing in the moon touch sky. Again that voice played upon the whispering breeze who carried the words forward into the sanctity of the night.
" Omnipotens Deus , Eternus Abbas , Senior of Dominatio have misericordia super mihi a humilis miles militis in Thy Divinus Muneris. Oh Senior , EGO voveo Thy clementia quod bona. Alieno non Macies vernula in suus tentatio , neque nec suus Ordo of Knighthood. EGO precor , ut Thy Ero perfectus in totus res , utriusque valde quod vegrandis. Permissum mihi usquequaque exsisto dignus Thee , permissum mihi non alieno Thee in bonus vicis neque nec nocens. Loricatus mihi per loricatus of Thy Righteousness , tribuo mihi mucro of Verum ut EGO vadum confundo Macies hostilis quod exsisto unto Thee a verus miles militis. O Senior , in meus hora of postulo , exsisto me. Permissum mihi nunquam alieno meus sanctus quod sanctus vota unto Thee , ut EGO should non exsisto preda unto everto quod diabolus neque nec atrum res illae universitas. Permissum mihi usquequaque exsisto a beacon unto illud in labor , nunquam sino mihi ut alieno meus officium unto patria neque nec penuriosus : permissum mihi servo Thee quod Macies Eternus Per totus dies of meus vita. Permissum mihi usquequaque memor officium ut Cepi super mihi. Senior , si is est Macies Mos , permissum mihi servo Thee forever! Si quando oh Senior , EGO verto ex Thee quod is Ordo , permissum meus nomen forever exsisto vomica may meus incito exsisto infractus quod meus somes donatus unto everto habito per lemma forever in ut Lacus of Incendia quod Sententia festinatio : paratus pro impius. Vox ultra Vox , Culmen of Vires , Refugium of Patria , permissum mihi servo Thee pro totus dies of meus vita! Amen. "
This one stirred the night airs seeming to electrify them an for a moment the ranger saw what he thought was a figure in the mist. A woman he adjusted his eyes rubbing them for a moment to make sure but the figure was gone. If it had been there truly only the heavens knew. Erickson never shifted as he breathed slowly every breath was calm and conserved then he spoke a much smaller piece. An with it did the breeze become a wind churning the mist till it swirled in a single location just over the middle of the river where the falls crashed.
"Omnipotens quod misericordaliter Deus , magis promptus audire quam nos precor , giving praeter aut nos votum vel mereo mereor ; fluo down super nos ubertas of vestri misericordia , indulgeo nos illud res quorum nostrum conscientia est afraid , quod tribuo nos illud bonus res quod nos es non dignus sciscitor , praeter per vestri Filius nostrum Saviour Jesus Sarcalogos Amen."
This prayer would be followed immediately by a final prayer as Erickson's eyes never rose from the ground to see the Figure of the woman that had begun to form beside her a man like the one that had rose from the darkness the night before. A hand was streaching out in perfect silence as he spoke again a new prayer.
"Da, quaesumus Dominus, ut in hora mortis nostrae Sacramentis refecti et culpis omnibus expiati, in sinum misericordiae tuae laeti suscipi mereamur. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. "
This one brought the figures in to full veiw whom spoke loudly the woman with the most gentle voice in the the world spoke with a kindness as he hands reached she was young an in the mist had little color. But what could have been hair was long brushing at her ankles with the passing breeze her voice like a angel even the ranger questioned staying but he knew he needed to report to the queen such things as he had seen. The woman spoke heart shaped lips parting ever so gently. " My Munros, Mi amor. Do not pray for such things for they come sooner then you already know."
Those hazel eyes looked up to see the figure he did not shift did not move. Only those white hairs danced against the wind that had risen looking to her with pain struck eyes. " Mi Maria even thee I hoth failed." He spoke softly as he looked to her in silent questioning of if this was truly real.
She would again speak at her voice so soothing and angelic even the ranger was inclined to speak to her. "Mi Amour live for me and let go live free mi amour. An love again." She stated before the older man stepped forward as the woman passed into the night her figure desolving before the rangers eyes. Whom would be left to question her existence at all.
The older man however spoke with a firmness " Live Guardian of the Free there will be much to rejoice if thee life as free as thee allowed the people you served" It was with that which the man left Erickson damp with the moist air of the falls lowered his head to his pummel with out so much as another.
( Below I will give translations for the words spoken in Latin the translations will be in exact order to from top to bottom )
OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Almighty God, Eternal Father, Lord of Lords, have mercy upon me, a humble knight in Thy Divine Service. Oh Lord, I pray for Thy indulgence and blessings. Forget not Thine servant in his trials, nor his Order of Knighthood. I pray, that Thy Will be done in all things, both great and small.
Let me always be worthy of Thee, let me not forget Thee in good times nor bad. Armor me with the armor of Thy Righteousness, give me the sword of Truth that I shall confound Thine enemies and be unto Thee a true knight.
O Lord, in my hour of need, be with me. Let me never forget my sacred and holy vows unto Thee, that I should not be prey unto demons and devils nor the dark things of this world.
Let me always be a beacon unto those in distress, never allow me to forget my obligation unto the homeless nor the poor: let me serve Thee and Thine Eternal Throne all the days of my life. Let me always remember the obligations that I have taken upon me. Lord, if it is Thine Will, let me serve Thee forever!
If ever, oh Lord, I turn from Thee and this Order, let my name forever be cursed, may my spurs be broken and my body given unto demons to dwell with them forever in that Lake of Fire which Thou hast: prepared for the ungodly.
Power beyond Power, Pillar of Strength, Refuge of the Homeless, let me serve Thee for all the days of my life! Amen.
Almighty and merciful God, more ready to hear than we to pray, giving more than either we desire or deserve; pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgive us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and give us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, except through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ
Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, that in the hour of our death we may be refreshed by Thy holy Sacraments and delivered from all guilt, and so deserve to be received with joy into the arms of Thy mercy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(moon) and now it got into her hand too .She had to know .Walking in weaving pattern towards the doors of the stable .Moon manage to swing them open .And then taking off on foot in the night to find out the truth for herself . She didn't get to far before that wolf of hers started to bay ,but with nae a change of waking any he just went to free fall stable . Opening it and manage to lead him from the stable making after Moon. As Ghost and Free Fall found her .Ghost would bring Free Fall up and about too .Moon was still weaken to weak to real walk to where her heart and soul was now leading her too . So Free Fall would kneel down and with in a few moments Moon mounted him .Slowly making their ways to the lands of the KoGH .With in about several hours now passing .Moon a bit chilled but then out of not where a crackling sound of thunder and flashing lighening was surround them . But as Moon Neared that fall .She could barely make out that figure that was kneel and speaking with in tongue she knew little of but did know some of it .The other figure seen to be of the mist with that figure of the male . By now that chemis was scooping off her left shoulder and dipping down to just barely above her breast line . Her soft tumlbing moonlit golden platinum hair dancing with in the breeze as strands of it drifted about her shoulder and down over her backside as well as over some of Free Fall body too . Long flicking lashing of platinum flicking over those barely sparkling sea green eyes as they gaze at the slight she was now seeing . Moon didnt' speak but now was just barely holding onto Free Falls as the stallion had come to stop and stood their knowing if he moved she make fall from him .It was Ghost that wolf of her would be the one to make his way towards the male figure with in a few feet of them.
Sir E Sparhawk: Erickson had been bent upon the blade but it was belgria whom had lifted towering over the wolf as it appoached the solitary guardian of Erickson as well as friend and mount emitited a few low roars in warning to the wolf that came so quitely towards Erickson himself. Erick moved swiftly his sword went from ground to being held strait parrel with the ground in a second of time before he recognized the wolf more over had his vision seen the woman upon the mount. He shook his head slightly telling Belgria to calm. That large armour lion relaxed but did not let the wolf fully out of view of his gold hued occulars. As erickson moved to the front of the horse his steely hand taking hold of the bridle to steady the horse as he moved back it was a way to make sure that the horse knew he was there and would not spook mainly as once at the creatures side where the saddle sat he would release his hold pulling the steely guantles from his hand and placeing them at his side before he reached upwards taking the well already falling over moon into his weathered and worn hands. Digets wrapped about the womans waist as he almost pulled her from the saddle moving her swiftly in his arms so that she could be eaisly carried. Belgria had managed to get a blanket out of the pack which erickson had put upon the ground before his prayers had begun an laided it down upon the dryer soil. it was there that erickson would lay moon down never saying a word. He moved the pack behind her head. He looked very much diffrent with those white hairs which fluttered dancing quietly over his shoulders as he leaned down putting his knee to the ground so to make sure he laied her down as gently as he could.
Ldysilvereagle: Once Erickson had came to Free Fall that stallion knew him well ,but it was the lion that Stallion didn't know ,but Ghost had taken to the sense of the Lion and knew that sense of Erickson was upon him .So with that Free Fall watching Erickson take Moon from his back .Ghost came back to Free Fall and laid down by his hooves for now watching .Moon laid her head upon his chest as he carriage her to that cover still that cloth with in her hand she so did grasp .As Erickson was now kneeling down to place Moon upon the blanket upon the ground .She lifted her hand grasping the cloth and place it to cup up beside his left jaw line as she manage to whisper this word t him in elven. ~Pai ti ae shaerae ti on col shaerysi ti .Ais air air bersar si tor os saeri eil vaestaestaes sar shes shor ti caes eil myr vae shor ti tol .Ais mai Ai bae tasi shos ais si tor var shor ti tol. Sael Ai eis shaeraer sai mi tia col eindral ,riar Ai eir os o si caelael jhaer air byr shi tia tol val shor sher air shi cos .~meaning {Do me eye betray me oh knight before me .Or is it just that the mist of these and remember that burns with me heart and soul play with me mind . If so I nae care which if the mist plays with me mind. Then I am blessed to see my knight again ,but I ask of you the heavens let it not be my mind playing with but it be him .~This time her tones of her more like that of the night lark that flew in the lands at night .But still only a whisper upon the breeze . Her long strands now dancing over her as well as drift up beside Erickson face too . Her eyes now locked to his for fear that it was all just her mine and the mist of falls playing with her . ~~
Sir E Sparhawk: He had learned many tounges in the time that had passed but still some he worked on but he was able to peice most of it together just never to speak it back. He moved quietly to belgria pulling a heavier blanket from the back of the armoured saddle that the beast wore. The pair were quite a well ghostly sit in there dark armours with it's orange markings. Yet he would then place the heavy blanket over her. " Eyes can decive us all Moon." He stated gently allowing formalitys pass for a time. " thee should have not yet ridden or even been out of your bed. " He spoke gently his voice was low as the he knew well that the ranger had not yet left nor would he interfior. It was just the way of things when they were told to watch chances were that he did not even know that the knight he was sent to trail knew he was there. Erickson had never missed a beat it was the only reason the man had lived as long as he had. Running his hand down her cheek. Softly his words once more called to her in there low tones. " There are a great many things that our minds question but for now this is real." he said quitely " Rest for a while then we will ensure that we get you to the ward. " Again at this time he was more worried about here health then anything else.
Ldysilvereagle: It was the touch of Erickson hand that had resure Moon that he was real and not her mind play with her with the mist .Even when he spoke to her .She still question her own mind .Now she had felt his touch once again .And as his hand ran down her cheek of her face She tremblem .Yes she knew she shouldn't had been up and about just now .But she had to find out if he was there , she had to know , her heart and soul would let her rest until she knew for fact that it was Erickson that had given her that cloth .Her hand that was cupped to his jaw-line with the cloth in between her hand and his jaw-line ,was shaking so . Her eyes still locked to his .She could see the changes ,but one thing for are that hadn't changed or would never change was the way she had felt for him for he was her knight that had locked into her heart and soul from that very first meet of theirs .Moon heart was so pounding as it beat her breathing own breathing was labored .As now there was several small tear drops forming with in the corners of those eyes of spankling sea green of hers .~~
Sir E Sparhawk: I think I should find a healer for you Moon some one to help me get you to the ward for I do not think you will be able to ride for a time. " he would speak softly as took her hand from his cheeck and placed it over her breast careful not to accualy touch them with his own hands. It was perhaps the time and that he still felt that she was there to blame him for the deeds done before. He had blamed himself for many things an not just pertainning to her but things that went long beyond such he called belgria to him telling the lion that he should seek shuku and not let her leave with out a streacher. The armour lion mew'ed in what some would have thought to be frightening but the large horse sized cat took off at a pace that even her horse would not be able to keep. He was powerful every stride propelling the beast forward in a powerful gate but it would still be a time before the lion would return if he could with help Erickson however nodded as he turned back to moon moving quitetly once more to her side. he would kneel in the much diffrent armour then the shining silver of his past. He checked her foread for temprature but there was no fever to be found. Making a quite note of it to himself he looked to her with those preditory hazel hues. There was a strange softness that most would have taken for a killing instinct but what would one expect from a man that had shut out the world save for the lion whom was as much a mount as he was family?
Ldysilvereagle: As now Erickson spoke to his lion after he rose and left Moon side .She know let her eyes follow him so .And well she would now or never did in the past question her knight at all .As he return to kneel by her side again , and this time feeling her head .She knew he was caring for her, checking her for fever .And well he wouldn't find it still .But again her hand left hand came up to hand upon her forehead .She could see so much pain with in his own eyes ,and so many questions .But she was starting to shaking .She now had realize she had left her stables in only a chemise ,and for the life of her why she did so and how it got upon her was a question she couldn't asnwer too .But her now her hand laid upon his so gentle and tender .Letting her fingers to now start to slip into between his .With even a slight squeeze of kindness too .Moon then whisper ,still her voice not stronge enough for others to head if nae close to her as Erickson was .~M'knight it's me fault ye have done want ye done , it's me fault ,nae ye . M'knight I have seen it with in the images that filled me mind .Those of me one questioning me life ,and before ye .If it wasn't for that M'knight ye nae would be in so much pain like ye are . Ye nae would have trouble in ye journeys . It's because of me M'knight . I'ts because of me ye are filled with pain and bad emotions . It's me fault ye suffer so M'knight ,It's me fault .~As Moon whispers she would turn her head in shame ,for she blamed herself for all that had happen to Erickson as well as her . ~~
Sir E Sparhawk: Erickson shook his head silightly as he placed his hand to her lips to silence her in mid speach. His hand trailing off soon as he formulated a quick retore that was accidently given in latin. But alas even he could not help the words that would come to pass. His voice was gentle as it could be in that way of old speach. "Volo EGO could operor melior vobis causa ut quis vos mereo mereor , Vos vitualamen adeo of vestri vita in ordo huic laboro ,Puteus I’m off fugo meus own somnium sailing inter orbis terrarum Commodo teneo ut I’m vestri ut servo meus decorus puella. Ut vos vox a piece of meus pectus pectoris dies gnarus ut EGO may have been causa Si vos erant dimitto , presto quispiam alius somnium. EGO reputo EGO vires funditus defluo Vos don’t quaeso haud diamonds orbis, haud tener tenera tenerum ligamen of bacca" , he would speak gently as he looked to not exactly reilizing that she might not understand the words that he spoke but they were simple and the way that he felt when he looked at her his soft smile played gently to her as his hand traced her jaw and he covered her a little more with the blanket.
Ldysilvereagle: Moon knew those words as she laid there shaking now from the chill of his hand tracing her own jaw as he covered her a bit more now too .As soft and pleasant now formed upon her those heart shape lips of her .Still a bit dry from her deal with that snake bit .And yet the tears in the corner of her eyes she couldnt' now hold back at as she whisper to him in elven for what she now said for met for his ears alone . ~ Pai o vaeloji byrn tes Ai pai tasi Tia col , Pai o byr cyrn sar Ai molaes jhoji Ai pai thys olia os sys . Thys air'm shar si shaer os shol ,raer ,rairail os kaer saeraer, shyl mali vestys ail tia paes os os thar .

Sir E Sparhawk: Some of the words had excaped his recolection of the language though he was luck to catch the parts that he did. He was not very good with it however knew just enough to make it by. Was the way of the world and the world required him to know things about many people so that he could get by everthing from customs to language was in the knights grasp of things to learn. Though he smiled lightly placeing a kiss to her forhead as he spoke gently once more in that latin tounge as he started to stand. His voice was soft spite the sometimes harsh words that one found in the latin laungauge " Sileo Luna pro streanght vos postulo facio viaticus ut tutus locus a elementum ut perussi whispers of dies sol solis." Erickson soon rose to his feet moving into the forest and pulling his villa to find mattierals to make a mode of transperation for the woman whom should not have traveled by any means. (D)
Ldysilvereagle: As Erickson Moon so didn't want him to leave her side ,but she knew it was for conceals of her own health that was upon his mind .As well as her own safety to and nae his .Not once his she knew this .She laid there and watch him cooe to and from as he moved about that the lands there about the falls her eyes would follow him as much as they could as he moved about .Even if he dindn't know or realized just now much she cared for him with her heart and soul she didnt' care if he couldn't do didnt' love her for her love for him was enought for her . But yet she knew he must some how cared with in his heart and soul for her even if he couldnt' realize that it . Moon just laid there now now snuggling up into those blanket as did Ghost finally came to her side and slowly moved to lay next to her to offer his own heat of his form to Moon to as Erickson worked upon what he did so . ~~
Sir E Sparhawk: time came and went as he rummaged deeper into the forests shadow seemingly disapearing even to the ranger that was watching the man was left with only the veiw of moon. Erick knew well enough that he would intervien if something were to happen to her for it was by rights part of the rangers job. Erickson having finaly found some sutibale matirials would use his villa to knock them down both branches were about six feet in lenght and half a foot thick. He would then spend time taking the branches off so that the wood was more like two poles. Then it was that he lifted the branches he had cut and the poles carrying / dragging them to the place near the falls. He drop them off leaving them there for a time before he returned again with dry brush some sticks and long fallen wood. Which he would use to build a small fire nothing extravagent or fast burning. Just something that would produce some light and a little more heat. It was no wonder how the man had survived even though some of the places he had been and the things he had come to see. He was as much woodsman as he was knightly in the reguards of self perservation. Erickson unlike most knights had spent much time at the hands of nature living and thriving off the lands own goods. It was something uncommon for most whom spent there time in castles and keeps leaving them when the time for war or dutie arrose He would find reason for duity and reason to leave taking the patrols that normal guards would take to help them spend time with there familys. It was a thing that erickson did with no recognition. He in many ways over stepped the limitaions of some knights. Soon it was to the branches his Villa having been place back in her sheath and a boar tusk dagger pulled from another it was a odd knife by all means. No metal upon it in the least. The tusk it self had been crafted into a one peice weapon wich he would use to part the layers of the moist branches into thinner more rope like peices. Soon winding them together to create a full length of temperary rope. It would be strong enough to hold a blanket to make a cot between the two poles that he had crafted. The question was would the bear skin blanket be strong enough to hold the womans weight as she was moved. Well it should and the heavy wool that was upon the ground would have been used as a under layer for the addtional weight bearing portion of the cot it self. Few would know that erickson's expertise in emergency survival extended to making cots.Alas after a time he moved to moon the ropes ready and the the burs on the two poles cut off so that they were smooth enough not to cut the rope he had made. " Moon come To the fire for a little while. " He said gently as he lifted her with a arm under her knees and the other under her should erickson lifted with little effort for the reasonably small and light man his armour moved as though it were a orchastra playing a wonderious song as each step took him near the fire where he would sit her down removing his cloak to place over the top of her. (D)
Ldysilvereagle: As he came and went Moon never let the sleep take her eyes from Erickson and nae to mean to the other of the ranger there as well she would try her best to offer him a kind and tender slight dip of her head from time to time to let him know as well she knew his present was graced too . But as now Erickson finish the cot .And came back to Moon .And he came back toher and lifted her up .Carring her as tender as baby with in his arms again .Her breathing quickly labor from this and well she let her head come to his chest again .Even if his armor was upon him .Now at that fire as Erickson place Moon down again she didnt' want to leave his arms .but knew she didn't want to push to him into anything he nae wish to have with her as well .Feeling him placing his cloak about her .She would bring both of her hands upon his for only a moment with a tender loving tap to them .Then drew her hands to grasp the edges of his *cloaks to drew it closer to her .It was his and even if he didn't want to be near her .She had his cloak now . And well Ghost did move from her as Erickson picked her up and moved her to fire .Ghost just would move back over to Free Fall as he feed upon the moist grass of the area of the falls of KoGH .~~
Sir E Sparhawk: Erickson gathered the blankets that he had used to keep her warm over to where he had finished with the two poles he soon streading them out and cutting holes though the both of them at the same places it was these holes that he spread equaly around the blankets. which he then latched with the rope to the cot. It was a task that took some time as he then looked to free fall with a slightly twisted grin he moved over to the horse running his hand from neck hind. An then down the tail some almost as though he were measuring and it was moments later that he had the taill in one hand the boars tusk knife in the other as he cropped the horses tail short. taking with him back tot he fire strands of the horses hair which he twisted and braided having tied off one of the ends with a hair and pulling out antoher to do the same on the other side. Moon was surely not going to like what he had done to her prized horse but as he finished the winding and braiding of the hairs and latched it to the front of the cot he dragged ito once ore over to the horse setting the cot over horn of the saddle. Erickson once more moved to moon lifting her slowly carefuly as before and placing her in the cot testing the weight to make sure that the cot did not tear or rip. " Moon it may be a little bumpy but it will work for now." Erickson stated softly as he placed a hand upon her and covered her again with the thick black bear cloak he had worn. A soft kiss to her forhead as he put a foot in the sturp after collecting his helment and puting bot helm and gloves on. Belgria soon returned empty handed to walk beisde them as he nudged free fall into a slow walk on there way back to the road. (D)
Ldysilvereagle: Free Knew that Erickson would never harm as he stood there calm and cool as the man now cut some of his hair from his tail .Free Fall never even jerked a muscle as Erickson did this .But as he moved back to the fire .Free Fall went feeding upon the grass and when Erickson was done and return to drag the cot over to Free Fall he stood there now with him head rised with pride as the man hooked that cot to saddle upon his back .And when Erickson returned to Moon lifted her back up to his arms again she grasp a bit .But relaxed so much with in his arm ,only if it was for that just short trip over to cot now .As he placed her into the cot and spoke to her .That kissed he placed upon her forehead ,only if he knew just now much it met to her .Her heart now racing a bit and well her smile seem to widen a bit .She offer him a kind nod of her head that she understood that trip was going to be a bit rough for her .But at the same time she knew he did he best to make her feel as comfontable as he do too .Free fall let Erickson mounted and with the knight upon his back now .That stallion ears would rise and his neck arched so as he keep his head in a proud position to now .Slowly Free Fall moved forward as he made sure to care fully place his footing so that the bumps in the road would cause harm to Moon at all .And well Ghost would leap to his feet too and nowmoving beside that cot with Moon upon keeping a his ear and eyes closely upon the area for many sign of dangers .~~
Sir E Sparhawk: It would be many hours before Erickson moving so slowly would return to castle goldenhorn. Instructing the guards gently to move the woman to his chambers though they were smaller then they had been. Erickson had in some ways fallen from graces as the queens gaurdian having been moved into the tower but it would do for now as he himself moved the horses into the stable. He had been least given a room instead of the barraks over all it was be cause the others were well afraid of Beligra. The room had not changed in the way it was designed with the lack of a bed inplace of the muclitpule pillows upon the ground near the fire place. It was very diffrent from most peoples rooms a desk in the far corner facing the wall there were no pictures not tapestrys just a stand for his armour and a hook from which his sheild would hang even sword rack that was barren. It was much diffrent erickson telling the stable hand he would in time like his blankets back with a light smile as he moved back to the Castle is self.
Ldysilvereagle: As for Free Fall as those guards was moving Moon from the cot he stood still for Erickson to dismount .And as he did so .Free Fall would bring his head to tenderly rub up against his shoulder a bit .He would do this just once .And went Erickson stood there speaking to the stable hand .Free Fall stood there with pride and honor as if he was the knights mount and nae Moons, but yet Free Fall could never leave Moon for she had cared for him since a foal .But went Erickson walked from the stable Free Fall would nicker to him .As if to be saying thank you for his mistress .Ghost was waiting for Erickson and well as soon as he came out of the stable that wolf would play leap up into the air flipping about in a full circle and then landing before Erickson with his tail fully waggle play fully .Moon now was with in the tower and had been placed upon those pillows .She lay there with her eyes now glued upon the door just waiting for her Knight to come .~
(Translations once more from top to bottem) (erickson) I wish I could do better by you cause that’s what you deserve, You sacrifice so much of your life in order for this to work, Well I’m off chasing my own dreams; sailing around the world, Please know that I’m yours to keep my beautiful girl. When you cry a piece of my heart dies, knowing that I may have been the cause If you were to leave, fulfill someone else’s dreams.. I think I might totally be lost You don’t ask for no diamonds rings, no delicate strings of pearls, (moon) Do you realize now much I do care My knight , Do you not know that I shiver like I do from only your touchs .For it's was the breath of winds ,that ,twisting your great tresses, , brought strange rumours in my dreams of your faith . It was your heart , listening to the song of nature,in the groans of the trees and the sighs of the nights that was my whispers to and for you My Knight .O what can ail thee, knight who thinks he now alone and laley loitering .So that one would understand ,I ask not for fancy thing ,I'm not one to do so .Only ye touch that falls upon my cheek like a fading rose with in the anguish moist of falls here .It is you My Knight I'm will to offer myself unto you M'knight Can you understand those feeling of mine .I almost lost M'knight once before I'm going to lost u again I fear this so most now .I willing to understand that I can ,but if so just knowing that I'm yours it's worth my heart and soul which I'm offering you freely My Knight . (erickson) Rest Moon for streanght you need to make a journey to safer places away from elements that consume the whispers of the days sun.
