Silmeriel's stride matched Corwin's. "This is my fight, too." she said. "Not for revenge, but for my sister's memory."

" I welcome your company. A journey should never be taken up alone." He smiled. "But let us save our breath for running." He sped on ahead.

Silence filled the king's hall. Thranduil, like a refined cat rigid and growling after being thrown suddenly out of elegance, stared fiercely at nothing in particular. Melian was looking far off, perhaps matching her strength with that of Nan Dungortheb, warring light and shadow. Lùthien looked at her troubled father with pity, and laid her head against his shoulder, with her arm through his.
Melarë, though unbidden, felt the need for harmony. Almost silently she moved her fingers over her harp, striking ever so gently here and there. Daeron took her lead and began a soothing song.
She swallowed to clear her throat and sang softly with it, just quietly enough to ease the mind, and aid thought. Would they bring in the murderer? And what would he say at being taken? No, she could not think of these things, they were endangering her quality of song.

A group of small birds alighted as the hunters approached the river that formed the east boundry of Doriath. Corwin knelt to where two heavy boots had marked up the sand. "He passed this way." He splashed across the river and knelt at the other beach. When his face came up, it was grim. " He is not alone." Many tracks marked the other bank and a small, smoking campfire announced a hasty retreat.

Standing alone where they others had spent in thier greif she slowly turned and departed for the building. Sighng softly she tilted he face up to the starlight and raised her arms. her form took that of a tiger, lean and muscled. she ran along the path that Corwin and Silmeriel took, ready to pounce at any moment.

The tracks were clearly of made by something alien. A foul oder marked the air around the stream. Orcs... Corwin thought. He turned back to the others. "Hurry!"

Suddenly Melarë's fingers fell silent, and her voice faltered. Black mist seemed to swirl before her eyes, and she choked before falling senseless to the floor. The weight of her body knocked over the harp, and its golden strings lost their luster, snapping and coiling like snakes. Several ran to help Melarë, but her head had hit the floor hard, and blood stained her bright tresses. No one had the heart for music after she was carried to the healing rooms.

She crouched low waiting, waiting. but not for what they were waiting for.

Silmeriel moved fleetly, disappearing into the trees with a single movement as she followed the tracks.

She saw Silmeriel come out of the trees feet from her, and Corwin was nowhere to be seen. she growled low then sprung, tackling Silmeriel to the ground. her sword flung away and she lay there pinned.
Getting up she shifted into an elf form and dragged the girl up with her. she held her fast, and waited for Corwin to come out of the bushes.

Silmeriel flipped into a position that made her back scream, but the tiger-elf held tight.

She tightened then loosened. "Please dont fight!" she said. "Im not going to hurt you! please, just wait for Corwin!"

Corwin came slowly through the bushes. He raised an eyebrow at the tiger-elf and the elf girl. " What is this?"

She opened a dagger and put it to Silmeriel's neck. "He wants you Corwin." she said softly. she gathered her remaining courage. "The one you are hunting. tho one who sent the orcs. He wants you to come to him, and face him. i was sent to bring you." she was shaking slightly now. "You must come!"

Silmeriel was shaking with rage. She drove her elbow into the girl's kidney, snapping her arm up to knock the dagger away. She nearly crackled with anger and power. "Tell him he may face me, now or whenever he likes. Tell him I have many scores to settle with him. And tell him next time, to find somebody respectable to do his dirty work!"
