A Visit from his Beloved Child- Day 78

It is early in the evening and Nameless is resting in his chair beside the woodstove in the shed he now calls Home. He has been working for the Farmer for better than a few weeks and having dealt with the rat problem in just a few days the farmer has promoted him to Grape picker. Life has been busy and Nameless has been working very hard for his new caretakers. As he reclines resting his tired hands Eru's presence blossoms into Rolynds mind by way of a Magic Ring belonging to the Barron which is in care of Eru. The Ring has the ability to deeply connect their minds allowing them to share their most intimate thoughts and feelings without boundaries or secrets. The communication of thought and emotion is overwhelming and disorienting but deeply intimate.

Erus Mind is filled with a flurry of things to do. Keep Honey out of my pack... Iisha needs to keep her paws off the sweets... Where in the Gods names has Jek run off to... Its been too long since Arron last wrote... she takes a breath and seems to calm a moment.

Eru: "How are you Rolynd?"

Eru feels excitement and peace in Rolynd and the sweet smell of grapes.

Nameless: “Eru! ahh sweet child it feels as though it has been so long but I know it has been little better than a week... what is this turmoil, these names?”

Eru : A small chuckle and another flurry of tasks washes over her before she pushes them aside.

"Merely some of Anada's children my Lord. The task of caring for them is... challenging at times."

She pauses a moment.

"Are you well?"

Nameless:

"ahh yes I nearly forgot of them." you feel in Rolynd a deep peacefulness, "The Devoted of Zet'Tallen has Brought me to a town not far from home.. I should not say where unless someone would find me and expose my identity here.."

Eru feels a destination in her mind just two days travel from Compass Rose and know that it is a town called Hallows End... immediately she knows that Rolynd knows that she now knows where he is...

Nameless: "ahh this ring, I forget its revealing nature"

Eru : Another small chuckle.

"It is fine, I will not reveal your whereabouts. Has Arron encountered you as of yet?"

Nameless: experiences a wave of concern...

"no dear, has he not returned home? It has been months, has he written you?"

Eru : Feels A pang of concern.

"No... he has not returned as of yet. I have not heard from him in over a month now..."

Nameless: " Oh dear, well he is a smart and determined lad... I do hope he is Ok." She feels him choke back his concern and focus back on her.. "Are you well? What has been happening in your life? Any word on Mab and the other wraiths,?"

Eru : pauses briefly as she refocuses.

"I am as well as I can be with 17 children to account for I suppose."

A quick stressed laugh.

"As well as the fact that many of them tend to have... let us say, sticky fingers. There has been no sign of the wraiths whatsoever since the last battle we had with them, which leads me to believe we may have defeated them or more likely they are replenishing their strength and biding their time."

Nameless:

Eru feels his curiosity rise,,, "where is Anada?" flits through his mind... I have heard local theurges talk of all the ritual circles in haven being moved to new locations and adjustments to the laylines.... I do not believe they have been defeated.."

She feels His concern for the people of Hollows end... "I shudder to think of what will become of the world if we (the fair folk) are ripped back to the dreaming but if the kindness of the people here is any indication of the rest of the humans… I have hope"

Eru : "She is with Vaali and I believe Meo as well. They left to try and repair what had happened to the keystone. At least, that is my understanding."

A swell of stubbornness wells up inside Eru.

"If I can do anything about it we will not be ripped from this world."

Nameless: A calm confidence settles in to him. "we will do it together, child. you are the beauty of my quill and the knife at my side, I will help strategize and care for the people and you will take your place of leadership and bear my authority as my retainer once again." His thoughts drift to his former Capitan of security Mezmera and his Servant Mari, feelings of regret and compassion towards them and shame for things unknown....

"It will be different now"

Eru : Eru's thoughts seem to settle as Rolynds confidence shines through for what seems like the first time in years.

“I shall be here to welcome you home my lord"

A smirk crosses her lips

"You will have a chance to repair things in this town. Much has changed that needs tending to."

Nameless: "I am sure there is.. "

His memory sweeps back to the night he confessed his Fatherly love to Eru. They were alone in the kitchen, tears were streaming down her cheeks and Rolynds heart pounding in his chest full of love yet fearful of his secret being discovered. His heat swelled With Passionate love as a father for his child, with not a twinge of lust in his heart but only compassion and forgiveness for secret things she had confessed to him... then the image swirls away into his mind.... "Your heart dear, how is your heart with all this, Malius and Fhio marriage business…With loosing track of me for so long, and with being sworn to another house not of your choosing? Is your heart at peace?"

Eru : A small pang of loneliness that is quashed almost the second it appears.

"I am never truly at peace Rolynd. The heart of a Sluagh is constantly at battle with the world and mine is no different... I am dealing with it all as best as one can I suppose, but once you return I plan to take a bit of a respite from dealing with the world alone if you are ok with that."

Nameless: Her loneliness is echoed in his heart accompanied by a deep longing for companionship which he quickly shakes away...

"of course child, you have my heart and you know you may take anything you even need from me."

Eru : A swell of thankfulness and she stays silent

Nameless: The smell of grapes wafts through your mind again..

"I have learned much of the Kindness that exists among the common man, when I first arrived hear a man blessed me with clean clothes and a bath. he gave me permission to beg in the market as long as I didn’t cause trouble I was welcome to stay in the town walls, yet before this even when I was filthy and covered in bloody rags a young human child was kind to offer me some of his candy he had collected at the festival.. afraid of the Elf covered in grime and hideous disfigurement he offered to share his sweets" Eru feels Rolynd begin to cry overwhelmed with on unknown feeling, foreign to both you and him, something unnatural to Fairfolk...

Eru : A wave of slight confusion and comfort washes over you and Eru stays quiet once more, clearly unsure of how to react

Nameless: "A week or so past the festival the day I arrived a man took pity on me and asked if I could help with his harvest in his vineyard. He provides me food and shelter.. and I hear him and his wife and their children, I witness their love. Their Daughter reminds me so much of how you would have been before your parents were killed. Life is not easy for them but they still make space for me and are kind beyond measure... I do my best to work hard for him and not miss any grapes ripe on the vine.... it is the least I can do.. It is all I can do..."

Again this strange emotion washes over you as another tear steams down his cheek. "I wish for you to meet them one day... perhaps maybe one day you can sneak away in disguise and come visit them? visit us?.... no it might be too risky,,, I wish not to offend Zet'talen nor Tanana and break my penance.. not that I have any faith that Pheonix was right in his dealings between me and Tanana but her herald did appear so there is something to be respected in this."

Eru : A silent agreement from Eru.

"Well, I am glad you are safe. I have not spoken to Phoenix since that time, but I shall trust your judgment. I will greet you on your return."

Nameless: "you have grown silent.. and polite...is there something you are withholding...or something in you wish to share with me?"

Eru : A bubble of amusement

"No no no, I am merely pleased that you seem to be turning back into the Rolynd I knew. It has been too long since you have been so happy."

Nameless: feels a wave of releif...

"I miss you and our late night chats by the window" She can feel Rolynd is longing for intimate companionship and his deep lonliness is impossible for him to hide from her...

"I miss so much of home and our friends, I almost even long for Dae'Aveal and our little arguments"

Eru : A wave of amusement bubbles up inside.

"I miss you as well, but I highly doubt Dae'Avel is easy to miss."

Nameless: "my journey has not been an easy one, so it stands to reason that things that once would be difficult would seem more palatable to endure than my current place in life."

Eru : "He has been surprisingly tame since the last foray into the death realm. I believe you shall definitely notice a change in his demeanor."

Nameless: peace and serenity swell up "I am so glad you visited me tonight dear"

Eru : A swell of contentment. "It is my duty, and I am always happy to speak with you."

Nameless: Eru feels a slight shift in emotion as his heart becomes stern but with an ache of misunderstanding "your duty? In this.. in your time that you spend with me, I wish not for duty, I only wish in compersion to receive your kindness and companionship out of your love and your desire to be with me. It is your pleasure in my presence that is my reward... there is no greater reward than to see pleasure in the ones you love"

his mind goes quiet as he waits to feel your response

Eru : A wave of amusement and compassion.

"I only refered to my oath to see you safe. You know I stayed by your side by my own choice."

Nameless: concern and relief combine...

"I will be home soon child, I promise"

Eru : Relieved at his confidence and reassurance

"Stay safe and come home soon."

Nameless: another single tear.. "I will child"

As the Presence of Eru leaves his mind Nameless leans back in his chair and spends the rest of the evening remembering fondly so many of the moments and adventures they shared together as he raised her and trained her from how he found her as a wounded and terrifyd feral child, into a fine servant, his personal handmaiden and bodyguard… Eru, The secret and forbidden adopted daughter of Lord Baron, Rolynd Finnien.
