Mercury Family/Eilien/A New Discover

A New Discover

Everyone in the field is preparing to move on. The smell of dry old blood is still in the air, floting like a red and invisible cloud. When you see so meny wonded men, you ask yourself if it's worth it. And the answer runs quikly throw your hed. Yes. Yes it does.

Eilien walks throw her scaterred unit and calls for her captain.

Eilien: How are our wonded? can they move? Anshelm: Yes M'lady, they ready and waiting. Eilien: Good. I have something else to do, but when I get ready we are going to move back to Sirion. Make sure that the healers take care of them on our way.

She walks towards a bunch of men, the Rollbar's Riders. Eilien Knows them well, as they are her Marshall's unit.

Eilien: Good morning you all. I'm looking for your commander, Lord Simba.

The men looks at her wondering what does she wants. What a beautifull woman could want with his commander.

Knight: I'm sorry, but I don't think that we have met. Who are you? Eilien: I am Eilien Mercury Serpentis, daughter of Marion Mercury and Erik Eyolf Serpentis. I'm the Countess of Dolmbar and my men are the SteelRiders, from the Army of Sirion. Knight: A very impressive introduction. I know your men... I had a good friend of mine under your comand. Old Marcus from Dolmbar. Eilien: The good Old Marcus died in battle. He fought well and payd his bravery with his blood. I'm sorry for your lost. I losted him too. Every single drop of blood of my men is also mine. Knight: He was a good man, a goos warrior...and, what do you need from my Lord? Eilien: That is not of your bussines... Knight: I'm sorry...just cheking. He's wonded and I need to be sure that not an enemy get's near him. Eilien: Well done. But as you can see I am no enemy.

She can see a tall man watching the scene from the entrance of a small tent. Eilien looks at him with her drakonian eyes just for a second. He looks impresive even being wonded.

Simba: Let her pass.

The young countess walks throw the men and finds her Marshall.

Eilien: Good Morning My Lord. I don't think that we have properly met yet. I am Eilien, at your service...
