Mercury Family/Marion/Meadow of Love Part II

Meadow of Love II

To Lord Erik

The bard keeps singing an old song, with new words... it is a Tavern full of a quiet silence. The silence of drunk souls thinking more than doing. Marion is still there, drinking slowly a glass of wine. Even beeing a Lady, there is no time for water now. A young girl, with an incredible beauty apears, to cover with her glow the dark of the tavern.

"He obviusly found me" she thinks.

Singer: Lady Marion, M'Lord Erik Eyolf is waiting for you.

Marion smiles at her, a friendly smile, not an arrogant one. She feels sorry for her, the young girl blind for his charmes. She knows about it. After she left the tavern, a beautifull carriage is waiting for her.

Erik: Good Night, my dear Marion...

Marion: Good night, Erik. it's been a wile...

She can feel his eyes sliding throw her. Those eyes that she can remember. Marion keeps looking throw his eyes, with a quiet and silent green glow. An unconfortable feeling starts to fill the environment. The intimacy between him and the young girl is more than obvius, But she keeps in silence. She knows him. He likes the spectacle. She keeps thinking about the poor girl, out of freedom because of his charmes... He starts to sing, after the claim of the young beauty. " I know everything..." He has been drinking, but he keeps his presence. They reach a meadow between the woods, in the midle of an strange awkward feeling... Marion tooks his hands and starts walking with him.

Erik: Now we can talk in peace...

Marion: Yes, is better now. But I told you that I will visit you in Avamar. I'm not proper dresed for an oficial encounter.

She is using her hunting clothes, but under the moonlight she looks like a proper warrior, a wild creature who is trying to scape.

Marion: I want to apologise to you, I've done it with Eilien...I lie to both of you and that was not right.

She stops in under a hughe tree. The stars shines into her hair. Erik looks at her, with an unusual face.

Marion: We have a child, a beautifull young girl who is going to make us proud. That is all we have in common. You are Lord in Avamar, you have many childs...You should visit Rugina, to see your baby grow... and...

She stops the phrase.

Marion: ...and...maybe to marry her...She is a Lady, and she is the mother of your child. Or maybe to Lady Rain. It is more than obvious that she has feelings for you, you had something strong with her. Maybe it is time. Both of you are very important to Sirion, so it could be a good thing for the realm...You are not getting younger, Erik.

She keeps seeing the sky, trying to avoid his eyes.

Marion: Thank you for what you have done with Eilien. I knew you would be a good father. I was selfish keeping her away from you. It was because of me....not because of you. I...

She stops talking as she can see him aproaching...
