Keep Them Close

Rugina Walks Briskly by the Night's moon. Along the side of the Cold Lake.
She was almost out of breath, she vented all her thoughts about the Treaty tonight. She felt better. But more tired then ever. More then after her hardest Workout or dance.
Why was she told to step up and then told to step down?
She is Sirion's Dancer, but keeping that Title was Kicking her ass.
Figuratively.

She Pulled her cloak around her tighter as the lake breeze got colder. And After walking awhile, she could she her camp on the other side of the lake, all the nice men who fight for her. The very same ones who guarded her as she tried hunting down Sir Zartos by herself. Its just that not all of the Nobles where there...
Conner was gone, Jefferson, Arnold, Oliver, Jacobs... All of them Were Sent back home, with no ability to say good-bye to their family.
Rugina Started Crying. to many were lost in this war for It not to end...
She cried And Cried, Till The Earth itself Tried Comforting her. The Breeze got warm, and started tickling her. She Sat down by a Tree and It Held Her tenderly. Even The Fire-flys dances around her in the Moon Light.
But she Still Cried.

A female Elf whose pale skin was illuminated by the Moon Light walked out from behind the tree and sat down next To Rugina. She Spoke In Her Wonderful, yet powerful, child-like voice.
"Do you cry for the men you lost?"
Rugina half heartedly nodded. But then spoke out in a shaky voice "I cry for all- all of the men, women. People who died, or were hurt. And I don't know if we will be able to avenge them."

The Woman Shook her Head "Why do you want to avenge them?"

Rugina cleared her throat and tried to say these important words.
"Because I love them, all. I Love them all And I didn't want them to be hurt."

The Woman Gave a Sad Nod.
"then hold onto this For me... You lost it last time I gave it to you."
The Woman Placed a Hairpin In Rugina's Hand, then smiled and kissed Rugina On the Cheek. Rugina fell asleep, and the woman stood up and walked off into the forest.
