Worst Day or Best Day (Pt. 1)

(4 LTT Y and 10 Months ago)

(Cantëaian POV)

Hearing a noise while Cavyër, Caviön, and myself were searching for a way to strengthen our metal without having to use as much time in the smithy for one object we were all on our completed wooden ringed tower that only reaches 4 tiers inside our completed wooden fort with our settlement halfway done building their homes all 3 of us look up and watch as a ball of fire flies through the air so fast that it is generating more fire at first it looks like a star that I have as my crest But when it's closer in a matter of seconds we can see the flames trailing behind it as it passes right overhead of the fort I snap out of its disastrous beauty and call to my 'Hands'

"Cavyër and Caviön when it hits the ground go get into your leather armor and weapons grab 2 of the guardians and Lijës and meet mee at the base of the central tower"

And run to my home and to my wardrobe just as I feel an earthquake and fall on my but with my pants around my ankles I kick them off and almost rip of my shirt before changing into my all white armor and elven Long sword, with a medium sized round shield and spear, bow with 25 arrows and a sea green cloak I exit my home quickly and see the elves from the leader class outside wanting answers about what that was I just tell them quickly

"A falling star I'm leaving now to try and find and bring it back here you are to lead in my stead but no new laws or charters while I am gone, I shouldn't be more than a week if I am I'll send word"

And run off down the stairs with grace that even surprised me as I get to the bottom, I see both Cavyër and Caviön in identical sea green leather. with black cloaks while the 2 guards are wearing sea green leather armor and blue belts, quiver and sheath and white cloaks and Lijës in brown leather armor with a sea green cloak, all with the same weapons.

"Follow me to the stables where did it impact"

I ask while looking at them

"Northeast Lady Cantëaian"

One of the guardians said I nod and look at both guardians and ask

"What are both your names"

The one on the left is the one that answered

"Talíön my lady my fellow here is jewëls she and I joined together to make sure our people always feel protected and safe"

I nod Cavyër said

"I like him"

Getting a weird look out of Caviön before we reach the stable master and I say

"My friend can you get me vöid and 4 horses attached to 2 carts"

He bows and says

"Yes, my lady it will be done"

I nod and he runs to complete the task I look back at the guardians and say

"Well, if you do good you might just become our first Captains of the guardians"

Caviön nods and add

"It will be a lot more work and you will be in charge of one of the gates be warned until we reach both sides of the river, we are going to be moving the gate lines so for now it will be more construction and deconstruction till we have stone walls"

They both nod seriously and put their fist to their chest and bowing deeply saying in unison

"We swear to always serve you my lady"

And Caviön chuckles and just as the stable master came rushing back with his helper leading a cart each with void trotting behind them. And says

"I am begening to like both of them"

Cavyër and Caviön get on the first cart while Lijës and the 2 guardians are in the other cart, and I mount Vöid and speak

"Let move ladies and not ladies"

The eastern gates open and we ride out with me in the lead Cavyër and Caviön behind me and talíön, jewëls, and Lijës in the rear as we cross over the bridge the safety of the settlement is slowly fading until we are about a league away that it is gone and it's darkness and very little light that we can barely notice but we keep riding for the first 2 nights we come across nothing but trees that seem to be watching us as we make camp for the 3rd night we are in a clearing up against the oldest looking tree as we start the fire we can feel a tremor that seems to come from the tree itself while we are cooking and eating we suddenly heard a howling followed by even more when the first one comes out of the clearing it looks like a wolf but bigger, mutated, and corrupted by darkness itself Lijës yells

"Cavyër and Caviön watch the left and right talíön and jewëls watch our backs"

We all have our bows drawn and just as the wolf makes its move and another follows to its right appears we hold till they both jump for us both mine and Lijës arrows enter the right and left eyes of the 2 beasts right for his left for mine. Right as this is happening another 2 jump at our left and back while another one jumps at our right all getting identical arrows in the eyes one more comes up behind the 2 dead ones in the front it is a white one and instead of yellow eyes it is blood red shine it growls at us and runs away in the blink of an eye then we hear a noise and try turning around only for Cavyër and Caviön to be picked up together by what looks like a hand of branches at the same time talíön and jewëls have the same thing happening to them all 4 dropping their bows when Lijës and myself turn completely around a huge stump of a tree slams into us and forced us on our backs and the giant stump rests on us and we can both see roots digging into the earth slowly crushing us while we can hear the pained yells of our companions before a loud and thunderous tree says in a slow voice

"What....do.... we.... have here.... dark.... spirits... corrupted...and..... made foul....by...the...dark....one"

Looking up I see orange eyes and a face carved into a tree no not carved it was always their but their innate magic that camouflages them as actual trees it's a type of wild magic

"No great tree we are the Eldar children of Eru Ilúvatar and our patron Valar is Ulmo"

It hums so I continue

"My name is Cantëaian the 4th of the 7 original elves from the awakening the ones in your hands and next to me are my people the Nënluyár or river elves we mean.... No.... Harm"

It looks at me like I'm an ant and I hate that feeling

"Eldar.... Never.... Have.... I..... Heard.... about... an.... Eldar... Before.... now.... the.... Valar... Them.... I... know.... the...mother.... of... the.... trees.... and..... us...ents... creator....is...of...The Hobbits.... Valar.... of.... the.... earth"

It says while slightly loosening us a bit

"So, you know the Valar and what is an Ent what do your people do"

"Us....ents.... are.... caretakers... of...the... trees... their.... protecters... Yes.... I..... know.... the.... Valar.... 15.... there.... are.... under... Eru.... Ilúvatar... the.... all.... father"

And I take this time to asks

"They number 15 we only know about 5 and only know 4 names not including Eru Ilúvatar, we know of Ulmo, Manwë, Aulë, and Oromë who are the other eleven"

It releases me and Lijës forcing us to cough while it opens its hands and drops my 4 other companions and backing up saying
