I had a deadline of two days to prepare before leaving for Doriatn. Only two days. I didn't expect Fingolfin would plan to leave so early after the council. Not that i had problem with his desision.

I returned to the healers tent right after the council ended to tell Sanya the news.

It wasn't only that reason. I didn't want to make any eye contact with Maglor or Maedhros. I knew they wanted to speak to me after what i did back then. I wasn't in the mood to respond to themor explain them my actions. So I left without looking back once.

"Sanya guess what!" I almoat yelled as I burst into the tent.

"What?You had an argument with Caranthir?He started shouting again?"

"No he was too quiet this time and I m still consered why he was like this. Anyway this isn't the matter... I'm going to an Adventure!"

"You're going on a what? What are you talking about?"

"The council was made to find messengers to send to Doriath. I offered myself! And they accepted me! Basically Fingolfin did I'm not so sure about the others..."

"Wow! That's new i didn't expect to hear! So you're gonna leave without me?"

"In two days.."I muttered.

"So quickly?"

"Yeah I don't understand the haste either . I wanted you to come with me as a servant. But i thought it was better if you were going with someone else this time"

"You reject me now? That's what you saying?" She asked and crossed her arms pretending being mad at me.

"No I do not! Lord Turgon will go to the Harbour of Teleri. You told me your grandmother is there. That's why I think is better go with him"

"Aw..So that's the case. then I'm not angry with you. But you promised me well go together see the Harbour."

"I know. I didn't forget my promise. I have to go to Doriath this time and i can't loose this chance. I need to know... Well go the next time together when i return. I'll keep my promise. But you can go alone this time...exept you choose to wait for me.."

"I understand. I'll take that change too. I'll speak to Tyrgon myself today. Don't forget .Promises are promises. Next time we'll go together okay?"

"I promise" I said and streched my hand for a pinky promise.

"What are you doing?!"

"Pinky promise!"

"Pinky promise!" She repeated and did the same.

"Can i ask you a favor"

"What is it"

"If you go ourside to speak to lord Turgon and Maedhros or Maglor ask you anything please don't tell them I'm here. I want to pack my stuff in peace and then speak with them.

"Okay I got this"

~Elven Timeskip (one day passed)~

They previous day I packed some thinks of mine and prepared some food to go for me and Sanya (you know lembas and other elven food) so this matter was already done for the journey.

Santa spoke with Turgon and he accepted her as servant to go with him. Hopefully she didn't see Maedhros or Maglor nor i did the little time I got out from the tent.

I had no job to do this day.

So I went outside to find someone. I wanted Tristan be one coming with me in the journey. I wanted to ask him first before I take the permission from Maedhros .

In the beginning i was thinking going without any lord accompanying me as I was feeling safe already with Galadriel and the others. But surely Maedhros could not accept that and he would demand to have sone of his lords to guard me.

At least if I could not avoid it to find the change choose myself who's gonna cone with me.

I wish he was in his tent. Well my wish didn't come true this time. He wasn't there. I asked a neighbor of his and he didn't knew either.

So i was just going in circles in the camp hoping that I'll bump into him sonehow.

It didn't take ne long.

He was in the stables brushing his horse s back.

"Tristan! Do you remember me? My name us Alex! I've long time to see you!" I greeted from outside waving my hand .

Trustan turned his head and smiled.

"Of course I remember you! What brings you here m'lady?"

"I know we didn't haven't the closed relationship and.. I don't know if you learned about the Messengers the King want to send to the Forest. Im gonna be one of them. And I want to to come with me. " I summarised while looking down .

Coming after a long time asking for a favor was somewhat rude.

"Come with you? Outside?"

"I wanted to ak you first before i make it official. So here i am. Maybe was a bit late but the deadline is for tomorrow I had only two days spare to ask you..What do you think?"

"It's not that I'm allowed to leave every day from this camp. I want to see what's behind these mountains. I'll come with you m'lady"

"Really? You don't need more time to think or..? Im mean yiu can tske your time"

"No I desided now. I'll come. There's no time to think it nonetheless."

"Aw! Thank you very much for accepting thus position! Ill see you tomorrow then!" I muttered bowing a little before leaving.

Now I have to find Maedhros to tell him about Tristan. It wasn't that difficult either.

He had just finished his daily Training with Fingon in the plane field near the lake.

I approached slowly ressurecting the thoughts in my mind.

Before I even tried to open my mouth he grabbed me by my shoulders shaking me like he was making milkshake.

"Finally i found you! What where you thinking back then? You? Go outside in the wild? Are you in your mind well? Foolish mortal!" He yelled in my face. Fingon in the background was chackling silently while seeing me suffer.

"It's a bit late to change that..."I murmured with a grin.

"I know I can't change it! And that why it make me furious! You didn't tell anything begore because you knew i may disagree! And then you talk about me when I'm not telling you my business!" He continued.

"Im sorry I didn't tell you but I'm going for a reason."

"Then what was the reason?"He asked.

"I can't -"

"What was the reason Alex? What was the reasonnn?" He cutted me shaking my shoulders even harder.

"Chill down a bit Redhead! I just have to go okay? I have not the time to explain it right now!"

"And now why you came here? Just to brag it on my face that you'll leave tomorrow!?"

"No that's not the ca-"

"You're not going alone. I'll give you lords of my mine to accompany you"

"Well thats the reason im here. I wanted from you a favor. "

"What favor?"

"I want to choose by myself the people will come with me at least if I can't go alone"

"There gonna be at least three. And I'm not discussing it .three take it or leave it!"

"Three? Aw I wanted only one. Then if the limit is three.."

I could go against him this time if he continued to shake me like this I would throw up to his perfectly polished armor and he wouldn't like it.

"I want Tristan to come along with Emyr and Idwar!" I said with pride like I could go against him.

"Them only? You sure you dont want more? "

"I prefer less in comfortable with."

"Okay then.Tomorrow you're leaving. You're gonna take MY horse because I trust it more that you"

"Thanks for the compliment."

"Im not gonna let you ride away without any safety. You think outside is all bright and happy?! I'll not forget about that matter never. We'll speak properly when you come back!"

"How about the others? Did they took it well that I'm gonna leave?" I changed the subject.

"They don't wanna you to leave because you're suspicious. You know I trust you. But i don't trust the world out there."

"I'll be fine "

"That's what my father said when we ressurected him half-dead from the gates of Angband."

"Stop being so pessimistic!" I said and elbowed him so he finally set me free.

"Tomorrow I'll wait until you leave in the gates. I'll wait." He said pointing ar me as I was leaving

"Sure you will. Tomorrow" I responded with a wave and turned away.
