'There's no try anymore, Sauriil. We all have to work together or else there won't be a Valenwood.'

Falin managed to catch up with the rest of her group just as they reached the Blackthorn's hideout. She could feel the looks there were getting as they headed inside. "Tholim!" She called. "We need to talk."

Tholim sat on a chair as his eyes were wet from all the mourning of his wife "What is it?" usually when he heard from Falin he got excited, but now it was just, plain.

(Huh, I never got the notification that this was updated . . . Oops)

Falin studied Tholim as she approached. "What happened?" She pulled a char over and sat, Dereth and Covan staying nearby. "You look terrible."

"They, killed Galie." Tholim wiped the tears, "They'll pay for this, I'll kill every last one of them." Tholim hit a near by table "Why her, why not me?!" Tholim said as he was sobbing.

"Tholim . . ." Falin sighed, "I'm so sorry to hear that." She lightly touched his hand. "But we're all here to help. And we've found the cause of our magick being blocked."

Tholim focused himself "I-I'm sorry Falin." as just after he said that he fainted.

Falin blinked. "Th-tholim!" She knelt beside him. "Covan, go get some waterand a cloth. Dereth, can you help me move him?"

Covan nodded and left. Dereth moved to Falin's side.

"What did you do?" A voice boomed as Blackthorn members swarmed them. "Get away from him!" One growled, grabbing Falin and jerking her to her feet.

Bottles of wine littered the floor.

Falin frowned. They've been drinking? And wine of all things!? She growled, "I'd suggest letting me go."

(Anyone? I don't really want to control the Blackthorn . . . .)

(I believe my brother here thinks of this as a failure, don't quote me on that though.)

(I was starting to wonder if it had been abandoned . . . I've just already got 7 characters in play here plus I didn't know what he had in  mind for the Blackthorn.)

The first post in years.

(Well like I said earlier I can't really control the Blackthorn, your characters. . . . I had figured this thread for abandoned)
