must have been the wind [old version]

Tam Song hit the ground with a thud and rolled away before Glimmer could crush him, "Ow! A gentleman would have caught me, or at least broke my fall." Tam looked around to see where they landed and met eyes with an intimidating looking guy. He had long onyx hair with matching eyes and a scowl on his face, next to him was a lovely pregnant lady who shared his features, but had lighter hair--only by a little. "Who are you?" The man demanded, making himself more scary than he was before.

Glimmer puts her hands up in mock surrender, "I'm Glimmer and that is Tam, we were traveling with our friends, but got dropped off here instead of Aelin Galathynius' castle." The couple share a look and the lady speaks next, "I am Elide Lochan, Lady of Perranth, and my husband Lorcan. We are in Terrasen, where Aelin Galathynius rules over. We can help you get there, but we need you to tell us why."

Tam shared a look with Glimmer and did what Sophie told them to do if they got separated because she knew it was a possibility this might happen because she never teleported this many people before. "I don't know all the details, you see my friend Sophie was supposed to tell you queen so we only know the barest information." I leave the next part to Glimmer, who takes it in stride.

"She told us to say that May? No that wasn't right, umm. Maeve? Yeah that's right, Maeve, is alive. And she told us to show you my ring and the scar it left and to mention the Valg." Both Lord and Lady lose whatever coloring they had left in their pale faces. Then the Lord laughs, "What kind of joke is Aelin playing on us," He barks, "She obviously had Fenrys drop you guys off as a prank. The Maeve you talk about is dead, I saw her death with my own two eyes."

"We are not lying." Glimmer says with such seriousness that made the Lord lose his laughter, "Then show us the proof and if I think what you're saying is true I'll take you to Orynth." Glimmer digs in her pocket and out comes a fully black ring that is covered in darkness so dark that Tam's shadows wanted to retreat. Shadows that are not his move around the room and the Lord curses, "How did you get this?"

"Allow us to properly introduce ourselves now that you believe us. We are elves and we have a war going on, I was on the wrong side of the revolution and was given that ring. The lady who gave it to me had pale, onyx haired, violet eyes. As soon as my friend Sophie heard that she threw a fit. Sophie is a special elf, she was bio engineered and she read a book explaining everything about your world. She is allowed to travel across the world with teleportation and while she was running from the lady with violet eyes son she teleported here and she met people named Dorian, Manon, Aedion, and Lysandra.

"I believe they all have some royal fancy shamncy title, but I don't care. All I know is that you're going to help us, our demon is from your world and therefore your fault." And she has this look in her eye that tells me that she won't take no for an answer, "Gods, you remind me so much of Aelin when she was younger." He says with a groan and the Lady elbows him, all he does is give her a devilish grin that says 'am I wrong?'

"Wait till you meet Sophie." And the Lord pales while the Lady laughs at her husband's antics. She smooths her dress over, "I am assuming that there are a lot more of you and some probably managed to get to Aelin." Tam nods and the Lady continues, "We will leave as soon as we get word from her. I am also assuming that your friends are also scattered across Erilea? I will send out letters to all families I think your friend would have sent them to with the last of her power."

Linh Song ended up face planting into her boyfriend's chest causing him to grunt in pain, "Sorry, Wylie." She got up and scanned the room, but before she could do anything there were guards enclosing them, "Wait! We mean you no harm, I'm here to talk with the ruling family or official here." The guards separated her and Wylie, holding their hands behind their backs. A good looking man with long brown hair and a small woman with a thick bob and amazing cat eyeliner came up.
