Behind The Trees

Meeting again

Third pov.

A cottage stands out in the field long grass and wild flowers. The door has rusted metal hinges and an oak door. Inside is a fire place with brick structure and rocking chair on each side a kitchen to the left and a to the right a queen sized bed. The bed is a quilt bedding and feather pillows. Herbs lie on a maple table and the smell of lavender is in this little cottage. In the quilt bed was the she elf in the the center. Her hair was sprawled out the sun caresed her face as dawn rose. She opened her lighting blue eyes and sat up and looked around the quant cottage.

Rowan pov

As I lay there I remember what day it is I leap out of bed with heart content. " Oh how I can't wait to see my old friends it how been 5 long years". Walking around the house cleaning up starting the feast we will have tonight. I remove a rug below my bed. I get on my knees and take boards of wood out of the floor and take out my weapons. Putting the boards back I start to sharpen the tips of the arrows. I pull out from under my bed my satchel and start packing up my belongings. Herbs,arows, water, food, such as bread and cheese. Tooth brush, dagers. "That should do it all ready for the trip". I go outside and to the medow and stand their for a minute. Then the ground rumbles at my feet. A cream colored horse comes running up to me and rests it's head on my shoulder. "Hi darling it's been awhile I say as I rub her neck. We have a journey ahead of us my love". I guide her back to the cottage and attach the sadle to her and put my belonging beside her I kiss the horses head. I walk back inside and await for there a arrival.

Tyras pov:

It has been 5 years since I've seen them all. I wonder if Rowan has actually aged this time. I said chuckling to myself. Who am I kidding she's an elf. On my horse I gallop my way through the village getting strange glances. As I finally get get to the medow I see my once know home. At the door way I see Rowan at the door smiling at heart content waving. Her hair is longer than I last saw. I slow down my horse and run my way towards Rowan her arms stretched out awaiting my glorious hug. As I hug her I twirl her in the air and laugh.

Third pov:

Tyra how much I have missed you, how are you any thing new quest defeated any monsters. Rowan says leading me to the rocking chair. As I sit down she brings me some wine and roasted chicken. Rowan sat down in the other chair. We talked for awhile talking of old times tales. As the sun starts to shy away from the earth a knock is heard upon the door. Rowan gets up and answer it and see Galen and his cold expression. But expression changes into a smile everyone dies to see. Rowan stands their hands on her hips Galen tugs her hand and pulls her into a bear hug. " Oh Rowan how I have missed you. Taken back a bit by this Rowan hugs Galen back a tear in her eye and whispers something into his ear. Tyra her hand supporting her head is sipping on her wine staring at the fireplace humming and smiling. At little tipsy, Galen strolls over to her and taps her on the shoulder she turns her head. " Oh Galen come sit the others should be here soon enough tell me of your trials in the past 5 years.

Galen pov:

I sit down on the oak floor in front of the fireplace. My red eye is glowing in the fires light. Rowan hands me a cup of wine and caresses my hand gently and let's go. Putting my eyes back on Tyra she is gazing out the window. "Are you waiting for someone Tyra". Tyra looks back at me with a blush "No I am not. " she says as she crosses her arms puffing out her cheeks. So how are you Tyra? Fine tired from my travel. How about you. I found a new gem that has certain healing properties for this journey I say as I pull out a dark blue gem. Tyra looks at it admiringly caresses that with her finger staring at it and endlessly. Galen puts it back into the pack he is carrying. They sit in silence waiting for everyone to return to the sweet little Cottage.

Rowans pov:

I stand at the doorway waiting for the twins and long time friend.

Nero's pov

The ground quaked as we rode through the meadow. Hey Nero do you think Rowan has made a banquet for the group. Said Albus smiling ear to ear. Knowing her she has done so. Nero says with a cold expression. Aaron you will love the group they always are so cheer full so many tails you will hear from them especially Tyra. "Oh do shut up Albus".Nero said smiling to himself. I can't wait to see Tyra. As we approach the cottage we see a silhouette Illuminating at the doorway. We all come to a halt. Getting off my horse I approached the doorway and see Rowan.

Third pov:

Albus run to the doorway and lifts Rowan up and tosses her up into the air. Giggling Rowan taps his shoulder asking to be put down. Albus does so. Rowan approaches Aaron and puts her hand on his cheeks and whispers Elvish words of blessings. Aaron is captivated by these words. As she finishes she let's go of his face and smiles lightly and whispers into his ear you are now home. He is taken back and walks inside. "Nero how are you doing my old friend? Fine fine he says Patting her on the shoulder. Good we can start now that your here. Tie up your horses and come inside. Rowan turns and walks inside. Everyone Sits at the table and the chairs around the room. Nero and Rowan at each end of the table. Rowan folding her hands together looks around and clears her throat. "Shall we begin."
