Chapter 2

'Lorelei...'

 A raspy voice whispered in her dreams,

'You're next...'

  In her dream she saw her older sister, both arms broken and being pulled behind her at a sickening and unnatural angle, her face beaten nearly beyond recognition, her jaw detached from the rest of her skull. All of this in the name of pleasure for the foul Urak-hai that stood over her elf sister with a twisted triumphant grin smeared across his face.

  These violent dreams visited Lorelei every night without fail. The young elf woman was convinced that there was only one way that she would be able to end these horrific imagines from reappearing to her every night, she must destroy those that destroyed her family, her peace of mind, and took away everything that she loved and held close to her heart. Now she had nothing, nothing but hatred and a burning desire to act upon all the rage grew stronger with every day that passed without fulfilling the task she had set for herself to complete.

  Lorelei awoke with a scream of terror, frantically failing her arms and rolling across the pile of leaves that formed the make-shift bed underneath her as she tried to regain her sense of self. The soft brown curls of her brown hair were a mess with leaves and sticks from her restless tossing and turning through the night. Like all those born into the fairest race, Lorelei had a gentle beauty about her despite the hatred that filled her heart. Though elves didn't physically age, one could simply look into their eyes to gauge how much life they had lived. Lorelei had the eyes of a new-born fawn, a dead give away to her youth and lack of life experience and wisdom. She had only a few short years of learning from her elders before they'd been so violently ripped away from her. After that she had been completely left to defend for herself.

  She could have gone to another clan of elves, or chosen to live among the men-folk, but Lorelei chose to live a life of solitude deep in the woods, training herself among the harsh wilderness. She simply couldn't allow herself to move on from the tragedy. It seemed utterly wrong to choose another family when those that had murdered hers lived on without consequence.

  Attacks like the one that befell her clan were not a common place occurrence in these times of peace. While Lorelei lived for her revenge, the rest of Middle-Earth was merry and mostly care-free. No one was really worried about the occasional pop-up of orcs or goblins and most of the time the demons were quickly put back in their place before any sort of alarm could be raised among common folk. It was even possible that the ones responsible for the death of her family had already been taken down by the hands of another. Lorelei didn't believe that to be the case though, she could feel it deep in her soul, the beast she hunted was still out there somewhere...
