Lamenting for the Lost

Characters: Haldir & Whomever else joins.
Setting: Third Floor, Dormitories
Format: Prose
Summary: Haldir's worries get the better of him while searching for a lost friend.
Warnings: None.


There was no sign of Legolas anywhere in the tower.

Even with the emergence of the new floors, Haldir hasn't a clue as of where the prince has gone. Of course certain realms within Animus couldn't be successfully explored without a suitable party. Haldir doubted that Legolas would be foolhardy enough to venture into the desert upon the Sixty-Fourth floor. That would be sheer madness on his part if he did so. Haldir knows that Legolas couldn't possibly be that reckless as to wander within there. Therefore, he figured that the Tower itself had something to do with the elf's sudden disappearance.

Should he seek consul from the White Wizard? No. That probably wouldn't be a wise choice for now. Raising such alarm over their missing companion would do nothing other than worry them all. Haldir wasn't certain if Legolas was in danger or not. Perhaps he merely went missing due to the strange fluctuation of newcomers here. That's certainly a logical possibility, but even that thought alone gave Haldir great unease.

What if Legolas vanished? Then what?

After pacing about through the winding hallways, the march warden came to a slow stop once he reached the dormitory. What should he do? Should he venture there again and check to see if Legolas finally returned? Or should be wisely speak with Gandalf regarding his disappearance? Considering that two other members of their dwindling fellowship has also vanished as of late, Haldir wasn't very hopeful that anything could be done about it. Only death awaits for any of those who are returned to their world, that's been established long ago. Middle-Earth and all of its' marvelous splendor was long gone by now.

The world was destroyed, wasn't it? This was what "they" claimed.

chaos saw that glare, but he didn't comment on it or react to it. He knew these words were painful, knew the pain that Haldir was going though..but that didn't mean his words were any less true. That they didn't need to be spoken. In the back of his mind, he sighed again.

"..You will still be Haldir, my friend. I admit that this situation is frightening, especially for you..but..you must continue to push forward. Even if you do need to stop and rest for a little while."

In the back of his mind, chaos sighed.

"Death is always an option for some..it is one I do not like, but it is an option. I am happy to hear that you will not go down that road. Don't give in to despair, my friend..even if you have lost an important person in your life. Inaction hurts more than loss."

chaos knew that all too well. Even though he didn't have enough powers to oppose Wilhelm, the fact that he couldn't do anything and didn't move stung.
