“Magnificent creatures. The ones I was privileged to work with in Minas Tirith—well, some were even bred of Rohirric stock. Mighty beasts indeed!”
Ah, I have seen those before I lost sight. They were very powerful and sturdy. The horse I had at one time was bred with one. Though that was long ago it seemed, for the man had no horse and no sight. It still didn’t stop the man from dreaming!
“I am not so sure my father would agree,” Calon laughed, shaking his head and splaying his dark curls. “Always ran when I could—the woods are so thick here. So much deer, and quiet places to wait…”
The woods are very thick here. One could get lost that’s for certain!
“You are familiar smithy work?”
Orodreth had nodded to the man and looked hopefully to where the man’s face would be. I have made a blade or two back when I was a warrior. I wanted to learn such a skill because it could come in handy. I found the work relaxing in a way and very much rewarding.
”Well, when Faeldor and his family get here, you shall have plenty more people to talk to about it. They have lived in the White City much longer than I did. A few years for me, at most. I think they near grew up there.”
If there was one thing Orodreth could do it was hear. The man heard the pain of the other through his voice and he knew that the man was truly worried for this maiden and the family. Well I hope when they arrive they will be up for conversation. Perhaps by then the maiden will be there as well.
The sea; how Orodreth hoped he could get to it. Calon though, seemed determined and that made the blind man smile.
”Nonsense. Bel and I can come get you; it shall be plenty easy for us. We have some favored spots we could see you to. The freedom of the air and salt…”
I would love that. I bet the sea is as beautiful as I once saw it. Orodreth heard Calon’s words and went ahead first. No one would ever even notice that the man was blind if his eyes never held the milky whiteness. He walked inside with no trouble at all, like he had done this many of tones. And he had! He had walked in and out with hardly any trouble. Today though, he was a bit off and wandered too far.
“Indilwen, good morning!”
His new friend was certainly a cheerful fellow. He liked it a lot and couldn’t help a smile spreading across his face. ”Oh, Calon! Orodreth, there you are. Thought I heard you skittered out this morning. Hope the day was fine! Come in, come in—tell me, what can we do for you?”
Oh, I might have wandered a bit too far, but I met Calon here and I’m glad I did.
