At The Malinor Well

[TwilightWolf 901]

Titania walked silently down the road to the square of the Leumaelin, eyes fixated on the ground as she silently thought to herself of recent happenings. All the conversations she had recently had seemed to echo about relentlessly like a broken record, something was said that had a hidden importance that she could not uncover in her clouded mind. She found herself subconsciously walking into the Highguard recruitment building before she caught the faint sound of a 'Good Evening.'

 

Turning to face the source of the sound, she was greeted with the friendly face of who she would come to know as Kepi, Sequoia Dryad. Though she was still stuck in a fog, she managed a 'Ker'ayla' in return, and she finally began to notice the friendly faces about the town center, more than have been in quite a few weeks. Eventually, Kepi posed a question as Titania's eyes darted about the square.

 

"Do you know any stories?"

 

Finally Titania reset her gaze on Kepi, furrowing her brow lightly as she thought on the question for a moment. A few words, the memory of a story began to resurface, in a way that nearly cleared the fog that lingered about her. This same tale worked it's way out of the deep corners of her mind many years ago in a very similar occasion, the thought made her lips curl into a faint smile, before parting and speaking in a quiet tone.

 

"I know of one... it is very old, passed down from my family... It is rather short, but it is a teaching of sorts... forgive me if I miss a few bits, my memory fades as time passes... Shall we have a seat at the well?"

 

She was met with a few gentle nods in response, and the two wandered to the well, sitting themselves on the edge of the dark wood rim. Another, unfamiliar face would have joined them, a bright elf by the name of Alraezal. He too, would sit eagerly awaiting the small speech.

A gentle silence would fall over the court as the three sat at the edge of the glimmering water, only broken by a dwarf sat at the entrance, dragging a whetstone over the blade of his battle axe. After clearing her throat, Titania spoke.

 

"As I was told... there is a fight going on inside of me, and every one of us. A terrible fight, between two wolves. One is evil- he is guilt, envy, resentment, false pride, greed, arrogance, self pity, anger, sorrow, lies, inferiority, superiority, and ego."

 

She paused only for a brief moment, before continuing.

 

"The other is good- he is love, serenity, joy, hope, peace, empathy, kindness, benevolence, humility, generosity, compassion, truth, and faith."

 

 

Flashing a quick smile, she finished the small tale.

 

"And so the fight rages on between the two... however. There can be a winner, but that is only determined by the one you feed."

 

The two next to her smile, and a light conversation ensues, exchanging names, and answering a few small questions before Titania stands, glances at herself in the reflection of the pool for a moment before  speaking her farewells to those about her and turning for the deep forest again, and slowly walking into the distance with a small smile, feeling refreshed.
