[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 343683, member: 2012"] Well, it's good to know that someone's been reading that one too. BTW, you might want to take a look a newly revised story that I've just posted up - Realmsian Dragonstar. It is Book One of what will be most likely a three part series. I had hoped to have it done by the end of Book Two but the more I go through it in my head I feel that there will be a Book Three. :D Anyway, here's the latest soliloquy... ------------ [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]DVALIN'S SOLILOQUY[/B][/COLOR] [I][B]Greystone Mountains, Dwarven City of Milo, Thunderstone Hall:[/B][/I] Dvalin stood in the main chamber of his clan hall. It was good to be home but strangely disconcerting as well. Dvalin walked down the center of the hall staring at the granite statues of his forefathers lining both walls of the hall. They were all there. Hurekk, the first of his line. Filiala, the hero of the First Ogre War. Rethgur, his grandfather. Dvalin stopped in front of his grandfather's statue studying the craftsmanship that went into the living portrait of the greatest hero of his clan. It was an honor to be his grandson. Dvalin noticed the spot meant for his father out of the corner of his eye. The statue would be carved and placed in the hall after his father died. Dvalin hoped that day would never come but knew better. Soon he would have to lead not only his clan but sit at the side of the new High Thane as Warrior Consort. "Grandfather," Dvalin often came to the hall to speak to the statues. Non-dwarves didn't understand the bond to the past. Well, maybe the elves understood. "It will never be the same again will it?" Dvalin shook his head in frustration. He knew that time would catch up with him eventually. He had responsibilities now. Responsibilities that he didn't want. His grandfather wouldn't have understood. "You, Rethgur Thunderstone never failed your duties once in your life, not even when it cost you that life. Father is the same way, grandfather. You would be so proud of him. "But what of me, you say?" The statue didn't speak but Dvalin knew that would have been his grandfather's question. "What honor shall I bring to the clan?" Dvalin closed his eyes not believing what he was about to say. "None, grandfather. None whatsoever. In fact, the clan might fall into dishonor for what I'm am just thinking of doing. I am to marry Sannl Blackforge. High Thane of the Greystones." Dvalin deepened his voice intimating how his grandfather had spoken. "What's this you say, my boy? You are to be Warrior Consort? But that is the greatest honor there is!" Dvalin sighed shaking his head. "Aye, it is that grandfather. But I dishonor us by not wanting to be Warrior Consort." Dvalin looked at the statue square in the eyes looking for some sort of sign from his grandfather's spirit. Nothing. Of course not. Rethgur Thunderstone's spirit was in Mount Clangeddin. Honored amongst the dead of the Father of Battle. "I do not love her, grandfather. I don't know if I ever did. Oh, we were inseparable as children, but that was different. We were friends. Life was simple then. We knew nothing of real responsibility. And now I feel like I'm trapped. There is a whole world out there for me to discover. Jeddar and the others are determined to explore it all. I want nothing more then to go with them. Jeddar," Dvalin walked away from his grandfather's statue. "I wish you were here, my friend. I could really use your council right about now. But even you have your duties. You must stand against the hordes threatening your home. And it seems so must I." Dvalin walked from the echoing cavern that is Thunderstone Hall. "For now." [/QUOTE]
