[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 2238263, member: 2012"] Jeddar waited silently as the elders of Silverdawn chanted around the outskirts of the large series of stones forming a U-shaped henge. The Druid of Silverdawn stood near the center of the henge near an arch of stone that rose up nearly ten feet. The stones of the henge were more than twice Jeddar’s height and so broad that it would take four elves with their hands clasped together and arms stretched out just to reach around from one side of a stone to the other. They were old. Some tales said that the henges had existed on Harqual from before the time of Cronn’s arrival. Jeddar watched in fascination as the old druid began chanting old elven words that not even he understood. It was at that moment that Jeddar realized that he might be making a huge mistake. He could still back out, and no one would think less of him. [I]“No, I’m going to do this,”[/I] He thought. The Druid of Silverdawn beckoned him forward. Jeddar didn’t hesitate. He knew that even being here willing to risk the Silver Gate would make him famous throughout the Great Forest. Well, at least infamous. The gate would likely do nothing, but if it did activate for him, then who knows where it might take him. Anywhere was better than back in Silverleaf. “The incantations are done,” the Druid of Silverdawn looked at the young half-elven boy with admiration and a little fear. Even seasoned elven warriors quaked at the mere thought of being this close to the Silver Gate. “Speak your destination, young Jeddar Silversun.” “The Eastern Shores, the Kingdom of Thallin, the City of Fruen.” Jeddar spoke the words clutching at the fine mithral charm that had been discovered with him as a babe. His one possession he prized more than anything. It was his only connection with the mother he’d never known. Jeddar’s thoughts strayed towards his mother and the man who had raped her. The man was said to have been born in one of the towns or cities scattered across the Wind Plains. Most believed it had been Ciros or Baermos. The former was more likely than the latter, as his father had been more infamous along the edge of the Great Forest along the Wind River. “I don’t believe it.” Jeddar snapped back to where he was and what was doing. He turned to the old druid in puzzlement, but the Druid of Silverdawn didn’t see him. His eyes were transfixed on the arch of the Silver Gate. Jeddar looked at the gate and his jaw dropped. The gate stood open. “Wow,” Jeddar forgot his melancholy and smiled. “It actually opened for me.” The young half-elven bard grabbed his gear and headed toward the gate. Only the Druid of Silverdawn noticed the light radiating from the half-elf’s charm. It glowed with a white brilliance that matched the color of the light, which glowed around the edge of the portal of the arch of stone. “The charm,” the druid understood the boy’s true heritage immediately. “Jeddar, the charm is the key!” “What?” Jeddar turned his head just as he crested the edge of the portal. He felt his body urged through the portal as if someone nudged him through. In a flash of light he was gone and the portal was closed. “He has the key,” the old druidic spirit turned his ancient mind towards the City of Fruen. He hoped he could find the boy before his trinket got him in real trouble. “Nothing, he’s not there. Where could he be?” * * * [/QUOTE]
