"Thoruk," Irdis replied softly. Her voice a sweet hum in his drained mind. "I cannot say." She paused then resumed.
"These people, they are the descendants of a folk that I once slaughtered. A folk I had once belonged to. On the island, some of their ancestors reached us by sea on great ships and settled in our homely abode. They were a dirty people. Like us. They were filthy and destructive. They came through and cut down the jungles and built a great city that they called Eldarmos or Aldameos, I believe. For a time we watched them. Although they were a detriment to the natural order, they also brought with them science and culture and in that there was a beauty. A beauty we had not witnessed for a long, long time. We cherished that beauty. But it was extinguished. Osman and I put an end to them. At least I made it quick. That was a mistake. Because of that their city tarnished and the landings surrounding it never regrew and all that was lost had been for naught."
"These people you see here. They are like them. Cut from the same cloth as Ilian would offtimes say. They fight for riches and they bask in self-righteous glory like no others. Yet they are beautiful as all things are. Do not make the same mistake that I did. Do not let this beauty go to waste, Thoruk." Her voice fluttered for a moment before dimming and slowly receding into the corners of his mind.
Ha'zi ran directly at Thoruk. Fortunately for Thoruk, Glorfindel was in the way. Unfortunately for Ha'zi, Glorfindel was in the way. A mailed fist punched the Haradrim boy in the face. Audible gasps were heard from the surrounding crowd as Ha'zi was flung to the ground. His lips cracked and blood seeped through them whilst his right cheek began to swell and he reached a damnably agonizing headache. The elf made no effort to help the boy nor did he say anything, merely watching the runt struggle on the ground. Iver had seen the entire scene unfold. Was Glorfindel an abusive cunt or was Ha'zi just autistic?
The soldiers turned to glance at where the shouting was coming from just as one of them stabbed Dimitri in his left calve with the man's sword. The Forochelrim would experience extreme pain erupt through his left leg.
"Silly what?" One of them asked Sigeric, clearly unable to hear over the Gondorian who was still groaning after being assaulted by Dimitri's warhammer. The other man unclenched his sword and blinked a few times before realizing he had impaled Dimitri. "O'...sawry..." He said backing up and staring at the Forochelrim's warhammer.
In the midst of all the commotion, Commander Magath appeared with a dozen new men. They were draped in dark cloaks the colour of nightshade and. Some wielded bows and other swords with an awkward two holding spears. Their hoods obscured most of their faces but it was clear that they were all male judging by their size and stature. Some bore emblems of a white tree whilst others had the faded shape of a swan embroidered on their cloaks.
"What is the meaning of this?!" Magath yelled at Arandil who happened to be the closest Gondorian to him.
