Mother Daughter Bonding Time (Open In-Between)
The night was still until the sounds of crashing thunder echoed through the forest. It was an ominous sound that something changed. Gone was the sneak in and sneak out plan. A little while later, the forest rang with the sounds of elves laughing and singing. The moved through the forest in a disorganized gaggle. It didn’t take Gar long to see Arwen leading the group with her mother by her side. High above Elironda flew cover. The group descended upon the campsite in no time.
Elironda knew that Gar would be upset. She knew that this could be a very touchy situation. She knew that she had lied to Gar. She knew that this completely changed everything Gar was planning for. Elironda simply didn’t care. They were elves, They were her people. Unlike Gar, she was unwilling to 'sacrifice them for some assumed greater good'. They were being enslaved by a barbaric group of monsters. Eli was many things, but she was no traitor to her people. She couldn’t, she wouldn’t have condemned them to one more day as slaves. Arwen’s mother was just the accuse she needed to gain the support of the others, and she took it. Eli had hoped that Gar would have turned her opinion around, but she didn’t. When Eli saw Gar lounging at the campsite with the very monsters that had enslaved these beings, it angered her. She had no expectations of gaining help from the Half-Orc, but she had expected Gar to help Arwen liberate Arwen’s own mother. No, Elironda couldn't have cared less about any plans. She did the right thing.
Confident in her choice, still Eli was cautious as she landed. She made sure to keep a safe distance from Gar. She didn’t know what to expect from the hothead. But beyond that, Eli couldn’t hide the shit eating grin either, “There were nineteen hobgoblins. Eighteen have joined their maker. There was nothing we could do to stop one from escaping,” She explained truthfully. “You will be happy to know, that mother and daughter have been reunited,” she said motioning towards Arwen and her mother as they walked up.
