[RPG][FEI][GLOL] Ziode - Reflections of the Past

[Steven Dougwillo]

/Ziode looked at the small band of archers. He'd never led them before, 
but felt he should. He studied them carefully and frowned. It wasn't a 
frown of disappointment. It had come from several old memories. Quietly 
he told himself that it was over. That the people of the past usually 
stay gone. As he became lost in thought Gerard came up to him./

"Sir. The men want to know what they are to be called. Will they still 
be Marelda's Ravens?"

/Ziode snapped back to reality and looked at Gerard. The question had 
barely phased him. It was the last part that had caught his attention. 
Gerard repeated the question and Ziode looked up into the sky./

"The past should remain in the past, but it shouldn't be forgotten. How 
many people here would know the name MinSaga? How about Tristan, or 
Glorawarthien?"

/Gerard looked at him with confusion. He hadn't expected the answer to 
be a question./

"I...don't know sir."

/Ziode continued without acknowledging the answer./

"Marelda has left as well. I hope she is alright. These archers were a 
gift from her to the realm. Their name will reflect that. Therefore, I 
will call them Trader's Gift."

/Ziode started to walk away as Sirus approached. Sirus went up to Gerard/

"Is he...?"
"Yes."
"Why does he keep this up?"
"My guess would be hope. Or because he fears he has nothing left here."
