Karamir was getting infinitely frustrated. His plans were getting delayed by a long shot. The rest of the dwarves too were getting agitated and nervous as the time ticked in the darkness. There were groans heard everywhere and Karamir knew it was not going to be long before the dwarves would form a mutiny. As much as light had its way of giving happiness to the people. Darkness had a way of making people the worst of themselves. The fears and worries are amplified. The mind begins to think that this would be a permeance. A kind of prison that one can never be able to break away from. Karamir was impressed with the grit of the other dwarves who lived in the planet. He decided one thing now and no one can change his mind now. That night, he would be the one that goes and watches the cell where Borovin is holed up in. It is his call that he was to land over on this planet and it rather be his life on the line for this mission.
He could hear the voice of his wife ringing in his ear. This gave him more fuel to carry out the mission. The sweet voice of her voice echoed everywhere now. He knew that she was close. He waited impatiently as the hours clicked away for the moonlight to arrive.
Later that night.....
Thronir was there that night in front of the cell. So was Akira. She watched closely what was happening that night. She leaned in curiosity and made sure to hide herself as well. She looked for the yellow eyed dwarf to appear on the other side. There was no one to be seen! Interesting! she said and continued to watch the happenings. Thronir was stood before the cell but he refused to speak. Borovin was carefully choosing his words in his mind. A mindless sentence could put his life in peril, he very well knew that. As the stance went on, Akira could sense that there was movement along the roof. The yellow eyes one, she said and tilted her head to have a peak at him. She saw him there standing. But there was a few differences, she observed. His stance was more firm and his eyes. She looked at his eyes. It was yellow, but there was a volcano brewing in it. She could see the flames brewing in his eyes. She hid herself back, and she was scared. Those eyes! she uttered. She slid back on the walls and sat herself down. Who was that! she thought to herself.
Speak! finally said Thronir. Borovin removed the lens from his eyes. Flaming yellow! he said. Who are you? asked Thronir sensing the danger that the dwarf in front of him had brought with himself. I'm Borovin, replied the dwarf with panache. As though many a people had heard his name and immediately brought fear in their hearts. Where are you from? asked Thronir without any hesitation. From a place far away, replied Borovin. Akira looked at the more frightening dwarf who was on the roof. He had his gun firmly pointing his gun at Thronir. He was ready to pull the trigger at any minuute
Just then.....
A group of Hylin walked into the center. Karamir had hid himself well. The dwarf on the roof jumped away from the roof and ran away too. Akira heaved a sigh of relief. She then composed herself. Let me follow him, she thought to herself. She trailed Karamir without ever showing herself. He carried a sense of gravity in him, he thought. Every step he ran, the ground felt it. Who is he? she wondered. Karamir after a while, stopped running and walked. Akira followed him without making any noise at all. He walked towards the dark forests.
Thud...
Akira slipped from the trees, a rare mistake. Karamir turned towards her. He took his gun and pointed it at her. Akira quickly got up and ran towards the forests. Karamir ran after her. She ran on foot and Karamir not the quickest, was quick enough. He ran after her and tried to shoot her. Akira dodged the bullets and hid behind the bushes. Karamir stopped and looked all around in the darkness. "Come out!" he shouted to her as he pointed his gun everywhere trying to locate her. Akira kept her hands on her mouth and did not make a sound. " Show yourself!" he taunted her. Akira knew that even though the bullets need not be silver, it very well could mutilate her for the time being. Karamir sneered and peered. He veered passed her and she just closed here eyes in time. He had changed into a shapeshifting reptile. He wanted her blood, she could say not. He twisted himself in the trees, hanging by the branches. He slithered on the ground, waiting for the slightest shake in the ground. Akira was too scared now and she could not sit idle. She ran away from the bushes, deep into the forests. Karamir shot at her leg and she whimpered away. "Stop!" he warned her and walked at a leisurely pace.
Akira knew that her curiosity has put her life in danger!
