Circumstances beyond her control. The notion, in this instant, was breaking her resolve. She had been attacked, yes. Iain had sought swift revenge and, unsuccessful, now here he lay. Luthien had not left his side but for a few necessary instances. The straitback chair at his bedside became her perch and his arm her pillow for nights totalling an unrecallable number. 'What then was her resolve that threatened to break'? she asked herself while watching the steady rise and fall of Iain's chest. It was to refrain from tracking down the villian and continuing the circle of revenge. She supposed it was natural to wish death to he who had ruined their lives. What double tragic ending would it make if she were to fail. She was lucky to be alive, Iain was alive, though she did not yet know if that fact could be termed lucky...yet. To take up the sword for the hunt would be.....::sigh:: Days and days of resolve, keeping her mind on Iain's well being and not on 'anger'. Keeping his hand in her own and keeping her heart turned from rage. It had to be that way. She would have died trying for revenge were it not for resolve. Curious that she doubted her ability to succeed. A month ago she would not have doubted. But she had been gravely injured, and Iain moreso, Luthien found herself to be more aware of life's delicacy. Notwithstanding her elven longevity. Altogether most importantly.......she wanted to be there when he woke up.Here lay the man to whom she was eternally devout. Wrapped beneath the bandages was the body she considered her own --trapping a soul that was half of her being. Those fierce and wonderful eyes had not looked upon her in countless days and nights. A beacon he had been to her when she believed herself alone, and that all of the troubles of the world were hers, and hers alone to solve. This man that was everything to her and more. She would be the first sight his waking eyes beheld. She would have it no other way."I love you..." whispered Luthien, resting her head upon his hand once more.Love, never for the mean, it requireth courage stout, souls above doubt...Valor unbending, it will reward...Ye shall return more than ye were and ever ascending..Leave all for love, ...One word more thy heart behoved..One pulse more of firm endeavor...Keep thee today, tomorrow forever.
