Okay I decided to join the mass hundreds that are writing about Dameon's love for Elf...and this is what I came up with. I am not totally sure when it is set acording to the books, but as you read on I think it is after TKP but before the Sneding...but not totally sure...I am welcome to any ideas on what an appropriate time would be.
But with out any further ado (I think that is how you spell it) here is my story...so far!
*****
Catherine
I feel the cool wind on my face, and turn in the direction it comes from. I am over come with a sudden feeling of peace and tranquillity, and let out a deep sigh of comfort.
‘Catherine, is something the matter?’
Dameon’s clear voice startles me as I did not hear him come behind me. I turn around to see that he is smiling at me, but at the same time I sense that he is worried.
‘I am fine, Guild master. I am just enjoying the serenity or the forest. Please, will you join me?’<br>He moves to sit down and I am filled with the happiness that does not come to me often, and we sit in silence. I search for conversation, so that he will not become bored with my company. But as my mind sorts through topics, I feel his hand connect with mine and I tense. He has done this before, but last time he suddenly came over as angry, as if he was betraying some one and left hurriedly. I hold my breath as he uncurls my fingers and traces the edge of my hand with gentle fingers.
‘Your hands have become rough with all the hard work you have devoted to the harvest. You are a hard worker Catherine.’<br>‘I only do my best, Guild Master. I do not wish to be thought of as lazy or spoilt.’<br>‘But who would think such things, as you show none of those qualities?’<br>I do not answer straight away as someone does thin such thoughts of me. But this person cannot be mentioned to Dameon as it would upset him greatly.
‘Only those who I have left behind.’<br>‘Well I do not want you to think of them anymore. They are gone, and you are here at Obernewtyn.’<br>‘And I am happy to be here Guild Master.’<br>The conversation stops and we just sit, in silence once more. I listen to Dameon’s breathing and here that it suddenly changes, it becomes more ragged and I am startled by this. The breath of men holds many memories for my mind. These memories all frighten me and I start to fidget. Dameon lets go of my hand, and I feel as if something has left me.
‘I must be going now, Catherine. There is a Guildmerge soon and I must prepare some notes for tonight’s discussion. Do not stay outside much longer, as it will soon be dark, and with darkness comes a bitterly cold wind. Good night, Catherine’<br>‘Good night…’and as he walks away I dare to mutter the words ‘…Dameon, my ravek.’<br>**********
Dameon
Mathew bangs around my room in distress.
‘What do you mean she fears men? How can somebody fear men?’ he questions me.
‘She fears men because she has had a bad experience with them. She has been sold of as a slave by her own brother and bought by a cruel man, who did not want her to work in his fields. She has been ill treated by everyman she has met and it will take a long time for her to recover from her experiences,’ I explain to him.
‘Well how long?’<br>‘A life time’ I answer.
‘What do you mean? She has already been at Obernewtyn for two months, and I think she has realised that none here are monsters. What do you think of it, Rushton?’<br>I turn towards the man who has given me purpose in life.
‘I do not know what to do about the situation. I cannot force Catherine to befriend men, but she must be able to work with them, if she is to become a healer. Dameon, what exactly where her experiences with men?’<br>I sigh, take a deep breath and retell what I felt in Catherine’s mind.
‘When she lived with her brother, he made her clean and cook for him. He beat her when he was drunk, which was often, and disgraced her in front of many of his friends. He gambled often and one night he had nothing left to bet, so he took his sister with him to a pub and placed her as the bet. He lost and Catherine was under the command of a 40 year old bachelor. Catherine was taken with this man and they lived on the road. One night as Catherine was washing herself in a stream; this man beat her and raped her.’<br>‘Lud! He didn’t!’ Rushton cursed.
‘He did and what’s more he left her beside the road with no clothes or food. And this is where I come in. I was riding past when I heard her crying. I dismounted Zarak and sent out a probe and located Catherine, her mind in shatters. I sent out loving and caring emotions and was able to convince her to come with me. I gave her my cloak and she rode upon Zarak as I walked beside them, all the way to Obernewtyn.’<br>I finished and waited for some remarks, but they didn’t come. I heard the rustling of paper and then Mathew’s voice rang out in the silence.
‘Elspeth, what you doing, out there in the doorway?’<br>Elspeth! She was not supposed to be back yet. Her journey to see Daffyd only began last week. Something mush have happened. I sent a probe out to her mind, filled with warm feelings. I heard her sigh.
‘Daffyd has come back with me, and brought Giliane. I was just coming to see you Rushton. I need to speak to you about my trip. Would you care to come with me to the dining hall?
Okay so that is it so far.....
