Arwen Undómiel, acheron parthenopaeus

April 17th, Ash and OTA
Who?: Acheron Parthenopaeus and OTA
What?: First time meetings, hanging out with old friends, whatever!
When?: Evening, round 8pm
Where?: Outside, at the gazebo
Rating?: TBD, most likely not over PG-13
Status?: In progress

The breeze from the north blew gently across the small island, ruffling the palms every so often and bringing the smell of salt from the ocean. Acheron sat in the gazebo, ever changing eyes trained on the vast ocean while the small waves capped on the shore. The sun was sinking into the ocean on the horizon, making the water appear as if it were on fire.

There had to be some way to get out of here, not that Ash really wanted to go but he was obliged to. Closing his eyes he let out a soft sigh, letting his mind wander for once in what seemed like ages. He wondered how his Katra was doing, and if she had the baby yet. He wondered how his Dark-Hunter brethren were doing without him there. He wondered if Alexion, Danger, and Styxx were getting along nicely.

And for a moment, a brief moment at that, he wondered how Artie was doing.

His eyes opened, and he snorted. He shouldn’t be wondering, or thinking about her. With a slight shake of his head he pushed his sunglasses up on top of his head, and narrowed his eyes against the brightness of the setting sun. Things here surely were peaceful at the moment, but that could always change. The will of the gods, ever changing, ever revengeful, and ever spiteful.

He should know; he was a god after all.

Arwen sang softly as she walked across the lawn with soundless steps, the rays of the setting sun shining on her and casting her in a glow of light as it reflected off the elfstone on her brow and the silver of her gown. Her song was that of Nimrodel, the words sung as a gentle farewell to the light, a mourning of the passing of time and the mysteries of those whose fates might never be known. Her gaze was on the setting sun and the sea, and she only distantly realized there was anyone else near until she was almost to the gazebo.

The notes of the song faded away as she turned to look at the man. "I am sorry, I did not see you. Forgive my intrusion on your solitude."

A soft, sweet voice met his ears and Ash turned his head to look at the woman who was approaching. He smiled, listening to her song and knew that she was like Legolas whom the god had befriended.

A small smile pulled up the corners of his lips as her song faded and he shook his head at her. “Do not be sorry, your song was beautiful and the intrusion is very welcome. Besides, solitude isn’t always a good thing.” He stood, feeling the need to do such and bent slightly at the waist in a bow. “I am Acheron Parthenopaeus, but if you wish you may call me Ash.” He straightened himself, offering her another smile. “I know Legolas, and consider him a friend.”

Arwen's eyes widened slightly in surprise at the being before her. He was taller than any elf, and had a bearing of something beyond... A Valar? Or something else? There was power and far more than a Maiar's abilities... and darker things as well. "Well met, Acheron Parthenopaeus," she said with a nod of greeting, and a slight courtesy "and thank you. I am Arwen Evenstar."

At the mention of Legolas, Arwen's expression became slightly less formal. There was also a bit of relief because at least someone here had met another elf and there would be no questions of trees or why she did not embrace them. Stlil, Arwen couldn't disguise a moment of confusion. Somehow she had thought Ash was a human, but that was clearly not the case... She put it aside, in favor of politeness and smiled warmly at Ash.

"It is a good choice, Acheron--Ash. Legolas is a brave friend, and true." She glanced toward the sunset. "It is good to find friends here in this place. It lessens the solitude somewhat," she added with a sideways glance at him and a soft laugh.

A knowing smirk graced Acheron’s features for a moment as her eyes widened a degree. He couldn’t help the effect he had on others; it was something that came with the gig apparently. He inclined his head to her, “Very nice to meet you as well, Arwen.” He gave her another smile, slowly canting his head to the side.

He was glad that she was a bit relieved at the mention of Legolas’ name. He would have really hated for her to be uncomfortable around him. He folded his arms across his chest and let out a sigh. “Would you like for me to clear up your confusion about what I am?” He asked, raising a brow over at the elf-maiden. “I will do so if you wish it.”

He smiled once again with a nod of his head, “Yes, I think so as well. He is fine company.” Acheron followed her gaze looking out at the setting sun and he nodded again. “Yes, that it does.” He chuckled as well and then looked back at her. “How do you like things so far here, Arwen?”

Arwen sighed, and had grace enough to look embarrassed as she offered an apologetic smile. "Forgive me, I should not let myself be surprised by those gathered here, only you are far different from the beings I have met. I admit my curiosity, but your story is yours to tell or not, Ash, and not mine to request."

She sighed. "This place is... at once it is wonderful and yet again it is frightening. I have met some who I am glad to know, but the loss of so much is still heavy on my heart. And you, Ash? What do you think of this world?"

Acheron shook his head, “There is no reason to ask for forgiviness. You didn’t do anything wrong but wonder.” He lifted a shoulder, giving her a smile in return. “You will probably not meet anyone here like me, or at least pray that you do not.” He nodded his head, “If you ever want to hear it, I will give it willingly, Arwen.”

He canted his head gently, listening to her words. He nodded his head, “I am sorry for the loss you’ve had.” He sighed, looking out at the setting sun and narrowed his eyes a little. “I think that the gods who did this were cruel in pulling certain people here to play with, but I would not trade the new friends I have made for anything in this world.” He turned back to her with a smile and shrugged his shoulders. “That is just my feeling.”

She smiled at Ash's words; while she did wonder about him, she felt that it would be wise to remain cautious. Perhaps she would ask him someday. "I think it would be a tale well told, though I think also it would be long in the telling."

Arwen sighed and took a seat on one of the benches, folding her hands in her lap as she looked at Ash. "You are right to feel that way. Friendship is a great gift, and that we have been graced with it makes the nature of those ever more complex. The dark beings of my world would never allow simple pleasures nor any light if they made a place to hold those they disliked, but the side of good would not part those who love one another..." Unless you were a peredhil and chose the life of mortals. But even that cruel choice bore a different weight than this place.

"Still, you would not trade those friends here for those you have left behind in the lands you come from?" She was curious. It was rare to find one who would value new friendships with older ones. Or perhaps Acheron had no kindred, but she did not think that was the reason.
