The Shadow Walkers: Fornost - The Name Revealed



And so the unexpected companions sneaked through the Fields of Fornost, undetected by the enemies. The first goal has been reached. They succesfully reached the Gates of Fornost and the ruins itself. In the middle of the night they entered the remains of the Ancient City. They looked around, to check if any enemies are around, but none but them was there. 
They tied their horses to the post and then moved inside, sticking to each other in case of danger. And then Galad decided to run up the ruins, for a safer spot, where the riddle was able to be solved and the rest was possible as well. Soon the three ran up the stairs where one of the camps left by the Free Peoples remained. Katrandil slowly approached it, making a campfire and as she was done she turned to them.
They looked at her, knowing that she has something on her mind. Then she finally spoke. "I need to search for something here. Feel free to have a rest." - She then looked at the part of the monument, the enormous hand lying on the ground near the camp but Suoma remained uneasy. "rest, is it safe?" - The hobbit asked turning her attention from the woman to the elf. Ornessar moved closer to the others. "This place was not always like that." - He then said more to himself than to the others, so the Hobbit's question remained without an answer. That wasn't helpful. The hobbit lady looked around once again, frightened a bit more. "I... I would keep my eyes wide open here if that is allright with both of you thank you very much" - She then spoke towards both of her companions then moved with Ornessar towards the fire. 
The Forngarmo kept searching for the satchel mentioned by Halbarad before but then she heard the last words of the Hobbit. "As long as you have our elf lord by your side it is safe.." - She finally replied to Suoma's question and laughed. The Hobbit lady looked at Ornessar from up to down. "Well that is true I guess. Lord, elven lord, my say " - She answered then, trying to not disturb Katrandil in her search. Ornessar kept mumbling something in the language that was unknown to the others. 
The 'ranger' finally spotted the satchel and recovered it, she put it back in her bag then moved to the others, taking a seat on the remaining, available log. "So.. anyone wishes to share a story?" - She asked, looking into the fire and focusinge her gaze on it. "I don't think I have anything significant to tell." - Ornessar answered after a moment, looking at her. But Suoma had an idea, why shouldn't she take an occassion to get to know something more about her companions. "How about your name? both of you. I'm Suoma, Suoma of the Banks" - She asked, reminding them what her name was, then looked at both of them. 
"You can call me The Forngarmo." - Katrandil answered after a moment, not willing to reveal anything about herself, then focused again on the fire. The hobbit turned her gaze back to the elf. "I am Ornessar." - He introduced himself after a moment. "Ah, well glad to meet you Lord Ornessar. And you queen? Why won't you tell me your name?" - She said towards them, confused and curious about the woman even more. "This actually is my name." - Katrandil answered, falling silent even more after that.
