Is this a dream?



After a long night, Carrenhil went to the Prancing Pony Inn and ordered a water,

''A water if you please, Butterbur.'' said Carrenhil

''Sure, Carren.'' Butterbur nodded

Then a man came up and asked, ''Carren.. Is that your name?''

Carrenhil tilted her head in confusion, "Carrenhil, yes, can I help you?"

The man looked at her, "That's my daughter's name.." he replied

"Oh, How old is she?" Carren asked

"She should be 18 now..." He replied

Carren looked at him, she took her water and looked at him, "I need to go..." She said hurriedly, she moved out of the inn and was followed by the man, 'Why is he here?' she thought to herself..

Carren went back to the inn, where she found her friend, Katrandil, she started talking to her, ''Don't let him follow me.. Please..'' 

Katrandil looked confused, but she agreed to her request..

Carren had her hands on her weapons, the man was still following her, she finally spoke up, "What do you want!?" she yelled

The man looked at her, "Carren.. Is it really you?"

Carren looked at him, "Yes, it is..."

The man sighed with relief, "It's you... I've been looking everywhere for you.. I thought I lost you."

Carren looked at him, "You did lose me.. You lost me 17 years ago when you abandoned me and Amwynn, I was 1! Who does that?" She asked and demanded an answer

The man looked down, "We were being hunted... It was for your safety.."

Carren shook her head, "Safe or not, we could've stayed with you... Now Amwynn's gone... I lived in beggar's alley most my life, My world fell apart! Just because of 1 choice, you made!"

The man sighed... "Carren, you must understa-"

Carren stopped him midsentance, "No! I'm done understanding..." She stopped and thought.. "Mom... Is she here too?"

The man nodded, "Yes... But, It's not safe for her yet..."

Carren looks down to the stones on the ground, "Amanda and Joseph... Are they...?"

The man smiled slightly, "You remember... Yes... They are with your mother.."

Carren nods, "How could I forget? How are they?" she asked

The man nodded, "They are good... But.. Your mother... She misses you..." 

Carren looks at the horse to her side, she pats it's neck, "If she misses me... She can come to find me.." she turns to face the horse, scars and bruises on her face hidden by her hood.. Carren points her attention to the horse...
