First they passed through a couple of small farming villages close to the main city that incase of invasion the people could get inside fast. A few of the villagers recognised Neurion and gave a small bow of respect. Neurion in return acknowledged them as they rode through finally coming to the gates of the main wall, climbing high above the forest top. "Well this is it" Neurion said to Itrailde as they rode side by side.
The guards gave a salute as the two past through the gates into the bustling city, tho the night was beginning the streets were still fairly crowded. Neurion stopped his horse outside the hall and dismounted handing his reins to a stable boy who waited patiently for Itraildes reins.
"Im sure the cooks will prepare us a meal, i for one am a tad famished." Neurion said patting his stomach "And a nice ale will be nice aswell." He said smiling at Itrailde.
"As evil as you have heard?" He question Itrailde gesturing at his city with his arm.

As the road though the farming villages she watched as people bowed to there king. and look at her with curisoity. As they went in the gate she admired the trees of the forest promising her self she would come back to check it out further.
"wow" she said softly " i am somewhat hungry as well" she said plainly "tis no where as evil as have been told there is much more peacefull than evil in fact i am yet to see any thing evil"

Neurion enjoyed Itraildes comment of Dunland being more evil than peaceful, the pair walked up the stone steps that led to the large wooden doors opening into a large hall. Hearths created light and heat and were dotted around the hall, large wooden tables were spread among them, some occupied by Dunland warriors having a meal and drink with their fellow men.
Neurion had no seperate table made just for him because he liked to eat with his men, luckily enough a spare table empty of men was near the end of the room. He seated himself on one side of the table, on a large bench seat. Soon after a maid arrived asking them what they wanted and placing a tray with a fresh loaf of bread infront of them. "I'll have a jug of ale thanks, this bread will do for now. Would you like a drink?" Neurion asked Itrailde.

Her eyes wondered around as they walked though towards the dining hall it was amazing there much different than what she was used to seeing. The men looked a little bit rough but seemed good.
"Ale i guess" she said when she was asked what to drink. When a couple men and what looked like to be a captain came towards them. "Tis nice to see you back" the captain said with a slight respectful bow. Ita felt nervous and reach for neurions they didn't seem bad but they seemed darker than most humans but not evil. The men looked at her "en elf?" one asked.

"Good to be back" Neurion replied to the man standing in front of his table. Neurion noticed a new metal band attached to his beard. Some of Neurions men attached these when they had achieved something worthy in battle to show their skill to other men. "An elf she is." Neurion said with a smile. "Itrailde this is Uhon one of my long serving captains." As the captain gave Itrailde a bow a maid arrived with two jugs of ale and placed them in front of Neurion and Itrailde. The captain turned back to Neurion. I'll leave you two it." He said and walked back to the table from where he had come.
Neurion lifted the jug to his lips, enjoying how cool and refreshing the beer went down his throat. "So tell me elf realm are you from? I know little about them?" He asked keen to get to know her better.

"Must be a beautiful place" Said Neurion draining the last of his ale. "Sounds like a good idea to me" He replied lifting himself to his feet he led the way out of the hall into the night sky of Dunland. Tho it wasn't warm it neither was cold. Along the streets small torches had been lit to cast some light, Neurion felt the crunch of the dirt under his boots as the began to walk down the street.
As they walked Neurion couldn't help but be enchanted by Itrailde's soft pale skin glowing in the dark. Her eyes glistening like jewels he had to tell her how he felt. "You are the most beautiful girl i have ever seen Itrailde." Neurion said truthfully. He held out his hand taking hers in his own, he felt his heart beating faster than normal. "I hope you can stay in Dunland a while."

"it is you should come see it with me someday" she said softly as they left. and started walking
It was intresting how the streets where lit back home they didnt need any lights like that they where merly for decoration and so visiting humans could see. "You are not that bad looking of a human eather" she said softly holding his hand tightly "I plan to stay as long as i can" she said softly moving closer to him.

Neurion smiled as he felt Itrailde move closer to him. "I would love to come see it someday." He said
They continued to walk down the streets occasionally passing other citizens or men that patrolled the streets at night in-case their was trouble. They made their way to the center of the town where there was a vast area covered in grass, during the day men trained here practicing combat techniques or maneuvers on horses. Tonight tho it was close to empty, at the far end of the field two men were sparring with wooden swords.
"You have family in Lorien?" Neurion asked as the two stopped in the middle of the field, his clothes flapped slightly in a small breeze that swept across the field.

She watched the men sparing for a momment "No not any more it is a long story i got left behinde when they sailed away. Then i was adopted by haldir of lorien He was around for a few years when i was a child. But as the years went on he was away more and more i haven't seen him in many years now" she said with a sad sigh. Alatáriël took care of me in his absents" she tilted her head back and let the wind blow her hair "But they would all say im foolish if they saw me now" she rested her head on his solder"Because i have fallen for a human" she said then looked up at him.

Neurion listened intently as Itrailde shared some of her history with him. He watched her as she let the wind blow through her hair, her elvish ears uncovered enhancing her beautiful face. He felt her head rest on his shoulder and he stared into her eyes as she admitted falling for him. Without hesitation he leaned down as their lips connected he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His other arm wrapped around her pulling her close to him.
When he finally pulled back he was left speechless all he could do was smile at her. "I'm glad your foolish Itrailde, for if you weren't then we would not be here today."

when there lips met it felt different than anything she she had experienced before and she liked it so she was very hesitant to let him pull away from her. "Sometimes its wiser to be foolish i guess" she said softly kissing him again. After a momment she pulled away and said "Come on lets go back now" then walking back towards the street the walk home was silent until....

Neurion began walking back with Itrailde, winding their way back through the streets the same way they had come. They walked in silence for a while until a man stumbled out of one of the buildings. He was a head taller than Neurion and still had a pitcher in his hand, the contents were being spilt everywhere as he stumbled to wards Neurion and Itrailde.
The intoxicated man began to yell things at them, but Neurion couldn't understand him as the words were slurred into one. He watched as the man reached emptied the rest of the pitcher and threw it toward them. Neurion blocked it with ease then took two steps forward, punching the man in the stomach then brought his other fist up into the mans face before stepping back as the man crumpled to the ground unconscious.
Neurion shook his hand, he would have a couple of bruises their tomorrow. "Don't know what his problem was, but he'll have to deal with that when he wakes up." Neurion said as he walked back to Itrailde.
