Mediator and Arbitrator
Moonlight bathed the gardens of the estate in a gentle silvery glow. Tall, slender trees stood like sentinels, their leaves rustling softly in the night breeze. Amidst the tranquility, Tirin walked with measured steps, his footsteps barely audible on the path of gravel that wound its way through the lush vegetation.
The scent of blooming flowers hung in the air, mingling with the distant murmur of a flowing stream. The night had an enchanting quality as if the world had taken a deep breath, allowing for moments of calm introspection.
Tirin's thoughts were a mixture of memories and the complexities of the path he had chosen. His gaze wandered over the delicate petals and shimmering leaves, finding solace in the natural beauty that surrounded him. As he turned a corner, his eyes caught a sight that both surprised and warmed his heart. A small figure was nestled against the base of a large tree, barely visible in the moonlight. A child, deep in slumber. Tirin approached cautiously, his curiosity piqued.
Tirin stepped over to the sleeping child and moved to kneel down beside her. He briefly wondered if she was dreaming or why she chose to fall asleep in the gardens. He moved a hand holding it out over her briefly as he tried to get a sense of her surface thoughts if she had any. He sensed something was amiss something brimming with anxiety.
"Little one, wake up. This is no place for you to be sleeping little one. "
