Emily seemed to freeze in the saddle as she thought about her words. "I...I knew him, personally." She began. "And the books lie when they say he didn't have family. I'm his..." She cleared her throat. "Daughter. And how it costed me a lot was it was the first 10 years of my life. And that's why most people don't trust me, including King Duncan." She looked at the apprentice. "I'm sorry."

Ryills nearly fell out of her saddle, but caught herself in time. Now this was a turn in the plot! the daughter of a man who tried to take over Araluen? I did not see that coming, she wiped the shockoff her face and smiled at Emily, "wow, um, why are you sorry for that? Honestly, want my opinon...I would of never guessed you were the daughter of Morgarth."
She looked down at her hands and then back at Emily, "Don't ever apologize to me, one thing you have to learn about me is I'm non judgmental, I like to hear both sides of a story before I make up my mind." She softly smiled at the Ranger "You know, you can't change who your parents are, or how your history is, and I think King Ducan and people have trust in you if they allowed you to become a ranger, I mean..if they didn't trust you or want you then I don't think you would be in that position of being Ranger have you considered it that way? Also on top of that have you tried to take over Araluen or unseat Ducan from his throne?"

Emily smiled. "I think that he let me become a Ranger so that he could keep an eye on me. Although, no, I haven't tried." Emily said.

Ryills fought the urge to roll her eyes at Emily, "See you haven't even tried to take over Araluen, if you were truly your fathers daughter, which, from looks you are not, then you would of already plotted and tried to take over the throne several times. And if you were his daughter you would be abusing your position as a Ranger, becasue aren't rangers close to the king? eyes and ears of the kingdom?" She raised her eyebrows at Emily,
"Ha, you think he let so he can keep an eye on you? Doesn't help that you guys run all over the place, so it sorta hard to keep an eye on you." She smiled again, "Don't let the past define who you are, just keep proving that you are worthy of being a Ranger and that you are not like your father. Simple as that."

Emily rolled her eyes and laughed. "Any way, so what else have you learned about the history of Araluen?" She asked, eager to get off the subject. "I hope Pauline's training you well."

"A lot, it was my favorite thing to go to the library and read up on the history, thinking it would be useful in the future to know if I ever get in a sticky situation." she frowned slightly, "But I don't know much about Rangers history, only that Halt and Crowley founded the Corps again after Morgaraths downfall. and I sorta think the views were one sided also." She smiled at Emily, "What do you know about the history of Araluen? Maybe I can learn some new things."

Emily looked at the ground. "Not a whole lot. I'm better at geography than history." She muttered. "But I do have friends who are good at history.." She smiled. "Most of it is one sided. You can't change that really."

Ryills grinned, "you have me beat there! Geography is not my strong point, it's one of the things a I still have to work on." She pipped up, "I have a deal with you, what about, you help learn my geography better and I'll help you history and such? Just while we are on this trip." Ryills grinned excitedly at Emily. "It's an opportunity to both improve on what we are weak on. "
Frank tossed his head and have a whinny as the walked along the path, "so what about the geography around here and where exactly are we going?"

"That sounds like a plan!" Emily said. "Well, this is mostly forested area and I'll show you when we get there."

"So is this whole trek forested? Or are there any streams , cliffs, meadows I should know about? Just in case I get lost and I an follow landmarks to know I'm in track. " she laughed slightly, "why aren't you tell me where we are going? Don't let me guess!" Ryills said laughing.

It's mostly forested all though there is the occasional stream." Emily laughed. "And Rangers have to have some mystery. I can't reveal all my secrets.."

Ryills sighed and didn't let her disappointment show. She was wishing to know more about Rangers! Changing the topic she spoke,"So, tell me more about you." She looked around before saying, "I'm really curious to hear your side about your father and how you grew up." Ryills looked at Emily, "I won't tell anyone, my honor, but I would love to hear a different side. But it's up to you, I won't push you."

"Well, like I said before, he was a pitiless man. I grew up around that, and I'm surprised that none of his coldness rubbed off on me. And I have to admit, I had sticky fingers when I was younger. It made him happy and it made me think that he loved me....but then I started to rebel..." She shuddered.

Ryills observed the forest around her while Emily talked about herself, after she was finished Ryills replied. "Bet you had a ton of practice." Ryills said winking, "as long as you don't take anything off me." Grinning she stroked Franks neck. "Why did you start rebeling? Just got fed up?"

"You could say that. I had a clue about what was going on, though I guess I never even knew. And I got done stealing from people."
