Aragorn and Morsereg had ridden hard and fast o'er the mountain passes of the Hithaeglir, and soon enough found the eaves of Greenwood the Great, that in these days was called Mirkwood, looming ahead. They luckily found a ford across the Great River without being forced too far north and out of their way, and rode on toward to forest.
They trusted to Morsereg's blood closeness to Theatana, and prayed that it might not fail them, for now as they approached the forest they saw indeed how daunting ahead of them was this task.

Morsereg looked down at his Warg and then towards Mirkwood, now filling his vision. "Theatana...where are you...where have you gone...your father loves you...I need you back. I'll stop abusing my daughter and my sons as generals in wars, unless they're willing like Elros. I'm sorry, Theatana, for everything...just please come back to me. Your mother is worried sick..." He spoke, but not to no one. His voice merely carried it, to wherever the location of Theatana might be. While he need only think it, he felt the need to speak. It made the job easier for him.

The bird from Gondor had found the High Kings trace and arrived strong hoovering with his little wings on Aragorns Arm, dropping a message from Arwen:
My dear,
ill tidings from Gondor. A citizen from the Long shore arrived the Citadel and gave word that a cruel and brutal assault has happened at the coast of Gondor. He said also the banner of Lothlorien waved over the desolation. Oh my Love, what is going on in Middle Earth? I don't know what to do, except sending help for the survivors of the assault. Too unbelievable is the tiding about Ashurons involvement in this matter. Evil is working against us, tries to turn friend against friend.
In love
Arwen

Aragorn halted to receive the missive which the bird bore from his wife, and upon reading it his face assumed an appearance of dismay. He ran his hand through his hair, unsure of his course. Then he turned to Morsereg, who sat uopn his horse, looking on with a questioning glance.
"Morsereg, I must needs turn aside from the Quest for a time. Urgent matters call me to Lorien, and I must depart thence. Keep the faith and the hunt, and I shall return as soon as I may. All luck to thee and thy daughter - wish me mine as well!"
He spurred Roheryn forward and quickly spun about, then riding hard and swiftly away to the southwest, that he might find the truths of this matter. Soon he would glance upon the wooded towers of Caras Galadhon.

His voice carried to Aragorn, despite the distance, "Good luck, Lord Elessar. May whatever troubles bring you to Lorien end soon." And with that, he turned his Warg towards Mirkwood, and, with one last look at the fair sky and its sun, he rode deep into the forest, searching for his daughter.

Siranna and some archers sat in the trees watching them and she caught Morseregs words and wondered if he had changed towards his daughter but that was not for her to decide. THis was for Theatana to decide she just had to protect her country. Siranna jumped down and landed in front of Morsereg. "I'm assuming you are searching for Theatana?" She said to him leaning against her sword.

He nodded to Siranna, "Yes, m'lady...I am Lord Morsereg Dindaedel, and have come searching for my daughter after her dissapearance. I apologize if this is an inconvienence," He smiled softly, "May I ask your name, possibly?"

"Siranna, lady of Mirkwood. I know I can not keep her from you and I shall tell her you are here but I can not promise her return. She ran from Angmar and was distraught from what she grew up in and as. Please understand that where she stays is up to her and if you are willing to wage war because of any descision she makes, and also, in the end, Imladris better be standing or I will wage war." She said and dissappeared to get Theatana.

He nodded, "I understand," He called after her, his words following her as she went to get Theatana, "And if Imladris isn't standing, it is no fault of me or my men. My men will not strike unless Murazor does, Khand is the only one that seemed to show aggressiveness towards Imladris, I did not strike him."

Soon Theatana and Siranna appeared. She didn't look at him and Siranna sat in a nearby tree to watch them.

"Theatana,' Morsereg looked at his daughter, and her refusal to look at him. "Fine, then. I'm sorry, Theatana. I never knew you felt this way...Things have always been hectic, being the Ruler of Angmar, being whisked off to battles everywhere. I realize now my flaw, that I used my children as weapons of destruction. I'm sorry, Theatana. I should have asked you all whether you wanted to fight or not. I can not apologize enough, I know. I have neglected time with you three and your mother instead opting for councils and war gatherings. No more. Never again. I need you back, we both do, me and your mother. She's a wreck, worried about you. I don't know it, because it's always been my instinct to show no weakness...but I have been too. I nearly cracked when Elros told me you had left...it was like losing a part of me, a part of me I fear now will never return," He frowned, inwardly shaking with sobs, fighting to hold them back. "I'm sorry,"

Theatana looked up at him hate in her eyes. "So how long are you gonna keep saying that? In case you haven't noticed, you haven't exactly had any reason to gain my respect and trust. I don't believe you. I bet that you'll turn to your old ways as soon as you get everyone back." She said to him. Siranna sat there watching in the tree and she hoped nothing like this would ever happen to her or her friends. "Lady Siranna and Lord Murazor showed me something no one else had." She replied to him.

"Lord Murazor is a betrayer. He has done something to Lord Aragorn Elessar of Gondor himself, to get Elessar to aid me, Lord of Angmar, over one whom has been his ally through many problems!" He sighed, pausing, looking to her, a pleading look in his eyes, "And, if you don't come back for me, will you return for your mother, atleast? Even if you don't ever speak to me again, atleast stop her tears. I can't stand it, seeing her in so much pain. It's heart breaking. You're going to kill her, Theatana! She's going to die from worry if you don't come back soon!"

"Whatever. This is all because of you. She cries because she missed you. You mean more to her than me. Thats all she wants and plus, if I stay her, Elros can be you're pet and then everyones happy. I rather like Mirkwood. It's soo mice here. People and kids can go outside in friendship with few cares. This place is like a haven. Not that you ever knew what a haven was!" She said accusingly.

Murazor heard everything , he managed to arive shortly before Morsereg and he heard everything , and he said "You have heard her answer , you caused a war for nothing , and so many had suffered , for what , for nothing indeed, now i ask you My lord , to leave this lands , and take your darkness with you , "
