"Because I cannot solve all of their problems! I am only one man and I lead so many people. We work together of course but still it feels as if the weight of the entire world is on my shoulders. I know it wrong but sometimes I wish to escape it. That is why I often travel to clear my thoughts."

"Ruling is not an easy job. Your people know you can't do everything. They know that you are one man but they do know that you have the power to help them and that they would never give you a task you couldn't handle alone. It's up to you as to wheather you are up for the challenges of your people."

"I know." Doren sighed and decided to change to subject to something a bit more uplifting "So how long have you lived in Mirkwood?"

"Around 1900 years. How long have you lived here?"

"I would say eighty-seven, since the day of my birth. It seems that there is quite an age difference. The elven ability to never grow old amazes me, but I know that it was not meant for men. Is Mirkwood similar to this forest?"

She shook her head. "No, it seems even the elven trees have long life. Their leaves shine green and the glow of a youthful tree is always around them though I'm sure the forest is just as old as this one."

"Perhaps. I have never seen woods as old as these. I should travel to Mirkwood one day."

"Oh sorry I guess I didn't tell you but I'm also the ruler of Mirkwood."

"Then I shall surely come and visit!" Doren looked towards the sky and bowed to Lady Siranna "It seems that time is progressing and I cannot tarry much longer. I have much business to attend to. Arnor is still under reconstruction and with the surrounding problems I beleive alliances need be constructed. I shall next ride to Rohan but soon I shall also come to your forest. Where may I find you when I arrive?"

"I have a throne room but I spend more time in Ohtars. They have the finest ales and wine you'll have ever tasted."

"And wich region of Mirkwood may I find 'Ohtar's'?"

"It's Ohtars Pub and Inn, you'll find it in the main city of Mirkwood."

"I suppose I shall have to find it. I will come to Mirkwood soon. You are welcome to stay in Arnor as long as you wish but for now I need to seek allies.
Farewell, Lady of Mirkwood." Doren nodded as he mounted his steed and turned west heading towards The Shire
