[confessoring]

( ooc; so a really quick thing on kahlan and her powers and what not, imma try not to tldr this. she's a confessor, they're a group of women who were created by a wizard as a ways to get the truth without any doubt. the touch of a confessor destroys a person's free will, and they commit their lives to the confessor - and also tell the truth (this is sometimes used as punishment, kahlan also sometimes uses it while fighting because then yeah more allies... sort of! except the bad thing is the confessor becomes weak after using said power and needs to recover. the confessor's magic is supposed to come from love (since they do what they do in the name of justice, and they pretty much can't go around confessing people all willy nilly), but the more powerful ones have one that comes from vengeance and hate called con dar aka blood rage. basically they can confess multiple people without touching them and what not... kahlan hasn't been taught this/doesn't even know about it so when it happens on the tv show she basically goes bat shit.

SO MUCH FOR NO TLDR. ummm so yeah. au CAUSE YAY. maybe there are confessors in tolkien land (not many though, maybe they're being killed off) and kahlan is staying with the elves right now for reasons? IDK. I'M JUST GOING TO SHUT UP RIGHT NOW AND WRITE A THING. )

Sometimes Kahlan couldn't help but wonder about her presence in Mirkwood. She could tell that some of the elves did not approve of her being there - some saw her as a human, a trespasser who was not to be trusted. Had it not been for the fact the first confessors had been created by a great wizard, and the wizards to this day still insisted on the importance of the confessors she doubted she would be welcome at all. She hadn't been called upon very often for her abilities the last time had been when a group of travelers had gotten lost - she had been asked to see if they were in any way a threat (they weren't).

Most of the time Kahlan would spend her days wandering the city, sometimes she would spend time with the children - but she mostly kept to herself, she just wanted the elves to see that should they need her she was there. Everyone knew what would happen should she touch one of them, there was an unspoken fear on both sides of what could happen.

Something is changing though, Kahlan can feel it in the air. She isn't sure what it is - but something is coming. In her early days with the elves she had wondered what it would be like to leave, now she couldn't help but wonder if she might have to. She was half tempted to go and speak to Thranduil, but there would be little point in that. If there was something coming she doubted he would acknowledge it unless it directly affected the elves. Instead she goes to seek out the red headed Silvan Elf. If anyone would listen to her it would be Tauriel.

PICK A VERSE FOR TAURIEL BAE

Tauriel had been interested in the human woman who spent her days in the city. She had to have come from Laketown, but her instincts told her that was not the case. It was rare for a human to be allowed within the borders of the forest beyond trade, but the recent events of the Lonely Mountain left much in flux. That included her. Tauriel herself was still banished from her place among her kin and her king.

The ginger haired elf turned her eyes to the woman as she approached her. Tauriel tilted her head in greeting towards Kahlan. "You have been unable to sleep again."
