Haldir smiled and led on, Celebrianwen beside her.

Anduril forded the stream and then clibed a tree to see how far she had to go

(Okay, I'm sorry I've been away, everyone... so, basically everyone is arriving in Lothlorien, then? Right...got it. ^^;;;...)

~*~

Tenna gently pulled Belle to a stop, and looked up at the many large Mallorn trees with a small smile. It had been long since she had traveled to the Golden Wood, and her memory of the large, silvery trees had faded up until that moment. She urged Belle on and headed into the wood, hoping the others would not have gone far.

You seem nervous, youngling, Belle remarked, flicking her tail. What's the problem?

I don't know, exactly, Tenna replyed, shifting uneasily in the saddle as she thought of the new people she'd met. I'm just hoping the others are close...Lothlorien is a large area to wander indeed, especially by one's self.

Mmm, this is true, the mare thought calmly as she picked her way through the mallorns. Pellagwin stuck his scaly blue head from his pouch and took a look around, recognizing the large trees.

Aiya! The Golden Wood! the dragon squeaked as he slithered from the pouch to sit on the saddle horn infront of Tenna. But...Tenna, where are the others?

I don't know, Pell, Tenna replied nervously as she glanced about the forest. Hopefully not too far ahead...

They pressed on at an easy pace, in no hurry to get to their destination. An idea struck Tenna, and she paused, bringing Belle to a halt. She closed her eyes, and reached out with her mind to Greeneye and Haldir, in an attempt to find their location.

Where are you...?

Anduril herd the call, though not directed at her, and recognised it, with an evil littel grin the lept onto Mithelens bk and rode up behind Tenna

Tenna froze and turned slightly, sensing the presense of another, and the sound of a horse's hooves thumping along the ground. Belle snorted and whirled without command, her ears pinned back as she readied to defend herself and her mistress.

Tenna's eyes widened slightly and she smiled, relieved to see that it was merely Anduril, riding on the back of Mithelen.

"Mae govannen, mellon nin," she said, patting Belle's jet black neck. "You arrived safely, I see. I'm glad it's only you, though I doubt much evil exists anymore, especially in the Golden Wood. Have you gotten any word from the others?"

Haldir stopped, hearing a voice in her head. "I'm in the Naith...come join us...You and Anduril"

(Oh My Gosh Ana, i love ur banner!)

Mursan heard the whispers of mind speaking drifting through the air, but he was'nt in the mood to hear it or, strong enough to.

(Gracias, Dark. ^^ Ellie made it. I'll assume you know who the characters are...)

~*~

Tenna turned her head slightly and blinked at Haldir's reply, and nodded slightly. Right. We'll be on our way, then. She looked at Anduril once again, gathering Belle's reins as she prepared to set off again.
"Haldir says she's in the Naith. We'll want to make our way over, then," she said, drawing her hood and turning Belle in the right direction. Belle snorted softly and stopped dead, just to be silly.

Tenna scowled down at the mare, and nudged her sides again, but the mare stayed put. Belle shook her head and backed up a few steps at the command, and Tenna rolled her eyes.

"Get going, you silly nag!" the elf grumbled irritably, letting more slack into the reins.

Sticks and stones, my dear, Belle remarked cheerfully, before bolting off toward the Naith.

Mursan nodded and stopped, running his hand over Beinroch's injured leg.

Anduril happily cantered alongside Tenna, wondering absently

Haldir smiled and sat down. "You can try to tend to your horse while we wait, Mellon nin..."

Mithelen decided that she' had enough of cantering and broke into a galop, arriving by Haldir with snort.

"Suilaid, Anduril!"

Tenna caught up to Anduril with ease aboard Belle, and slowly drew her to a stop as they arrived at Haldir's side. "Suilaid, mellon nin," she said breathlessly, winded from the quick ride to the Naith. She dismounted Belle and slipped the reins from her neck to lead her, and Pellagwin slithered from his pouch to curl himself around Tenna's shoulders securely.

Belle gazed placidly around the Golden Wood, and nuzzled Tenna gently in the shoulder. It's as beautiful as ever...

Tenna nodded in reply, smiling as she lovingly stroked the black mare's forehead, then ruffled her forelock with a grin. Belle snorted and playfully nudged the girl in return, and Tenna laughed and looked at Haldir.

"Where to next, then?" she asked, glancing about the group.

Haldir sighed. "We need to get further into Lorien, scouts have told me that the orcs caught the scent...and they're coming..."
