"This is so dead...ish... " Idril thought to herself as she stared at the back of the ranger. He kept walking, and walking, and walking... it was getting dark and still he walked. "You'd think he'd consider me as a lady and perhaps stop to rest, but nooo..."

It wasn't that she was tired, in fact, quite the opposite, the ride was invigorating, the scenery was pleasantly different. She was used to long rides, but what bothered her was the terrible silence between them. Usually she would occupy herself by talking to her mare about random things, but with him there how could she? She'd surely be thought insane... of course what other reputation could she offer?

"Are we going to stop to rest, or do you just... never stop? I don't mean to be rude or anything, but it has been rather awkward to say the least... Do you want me to shut up? I can easily shut up if you tell me to, but... the silence is killing me!" Idril blurted out, wondering how she ever got up the courage to do so, since when around strangers, she'd usually keep to herself.

The figure in front of her stopped walking, and to her utmost surprise, she could have sworn she heard him chuckle. "A-Are you laughing at me...?" she cringed slightly, wishing she could cower into a corner.

Strider turned around and indeed, he seemed to be laughing! Or smiling at least, in an amused manner. "Nay, nay, I do not laugh at you... your culture must be a strange one, though... how old are you?"

She raised a brow at this question, squaring her shoulders slightly, somewhat offended that he had to ask, for surely to him, she most likely looked like a child... "Er... 18... "

"And you have traveled from far lands on your own?" Both his brows raised, a seemingly doubtful look coming across his face.

"Aye, well, in a way, yes..."

He merely nodded and bent over, beginning to gather wood it seemed. "We camp here for the night, but I beg that you keep silent as much as you are able... dark things roam these woods"

Idril was about to say something, but decided against it. This was one time she had to be silent, or else he might actually tie her to a tree and leave her there! "Good grief I'm doomed... I think next time I'll just be content to RP on A-U, this is just... oiy!... At least I'm not drooling like a rabid fangirl over the poor guy... goodness knows that'd be the end of him if that happened..."

Pandora walked over to Riniel's side and knelt down beside her.

"You will be safe here, we will keep in contact with you I am sure Gandalf has his ways of communication" SHe looked up at the gray-bearded wizard with a grin which recieved a wink from the old man.

"Right you are dear, Riniel you will be fine. Just get some rest." Gandalf stated and rubbed her shoulder before leaving the room where Riniel was now lying.

"Well I best be off... I'll miss you RA." Pandora hugged her friend before exiting the room giving Gwenneth time to say her farewells.

"I hope you feel better soon!" Gwenneth also hugged RA. "I'm terribly sorry you're not able to come with us right now. But we'll meet up eventually, I'm sure." She smiled. "Bye, for now!"

Gwenneth, too, left the room, returning to the Baggins hobbits, Gandalf, and Pandora.

"We have everything packed," said Frodo cheerfully.

"Great," said Gwenneth. "It's not like Pan and I need any extra time with the little we brought."

"Don't worry my dear," replied Gandalf with a smile. "We were sure to pack enough of the necesities for us all."

Pandora smiled when Gwenneth walked back into the room and when Frodo walked over with small packs for herself and Gwen.

"Thank you Bilbo, Frodo for everything." She knelt down and hugged the hobbits.

"I hope to see you both again." She said before throwing the back strap over a shoulder.

"Ready when you are Gwen and Gandalf."

Anduril was walking though the feilds wareing her normal cloths http://www.polo.com/product/index.jsp?p ... age=family when suddednly a raven landed in front of her, "Hello Anduril." it croked, she looked at it in panic, how did it know her name "Follow me" it said then flew slowly along the ground. She ooked at it in panic, then shrugged, and flicking a coin, followed it. Swiftly it turned around and lifted her onto its wings and flew into blackness.

When she awoke she was standing on the old east road. She looked around, it seemed familer and yet not...she saw a hobbit in the didtance, a hobbit? She slowly turned round in growing excitment...she was here, she hadalways wanted tocome here....but why, why had the Raven brought her here? She began towalk towards a collection of hills in the didtances, and shivered with excitment as she realised they must be hobbiton

Eruraina had gotten an hour of rest, supplies, and food. She was now on her way again.

Saying goodbye, she rode slowly tward the misty mountains, hoping that she could find a way through without going through Moria. With much hope, she fount a small valley way, that twisted and turned between the mountains. And for sevral long hours she did so. Finally, she figured she was half way through.

"I should try to get to the other side befor dark. I can't wonder around these mountains in the night." she said to herself.

It was getting cold. She dug through the saddle bags, and found a black cloak, and red blanket. Eru wraped the blanket around herself. Then put the red blanket around Chyanne. "I'll walk a little. I need it." she said to the paint mare...

(Not sure where other people in the vicinity are, but I'm heading west toward Bree, so if anyone wants to meet up, feel free)

Mel kept walking. It was a lot longer than it looked and the hump of buildings in the distance had only gotten slightly larger. She sat down a minute to rest, noting with apprehension that it was getting dark. The thought of a large, dark Nazgul crept into her head and she shuddered. "Best keep walking." She muttered to herself, and got up. The sun was setting in front of her and it began to get cold.

Brego looked at Faramir. "Milady,are you feeling alright. he asked. "Call me Brego, do you have a horse or something that I can use." She asked. "yes." He told her. She mounted and said good-bye to Faramir. She gallop off. Where to, she thought. Rohn is three days away thats what they said in the movie. Rohn it is then. She said to herself.

Eruraina came to the top of a steep hill, and saw she was finally clear of the misty mountains. It had taken her almost all day. She looked around, gathering her surroundings. Rivendell was only a speck in the distance. she looked to the west, and just on the horizon she could barley make out a line toward Bree. Weathertop was easily seen as a lump with a rugged top.

Eru jumped back onto chyanne's back. she saw a speck going tward Bree. "Maybe it's someone friendly. I could go meet up with who ever that is. Hope it doesn't end up as a Nazgul, or I'm in trouble. But what about Rivendell. If I go there, then I could wait to see the fellowship arrive..."

Erura stood there pondering. She was ofly lonely by herself... she kicked chyanne in the sides so she would go at a gallop. Suprised, Eru went with the movement. "Never seen you go this fast."
Eru knew there were fifty miles between Bree, and the Misty Mountains. It would take her three hours at the least, at this speed to get there, hopefully she could catch up to whoever that was infront of her...

[Sure Anduril ]

"Thank you for letting me make myself at home here," she smiled warmly at the two hobbits.

"It was our pleasure," said Bilbo. "It's not every day we meet folk like you."

This made Gwenneth laugh. "Farewell!" She waved, before leaing Bag End with Pandora and Gandalf.

The trio cheerfully chatted amongst themselves as they began their journey, and Gwenneth was enjoying herself very much.

But suddenly, Gandalf noticed a figure approaching them.

"She looks like one of your kind," he said quietly, squinting.

"I believe she is..." said Gwenneth, squinting as well.

Mel turned around and there was a moving speck in the distance coming toward her. She looked around uneasily. If it was unfriendly, there was not place to hide. She continued walking, but a little faster, shivering slightly in the rapidly cooling night air. "First order of business in Bree - proper clothing!" She said to herself.

_________________

Pandora placed a hand abover her brows blocking the sun from her eyes as she tried to figure out who the mystery person was.

"I think it is, but you cannot be to sure." Pandora smiled as Gandalf made his way towards the figure leaving Pandora and Gwen for a moment.

"Can you believe we are actually in Middle-Earth, traveling to Rivendell with Gandalf!" She laughed at the ironic nature things had taken this day.

Eru slowed a bit as the figure walked faster at the sight of her. It deffinantly wasn't on a horse.

Eruraina galloped to the left, to hook around to infront of the person. Soon, after about ten minutues, she was at the person's side. She yelled the distance that separated the two, "you look a bit out of place here. need any help?"

Mel turned quickly, surprised at the sound behind her. She wasn't sure how exactly to reply - "Yes, evening's coming on and there could be Nazgul around and I'm fourteen years old and walking alone on the road to Bree with no weapon, dressed in a pair of cutoffs and a t-shirt"? But that seemed impolite. So she called hesitantly back, "Er - assistance would be very much appreciated...um...thank you..." and waited for the figure to draw nearer.

_________________

With that, Eruraina knew that who ever it was, was friendly. She rode up to the person. she herself was only twelve. "Aye... When I first got here I was in a t-shirt and jeans..."
