Rhavaniel nodded at Turwaithiel's comment before Turwaithiel said, "Does your horse need an place to stay? She can stay with Tathar in the stables." She pointed dangerously near where the Elf was hiding and smiled, nodding to the Elf before turning back to her cousin.

The elf was sorely tempted to curse colorfully in Sindarin, but only rolled her night-dark eyes and stole away, thinking rather unkind thoughts.

Turwaithiel couldn't help grinning as she muttered to herself, "Another friend made today."

Erana went back to her room after her short walk and immediately fell asleep. After all, it had been a very long and exhausting day for her!

Turwaithiel stood at the edge of the forest, talking fluent Sindairn with Rhavaniel as the moon shown through the trees and the leaves blew in the cool night wind. It was an nice cool night and they needed something peaceful.

The next morning Erana woke up, feeling totally refreshed and strengthened. When she got up, put on her clothes and left her rooms, the first thing she did was that she walked to the stables to look after her steed, Mara.

Turwaithiel smiled as the sun came up and said to Rhavaniel, "Excuse me, will you?" Then, with Rhavaniel's blessing, left her standing while she went over to the stables. She leaned on the ralling and watched as Erana cared for Mara. She smiled at the care she used with this horse...it was something that wasn't seen often anymore.

Erana felt that someone was watching her, and turned around. As she saw Turwaithiel, she said "My Lady Turwaithiel, good morning!"

Turwaithiel smiled and nodded an 'good morning' to her before leaping over the gate and saying, "I honor you, my fair lady Erana. You are the only mortal I have seen that takes such good care of your horse...I honor you for that." Then, she bowed low to her.

'Well, my lady, me and my horse, we have a special connection between us! Mara once saved my life!' Erana said and smiled

Turwaithiel walked over to Mara and said, "Mae Govennon, Mara, mellon Erana." The mare whinnied and she smiled. "It is good to have an loyal horse by your side. She is beautiful."

'Thank you!' Erana said. 'Turwaithiel, I've got a question: How many people will be fighting with us against Morgoth and Sauron? Are there any others?'

Turwaithiel sighed. "Well, I hope Beren will come...some men which I have not meet...Elves from Numenor...I think my cousin Rhavaniel and you and me. About 40 strong soliders in total."

Erana looked down to the floor and said quietly 'Do you think we will be strong enough?'

Turwaithiel placed her hand on Erana's shoulder, saying,"Numbers do not win an battle..."
