The company wandered over another mile or two before they would rest again. Eruwen thanked Lorin many times. Elentari and Airerūthiel kept watch that night. Airerūthiel twitched at the slightest sound. She looked towards Elentari. The elf-witch seemed deep in thought. Airerūthiel thought better than to disturb her. Although Elentari would not react to being interrupted, Airerūthiel knew what the elf-witch was thinking was most likely important.
Elentari was thinking about important things. Why was there and cave troll so far south? And did Khōrbar know her secret? IT was impossible but, but still… Elentari was starting to worry that her friends – the first friends she had had in a long time- would discover her secret. If they did, she did not know how they would react. If that found out she was… it didn’t bare thinking about. Elentari’s past was too painful for her. Living alone in Mirkwood and surprisingly helped her forget the past. But now with so many Elves around, the memories came flooding back.
Lorin and Soronūmė walked up. It was their turn to take watch. "Three hours gone already?" said Airerūthiel. "Time has flown by."
"It’s probably because you were twitching at each bird that flew by," laughed Elentari. She would leave her problems for now. She just hoped no one, especially Airerūthiel, found out.
