Eruwen followed Carnil's remark with laughter. "Alright, then, you shall here it." Eruwen answered. "A few weeks ago I was out in the woods of Mirkwood searching for a quiet place to rest. On my way back home, I noticed a stranger at my house. Quite terrified and not sure what to do, I rushed over to a window on the side. As I looked over the window-sill to see what was going on, I saw my family murdered before my very eyes."
Eruwen took another drink from from her mug. "I am now on a journey to find my grandmother," she said. "I am hoping she will be able to help me find out who did this and why. It is somewhat a sort of revenge."
Carnil looked up with a strange shock on her face. "I want to fight them." said Eruwen. "I know I don't look like much of a fighter, but I do know some. My father taught me archery and swordfighting throughout my life. I can fight, and I want to find the people who did this---and I want to finish what they started just weeks ago."
Eruwen had a sense of anger in her eyes. One could tell the vengence she had in her heart just by looking at her. She took another drink of Ale and smiled at Carnil. "There are many people here, aren't there? All of them with so many different stories and backgrounds. It's amazing!"
