Eruanna looked up from her position, right at the hobbit-lass. She perceived the situation, but her thoughts bewildered her. “Who are you?” Eruanna asked, but before she could ever get an answer, the hobbit was gone. She knew inside that this would be the last time she saw the hobbit, at least for a while.

Left in suspense, she lifted her hood over her face, and tucked away the letter. Suddenly, it seemed as if all noise had stopped. The laughter, and the music, and people chatting along about recent happenings and what-not had subsided. Quickly she stood up, and walked towards the door, intending to end her stay in The Shire right then. Yet, every step became harder, she was straining. She had got to the door, and could go no farther; she leaned against a wall, and slowly slid down to the floor.

Eruanna sat, unable to move, she felt as if she was becoming hard of hearing and her vision clouding over. When all felt like it was about to shut down, the letter slipped down, and glided gently to her feet. She picked up the letter, staring at it once more, fingering each ornate letter. Slowly she read each word, and she saw it. A fold in the letter! What could it be? She opened the fold, which she could not see before, and read aloud. “Wherever you may be, stay. For I shall come for you…”

Stay, stay, stay; the word was replaying over and over again in her mind. Surely this is the reason for her strain. At once, she felt a burden lifted from her heart. He will come she knew it, she felt it! Suddenly, she could see, sharp as ever as if she had new elven eyes. And she could hear, she heard the laughter, the music so quaint and lovely, and she heard all about her people talking amongst themselves. No longer did she miss her home, for she perceived, this is why her path led to the Green Dragon Inn.

She lowered her hood, and sat down once more; awaiting the hour that she would find her love again. Merrily she pranced over to the bar, and ordered a fine wine. She sat down, sipping her drink, and enjoying the commotion of the inn.

And for the first time since her journey, she laughed.
