Thalion's hooves echoes on the wooden bridge crossing the the Ford of Bruinen. They had finally reached Rivendell. They had followed the tracks of the others before them. Luckily, they had run into no orcs but Arlómë could hear them in the forest, somewhere out there. He knew that there would be no attack on Rivendell, so they would be safe there.

As they rode into Rivendell, an elf spotted them and walked over.
"Welcome again, Arlómë of the Dúnedain. You are well known to us." the elf said.
Arlómë didn't recognize this elf. He must have arrived in Rivendell after the last time Arlómë was here. Arlómë bowed to him in the elven fashion and said, "We are well met, master Elf, though I do not recognize you. Last time I was in Imladris, Lord Elrond was preparing for his departure for the Greyhavens."
"I myself am preparing for the departure from Middle-Earth. I'm spending my last remaining years here preparing for Valinor. I have been told by our Lady that if I should see you, to take your horse to the stables and direct you to your chambers. Many of your friends have arrived before you and are now resting."
"What about Ani Dao and Burzdol? Are they ok?" Einen asked.
"Yes, they are ok. You look more worn and weary than they do. Come, you shall rest under the shade of Imladris."

The elf, who was named Moranin, led Arlómë and Einen to their rooms.
"Arlómë , your room is here and Einen, yours is across the hall." And with that said, he took Thalion to the stables.
Arlómë went into his room while Einen went into his. Arlómë was ready for a good rest. He unbuckled his cloak, and then his sword belt. After finally taking off all his equipment, and putting on the elven garments that he found lying on his bed, he got ready to retire, but it was spoiled by Einen.
"I love this place! I still can't believe I'm here. Do you want to go out and find the others? You can show me around the place." Einen asked excitedly.
Arlómë sighed. "Yes, I will tell you everything you want to know, but after I get my rest. I suggest that you rest also or your stay here won't be as enjoyable as it can be."
"Your right. I'll come back later. I am getting pretty tired, after talking about rest." Einen yawned and went back out to his room. Arlómë's door shut softly behind him.
