Mattius was in the most beautiful house he had seen since he had left Lorien nigh on twelve months ago. It was night and most of the group were asleep except for Tom who spoke with Radagast softly next to the fire. They seemed to be in deep discussion so bothering them would be a mistake. Mattius sat up on the side of his bed. He rubbed his temples hard thinking what to do. It was night and Endereth was out there alone. Why was no-one going to help her? The Wights, the fear was too close to their hearts. Mattius looked up at the two magical figures of Radagast and Tom and for a split second Tom turned and they met eyes. Just as quick, he turned his gaze and attention to the wizard once more. Mattius sighed. This was insane, he could not let her go out alone, even if she was a Ranger. But he still feared to leave, he had suffered. He bowed his head again and the voice spoke. They fear you, they fear what you are and what you can become. Go forth into the night, they need your help! With that he silently crept towards the door, without ever knowing Tom had turned and watch him leave, smiling proudly.
