Mattius has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

"Is it her?" asked Endereth. Matttius didn't take his gaze from the body down below them. It looked like it could be Calentoleil.
"Somethings... not right here," he got out finally. It was silent and cold, very cold. Mattius reached out behind his back and under his cloak and pulled out his thin, cone straw hat. He saw Enderth looking at him funny.
"What is this?" she asked.
"It was my fathers and was made for him by Galadriel before she departed these shores. It has always help keep me calm in times of fear. I feel I should wear it from now on."
"So be it," she replied. They both turned their attention back to the figure on the floor. Without a word Mattius began to dismount the steed who neighed quietly at losing the extra weight.
"Now I see why you needed an extra bit of courage Mattius, but fear not, I will appraoch too, to see if it is Calentoliel."
"No," said Mattius, "don't do that, if its a trap then you will need to go get help from Tom and Radagast." Ender agreed after while, she wasn't used to doing thigs this way.

Mattius drew Angmarth and the white blade shone brilliantly, cutting the surrounding darkness. Foot by foot he approached the crumpled figure. With a massive sigh of relief he saw it was Calentoliel, but she was unconcious. After sheathing his weapon he lifted up her head to check the wound but a horrible vision suddnenly shot into his mind and for three seconds it was all he could see, a winged beast, cruel and twisted with red, rotting flesh. He opened his eyes again and turned around to see Ender sat on the horse looking confused.
"Well, is it her?" He didn't have time to answer as from Ender's left came a great rushing of wings, they both turned and Mattius saw it was the thing from his vision. As quick as a flash he pulled one of the tomahalk axes from his back, a gift from the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain, and threw it spinning towards the flying creature. With its massive body only inches from Ender the axe struck it in the side of the neck, sending it spinning away amist screams of holwing pain, screams that would awaken other creatures in the Downs. Ender was still in a state of shock when Mattius jumped on the horse behind her with Calentoliel layed across his lap.
"Go go go!!" He screamed as she snapped out of the fear and kicked the horse's side.
