Mattius has just left Hobbiton.
Sting

"Enderth!" Mattius shouted as he looked back to see the Ranger grow smaller and smaller. He tried with all his might to get the horse to turn back but it refused fiercly; it had seen the light from Tom's house and it was racing foward with all its might. With his left hand Mattius held on to the reign whilst with the right he desperatly tried clung on to Calentoliel's limp body. Different thoughts were racing through his head, the Beast was back there and Enderth too. It was still deep night too, likely that lots of Barrow Wights would be on the prowl. Not good.

The horse was only a few hundred yards away from the house now and Radagast came running up to Mattius.
"Hand me Calentoliel!" He yelled, "And come into the house, the Beast is afoot!" Mattius handed down the maiden to Radagast.
"I can't come in yet, Endereth is still back there, she fell off the horse." Mattius tried to turn the horse around but the animal refused to go back towards the Beast.
"Wait wait!" said Radagast. The wizard rubbed the mare's shivering head and whispered into its ears. "Now, be quick Mattius, Tom says Goldberry is out tonight too so look for her! Go!" With a kick the horse spun on its heels and sped off into the night. Radagast ran back to the wooden cabin with Calentoliel in his arms. In the distance he heard a cry go up from Mattius.

"Beast of Morgoth the day shall come when revenge shall destroy you- Angmarth, the Blade of Manwe is alight with hunger for thy flesh this night!"
