*****DALE - Girion*****
"Wake up!" Girion called grinning, despite the grumbles of the dwarves.
He didn't allow his sudden joy to be crushed by the gruff words of the dwarves. He felt free now from the stiffling forest, even though they had not yet emerged from under it's boughs. There was a beauty about it, it was true, but it was a stagnant, almost suffocating beauty and Girion's admiration for the forest was tainted by his fear of it. He could not help but remember the supernatural chill of the nights and a spasm shuddered through his leg.
