Sting Aidwain

Aidwain and Veryadan reached their small camp and instantly fell asleep with Veryadan on guard,in the morning they set out for Amun Sul where they were going to meet the rest for the company.They rode at a an easy place stopping for a meal in the afternoon,but it was still early evening when they reached the southern foot of Weathertop at the point nearest the Great East Road. Veryadan looked up toward the plateau. ‘Well, there’s a small track I can see winding it’s way up,’ he said pointing toward a broken line zig-zagging up the hill. Looks like we’ll have to lead the horses up.’

It nearly took an hour or so to set a camp under a bunch of trees .For their night meal they decided to hunt some rabbits instead of having their fruits and dried meats. Aidwain liked the idea for he had not used his bow since they set out from Bree.He crept along the zig-zag path until he came to an opening in the trees ,here he hoped to find some coneys for them ,he slowly crouched and moved in the trees,and waited ,after about twenty minutes he heard a noise in the bushes ,looking in the direction he saw a small rabbit searching for food,slowly he took out a arrow and fitted it to his bow and drawing it he killed the rabbit in a instant.

Pleased with himself Aidwain returned to camp ,but as he moved out of the trees he heard a distinct noise ,not of his own feet but of someone else who as if was running,the elf hastily returned to camp and told this to Veryadan who looked at him gravely and suggested that they set two for watch tonight......
