Énien sat tall in the saddle of the colossal black horse she had equired before leaving Bree. She looked over at Rave who had ridden up beside her.

She answered the woman's question. "If it is that I seem so sure of myself around him, it is because I know this part of the world well. There are many dangerous things here. My own brother was slain by orcs near these very trails-" her voice cut off.

"Rivendell. That is my home. Though it has been many months since I have been home."
Énien gave a slight smile. "I am Énien, what name is it that you go by?"

Énien slowed her horse even more. She thought to herself. "I feel something coming" she looked uneasy, but still managed to keep her thoughts to herself.
