Champignonne watched the two other hobbits leave and smiled after them. She did not know what would happen, but she had to go. She could not go home, and yet she could not go to Rivendell just yet. If only she could find an elf to speak to her. . . .but no. She marched on in silence, the cheery lights of the tavern fading away.

She walked on silently, making sure that nothing was in her way. She thought that maybe she would buy a pony so that she could make it to Rivendell with some sort of company. Somehow, this feeling of isolation did not subside. But with this feeling came another, the feeling of being watched.

Champignonne looked around, her eyes scanning all her surrondings. She suddenly heard a rustle, and whispered, "Who is there?" She turned and saw a pair of catlike eyes staring at her through the murk.

"What do you want?" she asked anxiously.
