"Dear Eru, Ceros," breathed Ihwesta at last. "What do we do?" Ceros placed his hand on her shoulder and looked again to the nightmarish sight before them. So this was it, the thing that had threatened their realm and slaughtered the forests beauty into a state of darkness. His grip tightened slightly on her shoulder as the other came up behind the.

He heard a gasp come from behind him, it was Taurëwen, “What….” She trailed off. They were too shocked to speak; too shocked to move.

Ceros’ eyes looked around the great monstrosity, Trolls and orcs walked freely in the sun light… This can not be…but it is...how?” Such an ugly thing marring such a beautiful area. And what delivery was hidden in its dankest, darkest chambers. Ceros dreaded to think.

“We must go back,” he said finally, he turned but the other stood still.

“Ceros?” questioned Taurëwen sternly, “Go back to what? Go back to a realm that will be ravaged and mutilated by these creatures? We must scout the are for more…more”

“More information.” Finished Arië coming up from the rear. She stared momentarily in awe and Ceros saw a stray tear sweep down her cheek.

“I know,” he replied, “but we must get out of sight; we are not indistinguishable to their eyes or any others. We do not know what else could be watching.” He finished softly making his way back into the gloomy forest. The others followed slowly.

“So we have found it,” he said firmly when they had all arrived. “We have found…”

“We have found the misery of this world, the evil that no one whished to uncover.” Ihwesta said defiantly.

“We need to look around, scout.”

“Yes, I know Gilbereth,” Ceros said, he thought for a while. Did they not realise if they were captured it would be the end.

The enemy would not set them free! They would not bargain with their lives. And if they died no one would no of the darkness in the forest. But what of Reyn, if they were taken or if they had to fight his life might…..it was even worth lingering on.

But they must find what was causing such destruction and the decision would be let to him.

“We will scout the area,” he said finally.
