Solondil sat on the soft, black earth, opposite Arilewen and Rostion and the others testing their voices against the roaring silence of the night. His arms balanced on his high knees, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes both resting steadily on the flames lapping at the star-scattered sky above. As his fellow elves serenaded the fallen dusk, the knot in his stomach, the warning in his mind, the rending of his heart seemed to melt away into the flickering shadows bred of the flame.

He sat still and silent, never flinching, never faltering; his eyes like two set jewels full of firelight. Tomorrow, tomorrow the real journey would begin.
