By the way, B-W, congratulations on your second shield!! ________________________ It was pretty scary last night. It was cloudy with no stars early on, but then it cleared and got very cold. It's a good thing Peony left that firewood for us. We kept hearing strange sounds in the dark, but nothing came near our fire. None of us got much sleep, but Strider told us stories and even sang a couple of songs to keep our spirits up. We were really happy to see the sunrise. -------------------- Down in the lowest and most sheltered corner of the dell they lit a fire, and prepared a meal. The shades of evening began to fall, and it grew cold. ..The cold increased as darkness came on. Peering out from the edge of the dell they could see nothing but a grey land now vanishing quickly into shadow. The sky above had cleared again and was slowly filling with twinkling stars. ..As night fell and the light of the fire began to shine out brightly, he began to tell them tales to keep their minds from fear. ..As Strider was speaking they watched his strange eager face, dimly lit in the red glow of the wood-fire. His eyes shone, and his voice was rich and deep. Above him was a black starry sky. Suddenly a pale light appeared over the crown of Weathertop behind him. The waxing moon was climbing slowly above the hill that overshadowed them, and the stars above the hill-top faded. [ July 01, 2003: Message edited by: Alatįriėl ]
