Anarya looked up from her feet as they walked. Rudhchamion had taken lead and all she needed to do was follow him.
In the east a clearing broke through the trees, a rare sight in Mirkwood. They continued till they reached it. The sun shone down merrily in the little glade. The place was green as Varda's thumb and scattered with flowers, bright and vivid. A river ran through it, clear as glass so you could see to the bottom where sandy colored rocks lay, waiting to be picked up by the current and moved down stream. It was beautiful. Anarya felt her breath leave her lungs with awe. "Oh," She said softly just staring. "You like it?" Rudhchamion asked walked up to the stream and dipping his hand in the water for a drink. "Yes," She said with a smile. "It is pretty isn't it," He said looking around him. Anarya made her way over to the little river and looked at her reflection. She was not normally vain or self concious about her looks but when she looking at her face in the swift water, she was apalled. She was a mess, dirt smudged her cheeks and forehead, and her hair, she didn't even want to go there. Feeling frustrated that Rudhchamion had not pointed out the stick lodged in one of her once golden curls, she dove her head into the current. She came up, hair dripping wet, to the sound of Rudhchamions laughter. She looked over at him. He sat in the grass chuckling at her. "Well it was your fault you didn't tell me I looked this terrible," She said feeling a traitorous smile edge across her mouth. She rolled her eyes in mock frustration and turned back to the water, peering into the glassy stream. Suddenly something caught her eye. Something glinted silver in the water on the river floor. She reached into the water and pulled the little silver thing out. She held it to the sun, the little amulet like thing shining. A silver coin it seemed with an ivory white hand in the middle. "Eh," Said Rudhchamion, catching sight of the curious object, "What have you got there?" He took it from her fingers and looked at it closely. "Hmm," He mumbled after a moment of staring at it, "I believe our mortal character seems to have fogotten something,"
