The Blue Mountains

[Brinniel]

It was morning when Calentoliel's eyes fluttered open. She found herself staring up into the eyes of Radagast.
He smiled, and then said, "Good morning, Calentoliel. You do seem to be feeling better. We all feared that you were lost to us."
Calentoliel smiled back wearily, and then with the support of Radagast, slowly sat up. The aching returned to Calentoliel's head, reminding her what troubles she had stumbled upon, but oddly enough the rest of her body felt somewhat renewed. She felt much better than she ever remembered being.
Calentoliel looked around the room she was in, seeing old faces. Rothalle, Mattius, Faye, and Olo. She also saw Tom Bombadil smiling at her and suddenly realized that it was his house that she was currently in. But there was one face missing, and Calentoliel's heart nearly stopped knowing this. Where was Endereth?
She opened her mouth to ask this, but once again nothing came out. Instantly, Calentoliel was reminded of the dark creature that had caused all her troubles, and her anger towards it returned. Once again, Calentoliel looked around the room hoping that she perhaps missed seeing Endereth, but no, she still was not there. It was Tom who answered her silent question.
"Endereth has gone missing. But worry not. Goldberry will see that she is all right."
Still, Calentoliel had her doubts. One is not safe if they are missing. She knew that there was more than the black beast that was a threat to them. She knew what the creature that had attacked was. Most of all, she knew what it could do to Endereth.
Seeing the distress in Calentoliel's eyes, Radagast asked her, "Do you know something, Calentoliel? Do you believe you know what has happened to Endereth?"
Calentoliel closed her eyes, deep in thought. She opened them again and nodded her head yes.
"Won't you tell us?" asked Olo. "Please?"
Calentoliel stared at him blankly. Yes, she wished to tell them her knowledge so much. She knew that she must. It may be the only way to save Ender. But how? She had no voice to tell them. Yet she may never get it back if she didn't. Calentoliel gritted her teeth in frusteration.
