The elves gathered together their belongings and followed the pair of elf-boys. Though dark, morning was not far away. They had precious little darkness in which to move before any beast that was about could see them through the open country. Their path wound through low brush and crevices, and some…

They followed a deer trail laying their feet as quietly as they could. The men knew that they were only two in the dangerous forest, even if it was in their natures to give way to merry thoughts.
