It was getting to dark for Aduthondiel to see. "Lights, finally." She sighed with relief. She pulled the hood of her cloak down to let her black hair fall into place. The elf woman was finally happy to find life after all. To think we thought we wouldn't see anyone ever again. She reached down and began to stroke the mane of her horse.
She tied the horse to the nearest tree she could find. She could tell that she no longer needed her thick clothes. Aduthondiel made sure that her sword was hidden in her cloak before she continued walking towards the light. "Hmmmm. The Green Dragon Inn. Sounds welcoming. " It was easy to tell where she came from. The cloak of Eryn Lasgalen was easy to see.
She opened the door and walked in. Suddenly she had to squint her eyes. The darkness outside made it difficult for her to adjust to the light. Aduthondiel looked around and noticed that there was a group of people gathered around a young child who appeared to be telling a story of some sort.
She walked over to the fire and sat down in one of the chairs. She noticed that there was a commotion going on. Now to find Crystal. She walked up to a woman. "Excuse me has a woman by the name of Crystal been here."
"She's up there." Aduthondiel turned to go to where the woman had said. She looked down the hall and saw many doors.
This is where the woman said she was. Aduthondiel knocked on the door. "Crystal are you in there?" She thought she heard footsteps so she pulled the hood over her head to help hide her face.
Aduthondiel had a cut down her right cheek which was healing well. She stood there waiting for the door to open. Surely this is her room.
