[Greendale]

"My good Ent, I am, as my friend Gondolin has said, Anson Hornblower, farmer of the Shire. I have come here to find the ainereg plant, which is the only thing that can save my land from the plague that is ripping it apart. We are unfamiliar to this place, but this is your forest. We beg of you to help us find the plant."

Greendale looked at the small creatures on the ground watching him silently. This was more than just a little unusual, even elves had stopped coming here often. To have a group such as this come into the forest was not one of the smartest ideas, but they seemed to be in need. If it hadn't have been urgent they would not be here at all.

"Hrum, I cannot say that coming into Fangorn forest was a good idea. It is dangerous, maybe not so much here, but the plant that you seek is deeper in, and if an ent did not accompany you, you are surely not coming back!

The group looked at one another, feeling a little uncomfortable at this point. Greendale smiled and bent down a little, though he was still as stiff as a board.

"Do not be troubled. Hoom, I can take you to the ainereg if you wish, if you tell me a bit about your country...The Shire did you say?" The folk below nodded slowly, straining their necks to look up at the ent. " The ainereg goes by many names, and ainereg is not commonly known by ents, but I have studied the plants of this forest. You are in luck!

He smiled at them, stretching his branches by his sides. It had been a long time.

"My name is Andunériel of Rivendell. These are my companions Marsillion, Elenlith (though we mostly call her Elen) and Peony Fields. We come from Eriador, and would not have come to your lands if it would not have been an emergency."

The ent looked at them for a moment, not wanting to be too quick.

" Hrum, what sort of emergency would bring you here?" He asked, more than a little interested.

"Well" answered one of them. "We are looking for plant that will heal our lands of a terrible disease. It is the Ainereg that we seek inorder to save it. That is why we have come."

The ent once again went into a silent lapse of thought. Searching his memory for the plant Ainereg, but he could not remeber anything about it.

" Little friends, I can not remeber any mention of a plant named the Ainereg in this forest. Hoom, are you sure that is its proper name?"

The small group looked at eachother, not sure what to say to this.
