Ceros' words to Arië earlier were comforting. The young elf had finally decided that yes, more of them perhaps would die. Ihwesta in the meantime had gotten the company on their way again, and had told Arië to stay with Ceros and the others in case that Arië would be needed to help find Ihwesta. As much as she did not like the idea of Ihwesta going off alone, she thought that it was the only way. There was no sense in having two trackers killed off, whatever their amount of skill.

Ihwesta returned, and told them of what lay ahead. They worked out that that it was just a simple fog. Eruwen was in the middle of speaking, and Arie was to mixed up in her own thoughts until she was brought back to hear Eruwen say; "So either way, we’re done for." Arië's eyes widened, Its not true, we will get out of this, or destroy it.

She was now getting angry. If it werent for the other elves, we would be safer. Cowards, and they better than i at a great many things, refused Ceros and the king, because of what? Becuase they valued their lives?. Oh, if I could tell them something right now! Had they truly valued their lives, they would have come with us. Save myself a lot of grief thats for sure. If it werent for us, these spiders may consume the whole population of Greenwood. Still, if we are defeated, our bodies will lay forever in the mirk of the woods, and disaster will overcome Greenwood. No failure is not an option. She was now frowning deeply to herself.

Ceros asked for the opinions of the other elves, and Gilbereth offered, “ I think we should try to wait it out” Gilbereth suddenly said. “ If we try to go through it, whatever it is that’s hiding in there can pick us off one bye one.” Arië looked at him and spoke aloud. "Gilbereth has a point, fog clears... usually. And it may give us a vantage point should anything try to attack us."

Ceros seemed to disaagree with the two of them. "No Arië, There is a chance that the fog is thinner, or even non-existant a few yards away, further than Ihwesta has gone." Ceros had a point also. Arië looked back at Gilbereth as if to say, Well, we tried diddnt we?

Ceros and Ihwesta headded the company with Arië taking up the rear. Since they had left their camp site, Arië's fitted bow was in her hands. She would not let an ambush like that frighten her again, or take one of her friends. She was taking way to much notice to see what was in front of her. Which was almost nothing which could be seen, becuase she went head first into Ainemetion's back, and was lucky that she did not impail him with her arrows.

"Sorry Ainemetion!" she said getting up from the ground. "I was to busy watching I-" She saw Gilbereth's head jerk to the left. This fog is really starting to get to people. Arië thought an accepted Ainemetion's hand to help her up.
