Everdawn has just left Hobbiton.
Silmaril

The webs were worse than Arië's worst nightmares. Worst of all, their friends were trapped by them. Reynion was hurt, and Eruwen and Taurëwen were strung up in the webs, Gilbereth was on the ground, and for a fleeting second, Arië feared that he was dead. Ainemetion had tapped Gilbereth with his foot. "not dead" he muttered. Arië could still see Ainemetion's contempt for him.

"You must not be unkind to him Ainemetion, we are all on the same side now." said Arië reaching for her arrows. She glanced at Reynion who was obviously in pain. "Im no healer, but you look pretty bad, are you sure you can fight." Reynion said nothing but took out his weapons.

The next few seconds passed very quickly. Arië was now cut off from Ihwesta and Ceros, but was left with Ainemetion, and the two were as well cut off from the others. Which made Arië very anxious. There then came a voice out of the woods, "What a pretty little thing we have here... hair of snow, not fit for a whole meal... She has a friend... that makesss usss a meal..."

Arië turned to see a huge spider handing from her left. She was shocked by its sudden arrival that all she could do was stand still. Ainemetion took no time in jumping onto its back and shooting its eyes. Arië then sent a flurry of arrows into the spider's torso.

"Well?" Ainemetion asked, looking slightly pleased with himself. "Get back to the others." she replied, this however was no easy task. There were many many spiders in this thicket, so the only way to get through them before becoming a meal was to kill them. She was surprised at how good a team she and Ainemetion made. She had never fought beside him before.

Still isolated they were surrounded by the trunk of an oak tree. When she was met by the screams of Ihwesta. Who charged at a spider which had surprised them form behind the oak.
