The sun was just beginning to filter through the trees as a rider rode up to the inn. She had been riding all night and she was sore and weary. She shook her head, telling herself to stay awake just a while longer, as she dismounted her horse.
Though the land around the inn was scattered with hobbit holes, the inn itself looked like an elf could stand erect inside. She hurried inside, eager to discover if the inn had any rooms available for a few days.
As she entered the inn, a maiden came over to her, " I am Aman, the innkeeper. Would you be looking for accomodations?"
" Yes, if you have room," she smiled tiredly.
" I believe we do. You are Ms...?" Aman asked.
" Nedieth. Would I be able to have breakfast here?" Nedieth asked uncertain.
Aman laughed," Of course. I will send Ruby over to get you something."
Aman turns and leaves as Nedieth sits down. She looked around. A few people were awake at the inn. She didn't know any of them. A hollow lonely feeling came into her stomach. She wished that she knew someone. She hadn't seen anyone familiar since she had left home.
