Wren paused, and searched the room with her eyes. A few of the men burst into laughter, calling Rangar’s statement a jest. But the ranger’s eyes didn’t change.

“You’ve got to be kidding,” said one of his friends. Rangar faced the man.

“Anyone, coming?” he drawled.

Wren looked around again. This is it, she thought. The way to Harad passes through Gondor, and by ways, Minas Tirith! I could travel with this man, this enigma, and get to Minas Tirith safely! He doesn’t appear to have a horse either, so that won’t be a problem for me. I’m sure others will go as well. This is it! Excited she stood and introduced herself.

“Greetings Rangar. My name is Wren Chambria, noblewoman of Gondor. I am interested in seeing this Seer as well,” she lied. “If you would accept my company I should be of service as,” As a what? she thought, “a guide.” Scattered snickers came at her from around the room. Wren ignored them, and kept a sure face How they’d gape if I had my sword before me. The woman decided though that she would keep her talents a secret until the time came for use. “Yes, a guide. I will show you the way to Harad.” Rangar’s face showed a bit of disbelief, but he cleared it quickly.

“Fine,” he said nodding. “Anyone, uh, else?”
