The rest of the night had passed without foes returning to the camp. The dawn had come. At lastÉnien thought to herself. The new sun crept over the trees in the clearing in which they were camped. Énien had spent most of the night on further watch. For she seldom grew tired, even without days of sleep.
A stream flowed to the side of the clearing and through the forest. Close by her horse was drinking in it. quite an adventure we have had"Melliant" she said to the giant black horse, "You are melliant." Finally she had decided on a name.
Énien's young face peered passed the horse and to the sleeping company. "I should wake them, it will be a long day" She told the horse. And went over to them. "It is dawn! wake, the sun smiles today! no longer does the menacing star stalk us overhead, be mooving!" she said, but she doubted any knew what she meant by the star.
