Elrohir went to bed pondering about what he had learnt.
'My guess was correct,' he mused, 'the Eastern side of the Misty Mountains is faster yet, but what about the Hollin gate?'
He had heard from his father about the splendour of Moria and Eregion in the days of Celebrimbor, could they not use that secret entrance to their advantage?
"The dark of Moria is no place to lose ourselves at such a time," said Elladan as he read his brother's thoughts.
"That maybe so, but going in the easy way would be tougher still," replied Elrohir.
"There may be other ways yet," reminded his brother.
"I wish we were leaving tonight, I cannot bear the thought of those vile creatures near her," he sighed, and then retired for an early rest.
