Lostlondwen had just been looking over her shoulder, watching the blonde elf riding his horse Melimo, when a huge stone came between them and cut the narrow path in two. "Callo!" she screamed. Lostlondwen heard a cry from far below. The mist lay thick around the company, and she lost sight of the elf.

Rowan had run towards her and asked if she could see him. Lostlondwen had not answered him.

Lostlondwen wasn't sure about what she was feeling when she saw Callo falling down from the cliff. All was like a dream, a bad dream, that never ended. And so she was trapped in a world full of grief and pain. The worst thing was, that she couldn't do anything to stop it.

Five long days had passed since Callo had fallen. Elentari, who had stayed behind to find Callo's horse, Melimo, arrived at the fifth day after the occurrence, and they all where invited to a big feast in Elrond's house, that night.

The feast was a really merry event. The members of the company seemed to enjoy themselves. They were all happy to be off the road for a while and just relax. Lostlondwen was as usual troubled, and went after Elentari, when she saw her leaving for some fresh air.

"Hi," she said in a low voice.

Elentari looked up, and saw the other elf stirring into the dark.

"Are you out for som fresh air?" Elentari asked, after a while.

"I guess so," she replied.

Elentari gave a nod. "Me too, I guess"

Lostlondwen smiled and gave a laugh. Elentari joined her, and fell silent again.

"I had my doubts, you know," Lostlondwen threw in. "But not any more," she continued. "I guess I didn't know who I was fighting for. My mother? You? Me? But now I know. It's for us, in Middle-earth."

Elentari looked at Lostlondwen in suprise. "You found that out just now?" she said in a curious way.

Lostlondwen smiled, and laughed again. Elentari looked serious for a minute, but couldn't hold her mask anymore. And they both laughed so loud and long that they almost got out of breath.

"Your quite funny, aren't you?" Lostlondwen burst out.

Elentari didn't get the time to reply before Lostlondwen had walked to the door.

"Nice chatting with you Elentari," she said before she slipped through the door, and walked to her room.
