[Brinniel]

As Borin led the group on, Calentoliel kept her head down. When Mattius glanced back towards her, she averted her eyes from him.
Mattius had led them to a dwarf. Calentoliel hated dwarves. No, she didn't hate them. She despised them. All her life, Calentoliel had been taught to never trust dwarves and their ways. This was the closest she had ever been to one and she did not like it one bit.
But Calentoliel did not complain. Though her strength was returning, she would not fully recover until she had a good night's rest. She did not trust this dwarf, Borin, but Mattius and Radagast seemed to, and she trusted them enough. Besides, this shelter would be safe and dry, and Calentoliel knew she would sleep well there as long as the dwarf kept his distance from her.

Calentoliel sighed. She had not known any of her companions for 24 hours, yet she already felt separated from them. She was a girl that though appeared to be an elf, did not have the personality of one. She had no true identity of herself, not even of her orgin. If she did not belong with the elves, was it the men she belonged with? No, she was even more different than them. While they desired power, she wished for the opposite. She did not belong with the hobbits, for they were too cheerful and careless, which was nothing like her. Calentoliel didn't even consider the dwarves. She was not like them and would never be. And as for the Istari? Calentoliel paused in her thoughts. Though she did not have the appearance of one, she definately had equal powers to a wizard. Calentoliel had never really thought of this, for she had never met a wizard before. Until now.
Calentoliel studied Radagast carefully as she continued walking. If she found a chance to talk to him at all, perhaps she could find out more about her identity. Wizards were supposed to be wise, after all, and surely he would know something.
Calentoliel glanced back at the mysterious woman behind her. The woman had kept to herself, hardly saying any words at all. She seemed to be hiding many secrets and Calentoliel couldn't help but wonder what they were. Before she whipped her head forward, she saw the woman stare back at her. Calentoliel shook her head in disbelief. Strangely enough, there was something in the woman's bright green eyes that Calentoliel had recognized.
