Journey to Bree
Aidwain and his companion Silruth eat their supper peacefully as ,they caught sight of arrival of a Ranger, two Elves, and a man from the Riddermark into the Inn.Aidwain and Silruth both invited them to have supper as they were alone through most of their journey and now they wished for some company ,here they found out that the company had arrived here due to the orders of the King,so wishing to help them as they could they told them about the increasing number of the orcs and trolls near the Angle -The Old fastness of the Rangers.
Veryadan’s ( the ranger's) face was grim as he heard the news they brought. ‘Travel with us, if you will,’ he had offered Silrûth and Aidwain. ‘We are also bound north, at the behest of the King. He has had some reports of the disquiet in that area, though I do not think he knows the extent to which this ripple of shadow has spread.’ Tarondo one of the elves nodded at the invitation as Envinyatar his sister continued. ‘Two extra sets of eyes and blades would be welcome. And you need not fear that we might slow you down. We will head up the Greenway to Bree at first light.’
And so Aidwain and Silruth now joined the company travelling North .
Four days of hard riding with only short, cold camp stops along the way brought them to Andrath, the narrow passageway between the Barrow-downs and the South Downs, through which the Greenway passed, heading north. A day and a half further and the six found themselves passing in through the West Gate, the welcoming archway and windows of the The Prancing Pony now well within their sights .
Aidwain was very relieved that they had reached the Inn at last, for four days of non-stop riding had made his body sore,and he wished for some supper and a good night's sleep.He did not wish to go into the common room and speak with anybody.But inside they found two more Rangers sitting at a table as if waiting for their arrival.Veryadan went and talked with them while Aidwain and Tarondo arranged for a table and few chairs.
There Aidwain and his companions waited for their supper .....
