The
Elf walked silently towards his favorites spot in all of
Lorien; the Silverlode. The peace and tranquility of the forest and teh mingled noise the rushing stream made him at ease.
Glirdingo just sat down, to take an afternoon nap when something shiny in the stream caught his eye.
He got up and walked over to it, for it had got snagged in the root of tree which was protrudinng out of the bank. It as then that he noticed that it was bottle.
"That's peculiar" he thought to himself.
"What would a bottle be doing floating down the Silverlode?"
He bent down and grabbed the bottle without losing his balance once. He inspected the bottle carefully.
"Nothing out of the ordinary." But there was something about the bottle that felt mysterious. He decided to pull off the label of the bottle and see if there was something on the back. And there was. This is what it said:
If you are a great adventurer in your heart, leave all that you have and come. Come to Dorwinion on the banks of the Sea of Rhun. You will there embark on your life's greatest adventure, with a prize to be won. Come alone and bring with you only these things.
He read and re-read the message three times before he was certain that this was no hoax. He rushed off back to the great city in the heart of Lothlorien to gather belongings and to set off to start this wonderful new adventure.
"Hmmm, it says to bring:
Quote:
2 sets of clothing
2 weapons of your choice
1 length of rope
Food and water rations
1 novelty item (must not be on the above list and must be carriable)

."
He scrambled around his room, trying to gather his belongings in a sack. He grabbed an
extra set of clothing (deep green to blend in with the forest), along with his grey elven cloak which was fastened with the malorn leaf, like most cloaks were in Lorien.
He grabbed all his rations of Lembas and a gray length of rope made only in Lorien For his weapons he grabbed a
bow and quiver of arrows as well as a a short sword along with his walking stick.
He took one last look around his lovely little home and set off out the door for the sea of Rhun, not know what to expect, but excited for a grand adventure.
