Dunaire closed his eyes and sighed, then quickly reopened them so as not to trip or run into anything. He looked back once, but all he saw was the golden leaves of the mallorn trees, for they had passed the borders of Lothlorien. He did not look back again.
He knew that there would likely be orcs or goblins along the road, and hoped that they would only be an annoyance, not a major problem. He would prefer to avoid fights, but didn't have much hope that it would always be possible. He overheard Rostion talking to Tanroth, speaking feelings that Dunaire shared.
"Do you know the lands we pass through? It's been so long since I left Lorien, and I was thinking of the perils along the way. Sauron's arm has gone long, and Saruman's treachery has shaken me. I fear the unknown road we are treading."
