Amandur

After procuring a room Amandur went upstairs to his room, the innkeeper had promised to send someone up with his supper. On entering the room he had went straight to the window as requested it afforded a good view of the wooded area to the side and rear of the inn. The moon cast an eerie glow over the wooded area sending shivers down his spine.

A loud knock on the door drew him from his watch. He opened it to find a rosy cheeked young hobbit woman standing in the hallway holding a bowl laden with lamb stew and two large crusty slices of bread and butter. "thank you!" he smiled carefully taking the plate from her. "will there be anything else sir?" she enquired, "No, that will be all thank you." The young hobbit nodded and hurried off down the hall.

Amandur sat by the window as he ate his supper, watching the steady stream of people coming and going from the inn, his eyes drifted to the downs in the direction that Léspheria had rode out on that morning, he wondered were she was and what she was doing. He found himself feeling glad that she was not here, he know how much it pained her to felt the negative emotions of others especially pain, maybe Lóthaniel was right to keep the truth from her. The sudden canter of hoofs and a loud whinny brought his attention back to the area surrounding the inn. Hanasian he whispered seeing Backveil galloping up the grassy knoll.

Pushing his plate aside, he made his way down stairs, His dark eyes scanned the smoky common room trying to locate the Ranger. He soon found his sitting at a table at the far end of the room. Hanasian raised his Tankard in silent greeting, Amandur inclined his head slightly and walked towards them. Hanasian was not alone Maethor was with him , Hanasian pushed out a chair on his left and Amandur sat on it as Maethor acquired him an ale.

Amandur leaned back in his chair and took out his long grey wooden pipe and pack it with some Southlinch he had acquired in Bree, puffing gently as he light the weed, once lit he turned his seat slightly so he could rest his feet on the lower bar of the empty chair beside him.

'She is near, I feel it!"

Amandur sat up at these words nodding his agreement, he now felt that Léspheria had felt Naiores presence in the vicinity of the inn and the disturbed earth among the trees had been hers.

"Are not the rumours false? Is she truly an elf maid?" Maethor muttered from beneath his tankard, Both Amandur and Hanasian looked to each other and shook their heads "no the rumours are not false, An elf maid by all accounts to look on but I've see the pits of the revennor, the unspeakable horrors she inflicted on her own cousin and many more besides" Amandur sighed, as the vision of Léspheria's mothers broken body filled his mind. He took his pipe from his mouth and took a long drew of his ale in the hope to wash away that vision.

"How do we now find her?" The younger ranger sighed

"By keeping a watchful Eye on...." he stopped as Vanwe approached their table and set down three fresh ale's. He studied her face as she asked them if they would like anything to eat.

"I have already eaten and can strongly recommend the stew," he smiled as he leaned back on his chair and draw on his pipe, blowing smoke rings into the air as he waited for Hanasian and Maethor to order or decline the offer and let the elf woman return to her chores.
