No reason you can't start now. Tell the story:

But the road proved deadly and her parents were lost to an accident upon it, and Indil was lost and alone, and she was afraid.

What accident? How do they die? Does she see it? Is she traumatized? How does she eat once they die-- from the saddlebags/ packs? She can even hide from Erebemlin's group for some little-girl-reason.
Dive in, girl!
Old timers: I've lost the date, by the way. Does anybody remember what day it was, and when it was that day...? Is it springtime? Not much for Eledhwen to eat on the roadside. She'll be hungry-- especially by the time Bergil comes by.
