The room was scented with the sprigs of pine that had been thrown on the fire in an effort to conserve firewood. They danced, and twisted merrily, and sent off sparks like tiny fire works.

Estelle sat close to the fire, but not so close as to block the others, or to let on that she was chilled to the bone. The second meeting was called quite abruptly, for Ivy had important news to tell. Now the small company of Hobbits sat huddled around Melody's fireplace, as they waited for someone to speak.

All were there except for Tom, Melody, and Ivy, and judging by the muffled voices coming from the next room, they were trying to settle something before Ivy told whatever news she had.

Suddenly the three truants who had called the emergency meeting rushed in to the room at once.

"I am sorry to have to desturb you lot again," said Tom, "as I know that we all have a lot to prepare for the journy at hand. But something has come to our attention about the road to Rivendell..."

Melody, Tom, and Ivy, took turns explaining what Ivy had heard learned from the passing dwarves, each repeating one another several times.

"Well, Rivendell... That's not the best place to set out to anyhow," said one hobbit. " I mean who do we know that's even been there? Might be no more than a fairy tale..."

Some of the other hobbits now joined in with agreement, only to be met with the arguements of those who belived the old tales. This won't do at all... Thought Estelle. This is becoming a debate on lore. If things go on like this any longer we will forget the purpose of our meeting.

"Well real or not," said Estelle, who had decided to put the group back on track . "The road to Rivendell will be too dangerous if we can find it at all. But we cannot just abandon our purpose, so what shall we do?"
