*Roscheniel wakes up on a bright new in Middle-Earth. There's little birdies chirping and the river babbling and so on. She gets ready for the day and walks outside.
However, something is definitely wrong. There are no people. None at all, no Elves, Humans, Hobbits or Dwarves. There aren't even nasty orcses or vicious wargs taking over the city. NO one.
*Roscheniel makes several confused faces and turns in circles several times, looking everywhere. Nothing, not even noises that people make. She is sure she has gone crazy, or is dreaming.
*Roscheniel yells "HELLO!!!!! HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO!! IS ANYONE OUT THERE?? ANYONE!!!!!"

Linde rides into Rivendell in time to see Roscheniel looking very confused and hear her yell, "HELLOOOOOOOOO" which startles her horse Darien. He whinnies and rears up almost un-seating Linde. Quickly she starts patting his neck and speaking softly to him calming him. She rides up to Roscheniel looking quite amused and speaks quietly."Good morning Roscheniel, is everything alright?"

"HELLO!!!!! HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOO!! IS ANYONE OUT THERE?? ANYONE!!!!!"
Menel starts and is woken up from what seems like a forever sleep by an echo of a familiar voice. She catches herself on a branch as she starts to fall, and jumps down out of the tree to find her horse, Sereg, laying at the base of it. Getting him up, she mounts him and rides into the center of Rivendell, finding it odd that she passes no one along the way. Soon, she starts to see two figures in the middle of a courtyard, one on horse, the other on foot. She rides up to them and halts, simply looking from one to the other.

*Eldarion awakens to the caucophony of an angry birdsong. He had never before heard a birdsong with such emotion, he could almost feel the swirling tension, anger, fear sorrow. He looks up to see a whole flock of crows flying over the gnarled oak which he was resting under.*
*He stands up and shields his eyes against the sun, now he sees a smaller, tighter packed flock of white doves flying. Following the crows? Or fleeing the same disturbance?*
*He looks to the distance where more birds are exiting the trees above a community. The land lies lower here and descends into a valley. He fastens his sword to the saddle of his gelding; Eugor. Leaping up, he sets off towards the disturbance.*
"So, that's Rivendell..."

Suddenly, in the distance, Linde hears another horse approaching. The others don't seem to have noticed it yet.Linde excuses herself and rides in the direction it's coming from.

*Eldarion hears the soft breathing of a horse, similar to that of his own. He rears in his gelding, and guides it into a nearby clearing. He then climbs a tree and notches a black fletched arrow to his longbow and waits silently*
*After a few minutes, a figure appears riding a horse. He draws the arrow back, silently, watching, waiting. The figure draws back her hood and Eldarion notices it is a woman. Momentarily he hesitates, loosening his grip on the arrow, then draws it back again*
*His foot inches left as he seeks to ascertain a better position, but a small acorn dislodges and falls to the ground. He winces, and sees the woman look to the base of the tree, then sees his horse...*

"Linde hears a soft popping noise"
Linde jerks around in the direction the sound came from and sees a horse standing at the base of a tree.She quickly draws her bow and notches an arrow pointing it up in the tree.She speaks loudly,"Show yourself now or I will loose the arrow"!!

*Eldarion smiles and perceives no threat from this woman. He drops down to the ground with elegant grace, and swings his longbow to his back*
"I am sorry to have startled you m'lady. I am Eldarion, and I apologise for acting like a squirrel and hiding up there, but these are turbulent times."
*Eldarion bows low, keeping one eye on the woman's bowstring. He rises and smiles*
"Put up the bow lady, I am no threat"

Linde lowers the bow and remaining cautious,dismounts and walks over to him. "I am very careful.We have to be.There is so much evil afoot around these parts. Where are you coming from and where are you heading"?

*Eldarion studies the stranger*
"My business is my own lady. All I will say is that I was resting atop the hill over there, and I saw a great dispersion of wildlife, heading away from Rivendell. From what I have heard, Rivendell is a sacred place of the Eldar. Surely we have not lost this sanctity also?"

"Not inside Rivendell,no, but outside there is much evil lurking.We have to be very careful when strangers come through here. If I seem distrustful that is why."

Menel turned her eyes to the sky to see a pack of crows flying overhead. Smiling at the sound of it, she turned Sereg towards the direction they'd come from, noticing that it was the same direction the other rider had gone, and headed off into a patchy wooded area.
Her hand rested on Ruin's hilt, she made out two figures up ahead, both on horseback. One was the one that had just left, the other was one that she'd never seen before. She doesn't get too close, but halts Sereg a safe distance away, studying the two.

"No worry lady. I shall be on my way"
*Eldarion mounts Eugor and pulls on the reins and canters off the way he came. As he rounds the first bend he catches a glint from the setting sun, a reflection from metal. Immediately he stops and looks to his left, the heavy shrubbery and the low sun makes for difficult vision. He pulls Eugor away, and trots to the left, keeping his eye on the area where the glint came from.*
*Eldarion pulls a full circle, and intends to come up behind the area from which he has suspicions of. He approaches without his gelding, silently and smoothly*

Menel watched the two carefully.
"No worry lady. I shall be on my way." The man then left and rode off to the right. She arched her brow, but stayed where she was, her body tensing slightly with him leaving. Sereg rose his head slightly with his ears pinned back. Menel patted his neck lightly, calming him, and tightened her hold on Ruin's hilt.
