Maerwen sulked. Her mother had sent her out of the house to get some fresh air, when all she wanted to do was finish her weaving! Her 60-year-old muleish brain almost rebelled. She was so close! Oh, well, the outdoors weren't too bad. She sat on a bench, near the path leading to the Ford, and began to work on her flute skills.

Laur rushed foreword. "I hear music!" she shouted, hand in hand wit her brother. Glauron was trudging and shivered. He had gotten his pants in the bag, and gave Saerwen the shirt. "We're almost there," he whispered.

Maerwen was so engrossed in her flute, she didn't notice the travellers at first. When she did, though, she dropped her flute with an "Oh!" They had crossed the Ford safely, they must be friends. And they looked bad off! She ran for home, yelling for her mother.

Glauron looked up. "Wait!" he shouted. "Please wait! Get Nimmir Ar-Fuir!"

Maerwen stopped, then nodded, and ran off in a slightly different direction.

Glauron looked at Saerwen and sighed. "Almost there," he whispered again. "Come on... lets get home..."

Maerwen rushed to the home of Eramrath and Nimmir Ar-Fuir. She knocked, and soon found the woman. "M'lady!" she gushed, "There are four Elves who have just arrived, that wish to see you! A male, a female, and two twins. They look travel-worn, and all have on slave collars. They had me send for you!"

Nimmir blinked and came out. "Slow down," she whispered. She knelt down. "Please... what did you say?"

Maerwen repeated the message, this time slower and more enunciated.

Nimmir shivered and took her hands. "Alright... show me."

Maerwen nodded. "They're by the Ford," she said. "I can't go with you -- I have to go!" She wiggled free of her hands and ran off.

Nimmir sighed. "Oh Glauron," she whispered and picked her skirts up, racing towards the Ford. She spotted the child. "LAUR!" she screamed and rushed foreword, picking her up in her arm, and wheeling him around.

Saerwen stood a little apart from this. Who was this woman? But both twins embraced their aunt with great joy. They had never expected to see her again!

"Oh my darlings," she whispered, sobbing and looked at him. "Is Naru with you?" she whispered, hopefully. Please let Elrond be wrong!

They shook their heads. "No," Laur said. "He's ..." She would say no more. Instead, she looked to Glauron and Saerwen for comfort.
