Departure to Rohan



Today I walked to my mailbox again. I really hoped that I got a mail today. It is now nearly 4 weeks at least ago that I heard anything of the Red company and their journey. I remembered their departure here very well. I was going to stay here, but the first few days I have made with them. We all gathered by the southern gate, the most logical place for a journey south.  When we were all gathered, Adilyr led us a few hundred meters from the town. There Arstelle led the company away to the destination. Then we galloped on horses and ponies in different colors and seizes under hills and over hills in the land of Bree. There weren't any difficulties, since it was a quiet area there. And we took breaks only in the evening to pass the night. And the next morning, we were riding again.

 

but suddenly stopped arstelle, at the second day. Bree-land was not so big and with horses you could easily make it to its borders in 2 days. She pointed to a very large hill in the area that streched out before us. "There is the old watchtower of amon sûl!" She called. "It is here that we part from the road!" But it was also here that i was going to leave them to return to Bree. I waved to them until the company disappeared behind a hill. I looked for some time yet, but i did not see them back. 

 

And here I am in Bree, to watch the borders with the few of us who stayed in the absence of the company. I felt some happiness, since after a month, I found finally a letter in the mailbox. The letter was closed with a seal of the lonely mountain. Probably written by Diringul... When turning the envelope, I saw some words written: Journey to Rohan, Part I. I opened the envelope and investigated the report from the other end of middle-earth closely. I smiled since I could only assume that everyone was alive.
