They arrived just after dawn. Mother and daughter of the Mark, both looking for a new start. 

"Do you think some of the others we knew shall be mere, Mama?" Bronaa had asked, thinking fondly of several folk.

"Perhaps dear. Northgyth said at least that Averel Thane may visit. He was ever a friend in need."

The girl chuckled. "Then I had best brush up on my singing and story telling."

Hildfrith felt a rush of something like joy. It has been so long since Bronaa had laughed.

I had taken an early ride upon Arhel, out along the tree shadowed lane towards the Hobbit lands. Not that I had intention of going further than the stone bridge over the stream. But I was light of mood, and Arhel was restless, and it seemed a good way to start the day. 

And as I rode on to the East, there came a faint song to my ears, and the sound of a flute. A female voice, sweet and yet not the most skilled. To me it sounded as if she were sad. So I halted on the path, sliding off Arhel's back, and looked around.

Story

Parnard stood on the roof of Danel’s home, looking out in wonderment at the light of the setting sun making the treetops shine golden green, when he heard his name called. “Lovely ladies! What a delightful sight to see in the dews of the day," he sang out, jumping down and wandering over. He smoothed his hair back, blinking a little, for the sunlight had dazzled his eyes. Then he looked upon Danel’s companion - it was a Woman!

Swords. What strange things they can be. I mean not the way they can deal death, rather, that some seem to have a life of their own.

 

Meanwhile, in Bancross ...

Bronna was pleased for the short respite from her mother's constant complaints about Captain Denholm. That alone was a good reason for her to carry the supplies Hildfrith had prepared for Ealdbriht, down to the man at the Garrison stables. 

Missing: Part Two

Story

Hild was thinking hard.

It was not as if she didn’t have enough to do with trying to make her supplies last out. Or with talking to folk in the village about dropping in for a drink and some of her ‘special’ onion and bean pottage. It was never as popular as her mutton stew for some reason, but she had to make the meat last.
