Day 16-18: October 31-Nov. 2:

Day sixteen through eighteen of being in Middle Earth were even more boring than days twelve through fifteen. Adonnenniel wasn't sure how the days could be more boring, but they were. By day eighteen she had gratefully reached the base of the mountain she would have to cross in order to reach Gladded Fields. She made her camp that night excited for the next morning. She knew crossing the mountain could be dangerous. She sent prayers to the woman who brought her to Middle Earth for safe passage. She was unsure if the prayers were heard; she fervently hoped they had been.

That night, rest was hard to come by. To pass away the time she told herself stories of the stars. Unknowingly, she told Elvish stories about the stars, though there were some human ones woven in.

Day 19: November 3:

The nineteenth day awoke with a bright sun. The brightness of the sun gave her hope her prayers had been heard. Of course, just to be safe she reiterated them. She took a deep breath, hitched her pack onto her back and took her first step onto the mountain.

Day 20-25: Nov. 4-9:

As she climbed, Adonnenniel gradually noticed a change in the terrain. The greens creeped to brown; the brown dragged into rocks and the rocks slowly became covered in snow. The days passed sluggishly through her climb. Most nights were spent in caves with little in the way to keep her warm, though as an elf much was not needed. The descent was much faster than the ascent, but tougher in ways too. She had to be careful picking her way through the snow and rocks.

Day 26: Nov. 10:

This, the last day of her journey on the mountain, found Adonnenniel at the base of the mountains, on the mouth of a tributary to River Anduin. Not wanting to start a river journey in the middle of the day, she decided to make camp, using the day as a rest day. Finding the land fruitful, she was able to gather a nice meal of berries and roots. The night passed swiftly and soon began a new day.
