***Chapter 5: On the Road Again***
The travelers spent five days at the house with Rafe Valentine and his wife Leeandra, the Daughter of the River. Finally they left because they had a quest to complete and also because they now knew enough about Rafe's latest scheme to get arrest for their knowledge, and they felt it would be really bad if Middle-Earth was destroyed because the Ring Bearer was in prison. "Well goodbye.", Rafe said to them, "Sure I can't talk ya into helping me? We could all make a lot of money off of this. Besides, your Ring would be very helpful, Trance." "We must get going.", Trance told him, trying to ignore his mention of the Ring. Even alone in the Forest she didn't want to speak of it. Farewell Rafe Valentine and farewell Lady Leeandra." Trance lead all the others away, feeling a slight pang of regret that she was leaving a place of safety and heading back to the more dangerous road.
