Reighn's head shot up as pain and longing suddenly filled her. She blinked, stunned at the drastic change in emotion she felt coming from the one who carried the power. Late last night Reighn had walked the ley-lines of Middle Earth, Learning their paths and also looking for those who were connected to them in some way. As a result she had learned that the woman she sought was in a place called Ithilin. Reighn had then connected her sense to Jairah so that she could watch over the woman constantly as she traveled.
The pain and dispair that Jairah was feeling was upsetting the spirit of the child she carried, an extreemly bad thing since a child born with the sense - or the Power in any form - could end up being aborted if the spirit was stressed too much.
Another thing that Reighn noticed was that Jairah was being guarded by the spirit of a warrior. She sometimes felt him looking in on eight others, but when the spirit had felt the distress of Jairah and her lover, as well as the danger bearing down upon them, he had stayed and was now helping to keep the child's spirit in balance.
Nine beings in Middle Earth had a Guardian Angel that they didn't know about.

Reighn's eyes fluttered open as she felt her horse come to a stop, his ears going back slightly and flicking about, sensing something she could not. Reighn streched her senses, and felt something evil headed straight for Clover. She heeled her horse around to face a pair of close standing trees, chanting furiously as her fingers spun her spell together and set it between the trees. The portal expanded expanded to full size in a matter of minutes.
"Clover! Go Through!"
"Why?"
"Go! No time to explain! Something doesn't want you here, and so you must go back. Wait for me at the house, I'll call for you should I need you."
Clover nodded, still confused as her mare suddenly reared and bolted through the portal. Whatever it was that was after the girl headed for the portal, causing Reighn to clench her jaw and cause the portal to collapse. The being stopped and turned to stare at her with enormous eyes. It was hunched over and looked like a mix between a human and a frog. Coloured black and a sickly orange, jagged teeth bared in her direction. The creature leapt at her and her stallion reared as Reighn conjured a lightning storm in those few moments. Clouds blackened the sky and a bright white bolt of lightning struck the earth between Reighn and the creature, causing it to howl in pain as it collided with the bolt, before collapsing to the ground.
Reighn gripped the reigns of her stallion and leaned forward. "Run Arcollo!"
The horse bolted and began to run. Reighn followed the ley-line they currently followed and discovered that it led to a place called Hobbiton. Hopefully the Hobbits liked outsiders, especially ones bringing rainstorms with them.
