As they raced Lilly really for the first time became aware of her surroundings. Everywhere she looked there were rolling hills with the occasional rock or tree dotting it, but for as far as her elven eyes could see it was nothing but luscious farm lands. Every now and then they would pass a farm or two and spot the children chasing after the ducks or chickens. It was a peaceful land, everywhere land and crops were flourishing. People were so kind and generous, they seemed to have no fear of strangers just opening up their doors to anyone that was in need of shelter or care. Yet their seemed to be a hidden darkness, an unnoticeable shadow that was buried deep within the land that she hoped would never emerge. It was getting on toward nightfall as Lilly and Legolas neared the borders of Rohan. "Should we stop to make camp Legolas?" Quickly scanning the land he nodded, "It would be better to try to find a spot to camp while there is still light than to try to find one in the night." So they rode for about seven more minutes before finding a spot they both deemed worthy and safe to stay the night in. Unpacking their supplies Lilly laid out the necessary provisions for the night and Legolas went out to gather firewood. As Lilly looked thought their supplies she discovered that there was a variety of different foods that Théoden had given them. The main thing he had packed was lembas, which surprised her. Then there were carrots, regular bread, apples, little purple berries that she had never seen before, and an assortment of other things. Still she wondered about the berries so she decided to try one. So picking one up she brought it to her nose so as to see if it had a smell, it did not, then as she placing it in her mouth and bit down on it the most amazing flavors burst in her mouth, pineapple, blue berries, apples, peaches, and many others. Savoring the last bits of juice Lilly wondered how such a small food could contain such an array of tastes. Putting that aside she began to worry about Legolas, he had been gone for a while now and it was not like him to be slow. Calm down Lilly I'm sure it's nothing. He probably couldn't find much wood, that's all. She just kept saying that to herself. Then just as she was about to go out and start looking for him, Legolas came out of the forest humming merrily to himself. Legolas, Lilly thought to herself. "How did you fare?" "Very well, I found enough wood to last us the night. What did Théoden send along with us?" "The necessaries but this is a treat." She said this as she held out one of the little purple berries that she had tried earlier. "Here try one." Taking the berry from her Legolas repeated the same steps as Lilly had done. First he put it to his nose to see if there was any smell then he popped into his mouth. Almost at once his face lit up. "This is extraordinary, so many flavors yet so small a thing." "One of the many mysteries of Edoras." "Should we start the fire or wait till it gets a bit darker?" "Now would be nice, the fire would be comforting in the growing darkness."
