Coming to the where the stony path of Weathertop ended with the dirt floor or the Wild, Avari stopped, hesistation coming forth in her mind. In the near distance she saw the dark shapes moving quickly towards the watchtower of Amon Sul. Panic suddenly serged through her body.
"Amin sinta thaliolle e dagor, Aragorn. (I know your strength in battle, Aragorn.) Amin dele ten lle sen. (But I am worried about you and them.)" Avari spoke to herself, watching the darkness intensely. Suddenly, she gave a soft whistle, soft enough for the wind and grass to hear clearly. Over the path came the sound of hooves, galloping hard. Avari held her breath, not knowing whether what she was about to meet, was what she hoped for.
Once it met her eyes, she smiled, walking forward to meet him.
"Mae govannen, Sereg. (Well met, Sereg.)" Avari said quietly, patting the nose of the broad horse that galloped happily to her. She smiled softly, breathing gently. A light shone in her eyes as she stood there for those few moments stroking her friend. Finally, she mounted him, still loving on him much. Kicking him slightly, Sereg took to a quick and light gallop with Avari on the back of him. The horizon in the distance now turned fully black, the stars coming into view. Never turning back, she rode forward, seeming to never rest. In her ears, she heard the piercing scream of the Ringwraiths. Her breathing quickened and her heart sped as she pressed forward; so many thoughts swarmed her mind.
"Aragorn......will you be able to protect them all? And what of Frodo? He is the one I most fear for; so much depends on him. But....he has no idea what he has placed himself in. Alas! Let them come safely to Rivendell!" she prayed, closing her eyes for a mere second, though to her it felt as an age. Harder on Avari pressed as the night rode on with her, and as the threat of shadow grew on her mind.

Under a stony covering, off to the side of the road to Rivendell, Avari layed, half in dream and half awake in reality. Sereg nuzzled her, to keep her awake, and she laughed, patting and getting him away from her at the same time. For that minute, her heart felt as if a burden had been lifted, causing some of the weight to be gone. He walked away and did not come back for a while as she talked amongst herself. She could not help but feel as if she should have stayed with them.
"Should I have gone ahead? " she asked herself. "Yes, yes. It's what was planned from the beginning. But...." she paused, looking to each side of her as if someone watched and listened to her debate. "....the circumstances have changed. It was necessary." Avari shook her head, as if a great pain had shot through it, causing her to slightly lose her mind for a moment.
"Cormamin lindua ele lle. (My heart sings to see thee.)" she said quietly, thinking of him. "Cormlle naa tanya tel raa ar vanimle sila tiri, (Your heart is that of a lion and your beauty shines bright,)" a noise disturbed her from the tall grass. Cautiously, she moved slowly to where it came from, only to be fooled by Sereg trampling and eating. She continued. "But....." Sereg finally came to her, walking with a stumble. She looked up to him with concern in her eyes. Avari first thought of maybe he had stepped upon a piece of stray iron or thorn. She got up, studying her friend thoroughly, unable to find the cause of his pain. Coming closer to him, a perculiar smell flowed through her nostrils.
"Lle holma ve.... (You smell like a......)" Avari said, a expression of anxiety carved into her face. At that moment, Avari froze.
Suddenly, she jumped to her feet, very much alerted now. This feeling of being watched did not leave her for it seemed hours. She watched and waited for anything. At the horizon, the Sun began to rise, lighting the face of the weary ranger.
* * * * * * * *
A chill wind blew as the sun rose above the plains of the Wild. No noise was heard throughout the lonely fields. It sat empty, undisturbed. Only the wind shook the tall grass that was as far as the eye could see. A blue sky began to show as the grey parted.
Surveying the distance she had covered, it surprised her how far she had reached in such a little time. It would have been at least six days with Aragorn and hobbits. But now that it was just her and Sereg......it would take half the time to reach Rivendell!
Looking back to Weathertop, she thought she saw very small shapes moving out from it.
"Finally!" she said with relief, letting out a deep breath of held air. But as Aragorn and the hobbits crossed her mind, so did the Wraiths.
"I wonder what happened to them? Surely I would have awaken in hearing their screams." Avari pondered for a moment. Anxiety grew in her quickly.
As quick as light, Avari mounted Sereg, giving him a firm kick to get a gallop out of him. All day she rode, only stopping once for a short while. The wind blew hard, playing firmly with her gold-like hair. The sun tanned and weathered her face as she pushed forth against it. The cold chilled her face beyond her bones.
In the distance, a lone figure stood upon a black, statured horse. A chill ran through her body as she approached it. There it sat, like a statue, upon the black, powerful horse, watching......waiting. Shrouded in black cloaks, it turned its head, looking to the direction of Avari.
"Ya naa tanya? (Who is that?)" Avari said, halting Sereg in an instant. A fear crept into her mind as she took her sword out, it clanking in the iron sheath. Her breathing quickened and a solemn expression came to her face. Suddenly, she heard it.
