Fiesty starts her Journey

Copper waited at Fiesty’s burrow entrance for her to do some last-minute packing. He joked with the scout he had picked to help him guard his aunt on their way to Calenhad. He was Tobo Sackville, a good swordsman, if a little hot headed. He was the son of Folco Sackville- but Copper did not hold that against him.
Copper:  “Women do take a lot of time packin don’t they?” 
Tobo: “It does seem so.”
Copper: “You got eveythin yer need?”
Tobo: “I am packed and ready. Me dad gave me his own sword fer the trip!”
Copper: “That right? That were big of him.”

Fiesty came out then tucking her medicine and the objects she would need for the ceremony she wanted to do into her pack. Then they proceeded toward the bridge to River Lands.
Fiesty: “I did get a letter from Lady Amethyst sayin she has sent an Elven guard to meet us at the bridge.”

Fiesty was wrapped up in her green cloak against the chill of the season. She shivered, but it was more than the chill that brought that on. There were many reports of Drow sightings In the River Lands and Calenhad, and the danger was escalating.
The three travelers got to the bridge and were greeted on the River Lands side by a lovely Elven warrior. She introduced herself as Irime, and she was assigned to accompany them to the Lady Amethyst and back again to the Shire.
Copper and Tobo bowed to the guard and Fiesty saw a glitter in Copper’s eye that made her sigh.
Irime, the Elven Ranger greets the Hobbits
They proceeded through the River Lands country and passed by farms and fertile fields. The wind was balmy and the flowers fragrant in the Druid King’s lands. At one point Fiesty could see Kat’s Gypsy Wagon in the distance and yearned to visit with the elusive lady. But she was committed to her errand and time was precious. Soon they crossed the Memorial Bridge and were in Calenhad. The guard guided them down a path to a handsome home by a beautiful waterfall. Fiesty knocked on the door...
