Logan was well aware that a search party was in progress. His first call of duty was to find them and bring himself and his crew up to speed on their search. Both search parties were linked, but by what, Logan was not quite sure. He found it odd that a father who was fighting for his own daughters freedom would so easily give up another childs freedom. He surveyed the members standing in the opening. Many, if not all of them, were weary. It would be days before they could fully rest. He hoped they were up for the task. "We shall replenish our energy and leave in an hour. Who wants to come is more than welcome." He announced to the group. With that said, he reached into his satchel and produced a portion of food for himself. He sat down and slowly ate while plans formulated in his mind.

"We are far from Rohan and we have so little time." Marylyn spoke. "We shall need to leave at the earliest convenience. We have no time to lose. I dare not think of what has become of the princess."

Areanne nodded grimly. The Wrath had settled itself now that the danger had passed.
"Come along then. North. It is noon now, yes?" she looked up and judged their direction. The sun setted in the West, so North was...
She started North towards Rohan, mentally mapping a route through Gondor and Lorien.

"The ground will be covered swiftly on horse back." Marylyn whistled sharply and waited mere seconds for her steed to approach. Marylyn mounted her horse quickly, stopping only to pass some sugar cubes to him. With little encouragement the horse began to pick its path through the trees.

Oldin looked at the horse left behind by Nessa. As he stepped toward it, it shied away. Pulling an apple out of his pocket, he tried again. This time the horse came to him. He mounted, scaring away the little cat perched on its back, and followed Marylyn.

Areanne nodded.
"I am fairly fleet-footed. If I can't keep up with you I can at least trail you." She motioned for them to follow her.

Cale reached the vineyard quite quickly, and upon seeing his friend, the owner of the vineyard, he grinned. "Hello! I was hoping to deliver your little runaway myself. But I got tied up." the owner, Seth, nodded. "Aye. She's over in the cage, ifn' ye wanted t' see her." he raised a brow, knowing his unspoken words had been heard clearly by Cale as a spark rose in the man's eyes.

Marylyn did not know these forest tracks well, but her sense of direction kept her true. While her steed was relaxed, she was alert and unnerved. Considering what she just witnessed, anything could be in this forest. Her eyes scanned between the trees, picking out any dangers. There was nothing to be found. Gradually she began to pick up speed, careful not to outrun Areanne.

Logan paced back and fourth, with his patience growing thin at each stride. "Follow me, whoever dares to." With that he strolled deep into the trees, picking out the mans tracks with only a little difficulty.

Oldin watched as most of the EYES followed Logan. Two or three joined the group heading to Rohan. Oldin urged his horse forward, following Marylyn's lead.

(Lol, I feel ya Nesselde. Lots of vacations. )

Areanne stopped and turned to Nesselde.
"Anywhere your heart desires. At the moment both are dire needs." She turned and disappeared into the bushes, and came scampering back a moment later.
"All clear," she said and crept on, carefully avoiding the horses.

Eonwe glanced up from where she had been curled up on the floor of the dirty cage, only to trembled when she saw who it was that was opening the door. "Please...please don't..." she whispered as he grabbed her arm and began dragging her back to the whipping dock.

A thought occured to Areanne.
"In case I fall behind, someone take this." She reache dinto her cloak pouch and withdrew the scrap of material with Cale's seal on it.
"I don't want to lose you and have no proof to give to King Eomer about his daughter."

Oldin reached out and took it. "Thanks, Areanne," he said.

Nessa and Tawry weere lost. They had lost the man's trail, and their way back to Nar Aelin. Following the stream for another mile, retracing thier steps, Nessa said, "We're lost, Tawry, we have to find our way out."

Tawry glanced at her. "That's what I'm trying to do!" Tawry walked off to thier right. "The forest thins over here. Let's see if there's a path." Nessa rolled her eyes and followed.

"Think nothing of it," Areanne obliged.
"Now, it troubles me, but judging from this area we are in Rohananion... Somewhere. What I don't like is that we could be near Isengard or Mordor or somewhere. I wouldn't greatly like to see that place again."

(Please forgive my absence, i've been weighed down with alot of overtime at work.)

Logan moved swiftly on his feet, shifting in the shadows provided by the towering trees. Before him he could see the man's footprints, he followed with ease. His brows raised with surprise as he came across two other sets of footprints, headed in another direction. They were certainly fresh. "Split up," he ordered to his crew as he diverted and began following the the coupled footprints. Curiousity driving him.

Marylyn frowned deeply. "We will have to be careful and quiet until we have a better understanding of where we are. We do not need anymore enemies this night." A shudder ran down her spine. "I can go ahead and scout if you like?"

Areanne winked broadly at her companion.
"Never fear. I can take care of that, friend. No need to dismount." She slippe dexpertly into the bushes, scouting about. She found curious broken bushes and strange, unidentifying marks in the soil.
"There's broken foliage up ahead," she reported, "And some footprint or other from something I do not know."
