It was quite dark by the time that Diamond and Iolaus stopped for the day. It wasn't evening yet. Night would not come for another three hours yet; however, storm clouds had unexpectedly darkened the afternoon sky and both travellers thought it prudent to make camp early and use the remaining hours to make some sort of shelter.
They had reached the border of Mirkwood Forest again. Though they weren't quite at the Old Forest Road, they were close enough to it that they would be able to see anyone who happened to be traveling upon it. Iolaus had quickly set about making a fire and a small tent of sorts that they could sleep in should the rain come. Diamond had also been busy, first tending to Plum the pony, and then laying out a nice meal. Rain or no, she would have a decent supper and a nice pot of tea.
I wonder if we will see any of the Mirkwood elves on our return journey?
