Ethan almost fell off Islie when he saw Peter on his horse.

"Rise," Peter commanded with a flushed smile. "My friends do not need to bow before me." Everyone quickly rose.
"Why were you looking for us?" Engee asked.

"There is trouble here, you have come just in time." Replied Peter.

"What kind of trouble?" Gypsy asked. "And how can we help?"

"Well, a long time ago a man was strolling down the riverside, but never returned home that day. Now whenever anyone goes down there, none return O.O and when we send search parties for those missing they never return either.So we need you to go down there and see what is causing all the disappearances." relied Peter.

"So you want us to disappear instead?" Elanor asked incredulously. "I knew I should have stayed home. Now I really will miss dinner!"

"Yeah, we will probably miss a couple hundred dinners", exclaimed Ethan.

"If it is His Majesty's Will, so be it," Engee told King Peter. "Could we pack lots of extra food first?"

Peter pointed toward the north, and there was a huge camp there. "There you will rest for the night, pack food, and get weapons for the journey" exclaimed Peter.

Everyone hurried to the camp where they filled up on steaming bowls of stew and fresh baked bread before heading off to their tents for the night.

In the early morning, they packed their bags, and loaded weapons onto them. Then, they headed West to the place of no return.

The whole time they were packing their bags, Berry muttered, "This is a bad idea, a really, really bad idea."

As they walked, Berry lagged farther and farther behind. Finally, she yelled, "Wait... for... me!"

"Come on, Bilbo!" Engee teased as she saw Berry hurrying to catch up.

"If you're gonna tease me, you have to carry me on your back," Berry said with a gleam in her eye.

"I suppose," Engee agreed and let her scamper up. "I'm not that much bigger than you, you know," Engee reminded.
