They were escorted into the encampment. There were large tents everywhere that seemed to house families. There were men women and children everywhere. A large coral was down wind of the encampment which housed hundreds of horses. As they were escorted through the Tent City, many lined the way to take a look at the strangers. But they kept their distance as the bear and lynxes padded alongside Allasea. But most fell upon the two hobbits and many wondered if they were children. Thorgan heard the mumurings of such and smiled. Both Merry and Pippen rode proudly upon their horses that were way to large for them. They were taken to a central tent that was vastly larger then those that surrounded it. Here the entrance was guarded by four armed guards.<br/><br/>"Dismount here." the one that was escorting them told them all. Once all were dismounted. Lotharn, Haldir and Thorgan stood by the man untill all had gathered in front of the huge tent. The man looked at the bear and the two lynxes and sighed. "They will have to wait out here." he looked at Allasea. At that time a small young girl, probably about five years of age broke free of her mother and ran up to the bear and threw her small arms around the bears neck, or as best she could. "Mr. Bear, you are a handsome looking bear." the little girl said, with a big smile on her face. A horrified mother quickly ran forward and snatched her away from the bear, "You don't go up to a strange creature you don't know." the mother scolded. and then to Allasea, "My appology for my daughters actions. She has always been one to want to befriend animals."<br/><br/>The man escorting them grinned and shook his head. "Come you want to meet the Clan Leader, and so you will." He moved towards the Tent entrance and the guards pulled the flaps open. Inside was spacious and airy. Furs covered the floor and one could tell that the tent was sectioned off with material, to make seperate rooms. In the entrance of the tent, which was quite large was a large wooden chair, carved to look like a horse rearing up. On the chair sat a beautiful young woman in leather dyed purple. The leather clothing was quite revealing with a plunging neckline down to the navel, revealing a good amount of her breasts and sking. Instead of breaches, she had a long leather skirt that was slit up both sides to the hip.<br/><br/>The man went to one knee and bowed his head. "Mistress, these are strangers that wish an audiance with you."<br/><br/>She looked at the small group and smiled. "Ah so it is true. We have gotten word that such a group as yours was coming this way." She looked at Lotharn, "You would be the one that bears the key stone." Then to Thorgon, "I recgonize you house insignia Prince. You are welcome here in my clan." She looked at Thorgan with an intrested look, eying him up and down. Then she looked at Flagdon and Timberlane. "Master Wizard and Master Dwarf." she bowed her head, "Another prince from one of the Dwarvan Kingdoms and a Wizard that has traveled these lands before." Then looked at Haldir and Allasea. "What house do you two come from. It was not said that there were two more elves with this group." Then she laid eyes on Merry and Pippen that had been standing behind the others. She chuckled merrily and smiled. "And who are these two small ones. I have not see any like them. Where did you find them?"
