The Return of the Ring

[Earniel]

Mara smiled as she saw Shuina waving enthousiastically with a pastry. She sat down next to her friend and sniffed the elven food. It smelled good and Mara's stomach growled in anticipation. She quickly attacked the food.

While taking a few slices of bread she looked at the rest of her group. Shuina still looked a little sleepy but seemed to be in reasonable high spirits. Mr. Emrys, or Myrrdin (she hadn't really figured out which one she was to call him) was rather silent and thoughtfull. Dr. Martinez looked a bit pale and troubled. Mara wondered if she has slept at all. The other girl Jenna seemed wonderfully at ease in this elven environment.

From the corner of her eye Mara saw Arantar approaching. A smile played across the ageless face as he saw his human guests enjoy their breakfast. Though as Mara looked at him, she imagined seeing a worried frown cross the Elf's face.

The Elf solfty coughed untill he had the attention of his guests. "The boat is ready," he said. "We're loading in some stores and a few items you may find useful on your yourneyl. You can be on your way to Ireland by noon. From that point on you're on your own. Our power does not stretch that far."
