Day 61

As they approached the farm, they both realized something was wrong. There weren't any people around, in fact, there weren't even any animals around.

Kai asked, "Do you think your friend left? Abandoned his farm?"

Caleb replied with a grave tone to his voice, "Never. He had settled here, this was were he wanted to live out the rest of his days, he had a family here, a home."

Realization hit Kai like a hammer smashing into a blacksmith's anvil, "Oh god Caleb! What if Morguloth's men arrived here before us?"

A look of panic came over Caleb's face, "But, how is that possible, we watched them walk of in the opposite direction?"

Already feeling responsible for the death's of yet another friend of Caleb's, Kai cold hardly speak; but he managed to say, "Morguloth's men aren't exactly, 'men'."
