'We have a long way to go, Player. As much as I wish we did not need to refuge at the town of the horse-lords, it seems we must. We have lost the trail of this creature, this wraith of which you speak, and until we can learn where it has gone we are only wasting time.

'Something is near, Player! It must be the wraith we have sought... it makes my blood run cold!'
Nona looks at you with wide eyes, and you are suddenly reminded that she has not had much experience with creatures of such evil. She puts her hand on the hilt of Wadu's sword, her sword, and her former fright is replaced with grim determination.
'We found it. Now what do we do with it?'1/1

Nona lies crumpled on the ground before you, soaking in the blood from a sword-wound in her side. She struggles weakly to speak.
'Player... are you...?'
The effort is too great for her; she needs the aid of a healer if she is to survive this wound. In the back of your mind, one worrying question refuses to go away. From what blade did she take this wound? Did an Easterling blade cause this injury, or was it the blade of the Nazgûl?
You prepare yourself for the long journey back to Stangard with Nona.1/1

'Player... is everything... all right?'
Nona's breathing is ragged and shallow, and the gash in her side still bleeds around the cloths with which you tried to staunch it.
When you brought her to Stangard she was barely conscious. You found Horn near the entrance and begged for his people to tend to Nona's hurts. He sought out the leader of Stangard to see what could be done, and has not yet returned.1/1

'I did my best for you, Player, but you are not going to be pleased. He did not understand why we should heal the hurts of this Dunlending girl.
'Eventually he relented somewhat, and he has agreed that our healers will do what they can for the girl.'1/1

'Do not... let them...'
Nona struggles to speak, but the effort is too great for her to make out the words. She beseeches you with wide eyes, but you cannot meet her stare. Your gaze keeps returning to the blood soaking the floor beneath her.
She tries again.
'Wadu's... it was...'
You cannot give the Rohirrim what they demand. There has to be another way to save her life.1/1
13 Speak to(Show dialog)
'There has to be some other way, Player. You spoke of the Elf-witch in the woods to the north along Anduin. My people shun that place as a den of evil glamour, but... if there was a power that could heal this girl...'
Horn glowers at you, his eyebrows knitted together angrily.
'A pox on her! I will not have her blood on my hands, or on her own. Lead us to this Elf-witch, Player! I have heard the tales. Perhaps she will be unable to bewitch me if I am expecting it! Why did you ever bring this girl to Stangard, Player? This is not her place.'
Horn gazes into the middle distance, and in a quiet voice he continues.
'In Stangard, is a sword valued more highly than the life of a girl? What sort of man would willingly serve in such a place?'
He shakes his head, and the urgency returns to his voice.
'Well? For what are you waiting? Let us go at once!'1/1

'I will never call my people distrustful again, Player. The blindfold felt somewhat unnecessary to me. Only the most urgent of need has driven me here, and I would not want to return!'
Horn's face softens, and his brow creases with worry.
'Do you think the girl will recover? I saw the way those Elves looked at her wound. Whatever they saw there, they did not like it. If it was not an Easterling blade... what does that mean for her? What is wrong? Player?'1/1
16 Speak to(Show dialog)
'The danger has passed, Player. The wound was deep, but it did not fester. And yet, I did not wish to leave this girl to the care of my healers. The risk that her wound was caused by a morgul blade, and that she could become a wraith like the creature you encountered that night, compelled me to heal her hurts personally. If that had proven the case, I would have ended her suffering. It would have been a mercy, and necessary to safe-guard Lothlórien and indeed all lands.
'Do you think me cruel? I am glad it did not come to that. I do not believe her wound was caused by a morgul blade, and it is my hope and belief she will live. I am... surprised. We will speak more of it later, away from watchful ears.
'The girl Nona is sleeping. When she is awake you will be brought to her. For now you should rest, Player. Dream no troubling dreams! In Lothlórien your rest will be peaceful. I am certain of it.'1/1
