With the anomaly quickly approaching the group, Saeril and Legolas didn't hesitate to find cover from the birds, the eyes and ears of Saruman. The Elf Prince held onto the princess' hand, once it became clear that the Dark Lord may have started to scour across the lands to find his enemies/targets. It was of no doubt that the White Wizard would start assisting him to make this goal possible (since Gandalf had explained earlier that Saruman had gone corrupt, and was now against Middle Earth). Having to watch the birds fly around them from above, cawing out loud, for a few seconds, the group had to wait until they dispersed into the direction from whence they came.

Once it was clear for them to come out of hiding, Saeril looked at the departing birds in the distance, before glancing at Gandalf. "The southern lands are being watched. Other than the Crebain, many other foul creatures venture there, especially those who are the underlings of Sauron", she explained, voicing her knowledge on their enemy's intentions. "I know", he said, having to glance in the same direction before turning to look at the snowy mountains. "We don't have a choice but to go around. We must take the Pass of Caradhas".
