The small company hastened out of Mirkwood and took Old Forest Road. To Elenriel, they seemed to travel hours without pause. We must have traveled close to a hundred miles if not more. she thought wearily, every muscle in her body screaming with fatigue. To her great relief Legolas halted the company several miles from the mountain pass they were to take to reach Rivendell. "We shall take a short pause here." He turned and looked at Elenriel then. "Get some rest. We shall set off soon." he said gently. Elenriel nodded and quickly dismounted while the other elves quickly scouted the area, making sure they were not followed. She quickly tended to Turtegiel before sitting on the grass, too weary to think of anything else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Elenriel sat on the grass, allowing the wind to whip at her strands of dark hair. She had never felt so exhausted in her life. Legolas approached her then. “Have you used weapons before?" he asked. Elenriel quickly turned, startled. "My apologies, I did not mean to frighten you." he said softly. "It's alright, I did not hear your approach. And no, I have never used weapons except in a mock swordfight with my younger cousins-but I have had no real training." "And yet you had the audacity to slay an orc without any qualms?" he asked, smirking. "It was either that or be dinner. And I have no desire to satiate the appetite of any creature." she replied in amusement. "Nevertheless, your instincts are sound. Keep these with you. You may have need of them." he replied as he handed her two elven daggers. “How far are we now from Rivendell?” she asked. “Within a day or two we should arrive, depending on our pace. If we travel unhindered we may arrive sooner.” Legolas paused then before continuing. “Elenriel, I am truly sorry for forcing you on this intense pace." Elenriel gave him a worn smile. “It’s quite alright. I had whether race to Rivendell than meet up with a Black Rider." she replied. "Or nearly become dinner to a group of hungry orcs” she added wrly, getting a slight chuckle from the prince.

Dark opened her eyes, her lids were still heavy. She was sore all over. She sat up, looking around she saw that she was lying on a gently rolling plain. It looked as though she was on the plains outside of her city. She looked harder and there was a glimmer in the distance. She stood up, trying not to put too much weight on her left leg which was suddenly hurting.

"Where am I?" She wondered aloud.

"Midde Earth." A scratchy voice answered from behind her. "And you are now my prisoner." Rough hands grabbed her own. Instinct took over as she dropped to the ground. She opened her mouth and screamed. A high pitched scream came out, very much like the scream of the Nazgul. The person that had grabbed her let go of her hands to cover his ears. She jumped up, spun around and kneed the attacker. Her hand strayed to her belt, so used to the sword that was always strapped to her side when she was at home. Her hand gripped something, it was hard. She looked down, it was a real sword!

The man was on the ground, sobbing with the pain of the scream. She knelt swiftly.

"I'm sorry! Are you allright? I didnt mean to kick you or anything, i was instinct. And the scream, dont ask me about the scream i have no idea where it came from..." She continued on, babbling. The man reached up and placed a finger to her lips. She stopped suddenly, her eyes flickering down.

"Quiet." He whispered and pointed behind her. A grey dappled horse was standing behind her. She straightened up.

“Here. You must be hungry.” Legolas said, handing Elenriel some lembas bread. “Thank you.” she replied as she slowly chewed on the bread, feeling her strength return. After she finished, Legolas turned to her once more. “Have you ever used a bow before?” Once, but it was long ago and I was never any good. Why?” “Then I think it‘s time to develop your skill.” he remarked as he pulled Elenriel to her feet. With that he left her for a few minutes and quickly returned with a smaller yet powerful bow. Elenriel nodded in understanding, as she gently took the bow, amazed at its craftsmanship. With that she moved off to the side and began practicing with the bow, irritated that she could never get it to go more than a few feet. “You are not drawing back far enough.” Legolas replied, walking up to her. “What?” “Here.” he responded, as he reattached the arrow, she let drop. “On my instruction, release the arrow.” Elenriel nodded as he corrected her form. “Release it.” On his command, she shot the arrow, sending it farther than she had done before. “See?” he replied, a smirk on his face. “Alright. I give up. You win.” Legolas gave a slight chuckle as he shook his head in amusement. “Do you remember how the position felt?” Elenriel nodded. “I think so. But-” Suddenly a shriek filled the air, cutting her off. “Yrch!” Legolas warned instinctively stepping in front of her, shielding her from enemy arrows. “Go! Hide!” he commanded, before turning to aid his companions. Elenriel raced no time and hid between the nearest bush, hidden from view yet able to see the approaching battle. Her breath was labored as she grasped bow Legolas had given her. Please protect them. she silently prayed.

From her secluded location, she watched in awe as Legolas whipped out his bow, and in a blink of an eye fired his arrows at the approaching orc army. His moves were swift and deadly, yet he possessed the grace of his kin. Never had she witnessed such skill in battle. But, at that precise moment, she witnessed something that nearly took her breath away. An orc captain had paused suddenly and took aim at the prince. Elenriel turned quickly to find Legolas busy dealing with the orcs in front of him, unaware of the dangers that lurked in the shadows. Knowing what she had to do, she took a deep breath and quickly stepped from her leafy sanctuary with her bow raised. She took aim at the captain, praying for guidance and luck. With that she released her arrow, sending it whizzing past Legolas and into the chest of the orc captain. Legolas turned in the direction in time to see the orc fall and the realization dawned upon him. He nodded at Elenriel appreciatively, yet he was not the only one who noticed what she had done. Her shot cost her dearly as the orcs now turned their attention upon her. She recklessly shot arrows into the approaching wave, but they soon surrounded her. Dropping her bow, she dodged one orc blade and fled from another. “Elenriel! Hold on!” Legolas cried racing back to her. Without thinking she whipped out her blades and blocked one blow while blindly striking out with the other, unsure of what she was doing-her mind crazed with fear. Finally one orc pinned her, his evil eyes glinting with glee. He was about to finish her, when an arrow pierced him and he crumpled over her. Elenriel hastily kicked the body off and retreated back as Legolas and his companions formed a circle around her. The orcs seeing that she was well shielded reluctantly backed away, skulking back into the shadows beyond. The elves did not lower their weapons until they were certain that the fiends had departed. Legolas quickly turned back to Elenriel, and gently grasped her shoulders. “Are you alright?” he asked quietly. Deeply shaken, she slowly nodded her head. “Thanks to you, my prince.” she said softly. “Please, there is no need for such formality. In this short time you have become more than a companion, you have become a friend. Legolas is enough.” Elenriel gave him a slight smile. “Very well. Then, thank you, Legolas.” she said softly. “The prince is right.” an elf solider interjected. “You saved our prince. You have proven your loyalty. Forgive me, I was wrong to mistrust you.” “There is no need for forgiveness. I am a stranger in your world, you had reason to doubt me. But we have probably lingered here far to long, we should depart soon ere we are attacked again.” The soldier nodded, somewhat amused. So young and already wise in war. he thought. “Very well, Legolas responded. We will depart soon. The mountain pass is not far ahead.”

Dark watched the horse, it moved slowly closer until it was touching it's nose to her shoulder.

"I think she likes you." The man said to Dark quietly. Dark nodded and placed her hand gently on the horses nose.

"See if you can get on." He said. Dark nodded again and slipped around to the horses side, she jumped on and grabbed the thin reins.

"She likes you, take her to Rivendell." Dark watched the man.

"Who are you?"She asked him.

"No one of importance." He replied. She shrugged and kicked the horse who took off like a speeding bullet. The man got to his feet, his dark clothing was covered in dust. A Ranger of the North.

Elenriel and Legolas continued their journey to Rivendell. The mountain pass they were to take to enter the elven haven was just before them. Though the small group traveled swiftly along the road, their pace was more relaxed, but all kept a vigilant eye for trackers. If I am here, other A-Uers must have found their way to Middle-earth as well. I wonder where everyone ended up. she thought as they approached the mountain pass.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elenriel looked off in the distance, Rivendell was before them. She gave an excited cry as the company spurred on their horses and entered the gates of the elven haven. Long have I desired to see this kingdom, she thought. I wonder what awaits us here.

Elrohir ordered his party to get ready to the arrival to Rivendell. Sirius's hands were tied and his mouth was shut. Elrohir looked up to the sky and said to his party that "hastily let's go to my father." They all mounted on their horse behind of Elrohir Sirius was put. As he told something elvish to his horse, his horse was galloped through the forest and the rest of them followed him. They followed the path which enlightened by the sun light. They moved a day and a night nonstop as the long the light guides on their way. Another morning they got out of the forest. They saw another party who is trying to enter into Rivendell, Sirius saw somebody looking familiar. Legolas and Elenriel were there. Sirius tried to get up on the horse to signal her but he could not do it anyway because Elrohir noticed him that Sirius got up on his feet but put down by Elrohir's hand again. They passed them by and entered into Rivendell. Moved on the bridge. And stopped before the stable. Dismounted both. All men escorted Sirius to Elrond's room. As they went up, they got lost after entering into the House of Elrond.

Gandalf the yellow had just opened his newest Christmas present,a replica of the one ring.He admired it as he put it on his fingure."Now my Sauron costume is complete." he thought.But before he would try it on,he would have some fun with his brother.

Gandalf's brother had gotten a inflateable guy who you could punch."Take this,Bob!," his brother said as he punched the guy in the head."And some of this!" Gandalf yelled as he punch Bob with his hand that had the ring on it.When Gandalf looked back at his brother, he saw instead a group of orcs.When he looked backed at Bob, he saw an elf firing a bow.Gandalf ran to the elf as fast as he could.Suddenly the landscape around him changed to what he thought looked liked Rivendell!Sounds of battle and the horrible sound of orcs shouting filled his ears.At last the elf had slain all the orcs.The elf looked at him,and his eyes glowed with amazement."It is true!"the elf muttered."You must come with me," the elf said louder."I'm in Middle-Earth!!!,"Gandalf yelled out loud with shock.That was the last he rememberd before he past out with shock.
