A/N: This not a tradional LOTR fic. This starts off with our favorite elf living in MODERN time in NYC!

Chapter 1

A man sat back in café and watched the world go by around him. It never ceased to amaze him just how much the world had changed. Everything that he had fought for, everything that he had knew and understood was gone. The existence of his people was a myth, story in a book. A proud race of warriors and philosophers were regarded as fancy of someone's imagination. Oh well he was still here and that is all that matters.

Just then a girl walked by wearing a reproduction of the Evenstar. It amused him greatly. But he had to give then her a second look because when she had walked by he sensed something he hadn't sensed in centuries. Could it be an elleth? He stood up and threw a twenty on the table. He walked briskly to catch up to her and finally while she was waiting at a street corner.

She was carrying an armful of papers and books. He purposely bumped into her so her papers and books went flying. But he didn't mean to bump into her so hard that she along with her books went flying. Horrified at his actions he scrambled to help her up.

"I am so sorry. I can't believe I did that I'm usually not this clumsy I swear…." His voice and shuffling to pick up her papers stopped as he found him self-staring into a pair of familiar angled blue eyes.

"I'm sorry do I know you," The girl said. She looked so familiar that it was driving him crazy. Then she shook her head and squatted back down to pick up the rest of books and papers. He just stood there looking at her until he felt a tug on the bottom of his pant leg. He down into her eyes and couldn't say a word. She smiled an awkwardly and nudged his foot with her knee. That was when he realized that he was standing on the last of her papers. He hastily moved his foot and extended his hand so she could stand up but instead she just rearranged her knees and stood up without his assistance.

" It's nothing personal, I just didn't want to be thrown on the floor again." She said smiling and looking him straight in the eye. God she was gorgeous so he decided to come right out and say it so he blurted out "Are you an Elleth?"

"How did you know my name?" she said looking confused. "Have we met before?"
