Avari had just arrived back in Imladris with her father that day from their assignment in Gondor as being Emissaries.

With a constant war ever so looming, she found herself hardly ever home. The thoughts of her visit with her father, Elendel, was not letting her sleep so she got out of bed and quickly got dressed in tan leggings and dark blue tunic. She loosely braided her blond hair and then proceeded out of her room.

As she walked through the many gardens, she saw a male elf with golden hair. He was standing on a bridge, leaning on the elegant rail watching the night scenery.

Avari walked toward him with caution. She sensed a sadness around him as she neared him.

"You have a sense of sadness around you My Lord." Avari said as stood at the end of the bridge.

He turned to her and stared at her.

"Are you new here?" he asked.

"No, this beautiful place has been my home for a very long time. My name Avari, Daughter of Elendel." Avari said as she neared closer to him.

"You are the emissary's daughter, that explains why this is the first time I have met you. My name is Glorfindel." He told her with a sad smile.

"If I may ask, why are you out at this time of night?" She asked.

"I could not sleep." He simply replied as he brought his attention back to the scenery before the bridge.

"You could say the same thing for me as well. Being back home is strange for me. I have been with my father in Gondor." Avari said now standing next to him.

"You travel with your father?" he asked her.

"Yes, I want to be a emissary of Imladris one day and so I go with my father so that I may learn."

"You are lucky to have relatives around you for I an one of the unlucky few." He told.

"My mother went to the Hall of Mandos when I was just a youngling." Avari told him.

"I am sorry to her that." He told her.

"I am not sad. She is in a peaceful world where I will someday see her. She is always in my heart." She replied.

"What would you say if I was dead and was sent back to this world?"

"Then I would say you have been given a gift by the Valor and that you were given a purpose that you must find." She replied.

"You make it sound so simple." He said facing her.

"It is only as simple as you make it. You can make it very or you can make very easy. That decision is up to you."

"Your words are as wise as Lord Elrond." Glorfindel said looking into her green eyes.

"I only speak of experiences. I have travelled all over Middle Earth and met many races."

"Tell me My Lady, why trouble yourself with me?" He asked looking deep into her green eyes.

"Because I want to help you. As a emissary I am to help other countries with news and council. As I am now I want to help any and everyone that comes across my path, including you My Lord. And please just call me Avari we are equals are we not?" She replied with a smile.

"You can not help me. I plagued by shadow and flame when the light of day ceases and night comes." Glorfindel replied as averted his gaze back to the moonlit valley.

"Shadows and flames?" Avari questioned.

"Yes, in another life my city was attacked by a Balrog from Morgoth. I went to battle with it to save my people. I died defeating it. Ever since the Valar breathed life into me again I have not been able to sleep because of the shadows and flames that haunt me." He explained to her.

"I see. I can relate in a way." Avari said as she looked upon the valley.

"You have gone against a Balrog?"

"No, but I know how it feels to be haunted by the visions of the past." She replied. "When I was young, I was with my Naneth and Adar, we were on our way to Lorein. We were attacked by wargs. My Naneth died trying to protect me while my Adar fought the beasts. For a very long time I was hunted in my dreams by her death. I felt as if it was my fault.

"My Adar told me that it was not and that I should never let my dreams be haunted. My Naneth shared the same passion as my father and she too was a emissary as well. So I too want to become a Emissary. I have a long way to go but I will be one some day. Me becoming just like my Naneth my haunt was lifted."

"You make it sound so easy." He replied to now full fcing her.

"You only make it as easy you want it to be. I believe you were sent back to help us battle the true evil in this world." She replied with a smile.

"I thank you Avari. Perhaps my haunted dreams will cease tonight and let me sleep." He replied with a small smile.

"Do not let the past burden you. Without out you saving your people, I would not be here today."

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"My family lineage spans to the City of Gondolin." She replied, "Without you saving the people, I would not be here today because my family lineage would have severed so I would like to thank you."

"No Avari. Thank you. With this new piece of information about you and your family I am at peace." He replied.

"Well I must be off. If my Adar found out I was out this late and not resting he would have a fit. I hope to see you again soon sometime and talk." She replied.

"I would like to speak to you again. Perhaps you can shed more light about this world for me." Glorfindel replied to her.

"I would love to teach you about this wonderful world." She smiled.

~Author's Note~

So I have been working on this and I have been editing all my notes and I hope to update at least once a week. I have been brewing this story for a long time and if you are not up to speed on elvish I will have the translation at the end of each chapter for you.

Adar = Father

Naneth = Mother
