Liliana sat quietly and patiently upon the ledge of the Rivendell palace waiting for the arrival of the dwarf, the elf, the man, and the four hobbits. They will be meeting here to decide who will destroy the One Ring and end Middle Earth's unhappiness. Liliana is daughter to Titus and Lucinda, her father was a great warrior to Rivendell, killed in battle. Her mother, Lucinda, died months later from the grief of her husbands death. Leaving Liliana an alone and orphaned elleth. She has extrodinary powers-able to tell how she will relate with the person by a simple touch to their skin. She is also a very graced warrior, able to shoot four arrows at a time. Liliana is skilled with other weapons as well, along with her bare hands. She could see the dwarf approaching now, waddling because of his sturdy stature. He was making his way inside the gates as she decended the ledge and made her way to the bathing quarters of the palace to clean up.

When she sweeped down the stairs with the grace of a cat, she assumed the others had arrived, on account of the arguing of who will take the Ring. She heard the small Hobbit declare that he will be taking the One Ring and appraised him silently for siezing the arguments. She was waiting in the hall way now, listening into the room. She heard Aragorn and Gimli step up as protection to the hobbit, then she heard a voice as smooth as velvet, "And my bow." She recognized the voice to be Legolas, prince of Mirkwood.

I heard Elrond speak now, on account of me. "I give you our best and fiercest warrior for your journey." I walked into the room and slightly bowed my head in respect. They looked at me as if I was completely mad.

The dwarf spoke causing me to startle at his comment, "She is just a mere woman! We already have four hobbits, we do not need another to look out for!"

Elrond was about to defend my name before I spoke up, "With all due respect sir, I could shoot you down so quickly you wouldnt be able to even get in a word of plead." I spoke furociously through gritted teeth. I looked at Gandalf, to find him quit amused by my outburst. I spoke to him, "You have yourself a very brave one here."That got a chuckle from Arargorn, and I gave him a smile. My eyes the shifted to the elf prince and strode over to him, grasping his chin lightly in my small hands, "Now this one Gandalf, this one is quit beautiful." The prince gave Elrond a look as if to say 'I like her already.' Gimli looked simply astonished, since I had basically called the pour thing ugly, I spoke to the prince quietly, "Hmm, you and I will be great friends." I smiled.

His velvet tone broke through the silence, "May I ask how you are so sure?" I smirked rather mischieviously at the question, Elrond answered for me.

"Lady Liliana, has beed graced the power to interprut. By a single touch of the skin, she sees where you and her will stand. So when she touched you, she could sense it." He finished with a cocky smile, proud of the being that he owns.

All but Gnadalf gave looks of shock. Aragorn spoke calmly, but excited. "Thats magnificent!"

I smiled. "Yes, it does come in handy every once in awhile."

Just then the was an excited cry from the hobbit I knew to be Pippin "Ahh do me lass! Do me!"

I chuckled at his display and sweeped over swiftly, "I will distinguish you all, but I say the Pippin has to be first." I laughed sing-songly, and the men seemed to melt into puddles on the floor. I took Pippin's hand in my own, "Ahh, yes Pippin." I poked his little nose sweetly "You be like the little brother I have never had." I giggled at his proud face. I did the rest of the hobbits, getting the same answer.

I then slid to Aragorn and asked for his hand in which he gladly oblidged. "Aragorn, you shall be my protector, and shield me from evil." He was happy with that.

"And it will be my pleasure doing so, my Lady." He bowed. I gave him a grateful smile and nod before asking the drwarf for his small hand.

"Ahh master dwarf. You will become jealous of me, for I am a better axe wielder, but you shall get over it in time." The room corupt in laughter and the dwarf turned red in embarressment. I chuckled to myself moving on to Gandalf the Grey. I gently and politely took his old frail hand in my soft, youthful one.

I smiled greatly at what I saw, "You will become the father that I no longer have." He gave me a smile and I calmly moved to Boromir. He gave me his hand and what I saw startled me out of my whits.

I lifted my chin disobiediently and let go of his hand quickly. I spoke clear and confident "I wish to stay far from you, do to your unpure thoughts." The room was quiet as I moved myself back over to the elvish princeling.

I gave him a small smile "Excuse me for asking, but may I read you again? My last interprutation wasnt quit clear."

He gave me a quick smile and put his hand in mine, "I would be honored for you to do so."

I chuckled at his pureness, "You are a very good man Legolas, very true to you companions. Im honored to say that we will be quick friends and that we will make quit the team with our bows. And you will care for me deeply, as I will you." I smiled and nodded my head. He also did this in thanks.

Gimli than spoke, "Okay girly, let us go to the practice fields and see how much you lie of your skills as a warrior. We shall be the judges!" He said spreading his arms at his companion.

I let out a small giggle and headed out the door for the fields with all the men in tow, "As you wish master Gimli."
