Ranger Siblings

Rainbow Haired Girl

Summary: Elbereth is Aragorn's older sister. When their mother passes away she must protect Aragorn at all costs. In Rivendell he is known as Estel and Elbereth is known as Faelwen. Pairing is undecided at the moment.

Disclaimer: I do not own Hobbit or Lord of the Rings. I do own Elbereth only and which characters that are ocs when they are added in.

Authoress Note: Welcome to my latest story. Sadly I know that I shouldn't have written another Hobbit story, but I needed to write it down or at least get it started and have some idea where to take this story while I am working on my other stories. I have been able to keep them all straight as I have written them. I will have information on Elbereth to give you an idea of what she looks like.

Elbereth

Age: 18 (made her 8 Years older than Aragorn and made her parents a little bit older too)

Hair: Black

Eyes: Blue

Elvish Name: Faelwen

Height: 5'4 (Short, but not too short, I would say she takes after her mother.)

Without further ado Ranger Siblings.

Chapter 1

First Meeting

Bree

2940 Third Age

A hooded figure brought their horse through Bree as the rain poured down around them as they walked. It was impossible to keep themselves dry as they walked. They were in a hurry to find shelter from the rain. The person tied their horse up outside of the Prancing Pony and walked inside. The person went up to the bar.

"What can I get you?" The bartender asked the hooded figure.

The person looked from underneath their hood. The person didn't say a word other than pointing behind the bartender to the tap of ale.

"You want an ale?"

The hooded figure nodded their head.

The bartender went and got the hooded figure their drink. He came back and placed it down in front of them.

The hooded figure paid for the drink and took it to an empty table that was furthest away from all of the people in the Prancing Pony. They watched a dwarf man leaving the bar and most likely going to his room. The hooded figure looked up and saw a man dressed in all grey looking at them.

"What is a Dunedain doing all the way out here far from her home?" The old man asked, as he looked down at the woman hooded figure.

The woman looked up from underneath her hood up at the old man. She knew who he was. He was Gandalf the Grey. She had met him when she was leaving Rivendell when she had first 18 years old. "A Dunedain doing her rounds before returning home." She told him a small smile playing on her pink lips. She shouldn't have ventured out this far, but she had a thing for wanting to see the world and that was what she got to do. "Tell me what is Gandalf the Wandering Wizard doing all this way in Bree?" She questioned him, as she brought her pint of ale up to her lips taking a sip of the smooth yet horrid drink.

Gandalf smiled at the young woman. He hadn't forgotten when he first met her. "May I join you Faelwen?"

Faelwen nodded her head. "I do not mind Gandalf, my friend."

Gandalf sat down across from the young woman ranger.

"Now what brings you here Gandalf?" She questioned him again as she took another drink of her ale. Her blue eyes locking onto his blue ones.

"Thorin Oakenshield was here." He said to her, as he looked at the young woman who looked a little bit tired and worn from her travels.

Faelwen's eyes widened. "The King-in-Exile? He was here?" That must've been the dwarf that she had seen leaving the Prancing Pony to most likely get some sleep.

"Yes, and I was advising him to take back his mountain."

Faelwen almost dropped her ale. "A dangerous task. Going against a dragon who has been slumbering for sixty years. Gandalf are you certain that a dwarf can do this on his own?" She questioned the old wizard. She had a feeling that perhaps Gandalf had lost his mind far more than what she had thought. She knew that it would be dangerous to walk on the mountain.

"The dragon has been there long enough Faelwen." He told the young woman ranger. His eyes darkened slightly. "If our enemy is sided with the dragon it will be truly dangerous. Unneeded death and desolation. A desolation of all of the free people of Middle-Earth."

Faelwen bit her lip knowing that this was true. She had known the dragon was going to be the problem. She pushed her hood back some so Gandalf could see the serious look that she had upon her face. Her lips pursed together in thought. "And are you looking for anyone to travel with?" She asked.

"I will be getting a burglar." He told her, the seriousness in his voice caused her to look up at him with urgency. He was going after a burglar?

"What race?" She asked softly.

"A hobbit."

"Hobbits are a gentle folk race. How are you going to get someone like a hobbit to join in on this quest as dangerous as it is." She shook her head.

Gandalf hummed for a second. The wheels were turning in his head. He was thinking of something very important. He came up with an idea. "Would you go march with us on the mountain?" He asked looking seriously at her.

Faelwen looked at him and placed her pint down onto the table without dropping it. "You want me to march with Thorin Oakenshield on the mountain. Reclaiming his homeland and becoming the rightful king like he is supposed to be? Are you sure that it is wise for me to join?" She questioned the old wizard. She wasn't sure that Thorin Oakenshield was going to be accepting of allowing a woman to join in on the quest.

"Yes, my dear girl, you are a Dunedain. A Ranger of the North. A protector of man and any other race."

Faelwen nodded her head. "All right." She said to him.

"We are to meet in the Shire."

"I cannot meet there Gandalf." She told the old wizard. "I am to wander. That would be too far in. I would be interrupting peaceful lives in the Shire. That I will not do. If you can make it to the Hidden Valley that would be the best place to meet." She told him, as she took a drink of her ale.

"You will travel from the Hidden Valley then?"

Faelwen nodded her head. "Yes, I will Gandalf."

"I will hold you to your word." He stood up and looked down at the young Dunedain ranger. "You mustn't tell Lord Elrond about this meeting."

"I will not Gandalf. It is not my concern to tell him at the moment. I know our paths will cross soon enough."

Gandalf patted her on the shoulder and began to walk away from her.

Faelwen couldn't believe what she had agreed to. Eighteen years old and she was putting herself in a higher risk of danger now. Facing a dragon was something that she knew that Lord Elrond wasn't going to allow her to do. She was going to have to sneak out of the Hidden Valley if she was going to help Thorin Oakenshield and who ever else he chose to join him on this quest. She could only hope that she was not making a mistake. She finished her ale and stood up. She began to walk the bar.

"What else can I help you with?" He asked looking at her.

She put money down on the table. "I wish to have a room for the night." She told him.

He nodded his head. "You will be in room 14." He said as he took the money and slid the key to her room over to her.

She picked up the key and went to go and find her room. She found it fairly easily and unlocked the door. She stopped her movements when she heard the door next to hers open up. She turned her head a little bit and saw Thorin Oakenshield was looking at her. She slipped into her room for the night. She closed the door.

Thorin couldn't understand why a Ranger of the North was this far away from where they were supposed to be. He was going to have to keep in mind if he saw the Ranger again, but he wasn't going to ask the Ranger why they were here. He didn't even know that she was a woman ranger.

XXXXXXXX

This is the end of chapter 1. Please let me know what you think. I am going to make this a lot more different than my other hobbit stories that I have out on the site. I hope that you enjoyed this chapter and please let me know what you think. Just giving you a little base on my characters. When she meets Thorin and the other dwarves. She isn't going to be like a normal maiden and let someone boss her around. But anyways I hope that this story holds some kind of promise in it. Hopefully it will become a good fic in the end. I am also debating on this one being a longer story just like the other ones I have written. I do have a thing for long written stories. I never for some reason like writing short stories. I guess it is my kind of thing to write longer stories. Until next time. Leave a review and let me know what you think. And curious question who would you want to see Faelwen interacting first out of the company? Let me know who you would like to see her interact with. Until next time.
