Protecting the Ring: An Elvish Tale

Introduction

They sat across each other at the inn, neither talking, but both observing. The Prancing Pony was packed and there was too much noise, but it was enough to concentrate on the four smaller creatures they were watching.

"You think they have it?" He asked.

"I can sense it, and I don't think they fully comprehend what they are dealing with," she answered.

They were fullly cloaked so no one could see their faces but they could see everyone else's.

One of the Halflings tripped and disappeared earning several cries of shock from the drunkards surrounding them.

"Let's go," he said as he stood up and moved swiftly through the crowd. She followed and weaved her way through the men. He pulled the Halfling up as soon as he reappeared and yanked him up the stairs. She waited until his friends followed up after him. She looked around making sure no one saw the disruption before following them.

She heard shouts as she entered the hallway and found the three hobbits wielding poor weapons and her partner with his sword drawn.

"Aragorn, do not harm them. Release their friend," she sighed.

The four hobbits turned to face her as she watched Aragorn sheath his sword and nod slightly at her.

"What is your name Strider?" One of the Halflings asked.

"Just call me strider," Aragorn said as he shot a warning look at her.

"I think they will have to sleep tonight. That will have set an alarm to bring them here and we cannot risk that happening," she said.

Aragorn nodded once and glanced at each of the hobbits.

"Beg your pardon, but what is your name?" One of the heavier set ones asked.

"Vanya," she replied with a small smile.

"Let's get settled shall we? Vanya go ask the innkeeper to rent us a large room to keep us all in and I suggest you lower your hood when they come. You need to be able to use all your senses fully for when they arrived," Aragorn whispered to Vanya before she walked out.

She walked lightly down the stairs and approached the innkeeper.

"A large room eh? Well…those rooms usually go to more of the rare and rich folk that come in," he said.

She glanced around the room and quickly pulled out a large gold coin and pressed it into the man's hands.

"Alright, let's get you settled," he said with a gleeful gleam in his eye. He summoned some maids to arrange the room for the six of them.

Soon they were settled in their new room and the hobbits had fallen asleep.

Vanya pulled down her hood and sighed as her long dark brown hair tumbled down past her shoulders and her bright blue eyes observed the outside.

"How is Arwen? Do you know?" he asked after awhile.

"She is well, she is missing you but she is well," Vanya replied.

He nodded and a small smile crept upon his face.

A shrill cry rang through there ears and the four hobbits shot up in their beds as they tried to find the source of the sound. Vanya's eyes narrowed as she listened more intently.

A few quite moments later and their harsh cries rang through the night. Vanya could feel the anger and the evil rolled off in waves as they swept away.

"Are they gone?" Aragorn asked a few minutes later. Vanya nodded and sighed in relief.

"Wait a minute…you…you're an elf?" The hobbit named Samwise asked.

Vanya nodded and immediately pulled the hood of the cloak over her ears and head. Her eyes were now shadowed by the cloth.

"That was close," Aragorn muttered.

So…what did you think? I hope you liked it! Please review and I'll welcome any and all ideas!
