Aiyana sat outside taking feeling the cool breeze rush by her. It was quiet out, too quiet. She walked home; it had been another night resulting in a broken curfew. Her father was going to chew her out. God forbid that she was an eighteen year old and went out to party; it was more than just partying though. Her mother had died last month and since she passed she didn't know who she was anymore. She walked down Main Street and most of the shops were closed except for one. It was one of those novelty stores. She was suddenly plagued by intrigue. She walked in to find it littered with magic kits, books, and all kinds of other fun junk. "Hello!" Someone called. It was a woman. She walked in from the back with a smile. She was tall, with blonde hair and intense blue eyes "Wow I usually don't receive visitors this late. What can I do for you?"

"Just looking." Aiyana replied.

"Something troubles you. I can sense it."

"How did you."

"I'm kind of a visionary you might say. Freaky family trait." She replied.

"Umm yea." Aiyana replied.

"So what's bothering you?" The woman asked.

'Things are just a mess right now. You ever have one of those days where you just want to get away and start over?"

"All the time." She woman replied. "Who doesn't?"

"What do you do here?' Aiyana asked feeling awkward about having a personal conversation with a woman she didn't even know.

"Just about anything. I sell a lot of crap but I make most of my money in fortune telling and spiritual healing."

"I don't think you can help me then." Aiyana forced a smile.

"Don't be too sure about that." She replied going to the back and coming back a few minutes later with a yellowish crystal. It was actually very beautiful. "Here take this, put it on before you go to bed tonight and it should give you what your looking for."

"What?" Aiyana asked.

"Just trust me, it will help you. It's a cleansing crystal. It might just give you the answers you seek."

"Umm, thank you." Aiyana replied some what awkwardly. She reached into her pocket for money.

"Don't worry about it, you seem like you need it more than anybody that might come in here with boyfriend trouble or whatever."

"What's your name?" Aiyana questioned before turning to leave.

"Lumina. Like I said freaky family thing."

"Will I should be getting home, but thank you for the crystal."

"No problem."

After getting home and being yelled at for a half hour. Aiyana took a shower and placed the crystal around her neck. She fell into a deep sleep. She woke up to a warm breeze. She opened her eyes and found she was lying in a comfortable bed overlooking what looked like heaven. It was bright, and beautiful. She got up out of bed and walked over to the balcony. "What the hell happened to me?' She asked out loud.

"I would inquire the same question." Someone said behind her.

She jumped and turned around. "Who are you?' she asked.

"I am sorry; I am Elrond, Lord of Rivendell."

"Rivendell?" She asked confused. She rubbed her head feeling a headache coming on.

"Yes, may I ask how you came to be sleeping in the woods?"

"I don't know." She replied suddenly feeling confused. "I don't know how I got here."

"You don't remember?" He asked.

"I was home and a woman gave me this crystal." She started to explain looking down to make sure the crystal was still around her neck. "And I went to bed and woke up here."

Elrond seemed to think about this for a second before he spoke again. "What is your name child?' Elrond asked.

"I am Aiyana." She replied.

"Though your circumstances are odd you may stay here as long as you wish." He replied. "I will help you in any way I can."

"Thank you." She replied. She noticed that her clothes were different. Her pajamas were replaced by a pale blue dress that flowed around her feet.

"If you would please follow me, you must be hungry."

She realized that she was starving. She followed him admiring her surroundings as she walked. They entered a big dining hall and she ate to her hearts content.

Later she decided to walk through the gardens, she wondered what had brought her here. She fingered the crystal around her neck knowing that it had something to do with it.

She wondered about a lot of things as she proceeded to trip on her dress and fall to the ground. Someone came over to help her up. He was tall and dark.

"Thank you." She said quickly.

"Your welcome." He replied. "I am Aragorn."

"Aiyana." She replied.

"It is a pleasure to meet you." He said taking notice of her knee which was bleeding. "We should go back to the main hall to fix that." He helped her walk back letting her take his arm for support. She still had some wondering to do indeed.
