The only characters that are mine is Rain, the others belong rightfully to
JRR Tolkien.
Chapter One…
Gandalf came across a silver bundle on his journey to the shire, it moved when he nudged it with his foot and soon had the bundle on its feet glaring at him. It was an elf maiden with long silver tresses and light blue eyes, her skin pale as the moonlight. she was also wearing weapons.. bow and arrow and a knife with which she hunted? but he knew her - her name was Rain. (not the average elven name i know) she smiled as she sheathed her knife once more after pointing it at him.
What brings you here old man? she asked in a whispery voice which held command. - You do Rain, you've come across my path for some reason and now i know what it is, i want you to go to Rivendell and seek out Elrond. she arched an eyebrow at him.
- I am not here to do your bidding old man. she answered back calmly. Gandalf smiled.
- But you would do my bidding if i say that it is in your destiny's path that you go there for there my child you would meet your mate. Rain sighed. how many times had she heard this? first from her parents and now from a meddling old man even if he was a wizard!! she walked to the stream and knelt down to it. then she gazed off into the distance. gandalf came to stand beside her.
- You know of whom i speak child. Gandalf said sternly.
- gandalf i am over 2000 years old, a child i am not. She told him calmly although a fire burned in her light eyes.
Gandalf sighed. Rain was of the extinct moon elves, just like all elves they were fading into myth, to make way for man to dominate the earth. She stood up and glanced over at him. he looked tired, did wizards ever look tired? she laid a hand on his arm.
i will go to Rivendell old friend. he smiled for she had chosen words to calm him. There was much unrest in the land now, with the One Ring falling into a hobbit's hand, A council was to be held there, and with Rain there, he was assured that Frodo would be protected. Frodo and Rain would meet on the journey to Rivendell.
- I will go now gandalf, there is much unrest in the land, i have seen Sauron's minions over middle earth, and know that they head for Lorien if not only to pass by it and leave the wood elves in peace. Gandalf nodded. - i thank you my friend, we will meet again but hopefully in more pleasant circumstances. with that she walked away, soon the forest swallowed her up and gandalf didnt see her again. That it until he reached Rivendell himself to have a few words with Elrond. (i am changing the story a bit here, i want Rain to meet Frodo in a different way)
5 hours of travelling brought her to yet another river, she knew that at the head of this river Rivendell was there awaiting her in peaceful glory. She turned at the sound of hoofbeats, and saw a ranger bearing a child? over his shoulder. his eyes lighted when they saw her.
Rain, of all the elves to meet, i have found you. she touched the child. - is something wrong with the child? the ranger smiled.
- the child is a hobbit, a ringbearer chased by the nazgul, he was wounded and even now goes to meet them in the twilight. the ranger laid the hobbit down and Rain touched his face, cold to the touch, the hobbit looked at her. To him she looked like an angel, white light wreathed her like a unborn star.
- i have some elvish medicine, but elrond will be able to help you more than i. she stood up and let out a piercing whistle. the ranger looked at her, a puzzled look on his face. She smiled.
- Aragorn did you think i did not have any friends left in the land? he smiled sheepishly he should have known better.
- whom did you call? He asked softly
- one of the wild steeds that yet roam the land, he will arrive in a few moments. She told him kneeling back down to tend to Frodo.
