Prologue
At a very young age, Ailish Soria was trained by her father, who had dreams of a mystical Lady who said to teach Ailish of the old ways. He did not refuse her, fear of what she might do to him, having been present a couple times at his job, which he immediately quit. At age 17, Ailish's father was murdered by a creature called an Uruk-hai from the story The Lord of the Rings. Ailish vowed to destroy the Uruk-hai's to avenge her father's death.
A year later, Uruk-hai and Orcs roamed the city she lived and killed all human beings, raping woman and children. Though, they only came out at night. Ailish than rescued three cousins, and became very close and were the best of friends. Ailish trained them, as her father did with her. There names: Alejandra Cortez, and her two cousins; Saul Hernandez, and Alejandro Rios. The three cousins then joined Ailish in destroying these fantasy monsters that came to reality.
Two years then pass, and one night the Uruk-hai and Orcs were too great in number and the four adults lives changed forever. Three found love, hope, and a brand new life to start over in peace. The other betrayed them, jealousy and vengeance taking over their mind, their heart, and their soul. Saul allied with the enemy and were soon perished by the blade of the one he loved, Ailish.
After the Great War of the Ring, when peace was finally regained throughout Middle Earth, Ailish decided to go back and close the portal forever. Leaving behind those who were family to her, friends, brother, and a lover. But something happened along the way. Something has happened and now Ailish has no memory of the Great War of the Ring or any of her friends.
She does know it exists, but believes it to be nothing but a dream. A fantasy to escape her life which seemed to be hell. But someone from the past still lives on throughout the millenniums and has come back for Ailish. But will Ailish listen? Or will she keep living life as though nothing has ever changed with the memory of that was replaced of the truth. No friends. No family. Nothing but chaos from the Uruk-hai and Orcs and a ruined home.
Galadriel closed her eyes, concentrating. Then, seemingly, the time seemed right, for she glided over to her mirror, where all past, all present, and all future dwelled. She watched a young adult relaxing in her home, which was near the edge of an Amazon.
"(It is time little one.)" Galadriel whispered.
Her voice traveled across her garden like light, engulfing all forms. Even the trees seem to stand straighter, encouraged by her voice. Cupping her hands together, she created a mist. With a wave of her hands, it started to twirl, faster and faster until it burst into a million brilliant shards of light, then the shards fell lightly into her mirror, resuming the mist-like appearance they had first possessed.
Galadriel than chanted. "(Reality. Fantasy. Two paths that stand in her way. Two doors locked away in the back of her mind, only to be open when she is strong enough to break it down. Light of the heart. Darkness from afar. Hope. Destiny. Help her open up a piece of memory to reveal all that has happened. Help her find her way back home. Where she truly belongs.)"
Another mist covered the mirror and all images were gone from sight.

Ailish was reading a map of Central America and the top part of South America. This is what she called relaxing. Black markings upon the map indicated where the Uruk-hai's were traveling and the red markings were where big groups of the said creatures would be staying. The blue markings were the places that Lord Andrew sent the creatures to destroy in to nothing but ruins.
Sighing, Ailish sat down in her chair, shaking her head. She props up her right elbow on the arm chair, her forefinger coming to her lips in wonder and in deep thought. Too long has it been since the death of her father, and the increasing of the cursed dream. Since she left her hometown, the dream only came once every two months. The second year in El Salvador, it came twice every one month. Third year, it came five times a month. And now in her fourth year of living in El Salvador, the dream has occurred every time Ailish slept.
Shaking her head to keep her mind off the dream, Ailish looked over to the radio on another table when someone foreign started to speak in hurry and fear. They seemed to be talking quickly in German. Many around the world still live but they seemed not to get any help from their government. Ailish scolded at that thought. She knew one could never trust the damn government. They were nothing but lying thieves. Wanting nothing more but your money, so they invented 'taxes' and anything else they could come up with to take your money.
The one good thing came from the creatures taking over the world was that it happened before Ailish became of age. So she didn't have to pay any taxes and such. Sighing once more, the woman looked back towards the map, looking at Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. Blue and black markings covered those countries. It has seems that the creatures have been living and breeding there but they always seem to disappear into the jungles of Brazil or just disappearing completely.
"Ayuda! Ayuda! Los monstros! Venga de Tejas y Arizona en dos mil o mas! Por favor! Alguna, venga! Por favor!" (Help! Help! The monsters! They come from Texas and Arizona in two thousand or more! Please! Someone, come! Please!)
Then all was static, then silent. Ailish recognized that voice. It was from a man in Mexico who helped her out when she had no food and was nearly dieing. His name was Julian Rojo and he had a wife and two kids.
"They're coming down through Mexico and possibly Central America!" Ailish stood up quickly and practically ran out of the dinner room into her bedroom. "This is my chance to follow them and find where the hell Andrew's base is!"
And throughout the next month or so, Ailish spent packing and re-packing anything that she needed and waited for sighting of the creatures that have destroyed her life four years ago.
A/N: Short I know, but how was it? Good I hoped. Please review!
