Notes: On special request by 3MCAngel, an Ami/Legolas pairing. Hmm, let's see what I can do with this.

More Notes:

                Elenaithil ('star spring of water') = Mizuno Ami ('Friend of Water', Sailormercury)

Ami refers to herself as this during some of the time, but then goes back to Ami after a while.

                Jukaino Shashu ('Archer of the Woodlands') = Legolas

                Shiroshiou Hagueru ('Lost White City King') = Aragon/Strider

                Jisannin ('Bearer') = Frodo

                Hogosha ('Protector') = Sam

                Gumoriyaku ('Silly Protector') = Pippin (Note: 'moriyaku' actually means 'nanny' or 'nurse' as well as 'protector'. Ami thought it would be silly to call him that, since he doesn't know Japanese)

                Gukishi ('Silly Knight') = Merry

                Sanchuu Toutou ('the ringing of an ax among the mountains') = Gimli

                Shiroshino Omotedai ('Steward of the White City') = Boromir

Ami gives all of them her own little names for later on, at one point. You'll have to read and find out when!

Time-A year or so after the final battle between the Senshi and Galaxia; during the events in LotR

Synopsis: Ami begins to become obsessed with the books Lord of the Rings. When a portal to the world is opened by Sailorpluto, it's up to Ami to find out why and what could be happening there that might call her. While there, can she find love with a certain blond elf?

Part One: Eclipse

All that you touch, all that you see, all that you taste, all you feel, all that you love, all that you hate, all you distrust, all you save, all that you give, all that you deal, all that you buy, beg, borrow, or steal, all you create, all you destroy, all that you do, all that you say, all that you eat, everyone you meet, all that you slight, everyone you fight, all that is now, all that is gone, all that's to come, and everything under the sun is in tune, but the sun is eclipsed by the moon…

"Ami-chan, you have your nose stuck in that book again?" the voice of Hino Rei caused Ami to look up from the book she had gotten recently from the library and look over at her friend. The dark-haired priestess was also reading a book about temples, but her eyes were on the title of the book. Shukun No Kanawa, it said in Kana, but in English it would have read Lord of the Rings. The book was the last in the line, Return of the King, and though Rei usually read nothing of the sort, all the hype over the movies had let her know about the books.

Ami didn't answer Rei's first question, so the miko (priestess) spoke again. "You're not going to go and see that movie with Usagi-chan and the others, are you? I mean, you're not going for the--."
Ami quickly looked up to answer. "I only just heard about it, and decided to read the books before I saw the movies. I thought I would re-read this one so I could know what would happen afterwards. Right now I'm also trying to learn Sindarin."

"What?"

"One of the languages of the Elves in the books. I wanted to learn more, so I found a place that helped with translating Japanese to Sindarin."

The two girls finally gave up their reading and went to go home, hoping for some time to themselves and some relief from the usual fighting. Despite the fact that Galaxia, and in a way Chaos, has been destroyed nearly a year ago, some youmas still came up once in a while, and the group was sometimes called to fight off the rouge demons.

Ami Mizuno, better known as Sailormercury, the Senshi of Water, walked slowly towards her room when a figure appeared nearby. The tall, dark figure Ami knew, and she smiled at the form of Sailorpluto, the Senshi of Time.

"Pluto-san! What are you doing here so late? Is there another attack?"

"No, but its something different, Ami-chan. I need you to come with me, quickly, and not ask any questions."

Ami nodded, and was about to move when Pluto stopped and thought. "Pack quickly, mainly food if you can. You'll also need your henshin."

Confused but obedient, the Senshi of Water nodded and moved to get the things she might need for a trip. Once it was packed, Ami appeared once more before Pluto. The taller, older Senshi nodded. "Good, you are ready. As we travel, I will fill you in. I'm sorry for this, Ami-chan, but one of us must go and help out. The youmas we have been fighting are not just leftovers of Chaos. But I cannot tell you much here. Time is of the essence. Come, quickly!"

A portal to the realm of Time opened, and the two Senshi headed into the world quickly, Ami unsure of her purpose in this whole thing.

"The world of Middle-Earth is one that is only partly connected to our past. Unlike Earth, where elves, dwarves and wizards have fallen into myth and legends, Middle Earth is composed of these races, co-existing with humans for the most part."

"But then the Rings were forged," Ami stated, walking behind Pluto as she listened to what the taller Senshi said.

"Yes. Sauron did well in helping to give the Rings power, but in the end power corrupted only the men. Ami," Pluto turned to her friend as she stopped to explain more, "You've read the books, you know the story. I want you to become part of the Fellowship for a very important reason. You see, after we defeated Galaxia, for just a moment all of Time and Space was opened to the new revival of the Galaxy Cauldron. The opening, however, let in a new evil to Middle-Earth, one that has aligned itself against Gondor and a specific group. If you don't go with them and help, it may reach Frodo and capture the Ring. If it does so, then Sauron will be gone, but a newer, greater evil will rule Middle-Earth."

Ami thought on this, then suddenly realized something. "Wait, Frodo only goes with the Fellowship until Boromir's death. Why is it at Gondor and a group? Do you mean the biggest part of the Fellowship that goes to fight at Gondor and the Tower of Teeth? You mean--."

"Ami, the reason it doesn't go after Frodo for the most part is because of Gollum and Sam. The evil set itself to gaining the power over whoever it could. Aragon and the others are the ones who meet up with Gandalf the White, you know, and who can really have the power to find Frodo. Aragon, with his status as King of Gondor and the one who could unite all Men is who it is after for a moment, because of Isildur's blood running through his veins. When Frodo falls, or sees Aragon, he will give him the Ring if he can. That will be what the evil is waiting for. So it can possess Aragon and take the Ring. You have to watch over Aragon and the others there. Frodo will trust any of them, but Gollum and Sam he will never hand the Ring over to of his free will."

Ami frowned as the continued onward. "I will be part of the Fellowship?"

"Elrond owes me a favor."

"Ah."

The two Senshi finally came to rest in the house of Elrond, where Ami looked around with wide-eyes interest. Pluto turned once more to her friend, giving her a note then kneeling before her to talk. "I'm sorry, but you cannot use your computer here, and only henshin if you feel you must. If you do when you shouldn't, then the evil will find you all the faster. I leave you with my love and the hopes of us all. Protect them."

Ami nodded, and was pointed the way towards Elrond. With a deep breath, the shyest but smartest of the Senshi wandered over to meet up with the Lord of Rivendell.

*

"Elrond-sama, I must thank you for such hospitality," Ami told the tall ruler of the elves of Rivendell as she sat and ate.

"You are most welcome, Ami, but now I must ask you for some help as well. Lady Setsuna told me that you are very much a doctor, a healer of sorts in your world. I would like that tomorrow you come with me to visit young Frodo Baggins."

Ami nodded, and slept well before being awoken and once more dressed in the clothing of elves, walked with Elrond into the room. Frodo was asleep, his skin pale, and slightly slick from sweat. Ami quickly looked at the bandaged scar and re-bandaged it before touching the boy's forehead. He had only a slight fever, but from Elrond had told her, it was going down and he was nearly ready to awaken.

Slowly, Frodo seemed to awaken, Gandalf taking a seat nearby and beginning to smoke his pipe as the young man did. He whispered dreamily, "Where am I?"

"You are in the house of Lord Elrond," Gandalf answered, "and it is 10 o'clock in the morning, on October the 24th, in case you want to know."

Frodo slowly woke up, and sat up, wincing slightly at the pain in his shoulder as he did, then looked over to the gray-cloaked wizard. "Where were you? Why didn't you meet us?"

Gandalf looked slightly saddened. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was…delayed…" Gandalf's eyes grew distant for a moment, then he came back and smiled at Frodo as Sam came in and quickly embraced his friend.

"Sam never left your side, Frodo," Gandalf told him, "and you owe your recovery to Lord Elrond and Elenaithil, his friend."

Ami, surprised at the new name, smiled at Frodo as he looked for the first time at herself and Elrond-sama. Elrond smiled as he said, "Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins."

Legolas Greenleaf, son of the woodland elf King Thranduil looked once more over at the blue-haired girl that stood near Lady Arwen. The girl wasn't as tall as some human females he had seen, nor was she like any he had seen in a while. The girl was said to be a friend of Lord Elrond and there to come to the committee of the races of the free world.

It wasn't until later that Legolas found out that the girl was called Elenaithil. When he spotted her playing an odd lyre near a spring, and seeming to look up at the night sky, he found that the name suited her. 'Star Spring', he thought, 'You are very odd, human child. What are you doing, meddling in the affairs of wizards and elves?'

"Elenaithil," a young Halfling came up to where she was, "Come on, I want you to meet Bilbo."

"Oh, I already have, Pippin-kun! You only want me to see what mischief you and Merry-kun can get into!"

"That, and I want you to name him something. I like my name."

"You wouldn't if you knew what it meant, Gumoriyaku. Fine, I shall see Bilbo again, but no names, Gu-kun!"

The blue-haired girl wandered off with the Halfling, and Legolas walked back inside. Whoever that girl was, he would probably find out about her later.

"Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. You have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle-Earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate--this one doom," Elrond gestured towards the column in the middle of the meeting place. "Bring forth the ring, Frodo."

Frodo slowly stood and walked over, placing a small, golden ring in the center of the place. He returned to sit, smiling slightly as Ami, who sat beside him, squeezed his hand slightly when he began to look slightly tired.

As the two watched in silence for a moment, Boromir stood and said they should take the Ring. Aragon told him no, Aragon's status as the heir to Gondor was made known by Legolas, and Gimli tried to destroy the Ring with his axe.

When that happened, Frodo recoiled and seemed to be in pain. Ami quickly moved closer to make sure he was okay, and only half-listened to what was being said when suddenly, a whole group of arguments took place. Ami and Frodo looked up to see the groups of men, dwarves, and elves, and even Gandalf, arguing among themselves.

"They will destroy themselves," Ami whispered, "even the ones who protected my princess never fought such."

Frodo looked at the Ring, then back to Ami. "I must take it, mustn't I?"

Ami smiled and nodded, "Who better to show them what bakas they are then the smallest of the group? I will back you, Frodo."

Frodo nodded, then stood up and yelled, "I will take it! I will take it!" The arguments died down quickly as Ami stood behind Frodo as he said, "I will take the Ring to Mordor! Though…" Frodo paused, unsure now. "I do not know the way."

Gandalf looked saddened, but smiled and touched a hand to Frodo's shoulder. "I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, so long as it is yours to bear."

Aragon came forward as well, kneeling before the small Hobbit. "If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword."

"And my bow!" the Elf prince Legolas said, coming up next to Gandalf.

"And my axe!" Gimli said a second later, but from the looks the two gave each other, Ami wondered what might happen if they should be left alone too long. She didn't want either to die, after all.

Ami waited until Boromir joined, then stood up and turned to the men, "I come from another land, and it is my duty to protect the one who will carry such burdens. I will come as well, Frodo, and see what I can do."

"Hey!" a new voice from the bushes made everyone turn towards the back and see Sam come running out from there to join Frodo's side. "Mr. Frodo ain't goin' nowhere without me!"

Elrond smiled slightly at this, saying, "No indeed, it is hardly possible to separate you two, even when he is invited to a secret council and you are not."

The sounds of two more Hobbits joining in made Ami laugh at Elrond's face. "Elrond-sama, your security isn't that good. I would have told you that Halflings make the best spies when they are not thinking with their stomachs!"

Elrond sighed, then stood a little taller as he looked at them all. "Very well then. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring."

"Great!" Pippin said, looking to Merry and Frodo, then back to Elrond. "Where are we going?"

*

The group was preparing to leave. Ami slowly walked into her room and looked through her packed things, finding that she had the books she needed so she didn't have to fall behind in school, and some supplies that could be helpful in case of accidents and such. A small flash of blue made her turn, and she gasped in surprise. There, sitting on the bed, was the Mercury Lyre. Usually, it only appeared when she was Sailormercury, but now it was here, and without her henshin.

'Odd,' she thought, 'Does this mean that our powers are growing, or that there are dangerous times to come? Silly, Ami, there are, you know this! Still, why would it appear now? Am I really growing more powerful? Usagi has her final power, so I've seen, but we are all still as powerful as when the Animates destroyed us. Could this be my call to a new power?'

Ami picked up the lyre and stroked a few strings. A beautiful melody came form it, and she saw a small flash of cold, blue water emerging.

'So I am. I wondered why my power over water was growing so much. I can feel the water moving, towards the sea and towards the Enemy. Ah, for calmer days! But even a stream will run into rapids, though it be cool and clear in some parts! I will bear these rough times and grow stronger, for my Princess.'

Ami lifted up her pack and held onto the lyre, walking out to where the Fellowship waiting to depart. She walked behind Aragon, watching the one she was here to protect.

'I protect the Prince-King, just as I protect the others and just as I protected the Prince and Princess of my world. I will not fail in this!'
