Hi, all those LOTR-crazie peoples out there!! You're gonna luv this story. I do not own LOTR. I only own a couple of new characters I thought of. Before ch.1, Merry and Pippin were stealing vegetables from farmer Maggot and found a sword with a black blade. It belongs to Sauron's evil brother Saulon. (I know, that's the oldest one in the book.) Merry's father and all his descendants are bound to the sword, bla bla bla, and Merry must destroy it.
Chapter 1: The News
The forests around Imladris was a beautiful sight to behold. The land was very green and fertile. On this particular day, a small caravan of Elves were slowly moving along the pathway leading to the house of Elrond. The borders of Rivendell was lately being attacked by Orcs and they thought it safer to move more inland. As they were going along, suddenly a large group of Orcs jumped out of nowhere and begand attacking them. Elvish soldiers were hiding in the trees to aid if needed and they began their own attack on the Orcs. One particular Elf maiden was the only woman fighting. She had long brown hair, crystal blue eyes, and fair skin. She was clad in the garb of an Elvish soldier.
"Fall back! Fall back to the river!!" she yelled.
All the Elves ran and rode to the shallow river close to Elrond's house.
"Surrender, she-Elf!" an Orc yelled.
"If you want the land, come clame it!" the Elf maiden yelled back.
The Orcs slowly started to advance on the Elves.
"Eglastio beth dir. Remon ne dlu hulia. Eglastio beth dir. Remon ne dlu hulia!" she said in Elvish.
As she said that, the river water formed into shapes of horses and charged at the Orcs, wiping them out. All the Elves behind her cheered and laughed to finally be safe. They walked and rode the rest of the way to Elrond's home. When they reach it, Lord Elrond was standing in the entryway to greet them. The Elf maiden dismounted her horse and walked up to Lord Elrond.
"The sun shines down upon your victory today, my daughter." Elrond said, smiling.
"Thank you, Father." she said.
She walked through the entryway up to her room, overlooking the entryway. A tall, dark Elf-man named Earo walked up to Lord Elrond.
"My Lord Elrond, I have news for you." he said.
"What is it?" Elrond asked.
"Saradoc's bane has been found." Earo answered.
Elrond's eyes widened.
"Mithrandir and a group of Perian are headed this way. They will be here in two days." Earo said.
"Send one of our strongest soldiers to go with them." Elrond said.
"Sir, none of our soldiers can be spared. Our borders are still in danger of attack." Earo said.
"There is no one else." Elrond said.
"Well... sir, mabey we could send your daughter Kira." Earo suggested.
"No! I will not allow my youngest daughter to be put into such danger!" Elrond said.
"Sir there is no one else." Earo said.
Elrond sighed and looked up to the open windows of Kira's room.
"Very well then. I'll tell her." Elrond said sadly.
He walked up to Kira's room where he found her sharpening her sword.
"Kira." he said.
Kira looked up.
"Oh, hello, Father." she said.
"Kira, I need to speak to you of a matter of great importance." Elrond said.
"What?" Kira asked.
"Saradoc's bane has been found." Elrond answered as he walked a little more into the room.
"The One Sword." Kira confirmed, her voice a little shakey. "What of it?"
"Mithrandir and a small group of Hobbits are headed here. They'll be here in two days. None of our soldiers can be spared to go with them, and you must go." Elrond said.
"M- me?" Kira asked, surprized. Her father always liked for her to stay close by, much less let her go on a dangerous quest.
"Yes, you." Elrond said.
"I accept. I'll go." Kira said proudly.
"Fine. You'd better start getting ready." Elrond said as he left the room.
Kira was very proud that she would get to accompany the Fellowship on their Quest. All her life she longed to go on adventures. She was not at all like other Elven women, who stayed close to home while the men go out to fight. She always loved fighting, riding, doing the things that men do. She always kept her sword close by and she had the finest horse in the Elven army: a big, beautiful black stallion named Hidalgo. She was also looking forward to going on the Quest because there was a Man that she had met on a previous journey named Eliond, whom she loved, but her father didn't know about it. Her father had always wanted her to marry an Elven Lord and be like a normal Elven woman. Kira knew her father onley wanted to protect her, but she didn't to be protected. She descide right then and there that she would find Eliond and marry him if he would still have her.
