One day

It was normal school day for us , wake up , take shower and go to breakfast. Me and my Friend Aurora , we went to the boarding school. it was our last year in high school , i was going to be 18 and Aurora was 19. I had brown hair which touched my shoulders , i was 167 cm tall (5'5 feet.)I was not thin or not chubby i was fit. Aurora had darker brown almost black hair to her upper back. She was 168 cm tall (5'6) , She was thinner than i was by her lived together in same room at our dormitory. One day we didn't expect anything wierd happen , well we were both wrong.

We were going to visit a natural park , i wasn't much of a interested in it but Aurora was jumping from joy. She loved animals , she found every animal cute almost expect spiders and some others. Well we were sitting in a bus , our teacher was telling to us to behave and not to trash anywhere. Normal things , i was listening music. song changed to Misty mountains cold , i closed my eyes and listened to the baritone voice that was singing. Yes as you may have guessed i loved hobbit and Lotr. I didn't have any favorite character i liked all of them.

Our buss came to stop and i stopped my music, we left the buss and made a line. we were put in a six member group. In my group was gladly Aurora and some who i didn't know , we had some old short guy. We had been walking around for two hours and finally we had some rest. I had sit down on a rock to rest and then to eat.

" Lilian look a bunny " I heard an excited voice of Aurora

I turned to look at the direction where the voice came from and saw that she was running after some bunny.

" Aurora , come back and let the bunny be " I had stood up and walked after her , i calmly moved the branches away from my way and tried to follow Auroras giggles.

" Aurora " i said as i didn't hear her giggles anymore , i looked around and didn't anymore see the trail or my other group mates.

" Aurora this isn't funny come on , we need to go back. " I moved forward again

" kyaahh ! " I heard voice yell which sounded very familiar , i started to run towards the voice but tripped on a rock and sent myself rolling down a hill. My back hit a tree making my body stop and whimpered from the pain.

" Dammit " i cursed as i started to walk forward , pain was in my lower back making me walk slower.

" Aurora where are you , come on this isn't finny anymore. You had your fun .." i said begging.

Suddenly i heard a growl , i turned around and looked for the source of the voice. Bushes behinde me started to move , i took a careful step back. Suddenly the moving stopped , i waited for something to jump out.

" Surprise ! " Aurora said running from the bushes hugging me.

" Aurora dammit ! i tought you were hurt , why did you make such a noice to scare me " I said as i hugged her.

" sorry sorry , wait what noice. I just moved in the bushes moving them not making any other noices. " She said.

I felt my blood freeze , "she didn't make the noices, who did it then " i tought. Soon i felt eyes on my back , i turned around and froze. there was wolf like thing looking straight to us , it was borwn and it bared it teet to us growling. it licked it lips and moved one step forward , i moved one back moving my arm towards Aurora.

" Aurora , w-when i say you run you run okay. " I whispered.

I saw her nod , i moved another step back as the wolf thing moved one forward. Another and another.

" Now ! " I said as i turned around and pushed her forward.

We started to run downhill moving the branches away from our way some of them still hitting on our faces , i looked behinde me and saw that the thing was still following and howling like calling more help. I started to run more faster , Aurora was ahead of me , we run straight through some small brook. I felt my shoes get wet but i still moved forward , i heard more howls coming from our sides.

I looked around and saw some other things running next to us , i moved faster running past Aurora taking her hand and pulling her forward.

" C'mon , we need to find some place to hide " I said as i breathed harder.

We turned straight to left where the other thing was farther behinde , then i noticed rocks and run there finding a hole where we could fit. I pushed her in and then my self , we were lying on our stomach trying to go further as possible to hide ourselfs. We heard the wargs steps comming towards the rocks , there were more of them. The first three run past them going forward. Then other two came , they had some kind of raiders on their backs.

" w-what are those " Aurora whispered as i felt her shake , i shook my head saying i don't know. I knew i had seen those things somewhere. Suddenly they started to talk with each others , then it clicked me. Wargs and they riders Orcs , i felt my eyes go wide. Those things only existed in Middle-earth and middle-earth was fiction a movie a tale only. Not real , right ?

Those things moved forward not noticing us , we sighed in relief but still not moving. We waited for couple of minutes and then moved out of the hole still looking around for those beasts.

" what were those ugly things " Aurora asked quietly

" Orcs ... and wargs .. " i said as i moved quickly other way taking Auroras hand and pulling her with me

" How do you know , Lilian , Lilian anwser me " She said , i looked at her in the eyes and saw how scared she was and close to crying.

I turned around and hugged her , i felt her hands go around my middle

" I'm not sure if this is real , b-but i believe we are in Middle-earth " I said

" W-what , y-you mean Middle-earth as in Lord of something and Hobbit things " She said looking at me wide eyes

" I'm not sure are we dreaming or something , but still let's go and find some place safe. " I said and turned around pulling her with me walking ahead.

After walking for sometime , we heard the howl again. Ignoring it and moving forward , it heard couple of time again. Then it stopped , we were still walking as the howl sounded closer to us and clealer.

I flinched and started running again as the howl came closer with others behinde it , the trees were starting to less and soon we found ourselfs in a cliff. I pulled Aurora behinde me , soon three wargs came out of the forest not soon after them came the other two with their riders. They were smirking and laughing , i looked at them and saw that they were closing us making us go right on the edge of the cliff. I looked down and saw a big river down there , i moved my gaze back to the wargs as they were coming closer and closer.

" Human scums " one of the snarled

" look boys we found food " other said to wargs which licked their teeths starting to move closer to us.

I felt Aurora grip my jacket tightly as i looked at the wargs which were even closer ,i looked behinde us seeing that there was no room to move. Wargs came closer and closer , i thought any ideas for to escape.

" Hold on me tight Aurora " I said to her as i turned around to hold her around her waist

" W-what are you doing Lilian , Lilian don't tell me... " She didn't have time to anwser as i pushed us down the cliff towards the river. We were both screaming and falling faster towards the water.

When we fell the water was so cold that my lungs were freezing , i moved towards the surface holding on Aurora. As we reached the surface we were both coughing , the current started to move us. I tried to stop us by crapping on some stones but no any luck , we were going faster. I saw one bigger rock coming towards us , i moved Aurora on my back.

" Wrap your hands around my neck and hold tight " I said as i breathed hard starting to move towards the rock.

I reached towards it trying to fight the current that tried to move us away from the rock , i finally took hold of the rock and hold on it with all my power.

" Dammit , climb on the rock Aurora ! " I said and felt her move from my back on the rock

I looked up and saw that Aurora jump from the rock on the land , i started to climb on the rock and jumped myself on the land. My clothes clinged on my skin , i felt a wind hit us making both of us shiver from cold.

" let's go and find somewhere shelter " I said and moved slowly as my whole body shook from the cold.

Aurora nodded and we moved towards the forest , forest was thick and no sky could be seen. So knowing was it day or evening anymore , the forest was so dark anyway. Something moved around us making the bushes shake and twigs snap , i looked around us as we found some place shelter middle of huge rock circle. It would hide us too from those things , maybe.

Me and Aurora were huddled together trying to get warm at least somehow , Aurora had falled asleep after couple of minutes. I listened for anything that would be too close to us , i heard again the twigs snapping. I couldn't sleep because i felt after we had entered the forest that we were watched.

I felt my eyes start to close , the tiredness closing in after everything that had happened today. Running away from wargs , jumping from the cliff and dying almost in the progress.

My eyes closed and i fell in the darkness

~ A ~

I was slowly waking up , something cold was against my skin , Aurora was shaking ... wait what !

I opened my eyes and saw an sword tip pointed at my neck , i started to sweat as i looked on my right side for Aurora , only seeing her in same starte i was. I looked back at the sword looking up at the person holding it , he had long straigth white hair. On his face he had white mask , it had small eye holes to see a cristal blue eyes. Clothing he wore wasn't like dwarves one or elves one , even not normal humans. He had grey panths , two white leg protectioners. Long grey shirt under , white chest protector and two white hand protectors. All of him was grey and white. I looked at him in the eye , suddenly the swords tip left my neck and i was hauled up by same man.

" What are you doing in our lands " He asked , his voice was hard with no emotion. You could see he was the leader of the group.

I looked around me seeing many over 15 people with grey or white hair , shorter or even longer. Same clothes , swords in their hands pointed at us. Ready to attack if order was given , One guy had hauled Aurora up by her arm. She was shaking from fear and was really pale.

" I asked you a question woman , anwser me " He said again making me look at him

" W-we were just running away from wargs " I said my voice shaking

" Why are you even in these woods , far away from village or a town. No normal human could have vandered here by luck , these woods are deadly. Deadly creatures within them , i wonder how hadn't you died yet. How did you even run away from wargs " He said still not showing emotion.

" W-we were with our glass in a glass trip and we got s-separeted from them , we run in the woods then those t-thing found us. We run away and tried t-to hide , but they found us. We were c-chased to the cliff and we j-jumped " Aurora said

Man looked from Aurora back at me with sligth interest in his eyes

" You jumped from the cliff and survived " He asked

I nodded

" A glass trip ? ... interesting ... Amelia and Martha. Search both of them for something suspicious , after that guide them to the village and give them new clothes. " He said and both girls that were called nodded.

Other girl that i thought was Amelia had short white hair , was shorter than the other but still taller than i was. She had slightly thinner body build than the other one but she had muscels. She had sword on the left hip , i could see other blades in her shoes.

Other one Martha was taller than Amelia , i couldnt tell how long her hair was because it was in ponytail. She had muscular body than Amelia and she looked older , she had two swords on her right hip and a shield in her back.

They searched them , taking their phones. Then they started to walk , both of them were pulled by their arms to a village. It wasn't big nor was it small , it had many houses. Children were running around and people talking merrily and walking around. There was old people too , when we walked past the people theyr gazes hit us. Of course they would be interested by some strangers that had been captured.

We were taken in one of the houses , it was bigger than the others. As we stepped inside , in the walls you could see weapons lots of them. Different sice and different looking , there was table in the table was two swords. Other sheat was grey and other white , swords were different than the others were. They were beautiful , they were shining like a moon.

" W-what are those two swords " I asked

" They are our greatest treasure , leaders twin swords. The next leader will be chosen by those swords , swords will decide who will use them. Who can pull them out of they sheats and protect our people. Who is the one that will lead our people " Martha said with respect in her voice.

I nodded and looked back at the swords ,they were so beautiful she wanted to touch them . She almost moved towards them , but they were pulled in different room. Same man who had pointed a sword in her neck was sitting on the other side of the room. Next to him he had old man and old woman both with white hair , they both had white masks on their faces.

" We are going to decide to your fate children " The old woman said

" Are you going be set free or to be killed " old man said

My breath hitched , " killed !?"

" What do you mean killed , we haven't done anything wrong to you " I said

" You have come to our land , we have right to decide what to do with you " Man said

" We haven't hurt anyone of you , is killing too high thing to be set on us ? " Aurora asked scared.

Man , old man and old woman glared us , Man turned to the old woman and whispered something to him. Old woman looked shocked , but still nodded and stood up walking on the other room where we came.

" We are giving you one chance , if you can pull the swords out of these sheats we won't kill you and you can stay here " Man said and stood up.

" Both of us ? " i asked , man nodded.

Old womans footsteps could be heard coming back , i turned around to look at her. I saw tha she was holding same swords that we saw when we came in. Old woman put them down front of us.

" Go ahead and try if you can get the swords out " Man said as the old woman got behinde him , next to the older man.

I looked at Aurora and nodded her , she moved forward taking the grey one in her hands trying to pull it out. It didn't even budge , not an inch. She took the white one and tried again , again the sword not even moving.

It was my turn as Aurora but the white one back down , i moved my hand slowly towards the grey one. Almost felt like it was calling me to touch it , it was so beautiful.

As my hand touch the hilt of the sword i felt warm thing go through my body , i looked at the sword. So beautiful , i pulled the handle.

It moved , not much but it moved. I pulled more , then it moved more.

" I need to get it out , i need to , i'm our only hope. I can do it , i will protect Aurora "

I pulled more

" I will get it out ! "

I pulled hard as i could ...

It came out

Thank you for reading and happy New year !
