Prologue

A boy was standing on the edge of the boundary of a beautiful place crying as a tall brown haired, slender, man came up and asked, "Estel what is wrong?"

"Dan, a group of awful men came up to me and Nawen, and they took her from me?"

The person called Dan swore, and picked up and asked, "Which way did they go Estel?" The boy pointed straight ahead, and Dan continued, "Estel I want you to go to Ada and tell him what has occurred and stay there, Will you do that Estel?" Dan put him down on the ground and Estel ran back to the beautiful building, as Dan started tracking the footprints.

Upon reaching the building he ran straight to the study and Ada's arms, "Ada, some strange men took Nawen and Dan is tracking them." Estel said and promptly broke into tears. Ada comforted him and when Dan came back his news was all but good, Nawen and her kidnappers had vanished.

In another world a tall man who was bent over like he had a to big of a load, and passed a sleeping two year old over to young woman and said, "This little girl has suffered much. I rescued her from her kidnappers and to protect her from those who would harm her I give her to you. Make sure she keeps that ring with her at all times whether on her finger or on a necklace and make sure she has some kind of weapons training." The old man turned and left.

13 years later in this other world.

"Happy Birthday! I have 2 gift for you Niki, this, (she lifts a long package), and something to tell you. Well here it is you were adopted, but it was the best days of our lives." Said Niki"s mom, as Niki unwraps the long package and finds it to be a sword. I gave a fake smile and says, "That's great mom, can I go outside to play with the sword outside?" "Okay."

Once outside, I cried as she ran through the forest with her sword until I tripped and knew no more. When I woke I found that I was in absolutely beautiful room, and that my clothes were different, instead of my t-shirt and jeans there was a tunic and pants. A knock at the door stirred her from her reverie. I looked to see if I had her sword and the ring near me. She looked. The ring was on my necklace and my sword was by me nightstand. So I got up and slowly walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

"Lord Elrond coming to do a checkup. May I come in?"

"Um, ah, Yes." Isn't Lord Elrond a character in Lord of the Rings?

I opened the door and in stepped Elrond. "I am perfectly fine Milord."

"Of course you are, but I have to ask you a few questions."

"Okay, but I have a few for you too."

"What is your name and where do you hale from?"

"Niki, and I was adopted and I hale from a whole other world."

"Really."

"Yes."

"How did you come to be adopted?"

"I don't know, but I only have one clue and it is my necklace."

"Would you like to stay in Rivendel?"

"Sure."

"You may stay, I will get Arwen to help you for tonight."

"What is tonight?"

"A birthday celebration for my adoptive son, Aragorn, though in reality I am his great uncle."

"Wouldn't it be awkward that someone he doesn't know will be there?"

"Yes and no. He was the person who found you in the forest and brought you here and is curious as to how you are doing."

"Um. Okay, I'll go."

He pointed to a door on the other side and said, "A nice warm bath awaits you there and some clothes feel free to explore Rivendel and I will send Arwen to give you a heads up on some etiquette and to be your friend, well now I'll leave."

With that he left. I then walked to the door and opened and indeed there was a nice warm bath waiting for her so she striped her self of her clothes and got in the bath. The bath was warm but something was wrong she thought as her head began to spin, and an old memory came unbidden into her head, something long forgotten. I was running towards someone I called my big brother I was telling him not to go somewhere and he was saying it will be fine. Suddenly big arms stretched over me and picked me up as another pair hands did the same to my brother but he broke free and I was yelling Estel, Estel! And he was running after them calling Nawen, but soon her captors were running and I saw my brother no more. With a sudden jolt I woke up in my bath and quickly got dressed in the beautiful cerulean blue dress and belted on my sword and left to explore.

As she turned a corner she met up with Arwen. We talked and got to know each other. "Hey Arwen, do you have a boyfriend? It's kind of hard to see you without one."

"Yes, I do. Would you like me to tell you about him?"

"I would love to hear about him."

"Well, when he was very young he lost his baby sister, when I say lost because she disappeared. Taken by orcs but not dead, is the only thing we know. For when my brother came back from the hunt for her they found the orcs dead and the girl gone, and he has been searching ever since."
