A Fan fiction that takes place after the Hobbit and some points during the War of the Ring. I hope I do well on this story seeing how it is my first one on this site.

All rights belong to the creator of the series J. R. R. Tolkien i own nothing except my OC Adelpha.

I am unsure how this will go but please let me know what you think :D p.s bold text is old Bilbo taking about the story when it goes to the past


-In the home of the Baggins (present day shortly before the War of the Ring) -

"Uncle Bilbo?"asked Frodo aloud as he walked through the house hold. "Where are you?".

Frodo looked high and low, all through the house and yet there no sign of his Uncle.

"Where could that hobbit have gone to?" he questioned as he took a bite of the apple he had in his hands.

He then heard a faint sound of a voice outside, rushing to the door Frodo opened it up to see his Uncle carrying or dragging a large crate of some kind.

"Uncle Bilbo?" asked Frodo as he walked to him.

"Ah! Frodo! be a good lad and help me with this." asked Bilbo as he opened the gate in front of him. With the gate open Frodo got a better look at the large crate, it didn't seem as big as he thought maybe about his height so why was his Uncle having so much trouble with it?

"Well? don't just stand there staring, grab the other end and help me carry it!" grunted Bilbo as he pulled Frodo out of his trance "yes sir" he replied.

As Frodo soon found out the crate didn't need to be big but it sure was heavy which caught him off guard a bit.

"Goodness Uncle, what's in here that makes this so heavy?" asked Frodo as he struggled to help carry it into the house, "something very special my dear Frodo something very special indeed" replied Bilbo as he and Frodo carried the crate into living room.

"Alright just place it right here" said Bilbo as they sat the crate down carefully. "Whats in it?" asked Frodo again as Bilbo left the room to get something to open it with.

"Patience my dear boy Patience" said Bilbo as he came back into the room with a knife to cut the rope that tied the box together. Carefully Bilbo cut the rope around the crate, he then removed the lid to reveal"a sword?" asked Frodo as he looked up at his Uncle "what do you need this for?"

Bilbo looked at Frodo and then back at the sword "it's needed for... nothing after all... it served purpose a long time ago my boy."

Taking the sword out of the box the blade shimmered and gleamed as if it was praising for being let out, "ahhhh it's been a long time since I've seen this out in the open" sighed Bilbo as he looked the weapon over.

He noted the old leather that had been around the handle, the blue stones that made up the base of the handle and the pointed bars that stuck out and curved down to try a protect the wielder's hand. He also admired the blade a beautiful piece of work it was. Crafted from the finest metal in Middle Earth the blade shaped to look like a dancing flame held in place while the designs on the blade stood out, it had elegant curves up and down the blade with leafs, flowers and the moon and the sun together making the blade something to look at.

But what really got his attention was the hole in the handle of the blade.

"It appears that a piece is missing" stated Frodo as he took another bite of his apple.

"It's not really missing my boy" replied Bilbo as he walked out of the room and into his study "the owner of the sword took it of course."

"But why would the person who owned the sword do that?" questioned Frodo as he walked in behind his Uncle to see that he placed the sword down against his desk and

now he was holding a piece of paper.

Frodo quietly walked up behind him to see the paper, "who's that?" he asked startling his Uncle a bit.

Bilbo let out a frustrated sigh "I wish you wouldn't do that" he said as he looked back at the paper.

"Ok but really who is she?" asked Frodo once more as he finished his apple.

" 'she' is an old friend, the one who owned the sword you just saw, and she is also the one who has the missing piece to it as well" explained Bilbo as he stared at the paper before him.

The paper had a drawing on it, the drawing was of a girl a young teen, she was standing up with her sword in hand and the blade touching the ground, she wore a green tunic that came down like a dress with white leggings, leather belt around the middle and a black cloak around her shoulders .

"Right ok but whats her name and how do you know her?" asked Frodo explaining his question a bit more.

Bilbo sighed "her name is Adelpha, she was..an interesting person, a very curious girl who was for sure and how I know her is well...she fell out of a tree I was sitting under."

Bilbo eyed is nephew waiting for a response.

"A tree?" asked Frodo as he watched his Uncle nod his head 'yes'. At this Frodo couldn't help but laugh he knew his Uncle was a very good story-teller but this was just silly.

Once Frodo stopped laugh he looked up at his Uncle to see that he was looking very serious "your..your not joking?" he asked as he Uncle turned back around to look at the paper again.

"No Frodo I wasn't" replied Bilbo.

Frodo felt bad he thought maybe his Uncle had just made it all up and that this Adelpha person wasn't real but he sees now that wasn't the case, looking at the sword Frodo picked it up to look at it.

"Uncle Bilbo?"

"Yes Frodo."

"Do you mind telling about her ..about Adelpha, I know I laughed before but she seems very important to you" asked Frodo as he continued to look the sword over soon finding 'Adelpha' etched into a part of the swords blade.

Bilbo sat there for a moment thinking about the question that Frodo had just asked 'had he not told Frodo about Adelpha at least once?'

That though and many others began to go through Bilbo's mind until Frodo snapped him out of it. "Uncle Bilbo? are you ok?" asked Frodo as he looked at his Uncles face which from what he could tell he was miles away.

Bilbo wasn't ok he hadn't told Frodo once about Adelpha. What kind of friend was he? Bilbo look at Frodo before speaking.

"Do you mean to tell me that I haven't once told you about her?" he asked

Frodo just shook his head 'no' "never really that's why I'm asking you now, that is if your ok with it cause you look a bit pale"

"Huh what? no, no I'm fine pull up another chair my boy and I shall tell you the story about how I met Adelpha" said Bilbo as he rummaged through papers on his desk.

Frodo grinned and went to grab a chair from the kitchen. Once back in the room Frodo placed his chair down, placing it backwards to he could lean on the back of it.

Bilbo sat down in his desk chair and looked at Frodo who had a look of excitement on his face.

"Now then where to begin" said Bilbo as he pondered "ah yes you see Frodo when I met Adelpha it was like any other day, in fact it was much like today really."

-in the past sometime after the unexpected journey

"It was sometime after lunch if I remember right"

"Hello there Mr. Baggins!" shouted a neighboring hobbit

"Hello there" waved Bilbo as he walked from his home down a path set out to an orchid area.

Once there he found a perfect spot under a tree pulling out a book to read. After an hour of reading Bilbo began to hear a strange sound that was like twigs breaking.

"Hello?" he asked looking around the area before him...nothing "Humph probably the wind."

He soon went back to reading and the sounds started again. "Alright" said Bilbo standing up from his spot his book at his side "who's there? come on then stop hiding." He waited and waited nobody came out but the sounds continued.

"Alright look you're not funny now just come on out and stop. this. silliness!" soon after he finished that sentence the loud sound of a tree limb snapping in half rang out and soon fell to the ground along with something else.

Bilbo looked at the sight before him unsure about what just happened. There lying before him was a good size tree limb but not only that but there was something or someone with a black cloak on them laying on top of it. Bilbo looked around to see if anyone else had seen everything, when he didn't find anyone he looked back at the figure lying down on the limb.

Bilbo went closer to the figure picking up a stick near by then poking it to see if it was still alive.

"Um..hello?" asked Bilbo as he poked the figure before him with a stick "are you ok? or alive for that matter?"

After a couple of minutes when the figure didn't move Bilbo decided to be brave and see what was under the cloak.

Bilbo reached out grabbing the cloth and pulling it up to reveal a young girl.

"Oh dear" whispered Bilbo as he checked the girls pulse seeing that she was still alive and then seeing a gold chain with a locket on it. Bilbo picked up the locket to get a better look at it.

"Huh" he said as he looked it over. He tried opening it but the blasted thing was shut tight "well no way of knowing whats inside ...hmmm?" Bilbo looked at the back of it to see a name written in sliver lettering's.

"Adelpha huh?" commented Bilbo as he looked back down at the young girl "well miss Adelpha i bet you have got quite a story to tell huh?"
