Disclaimer: all but two of the characters aren't mine. And the characters are Tarì Palantir and Alassë Palantir.

A/n: Tarì Palantir is 300 years old and this is running parallel to the original story. Tarì's father died when she was young. It ia also AU, and occasionally elves do marry twice.

Chapter 1: How it began

Tarì was felling restless again, she was a lot like her mother Arwen with one major difference she could see the future more often than her mother or even her grandfather. Tarì has a twin, with whom she shares everything, Alassë. Tarì and Alassë are identical except for their hair colour, Tarì has long blond hair and Alassë has dark brown hair.

"Mum, when will Aragorn come through again?" Tarì asked.

"He will arrive soon Tarì, why?" Arwen answered, she was pleased that her daughters got on well with the ranger.

"I would like more lessons on sword fighting, and everyone says he's the best teacher around" Tarì replied. "Mum it's happening again" Tarì said referring to her visions. "I see a group of nine people I recognise three of them, Aragorn, Gandalf and Legolas Greenleaf."

"This is becoming quite a habit of yours Tarì." Her mother remarked "did you happen to find out what they were doing?"

"They were going on a journey of some sort I think it was to destroy a ring or something" Tarì said. "I think I'm supposed to follow them." Tarì said as if she was reciting an uninteresting assignment

"Well we'll have to talk to your grandfather first, as you are still only a child." Arwen said. She was secretly worried about Tarì as Tarì was the more adventurous twin.

"Mum, you know I can handle myself. Legolas showed me how to use a bow and arrow and I always take my healing kit with me." Tarì protested. Since Tarì turned 200 she was constantly visiting the neighbouring Elvan communities.

"Grandad may I please go on a journey" Tarì asked her grandfather.

"What have you seen Tarì?" Elrond asked. He instinctively knew what was on his granddaughters mind.

"I see nine people going on a journey to destroy a ring, included in the group are Aragorn, Legolas and Gandalf. I see the group splitting and one never making it home to his family. I see that I am to follow them unseen, to guide the ring bearer and protect him from harm. May I go please, I'll be alright" Tarì said in her most grown up tone. She really wanted to go on this journey to prove that she could look after herself.

"I think it would be ok. However you will need to let Legolas and Aragorn know that you will be following and that you will try to help out if it is necessary." Elrond stated.

"Yes grandad, I'll speak to them. I think Lego will try to keep me home though." Tarì observed. Tarì always calls Legolas Lego as it was easier for her to say and he doesn't mind it.

A/n: well there you have it the first chapter of my first ever fanfic. Please let me know what you think. Review and I will write some more.
