Chapter two

o0o

I awoke from the blackness that swept over me when I died, and slowly opened my eyes, not wanting to wake up somewhere that wasn't where I wanted to be. I let out a breath that I had been holding all this time as soon as I saw light and mist like flooring. I got up and noticed that clouds weren't the only thing there, there was a pond with riveting deep blue colours. As I was walking up to it, the mist dissipated and revealed the most lush green grass and felt like silk underneath my feet. The fog pulled back even more and trees appeared not far from the pond. The whole scene was breathtaking, but I couldn't help but wonder, where was I?

I walked up to the edge of the pond, and bent down to touch the water.

"You might not want to touch the water until you have made your decision." I snapped my head around to find a man…no he was too beautiful to be a man. A male, sitting cross legged on the ground, garbed in a white tunic with gold trimmings and intricate detailing. He also wore white leggings with the same detailing.

While I studied him, he held an amused look with just a hint of a smirk. Wow he is beautiful, I thought, he had a perfectly carved face, perfect white hair that went down to his shoulders, and ageless face, no wrinkles, and no lines, but you could read his age by the wisdom shining in his eyes. He stood perfectly still as I read his expression. He is just perfect!

"Well, I'm glad you think so, child." He spoke out of his perfect mouth. I was so hypnotized by his movements, it didn't actually register what he really said to me for a few minutes.

When it finally hit me my eyes widened. "I'm sorry, I-it's just that your so perfect. A-are you God?"

"I guess you can call me that, but my real name is, Eru." His lips pushed past a smirk into a smile.

"Am I in heaven?" That was the question in my mind.

"Something of the sort, you are in a place called the Hall of Mandos, the northern end." He said with a calming tone.

"There is also another question in your mind, is there not?" His smile went to a slight smile. I nodded.

"You want to know why you're here, yes?" I nodded.

"Well then, I shall explain." His hand gestured to a spot next to him. "But please do not stand and be uncomfortable, sit."

I walked over slowly and sat facing him instead of next to him. I like to have face to face conversations. He chuckled, he probably knew I would do that.

We sat there staring into each others eyes. He studied me for quite some time, so I thought, when is he going to explain? I know I died, and I should be in heaven, I think. But what is this place? I have never heard of it.

"Well you see my dear child, since you have done some great deeds, I have thought about it for quite some time now. What to do with you? You are of a rare race though you will not find out what kind yet. You see, I do not interfere with my children's business very often, but they are in horrible trouble now, and I do not want my children's world to end so early, so I ask of you to go to Middle-Earth to simply help." He said at a slow pace, I guess to better understand what he is saying.

"You want me to help? In Middle-Earth? Isn't that the Lord of the Rings movie?" This was really confusing, a whole new world?

"Yes, but it is not a movie, it's real. I know you love to help, and I promise you will have a much better life in Middle-Earth then your life on Earth. But you will encounter difficulties." He raise a brow at me rolling my eyes at the 'but', there always had to be a 'but'.

"And what if I don't want to help?" He dropped his brow.

"You will go straight to heaven. But please I ask of you to help because you are one of very few that can help." He said softly.

I sighed, it's not that I didn't want to help, it's just that I've had a very painful life, and I'm tired. I want to go to heaven and just be with those I have lost, like my Mom, and my Grandma and other family and friends. But there is also a part of me that does want to help. Though I am glad that he said one of very few and not you're the only one for this job.

"You shall have time to think and rest, for time stops here when needed, so you will not be rushed into this decision." He in a calming voice.

I let out a breath of relief. All of the sudden a angelic like being appeared across the pond. "Just don't take too long in your decision, now." He chuckled, I smiled.

"Who is that over there?" I pointed the angelic creature.

"Why that is your guardian angel, Amarian, he has been watching you ever since you were born. Would you like to meet him?" He said lightly. I nodded and stood up.

Eru stood up too, and waved a hand to beckon Amarian over. As he made his way around he floated, and as he got closer I was beginning to think if he was the giant white wolf that saved my life, he had the same white hair as the wolf I encountered before I died, I would have to ask him.

"Hello, dear Adona, it is a pleasure to meet you face to face properly." Amarian said softly with a smile that would have exploded hormone crazed teen girls at home. Amarian was definitely not a human, he had wings that looked like they were made of silk, he also had the whitest kind of white skin with white eyes to match. But his facial structure was not of a human face, he much more beautiful, his face was more…pointed and sharp, yet soft and kind all at the same time. He seemed to glow, but not to the point where I have to look away. I have officially died and gone to heaven. But I have gotten myself into a whole lot of trouble too many times to count, which made me feel bad.

"I'm sorry that you got stuck with me." I said impishly. He laughed the most beautiful laugh anyone could imagine, it sounded like the wind and bells on a merry day.

"I'm not, I requested an adventurous type! Though, it was a lot of work, it's all worth it." he laughed even more at my relieved expression.

"Well, it's your on fault then." I smiled when he continued to laugh. After a few more seconds I joined in his merriment, and then lastly Eru. We all laughed for what seemed like forever, and then we came to a stop.

"Don't you just love children?" Eru asked with a smile.

"Yes. You, dear Adona, have given me much laughter throughout your life span." Amarian smirked, what is this coming to? Smirkwood? Wasn't there a place called Mirkwood in Middle-Earth? At that Eru laughed a full hearted laughed, then told Amarian about my thoughts and he laughed too. Me, I just blushed a bright red strawberry colour. Gotta remember, they can read thoughts!

"Okay, I don't think I can take much more of this! Why don't you go with Amarian to his wing, and there you will stay until you have made your decision." Eru smiled, then left. I turned around to face Amarian, who was already walking away. I skipped after him, when I caught up to him I slowed to a walk with a little bit of spring in my step. I looked to Amarian, who was watching me with an amused expression.

"So…" I said not knowing what to say. This guy, or angel, already knows everything about me so I can't really surprise him.

"So…" Amarian mimicked me with a mischievous smile.

"So…um…" I smirked wanting to see what he would do.

"So…um…" He smiled, but before I could go further he replied.

"So…um…I don't live in my own chambers, I share a place with my fellow angels, I'll find you your own bed though." I raise a brow, was he expecting me to share a bed?

"But, my fellow angels are strange, they are very…curious about the children of Eru, especially females, since we don't have female angels, they are not used to someone of an opposite sex. So they will most likely watch you sleep…and eat…oh, they will probably watch your every move. Just so you know it's not out of spite, but just curiosity." Oh no! I only lived through the embarrassment of life, because no one was watching my every move! I have to be extra extra extra careful now.

"Can't I just tell them go away?" I think we would all say that.

"Yes, but I doubt they will listen." He chuckled.

"You know…I think Eru sent me with you so I would make my decision faster! Man, that guy's smart…" I thought out loud, Amarian giggled, weird I know.

"You just caught on? No I'm just joking." He smiled. I would have came back with a snappy comment about his 'fellow angels' being perverts, but a large structure came into view. It was dark and very detail oriented, it looked sort of like a gothic cathedral, except much more windows and detail. It was breathtaking. I saw angels come and go as they please, with their wings gracefully beating and their armor glistening from the light shining everywhere, some wore darkened robes that covered their faces, making them look very mysterious.

"Well, looks like my fellow perverted friends want to meet you." He said smirking, I didn't make a comment, did I?

"No, I can read your mind when Eru is not around." His smirk turned into a smile.

"Just make sure you don't think that way in front of them, because it's just as good as saying what your thinking out loud." I groaned when I heard this, they want to know every bit of you! As soon as I get a seat somewhere relatively private, I'm going to make my decision. I looked at Amarian who was silently laughing.

"Don't worry, I know a place, but don't think it or else they will know." He stopped dead in his tracks, and straightened his back. He looked at me to do the same, so I did.

As soon as I did, four angels appeared in front of us, all garbed in black robes. I looked at Amarian, he was just starring at them, and I looked at them and they were doing the same. We stayed like that for some time, I wonder what they are doing? Oh, that's right they read minds! Oops sorry, I must be interrupting their conversation.

Amarian Looked at me and smiled mischievously, then grabbed my hand, and all of the sudden I could hear them talk.

"Hello, you must be child of Eru, a female one at that…very interesting." They all looked me up and down, I then decided to play a trick.

"Nice to meet you too, could you see if my shoes are tied?" They all visibly looked down at my feet which were bare, then looked at me with what would probably be confused expressions, but before they could say I wasn't wearing any shoes, I thought something.

"Hey you know it's rude to check someone out!" I thought with a mock horror expression, then I laughed out loud. After a few seconds they started chuckling too, but Amarian was laughing full heartedly, I guess he has more of a lighter spirit, oops! At that they all started laughing whole heartedly.

"I think she still needs some practice." Said the first one, in the middle. I had to look up at them, because they are so tall, maybe 11 feet tall.

"Forgive us, we have not properly introduced ourselves. I am Noble, this is I'shai, Fairmond, Corwent, and Waishien." He named them clockwise.

"Well, nice to meet you all. I'm Adona." I bowed my head just as they had done when they were introduced.

"Hmm, interesting name, but beautiful." Noble said in a soft tone.

"Well, we must be going, dear Adona needs to think without a bunch of immature Angels on her tail." Amarian said. We said our goodbyes and left to the secret place Amarian was talking about. It was another pond, but it didn't have the deep blue colours like the last one.

Amarian sat down gracefully, a motioned with his hand for me to sit next to him, but again I sat in front of him.

"What do you think I should do?" I asked him. Since he has been looking after me since my coming into this world, so I value his opinion greatly.

"Well, it is not my decision. But knowing you I think you should take the Middle-Earth option, it is sure to be an adventure." He winked at me.

"Tis true, but I am tired and I want to see my family." He looked down for a moment.

"Well, you never know, maybe Eru sent one of them down there to Middle-Earth." He did have a point, but what proof do I have…none, that's what. But I only lived what 15 almost 16 years? That is not really a life. At this Amarian nodded.

"Yes you have only lived a sliver of life." Ha said thoughtfully.

"What do I have to do to help? I mean I can't do much, other than dancing." Then I thought of the flute Mark had given me. I searched my pockets and found it, I held it in my hand then gave it to Amarian to study. I wonder if Mark knew?

I thought of how he was acting like it was the last time he would ever see me. Then I suddenly remembered the gash I had gotten from the lion. I reached to touch my back and it was healed but there was still a scar, that was confirmed by Amarian.

"Yes, even though you died you've still got the scar because you might choose to go back to life." He said with a twinkle in his eye. I think he wants to have more adventures! He nodded his head enthusiastically.

"Am I the only one you had to protect that got herself into trouble and adventures too many times to count?" I said with a distant smile.

"Actually you're the only one I get to protect, angels, only protect one person in their lives, though we don't really have lives you get what I mean, right? I nodded. Wow, they only protect one person? Does everyone get an angel? Amarian nodded. What about everyone in the past? That is a lot of angels. Amarian chuckled.

"Do you still get to protect me if I go to Middle-Earth?" I said thoughtfully.

"Yes, I do." He said with a reassuring smile.

I sighed, well I guess since Eru promised (which I guess he can't lie), I can have a little more fun. Amarian nodded furiously at this.

"You really want me to go, don't you?" I asked with an amused look.

"Of course! I think you would really like it, you would be helping people emotionally and physically. It would be good for both of us!" His stunning white eyes turned from amused to pleading.

"Well, I guess it can't hurt that bad. Okay I'll go to Middle-Earth. I'll help!" I stated standing up. Amarian jumped up and grabbed my hands and started jumping around in a childlike way. Of course, I laughed and jumped around with him I'm basically still a child.

"But can I rest a little first?" I was still a little tired from well I don't know…everything!

"Of course! But remember, my fellow angels." He said mischievously , then turned and walked away, or floated away, either one would do.

I walked after him not knowing what else to do.

"Let's find you a bed, so you may rest." That was the last thing he said while we walked back.

The walk back seemed longer than the walk there. The trees were the most magnificent part about the scenery, they had green and gold leaves, and had rich brown trunks with detailing in them, which was odd because there aren't any details in the trees on Earth. Well I guess since this is heaven, I mean Hall of Mandos, there is extra work in the craftsmanship.

When we got back to the place were Amarian stays we were met by an angel that was taller then the rest and had a darker red colour for a robe.

"Hello, Amarian, I see you have returned from Earth, how was it?" He asked in a soft tone.

"It was quite amazing! The female I got was very…my type I guess." He winked at me.

"Female? Well that must have been exciting! I feel bad for whoever your type is, after all these millions of years I still don't know what to do with you." He smirked.

"Millions of years?" I blurted out. His eyes snapped to me, then they got bigger when they saw me.

"Yes, dear Adona, we angels are older then time itself." Amarian chuckled at my expression then laughed when he saw the other angel's expression.

"You're the female Amarian had to protect, aren't you?" The angel's expression changed from surprise to calmness.

"Yes, and I guess you feel bad for me?" I smirked.

"Ha ha, yes I guess I do feel bad for you. My name is Romian. And you are probably Adona." He smiled brightly.

"How did you know?" I faked being dense.

"I guess it just sort of came to me." He smiled even bigger.

"Well since you two are now well acquainted. I have a favor to ask of you, Adona here needs to have a bed for her own for just a little while, she is going to Middle-Earth." At that everyone around us snapped their heads our way and looked straight at me.

"Well, that is a relief, Middle-Earth does need help, I think she is the bo-" Romian was cut off by Amarian by holding up his hand and yelling, "No! Eru said she will learn in the future, right now she just needs to rest."

"Oh, sorry. Well then follow me." He walk in the direction most of the angels were. We followed him upstairs and into a hall with maybe a bazillion doors. The place was truly magnificent, there was so much detail in the doors and the walls, it was not made of wood but darker marble, it is not of any colour I know of, but it is wonderful.

We finally came to a door with the same symbols as the ones on my flute, I forgot to ask Amarian about the flute! Forgetful me! Wait they can hear me, oops.

"I'll tell you later." Amarian said with a smiled.

"This will be the bed you can rest on." Romian pointed to a bed in the corner, it was huge! Probably the size of my room on Earth!

"Now I know what you mean by getting a bed all to myself! You can put my whole family on that bed and still have room!" I exclaimed. The two angels laughed out loud.

"Yes, well go on get some rest." Amarian said while giving me a gentle shove. Then that is when I realized that Amarian was right, I saw about 45 angels watching me from above. My mouth dropped. I leaned in to whisper to Amarian.

"Are those the angels you said will be watching me?" I nervously whispered.

"Yep." Was all he said then shoved me a little harder to get me to go faster.

"Just ignore them they won't judge you." He smiled to make me calmer again, then I laid in the bed. Amarian whispered some unknown words then I passed out.

o0o

I woke up from a dreamless sleep, then looked around and found more angels watching me. Don't think anything, was what I kept running through my head as I got up and walked out of the room. I felt like I slept for years! I felt so rested that I felt like jumping up and down for eternity. So I just skipped instead. I laughed at all of the expressions from the angels I passed by and some of them ended up following me, nothing better to do, I guess. I skipped until I bumped into Amarian who was turning a corner.

"Oh I'm dreadfully sorry, I was just coming to check up on you. Do you know how long you slept?" I shook my head.

"You slept four weeks! Four weeks! Every single angel has watched you sleep for hours at a time!" He laughed really hard when he saw my face. Four weeks! What's wrong with me? Then everyone behind me started laughing loudly.

"Look she is finally awake! It's a miracle!" Said Noble while he walked towards me.

"I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to sleep that long!" I exclaimed.

"When you said you were tired I didn't think you were that tired!" Amarian said between giggles. My face turned red, then they laughed harder.

"I almost forgot that Eru made them to where they blush! Oh it's so cute!" Okay now Noble is acting like my Grandma! He laughed harder. After a while of laughing they finally stopped.

"Four weeks of sleeping, you must be hungry." Amarian said taking over a mother's role. Just like magic I felt hungry.

"Follow me." Amarian walked away and I followed and so did everyone else.

"Here, have some manna." Amarian gave me some bread like substance. I nibbled it a little, then bit into it. It tasted like sweet fluff, but it was very filling. After about seven bites I was stuffed.

"This tastes really good, and is very satisfying indeed. But is this all you eat?" I was wondering that for some time now.

"Yes, it is all we need." Noble said watching my every move.

"Interesting." I said thoughtfully.

"Mmmhhmmm," is what I got from Amarian.

"So you want to know about the flute you gave me?" The flute appeared in Amarian's hand. I nodded.

"Well, it's a flute of many purposes, you can call all sorts of animals. But it's most amazing effect is the power of Manwe, a god…sort of, he controls the wind. He helped make this flute for the-" He cut himself off, then thought for a moment, "Anyway, it can control the wind which can be very useful, though you will have to learn the sequence yourself."

Aw man, I have to find the right sequence out of thousands of possibilities! This ought to be fun. Amarian smiled lightly.

"Do you want to practice?" I nodded furiously.

"Okay then, let's go." He got up and walked very fast out the door. I had to run to catch up with him. Then we came to this open field, Amarian gave me the flute back.

"Okay, there are five chimes, each chime represents a syllable, the first: Ai, the second: Ea, the third: Vi, the fourth: Sh, and finally the fifth: Ar. You have to combined those syllables to make a word in an ancient language, for example: Aieavishar, which is not a word but you get it right?" I nodded.

"Okay, you have to blow through each one very clearly, or else you have to start over again, here you try." I blew through the first hole, and it sounded like something I've never heard before, it was very relaxing and calming, it was probably the most beautiful thing I have heard.

"Okay good now do the second one." He said.

I blew the second one and it was definitely beautiful, but it was different, it ignited passion in me, a flaming sensation churned in my chest making me want serge into battle and fight to your very last breath, it was very passionate. I took a deep breath to keep up with this new sensation.

"Yes, certain tones can awaken intense emotions, such as what you just felt. Now do the third one and keep going." He said.

The third one was haunting and I felt sadness, it almost made me cry it was so sad. The sound was one of a ghost, soft, light, airy, but it felt like rain, it makes you feel cold and down and sad, as though as crying on a cloud.

The fourth one was happy and light, like jumping around and laughing for eternity without getting tired. It didn't sound as beautiful as the others but it was still joyful and childlike.

The fifth one was probably the most superior, like one for kings, it made you feel you could do anything and everything, very uplifting. It sounded like the air and the sun and the high mountains in the distance, the ones that are the highest and most kingly, compared to the others, it was stunningly strong and proud, yet graceful and genuine.

"Good now mix them." Amarian said sternly.

I mixed the second one with the fifth, and it came out almost too much to handle, both the passion and the feeling of invincibility, mixed together was overwhelming, and made me feel like exploding. But the sound was empowering and diligent.

Then I mixed the first with the fourth, and it came out content, like I could not ask for anything more, I felt perfect, like there was nothing more then feeling that. The sound was incredible, like waves of perfect smelling peaches.

"Okay, you may practice later, for now you must learn the rest of the basics. Now you must blow through each of them to make a word, for the example I told you earlier, but the first one you do first sets the mood so you don't get overwhelmed by all the emotions. Now you try to do it." Amarian said reading my thoughts again.

I started with the first one, and I felt calm and serene and each note I did made me more calm, but not to the point of feeling sleepy. This will probably be efficient when someone is panicking, like before battle, but then again panicking means they are ready so maybe I should do the second one, since it seems to intensify the emotion it hosts!

I did the second one first, and I was riled up and each other note I hit I got more pumped. Now, this is for battle! I had to do the first one again to calm me down, because I was so riled up.

"Okay, now that you know the basics of the emotional helping properties, time to go to the calling of the animals but be careful of what animals you call because even though they come to your call they are still wild animals. Now the syllables represent a certain type of animal. Ai represents fowls, Vi represents reptiles, Sh represents sea creatures, Ea represents land animals, and last of all Ar represents the magical creatures. You must blow into the syllable for the desired animal first then describe the animal you want with the rest of the other syllables, but if it is an animal that is not magical, do Ar lastly. For example if you want a dolphin then you do Sh Ea Vi Ai Ar, Sh first because it is a sea creature, then Ea because it does breath air and it is warm-blooded like a land animal, then Vi because it does not have feathers like a fowl and is more like a fish which is most like the Vi, Ai is next for obvious reasons, Ar is last as I said before. But you have to believe it will work with 100 percent faith or it will never work, it's all in the mind set, so get the right mind set first then you may do as you please or must." Wow that was a lot to remember but, sure, let's try it.

I wanted to call a horse so it would be Ea Ai Sh Vi Ar. Even though this is heaven…er…Hall of Mandos, there should be horses up here so I expect it to come. I blew the right combination and held the image of a horse in my mind (which was Rain), then nothing.

"As I said you need to have full faith." He said sternly.

"But I do have full faith!" Or at least I thought I did.

Amarian shook his head, "You do not have faith that the horse you are truly wishing for will come." What? How could Rain come up here? Amarian smiled.

Okay I have to have faith that Rain will come. I tried again, then out of the blue, Rain came trotting up to me with happiness in his eyes. I ran to him and hugged his neck, he nuzzled me and tried to nibble on me (which is a friendly gesture), and I gently patted him to stop.

"Wow, he really came!" I smiled brightly.

"Yep, now you have learned all the basics. You did an amazing job, better than I thought." He smirked, I playfully glared at him. Then suddenly we disappeared from the grassy plains we were at, everything was spinning around and it suddenly stopped and we landed at the pond where I first met Eru and Amarian.

"Ugh, what happened?" I didn't feel too good.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweetheart, here let me help you." Eru said while helping me up from where I fell flat on my face, but once he touched me I felt better.

"Thank you." I said gratefully. I looked up at his face which was still as perfect as before. He smiled at my thought comment.

"Glad you still think so. Now I have heard that you made your decision?" Heard? He probably knew the first millisecond I decided to go to Middle-Earth!

"Yes I have, I want to help and go to Middle-Earth." I said confidently.

"You will never know how happy I am to hear that." He smile brightly. "Are you ready to go?"

"Yes, though I don't know how to fight with a sword or bow and arrows." He smiled again.

"You will learn of those arts at a later date." I nodded.

"Just jump into the water when you are ready." I turned to Amarian.

"It might be a long time before I get to see you again." I pouted.

"Aww don't be sad, I'll get to see you all the time!" He smiled.

"Yeah, you'll get to see me, but I won't get to see you!" I tried to pout even more but it turned out to be a smile. I hugged him really tight.

"Oh, and if I get hurt, I'm blaming you."

"Oh, now that wouldn't be fun!" Amarian smiled brightly, "Plus, I'm supposed to 'stave off misfortune' not prevent harm, but I'll try anyway."

"Thanks, and thank you for teaching me the basics, if tried to do it on my own who knows what might have happened!" He laughed out loud.

"I can just picture it!" Amarian smiled, and let go of me.

"Wait, did you save me the day that I died? I mean were you the white wolf I encountered?" I almost forgot to ask!

"Yes, I can come as any animal, but I choose to be a white wolf really." He grinned.

"Well, thank you for that also!" I gave him another hug, but quickly this time.

I turned to Eru who was watching us with an amused look.

"Thanks for making me, and giving me a second chance at life." I said gratefully, he laughed.

"Well 'tis my pleasure." I hugged him and squeezed him tight for a long time just to see what he would do. He just stood there with a grin

"I knew you liked me, but not this much." I laughed, and let go of him, he did a fake gasping for air, and I rolled my eyes. I went to the pond and looked at it, then I looked back at the two gorgeous males, I took a deep breath. Well here it goes! And I dove in head first, I kept waiting for the water, but it never came.

Author's note: Wow, that aspirin is doing miracles on my head! Ha ha, just kidding. Anyways I would really be thankful if you could review! Please?
