A/N: I do not own The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 1

Gandalf stared down at the small hobbit as he waited for him to awaken. The old wizard could not help but to feel responsible for the halflings wounds. He knew he would awaken, but the wound would never completely heal. As he stood there his mind wondered back to the red head he had meet with days before. If she had decided to help them with their quest she would be arriving at some point this morning. He strongly wanted to believe she would come, but the more he thought back to their meeting he wasn't certain. Gandalf turned away from the hobbit and made his way to the window to look out over the beautiful land of Rivendell. He stood there as a group from Mirkwood forest arrived on horseback, and his eyes fell upon a familiar blond head. No sooner had his eyes landed on the elf that the sky darkened and a clap of thunder spread across the sky. Gandalf whirled around as the hobbit in the bed behind him sat straight up a look of fear crossing his face. "Something is here" the small halfling said with a quiver in his already weak voice. "Aye Frodo, it is and its exactly what I have been waiting for." The wizard said as a smile spread across his face and a twinkle formed in his blue eyes.

A/N: Welcome to the first chapter of Yoaraerea I just wanted to drop a note to apologize for how short the chapters are so far. I just need to get some housekeeping and introductions out of the way and I promise that will come to and end.
