Disclaimer Ok, now to get this over with. Anything that you recognize does not belong to me. In fact, if every time that you went outside you planted an oak tree, and those oak tress grew large enough to cover the world and block out the sun, I still wouldn't own, Legolas or Lucius Malfoy. (Lucius Malfoy has nothing to do with this story, I just think that he's sexy, but you get my point.)

Around the year 1000 of the Third Age

Jess felt horrible, it was so bad that she hadn't even open her eyes yet and she still wanted to die, everything hurt, even her toenails. She didn't know what had happened, but she wasn't ready to face it yet, for now she would lay here with her eyes closed and absorb her surroundings. After a moment she was very glad that she had, there were other people around her talking quietly in voices that she didn't recognize, although struck a cord of a distant memory.

"Mithrandir, what were you thinking, bringing her here now, it is nowhere near her time, and we have not even arrived ourselves. For one thing the people may not accept her."

"Do not worry CurunÍr, all is as it should be, yes I summoned her early, but it will do only good in the long run. All we know for sure it that she is a very important part of this worlds future. We are not sure how but we do know that it will be during an extremely dangerous time and if we had waited she would not have been prepared. You have also looked upon her world through the looking glass and know that it is nothing like the one we are traveling to. At least this way she will have time to prepare herself, more then enough time in fact."

"Of course, I see what you mean, but you forget that she is only mortal, what is there to be sure that she will not die in this world before she is needed?"

Jess lay perfectly still as she listened to the conversation going on around her.

"Mithrandir, hmm, why does that name sound so familiar. Are they talking about me? Where the hell am I!"

"Ah but she will not have to worry about that. Yes she is a mortal, but not one from this world, she will continue to age as she would on her own, you have to remember the difference between the speed of time between our worlds. She wouldn't have been much older then this if we had summoned her later anyway. Now I think that we have confused our guest enough as it is, come on my dear, we know that you are awake."

"I guess that there is no hope for it, might as well see what's going on." Jess opened her eyes and looked around quickly. She discovered that she was on a cot in a medium sized room. There were little furnishings other then the cot, only a small table with two chairs, on which sat writing utensils, and around which sat two the source of the voices. They were men, who seemed to be of an advanced age with out actually being old. The one who sat on the closest chair to her was dressed in a grey robe and possessed with twinkling eyes and a kind smile. He reminded her a bit of the grandfather she couldn't quite remember and it made her feel better to just look at her, he also reminded her of someone that her mind refused to remember. The other wore a white robe and had a more sever look about and despite the others words looked surprised to see that she was in fact awake.

"I bet he didn't know that I was listening even if the other did, I wonder who they are?"

"Good, good. we were beginning to think that you might never awake, I am sure that you have many questions for us, but first I suggest that you have something to eat and drink before we begin."

As soon as he said it Jess realized that she was in fact starving.

"What the hell, I doubt they'd poison me know, who knows how long I've been out." Jess nodded and sent the old man a smile of thanks, before grabbing the plate that he had picked up from the small stool behind him that she had not seen. For the next few minutes Jess thought about nothing but the savory meat stew and sweet water the she ate. Soon enough though she was full and looked up to see that the old man in grey looked amused at her hunger and that the other one seemed to have left. Embarrassed at both her manners and lack of attention she pushed her food away.

"Excuse me, I was very hungry." No he definitely looked amused.

"Nothing to forgive my dear. I imagine that you would be quite hungry after your journey. Now ask me all of your questions, I will do my best to answer them." With that he settled down in his chair as if he was expecting to be there for a while.

"Ok. well I guess I'll start with where are we? I'm pretty sure that we're on a boat, I can feel the room rocking in that way that only boats can achieve. Also how did I get here, why was I sore before, but not now, and who are you and that other guy, and what do you want with me?" Jess took a deep breath and looked expectantly at the man.

"Well, my dear, we are currently on route to Arda to help the creatures of light that live there with the darkness that threatens them. Yes we are on a boat. You are here because I summoned you here from you"re world because the Valar have foretold that you have a great part to play in future. You were sore as a result of that summoning and your appearance here, you are not now because of a herbal remedy that I put in your water. Also, forgive me for being so rude, but my name is Mithrandir, but you may call me Gandalf if you wish, the other that you met is CurunÍr." After he finished he looked at her shocked face and laughed.

"Yes, I thought that you would recognize that name, and yes I am telling the truth, Welcome to Middle Earth."

It is needles to say that she was disbelieving at first, but as she talked late into the night with Gandalf, and he explained everything, she gradually realized that this was really happening, she was on her way to Middle Earth. Of course with the acceptance of her situation there came many question. Over the course of there talks, which usually took place on the deck (which were to her disappointment she couldn't see anything as it was all shrouded in mist), she learned many things, such as the War if the Ring had not taken place yet, in fact it was a few thousand years in the future by her reckoning, that she would spend her first hundred or do years on Middle Earth in Lothlorien, learning the roaps or something like that. The coolest thing was that she wouldn't age, ok she would would but actually at a massively slow rate, It had something to do with the fact that her world rotated at a much slower rate then the one she was on now. CurunÍr, who she soon realized was in fact Saruman, she tried to avoid as much as possible. She was both surprised and pleased to discover that her pack had made the travel with her, meaning that she had her handy book with her should she ever need to look something up. After about a month since she woke up Gandalf came to talk to her.

"Ah Jess, we are close to the end of our ocean voyage, in fact we should arrive around noon tomorrow, we will meet the welcoming party from Lothlorien, there in fact,to escort us safely to their fair city. So make sure to get a good nights sleep and make sure that you are all packed up." That said, he left her to her thoughts.

"Well I guess that thus is it, tomorrow I enter a whole new world and life. Fuck!"
