Bilbo was just waking up and Phoenix tried to whisper to him that they had reached Rivendell. He slowly awakened and she saw the smile on his face.

They walked up the narrow pathways that led to the entrance. Once they official reached Rivendell. Gandalf met with Elrond and they told each other stories of old. The other elves helped the rest of the company to temporary sleeping corridors. All of them got rooms in the same hallway and everyone got their own room. Bilbo got a room across from Phoenix's. Everyone went into their rooms to see what they looked like but no one stayed in them for long except Phoenix.

She walked over to the dresser that had a mirror over it and took a look into the drawers. All of them were empty except for one that had a long night gown. The night gown was so long it seemed to be a dress but it was too loose and thin to be one. Phoenix closed the drawer and fell on to the small bed. She stared at the ceiling and at the beautiful craftsmanship of the room. She thought to herself; I'm really here. I'm really somewhere one hundred percent fictional. The whole thing was impossible but yet I'm here. Maybe I'm in a coma; it would make since. Maybe I'm dead. Phoenix then got up from the bed with a jolt. She ran to the window and all she saw was the same things she saw as when she walked into Rivendell: trees, narrow pathways, and elves with pointy ears, a beautiful sky, and Bilbo talking to some elves. Phoenix turned around and headed toward the door; well if I am in a coma or dead or even if it's a dream I don't want to wake up or be resurrected.

Phoenix entered the hallway and walked around. She first walked aimlessly and admired everything but then she heard Gandalf. He sounded far away but close enough to be heard; so Phoenix followed the sound of his voice. She walked slowly down the hall and found where his voiced seemed to be emanating from and found the door to be slightly open. She cautiously walked up to it and peeked though. Phoenix could see Elrond and Gandalf sitting in chairs facing away from the door and talking to each other. She listened to their conversation and found Gandalf saying things that included "I don't trust her.", "When Galadriel said she could get Bilbo to join I never thought of what she would do after that.", and "What could her intentions possibly be?".

Elrond asked his own question to Gandalf "Well, she is just a Hobbit and Hobbits aren't known to have ill behavior and schemes. The Shire is secluded so I doubt that she would be temped or controlled by a force like Sauron."

Gandalf looked down at his lap where his hands were held together and looked at Elrond and said "Phoenix is not a Hobbit."

Elrond was taken back and said "How is this possible?"

Gandalf told Elrond straight out that "Phoenix is from the race of Men but is somehow not from Arda at all."

Elrond stood up and walked up to the large window at the other end of the room and out of Phoenix's line of sight. Elrond took a deep breath and said "Gandalf, do you now how dangerous this action was. By letting this girl into Arda you could have put us and the rest of Middle-Earth into great danger. She could be no threat and possibly an ally but with all this talk of an evil rising back up in Mordor we don't need another threat to worry about."

"Phoenix has not posed an immediate threat but yet I still don't know whether she is friend or foe? What should we do?" asked Gandalf

Elrond turned back around and noticed the door to be slightly open. Phoenix heard his footsteps and lightly ran to the end of the hall and around the corner. Elrond opened the door and looked out to see if anyone was eavesdropping and saw no one. He closed the door and resumed his conversation with Gandalf. Phoenix walked back to the door and saw it was closed. She decided to join the dwarves or Bilbo to not look suspicious if Elrond or Gandalf went to go look for her.

Back in the room where Gandalf and Elrond conversed, Elrond provided his solution to their predicament. Elrond said "Before you leave with Thorin and Company I would like to question Phoenix and find the truth and if she refuses to talk or her intentions are truly malevolent I can lock her in one of the rooms until you leave. While she would be here we could help her possibly right her wrong ways."

Gandalf unsure answered back "I consent to your plan but when do you plan to question Phoenix."

"Soon. I will give her time to reveal her intentions on her own but if not I will question her a week from now." said Elrond

Phoenix joined up with Bilbo and they explored all that Rivendell had to offer. During the next week Phoenix had great feasts and learned amazing things about Middle-Earth. She loved every second of it. During this time though she didn't tell anymore about her motivations to anyone, and Elrond with two guards came in search for Phoenix. At the time she was with the dwarves and Bilbo talking and joking around about old stories they had heard. Elrond found them and looked at Phoenix. Phoenix looked scared and surprised to see Elrond with guards. "I wish to speak with you Phoenix."said Elrond in a calm manner. Phoenix got up from sitting and walked toward him. The guards came up on both sides of Phoenix and grabbed her upper arms. Elrond turned around and said "Now follow me."

The dwarves started to get angry and confused. Thorin got up and said out loud "What are you planning to do with one of the members of my company?" Elrond turned around and replied "This has nothing to do with you Thorin Oakenshield. So please return to your activities." Thorin was furious but starting a fight with the person who is providing shelter for his company was the last thing he wanted to do so he walked backed and returned to his conversation with the other dwarves. Elrond continued to walk while the guards walked along side Phoenix. The whole time Bilbo was concerned for Phoenix. He thought to himself What could she have possibly done to make Elrond have guards carry her away. Bilbo was not going to let his thoughts go away and he pursued the guards and Elrond. Elrond had reached the end of the hall to the door of where he would question Phoenix. Before he opened the door he looked down the hall and shouted "Mr. Baggins please stop following us. If you continue this and eavesdrop onto this conversation I will have you thrown out of Rivendell."

Bilbo walked out from behind the corner and said 'I just wanted to make sure Phoenix was going to be OK."

Phoenix looked back at Bilbo and smiled "I'll be fine. I'll be back even if you leave without me. Trust me."

Bilbo still unsure looked at his feet and then looked back at Phoenix and nodded his head and left.

Phoenix entered the room and it was the same as any other room, warm and inviting. She was sat in a chair across from Elrond's and waited for the questioning to begin.

Elrond looked down and then back at Phoenix and with a stern face asked "Why are you here in Rivendell?"

Phoenix smiled and said "I'm here with Thorin's company to help them reclaim Erebor."

Elrond wasn't a fool and said "I find it a bit odd for a not one but two hobbits to go on a expedition like this; what is the real reason your here?"

Phoenix took a deep breath and said "The company needs me and not... only them but I fear all of middle earth needs me. I know what will happen and how things will unfold: to the company, to the enemy, and to you."

Elrond almost shocked shook his head "No hobbit in any story, any tale, any history has had that kind of power. I don't take lies lightly and I need the truth and if you won't tell me I'll have to keep you here indefinitely."

"I can only say the truth so many times before it doesn't matter anymore. I know many things and to be honest I'm not even truly a hobbit but I wish I was so I wouldn't have to lie. Lock me away if you wish that's all your getting out of me." Phoenix crossed her arms and stared at Elrond, who was trying to puzzle together who or even what Phoenix was. He stood up and looked at her. "I told you lies aren't taken lightly and to protect Middle-Earth you will be under lock and key with guards watching you. When you want to tell me the truth I'll be awaiting."

Phoenix snickered and thought That's going to be awhile. The two guards took her by the arms again and placed her in a room up on the highest floor. It was a smaller room; still beautiful but only had a bed and a window. The scene from the window was breath taking, it overlooked the meeting of two mountains and at the time there was a sunset of oranges and purples. This scene stuck out to Phoenix though, the view was directly overlooking where the company leaves Rivendell and Phoenix thought They could not have made it easier. The guards were outside her door day and night, they would check on her every 15 minutes, and give her three meals today. The imprisonment was the best in Middle-Earth. After the first day of being stuck in the room Bilbo found the room Phoenix was in and visited her every day at least once a day. One of the nights Bilbo had laid down outside Phoenix's window and stared at the stars with her. A week after the imprisonment Phoenix watched as Thorin and company started off on their journey again. After Elrond sent the company on their way he visited Phoenix and asked her once again if she would tell the truth. Phoenix looked at him and said "I do not want to be your enemy now or ever but I have a foresight ability, I'm not even a Hobbit, and you can't keep me here forever."

Elrond simply replied "I can and for your own help if wind blows you around you must either change where you stand or stand firm before the storm comes" He then left and the guards resumed their positions outside her door. Phoenix waited for the sun to set that day and for the company to be out of sight. She took a small blanket at the end of her bed and rapped it in a sash around her. She then made her move after the guard checked on her. Phoenix climbed out the window and climbed down the vines that had grown up to her room. She listened for noises but she only heard music far off and she made her way out of Rivendell. She passed by a table with food on it and Phoenix grabbed bread and apples and placed them in her sash. She then made her way to the path where the company left and ran into the night. Phoenix thought to herself That was too easy. Did Elrond want me to escape? I need to find the company by tomorrow.

Elrond opened the door to Phoenix's room and saw that she wasn't to be found. "I knew it." He turned to his guards and commanded the two that were guarding her to go out on horses and find her. The two guards mounted their horses and rode off into the night.

Phoenix was cold and decided she had ran long enough and built a small shelter of branches and leaves, that she had learned from summer camp, but didn't start a fire out of fear of what may be lurking. She slept well while the guards searched through the night, and the company had settled for the night not too far away.
