Chapter 3 everyone enjoy
400 years later 20 years before the events of the lord of the rings
Aria sighed contently as she looked around her small cottage it had been her home for the last fifty years or so she enjoyed her life she had settled near Isengard just outside a small village called Bushdale she loved the area surrounding it. Maybe in a couple of years, she would move again but for now, she was content with what she had.
Her thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on her front door
"Who could this be" she wondered
"Coming in just a minute" she called out.
She hurriedly walked over to her door but she jumped out of her skin when she saw who was standing there beaming at her.
"g-g-GANDALF" she yelled.
"Yes that is me" the old wizard replied still smiling
Ho-How did you find me "She stuttered .
"Believe me when I tell you that you were extremely hard to find Aria," he said as he walked in the door and sat down on an armchair.
I have spent the last twenty years tracking you down" he continued "You have,? just to find me you really need to get your priorities sorted but it is reassuring to know that I am well hidden"
Gandalf chuckled before his facing turning more serious
"I trust that you have heard tell that the dragon Smaug has been defeated and the kingdom of Erebor has been of reclaimed"
"Of course I have but only bits and pieces but I have heard that Thorin Oakenshield is dead is it true?"
Unfortunately yes his cousin Dáin Ironfoot is now king under the mountain"
"And I am going to presume you where involved in this somehow am I correct"
Correct"
And may I so dare to ask why you are here"
Gandalf chuckled before his face turning serious once more.
I come to seek your allegiance"
Ari raised her eyebrow
My allegiance" she said disbelievingly.
Yes your allegiance"
May I ask why"
Aria the threat of Mordor is real and you know it do not deny that you have felt the darkness return"
But why do you need me?"
Aria your fighting skills are legendary come back fight for us"
Gandalf I stopped fighting and travelling a long time ago those days for me are over"
Aria if he succeeds he will hunt you, you are a child of Elrond after all none will be able to escape his wrath you have to help" he finished
Aria just promise me that you will help once the time comes, please"
And when will that time come Gandalf?"
Soon"
Fine I will help but do not tell anyone that I am here"
Thank you, Aria do not worry I will not tell anyone that you are here".
Thank you, Gandalf what news of my family"
Gandalf sighed
Elrond has never been the same Aria he blames himself but he knows that you will come back Arwen misses you like anything but she has taken a fancy to a young man Aragorn son of Arathorn"
As long as he's treating her alright I might not decide to kill him" Aria said smirking
Gandalf laughed
And your brothers our fine they miss you too".
Aria nodded "At least they're all safe and happy"
Gandalf smiled and got up
I will not intrude on your hospitality any longer I must be on my way"
Arai smiled and got up as well walked over and opened the door
It has been good to see you again Gandalf"
The same with you Aria remember what I said I will call for you when you are needed do not move again I do not have time to be running across middle earth like a headless chicken trying to find you so stay put"
Arai laughed I'll stay put don't worry"
Good I hope to see you soon Aria"
Same here Gandalf"
The old wizard turned and walked down the road towards the village"
Aria watched him until she could no longer see him as she turned around and walked back into her house she shut her door and sat down on a chair.
What the fuck did I just get myself into"
she said out loud
