Chapter 3

I have been apart of Middle Earth for 1,441 years, traveling from place to place learning from the different races of Middle Earth. I have lived among Hobbits, dwarves, elves, shapeshifters, and man and throughout my travels I have heard talk of the Istari, the five wizards the Valar had sent before Melkor had begun his attack in the beginning of the first age and they had helped in the war against Melkor's servant Sauron and his servants.

And in all of the time that I have been apart of Middle Earth, I hadn't had the pleasure to meet any of the five Istari.

Until one day as I resided in Rivendell I met not one, not two, but three of the Istari over a week's time.

I looked out of my balcony that over looked the front courtyard at the sound of horses. I saw three cloaked figures - one white, one gray, and one brown - on the back of the horses that I had heard.

I watched as the three cloaked figures wielding wooden staff and meeting Lindir and Lord Elrond at the bottom of the stairs.

I didn't miss the looks shot up towards my balcony after they spoke for a time.

Great, they were talking about me, it seems that these Istari had finally recieved word about who and what I was. I returned back into my room and started to get dressed in a red long dress off shoulders with mid-sleeves. A red bracelet bracelet and a golden collar necklace, as well as red high heels with circle dangling earrings. I pinned my hair back so that it was out of my face but still down.

A knock sounded on my door.

"Come in." I called.

An elf maid stuck her head in. "My lady, Lord Elrond has called for you."

I nodded my head in thanks. "I shall be along in a moment."

The elleth bowed her head and departed. I took a deep breath and added the mithril forged daggers to hidden sheaths on my thighs and on my wrist that did not have a bracelet adorning it, I had my wand holder hidden magically from view with the elder wand tucked nicely inside. I was ready. I'm off to see the wizards, the wonderfully wizards of Middle Earth.

I left my rooms and entered Lord Elrond's gazebo where meetings such as this took place in Rivendell.

I entered, seeing the three Istari had sat themselves at the table and chairs in the middle while Lord Elrond had stood waiting for my arrival.

"Ah, my lady, I thank you kindly for responding to my summons this afternoon." Lord Elrond said warmly, moving to me and then guiding me to the last chair around the table which put me in between the gray and brown wizards and across from the white.

The gray one spoke first. "Yes, we thank you, my lady, for coming to speak with us. I am Gandalf the Gray and these are my fellow wizards Radagast the Brown and Saruman the White. You are Lady Eldona, correct?"

I bowed my head. "I am. What brings three of the Istari to Rivendell in search of myself?"

Saruman spoke. "As if you didn't know. The Ents had spoken of you since your arrival almost fifteen hundred yeards ago to Middle Earth before they went into deep slumber."

Radagast picked up where Saruman broke off. "And the Great Eagles have screeched about you as well. Are you truly the Magi Elf?"

I straightened in my seat. "And if I am? What do you plan to do?"

The Istari and elf lord exchanged glances. Gandalf was the one that spoke up. "I would like you to come with me on my travels so that we may learn from each other."

"And if I didn't want that? If I wished to continue on my own way?"

My eyes stayed locked on Gandalf. "That is certainly your choice, my lady, and as someone chosen by the Valar, we have no power over you. We just figured it would be a great opportunity."

I thought about it for a moment. Gandalf seemed trustworthy to me. And I couldn't deny that the chance to learn from a wizard of Middle Earth didn't tempt her greatly.

I nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you."

Gandalf bowed his head. "So be it. We'll leave on the morrow."

I stood. "If that is all you need of me, I shall be going. I have to pack it seems."

"That is all." Lord Elrond said. I nodded my head to the Istari and elf Lord and left, knowing that I was going to have a long day ahead of me.

I guess it was time for me to head out, it has been 200 years since I had returned to Rivendell and my feet were itching to be on the road again anyways.

I returned to my room and summoned my traveling bag that had an undetecable extension charm and a feather light charm that Hermione had taught me during my life as Harry Potter.

With a wave of my wand almost everything that I owned but what I was going to be wearing on the journey and the outfit I was wearing at the moment flew into the pack. After that was done, I summoned the maid from earlier and asked her to get some Lembas bread for me and water pouches filled and brought to me which she agreed to do and did before I left for dinner that evening.

"Auntie!" Elrohir exclaimed, throwing an arm around my neck as soon as I entered the dining hall and walking with me to our table. "Ada told us that you are going to be leaving us with Mithrandir tomorrow. Tell me it isn't so?!"

I smiled at my psuedo-nephew as he pulled my chair back and settled down on one side while Elladan sat on my other side.

"I'm afraid it is, Ro. Its been awhile since I've traveled and it is time for me to do so again."

"But who shall tronce us across the practce field while you are gone?!" Elladan cut in.

I smirked at the golden haired elf sat on Elladan's other side. "I was hoping that my dear friend Lord Glorfindel would take over for me until I returned." The elf lord met my eyes and returned my smirk as the twins' face were overcome with slight horror, the two knowing that Glorfindel was a harder teacher then I.

The meal continued as chaotic as it usually was, as some pranks the twins pulled on unsuspecting elves came to light. I swear, these two were the Stolls brothers or Weasley twins or both reborn.

Before I knew it, the night was over and it was time to sleep. Although my feet were itching to be going, I would miss Rivendell and its peace, with the occasional bit of chaos mixed in.

I woke the next morning as soon as the sun peeked over the horizon.

I dressed in the outfit I had picked out and armed myself, placing my cloak around my shoulders after making sure the dwarven beads were still in place in my mane of hair.

I threw my pack over my shoulders and I was ready to head out.

I met Gandalf by the stables, his horse and a horse Elrond was lending to me, were saddled and ready to go. I mounted and looked over at the Gray Istari.

"All ready, Mister Gandalf?"

"I am, my lady. Shall we?"

I nodded and we were off on a new adventure.
