Galadriel was riding with her guards when she suddenly felt that someone was watching so she turned her head to her side to see who was watching, but when she looked she didn't see anyone. She knew for sure that someone was watching her so she also knew that whoever was watching was hiding. That was when she made the decision to tell Haldir to send some scouts towards back to see who was watching while everyone else would wait until they came back with watcher.

When they got the order to go back and see who was watching them while riding towards Imladris Ferveldir and Fervellon where surprised as they believed they were watched by animals, but they trusted their lady to know when something had to be looked at. So they turned back to see who was watching them while they rode past.

They made sure to ride back in such a way that whoever was watching them would not see them coming and when they come back to the point where they had halted for a moment they could see someone sitting on their knees in the ground. They looked at each other and knew what they would do. Silently one pulled an arrow and laid it in his bow while the other stayed back to see if there were more. He then sneaked up on the watcher. When he got close he put his arrow on his back and said

"Don't move and turn around"

When the person before him didn't answer he repeated his words and got as an answer from the person

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying"

From the voice he could tell that he was threatening a young woman and he suddenly felt guilty for treating her this way. He put his weapons away and complemented how to approach and tell her to follow him.

When he was sure how to do this, he walked in front of her and took her hands in his while pulling her upright. He saw that she dusted her clothing and he had to admit that he found it strange that she was wearing leggings and a short tunic. When she was done he mentioned for her to follow him, which she did after some consideration.

They walked back for a few minutes when he saw his partner again. He got from his partner the question

"Are you sure that we can let her walk around freely?"

"Yes, she didn't act dangerous and I don't believe it wise for her to walk around here alone. Her parents or siblings should be here somewhere and I think we should watch over her for the time being" He said and got a nod as answer. They walked back towards their traveling party and saw that their Marchwarden was expecting them together with their Lady. He was not looking happy at them but after one look from their Lady he was silent.

When she finished communicating with her mother she noticed footsteps and soon after saw someone standing before her. The person pulled her up and walked away while mentioning with his hand.

[Nanoha-mama, the person who threatened me is now mentioning me to follow him, I believe. What should I do? ] Vivio asked.

[Go with him and keep your eyes and ears open. When you can let us know what is happening. Know that as long as you have sacred heart with you, we can track you. Be careful] Nanoha answered with a serious voice.

[Yes, captain] Vivio answered with equal seriousness and followed the person. A short while later they came upon another person who talked to the person she was following. They talked for a short while after which they walked further.

When they had traveled they came upon a larger group of which two people were in waiting on them. The man with the sour face who she could see wanted to say something but after a look from the woman who stood next to him he kept his mouth.

When she stood before them the man said

"Who are you and why were you saying on us?"

Vivio looked at him with a raised eyebrow to tell him she didn't understand what he had said. It was then that she noticed a touch on her mind and then she heard in her mind

[Welcome child, might I know your name]

[Who are you?] Vivio asked while looking around and saw the woman smiling at her while she heard

[My name is Galadriel and I know you want to know how I knew your language. I know it because the language minds speak are the same and this is a way everyone can understand each other] Galadriel told her

[I see, my name is Vivio] Vivio answered not sure how much she could tell Galadriel.

[Can you tell me, Vivio why you are alone in the wild?] Galadriel asked.

[Nanoha-mama and some colleagues are looking for someone who disappeared and everything points to in this direction so they were asked if they could search this area. I'm allowed to come along as I want to work for the same organization as my mother, so that I can observe how they do their work. Ah and Chris says that they will soon be here] Vivio said as she noticed Chris giving a signal that other devices were closing in on their location which the elves noticed as well. Haldir was mentioning for the party to be ready to defend themselves as he was suspicious about who was coming towards them.

[Who is Chris, Tithen Pen?] Galadriel asked.

[Chris is the plush toy. They real form is a small jewel but the plush toy is the cover. He helps me when I'm in trouble as he is a hybrid device and has an AI] Vivio explained as best ad she could.

[You mean to tell me that Chris is a weapon? Can you also tell me what you mean with AI?] Galadriel asked Vivio as she didn't understand some of what she said.

[Yes, he is a weapon and an AI stands for artificial intelligence, which means he can think on his own and make decisions. He is not dangerous] Vivio said as she saw Galadriel eying Chris with suspicion. After some time Galadriel nodded towards her to show she believed her explanation. It was then that she heard Galadriel speak to the man who had a sour face earlier and she couldn't understand what they were saying towards each other as it was a spoken conservation and not a telepathic conservation. At the end of the talk everyone went back to packing or talking to each other.

Around the same time that Subaru, Ginga and Lutecia arrived at their location Nanoha got another telepathic message from Vivio

[Nanoha-mama, the person who threatened me is now mentioning me to follow him, I believe. What should I do?]

[Go with him and keep your eyes and ears open. When you can let us know what you is happening. Know that as long as you have sacred heart with you, we can track you. Be careful] Nanoha told her and got as an answer.

[Yes, captain]

Nanoha then told everyone else what Vivio had told her and she had told Vivio. Everyone agreed that they would follow Vivio and see where the person would lead her to.

When Caro had managed to lock on to the signal of Chris, everyone could see where Vivio was towards. When Vivio stayed in one place for a few minutes it was decided that they would ho to this place. But before they managed to cover a small ground Caro said

"Nanoha-san, Fate-san Vivio is moving again"

"Keep tracing her, Caro. Lutecia have one of your summons follow her discretely" Fate ordered after which Asclepius said

{Insektzug}

A swarm of insects could be seen flying around and when Lutecia told them what to do they all flew away towards their destination to them a better look at what was going on. Through them they could see that Vivio was being led to a larger party. When looking at what was happening there, they called Chrono

[Chrono, Vivio went with someone who led her to a larger party. We don't think they are hostile and would like to make contact with them] Fate told Chrono, after which he said

[Alright, but be careful and know that we will be watching you]

To this the scouts agreed and it was then that they made their way towards where the party was staying. When they got close Lutecia got a warning from the insects which also didn't last long.

"Lutecia, Caro, what did just happen?" Nanoha asked with Fate looking listening closely to the conservation.

"It would appear as if the party thought they were attacked and they were building a defense. I don't know why but they dismantled their defense. Personally I think that someone told them to do so" Lutecia answered to which Caro agreed as she had noticed the same thing.

Not long after they could see what appeared to be a camp in the woods and Vivio talking to a woman who was glowing from her skin. When they all saw this they looked at each other and silently agreed that whoever they were meeting it weren't humans.

[Welcome, my name is Galadriel and your name is Nanoha, I believe. Your daughter got lost, didn't she? Might I also know how you found us without us noticing that someone was in the area] Galadriel asked as they arrived. She saw that the group that came towards them was strangely clothed as the woman wore short skirts, to short for the liking of her and her escort. She couldn't believe that men let their women wear such skirts.

[Can't we speak with words as that enables everyone to hear what is being said, Galadriel-san] Nanoha asked. Galadriel didn't say anything about the way she was addressed as she had noticed that was the way Nanoha was used to addressing people

[Unfortunately, we can't as it appears that we don't speak the same language] Nanoha got as an answer and had to reluctantly agree to speak telepathically and told raising heart to transmit the conservation to Fate and the rest.

[Alright, well to answer your first question. Vivio noticed someone traveling in the area and wanted to see who it was. She was told to stay hidden, because we didn't know if the individual who killed a family in a farm not far from here was coming back] Nanoha told her and saw how Galadriel's face darkened.

[Who were killed there?] She asked.

[We don't know, but there were bones left and of those there were bones present who we believe were from children] Nanoha explained

[Can you give us directions as to where it was, then I will have some of my guards go there and see that they are given their peace] Galadriel asked

[Yes, we can give you directions] Nanoha said and asked Fate who had Bardiche show a map already. She could see that Galadriel and her guards were interested in the floating and transparent screen that showed up before Fate.

[Fate-chan has the directions on the map that she has before her] Nanoha said and heard Galadriel tell one of the guards

"Marchwarden, have a few guards go to the place that is being show on the map the lady shows there as a family was killed there" Haldir nodded and called a few guards to him and told them to go there and give the family peace and also see who had killed them. He could imagine it being orcs roaming across the land, but didn't say anything about it. He felt a mental touch of his lady and knew then that she knew what he suspected.

[Can you tell me how you found us without us noticing that someone was in the area?] Galadriel asked again to which Nanoha answered.

[We were tracking Chris and also Lutecia had a few of her summons out to follow Vivio] Nanoha answered.

[What do you mean by one of her summons? What is their purpose?] Galadriel asked after she decided that knowing more about the summons was the most important.

[This is one of her summons, they are used among others for reconnaissance and patrolling] Nanoha said as she lifted her hand and one of the insects sat on it. Everyone could see a flat oval shape creature with pink dots on the sides. The creature had a small pin going down and four small legs with which it attached itself to Nanoha's hand. The reactions to the summons varied from disbelief to shocked to completely indifferent. After some time in which the atmosphere could be cut with a knife she got a nod which told her that Galadriel at least believed her explanation.

[Can you tell me why the woman in your group wear such short skirts?] Nanoha heard Galadriel ask her to which she responded

[We wear this as these are the uniform for the women who work for the organization we work for. We are something similar to an army, but I can't tell you anything more about the organization]

Galadriel had to think about what she said as she wanted to ask more but decided to wait for some time and see if she could get information about the organization later on. She then decided that she ask [Your daughter said that you are looking for a missing friend, do you have an idea as to where she could be?]

[No, we don't, except that it should be here somewhere in this area. We know that there is a settlement close by and plan to start our search there. Are you by chance traveling to this place?] Nanoha asked

[Yes, we are on our way to the settlement you are referring to. You know that that settlement is the only one close in this side of the Misty Mountains] Galadriel said and added shortly afterwards [Do you have the intent to accompany us to the settlement?]

Nanoha asked "She is on her way to the settlement and is asking if we want to accompany them to there. I think it a good idea to travel with them. What do say, Fate-chan, Teana?"

"I believe you are right. When we accompany them we can learn more about this planet and won't have to search for the way to the settlement" Teana said to which Fate nodded.

In the meantime Galadriel talked to Haldir about letting the group accompany them. He was not happy about is as he didn't know if he could trust them. He would allow them to accompany them under guard which Galadriel didn't agree to as she didn't feel any danger or treats from the group. After this argument Haldir reluctantly agreed to let them travel along but would keep an eye on them the entire way. When he wanted to inform his lady about his decision he noticed that she seemed to be talking to the woman again so waited until they were done talking.

[We would like to accompany you to the settlement] Nanoha told Galadriel and saw that she smiled to her. She also noticed that the guards who had went to the farm had returned and were talking to the man who Galadriel had talked to earlier and saw that he seemed to get sad about the news they gave him. Shortly after they were on their way to Imladris as Haldir wanted to get into safe areas as quickly as possible.
