I turned towards Mordor. I walked to the part of the ship closest to the shadowed land. Earendil. "What is it Ariane?" I looked back to the other three. I smiled.

"Earendil, a star loved by all the Elves of Lothlorien. It was a gift from the Lady of Light for Frodo back in Lothlorien. I can feel its light. Frodo is alive, and he is almost to Mount Doom. However," I said and then frowned. "He is caught in Shelob's web."

"Ariane, we're almost there. Are we going to win?" I looked at Aragorn. I went searching through time and space. "I do not know. I have been checking that for a while. Nothing has been set in stone… yet, at least." I began to sing:

"Home is behind, the world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow, to the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow, cloud and shade

All shall fade, all shall fade"

"Have you lads seen my ax?" I turned to Gimli. "I set it down a minute ago, and now I can't find it."

"Gee Gimli, I have no idea," I said dramatically. "It appears that you will have to search high and low for it." The Dwarf was confused by my words. I looked above me where his ax was tied to the mast holding the largest sail.

"Now that is just foul play, lassie," he said. I giggled.

"Have you learned something?"

"Get my ax down!"

"Don't ever get me upset, or you will face the consequences" I shot an arrow at the rope holding the ax in place. The arrowhead was sharp enough that it severed the rope, and since I had fired it almost completely straight up, the arrow fell back down to the boat. I watched the rope unwind; the ax clattered to the deck of the ship. "If you want the pranks to end here, I suggest you heed my words."
