Returning to Middle Earth
The Beginning Journey
I do not own Sailor Moon or Lord of the Rings.
It had been two days now that has passed by since the day the Fellowship was formed. Serenity was in her room getting ready for her long quest with Amarie and the others that started today to protect Frodo. Serenity look down to see she had to put her bow and sword left that was lying on her bed. She stood there gazing at the two for a minute wondering if she should take her sword with her. Sighing heavily she picked up her sword her brother gave her and placed it in her subspace pocket for now followed by placing her bow on her back with her quills. Just as she placed her bow on her back a soft knock came to the door.
"Who is it?" Serenity asked hearing the knock. A soft familiar voice that Serenity knew only to well answered her question back.
"It is only I, Serenity, Amarie." Was the reply from the other side of the wooden door. Serenity smile to herself happy to know Amarie would be with her on the quest.
"Come in Amarie." Serenity said back quickly before turning to a mirror to check her hair. The door open soundlessly as Amarie came walking in and closed it once more.
"Are you ready Serenity?" Amarie asked her friend who's back was turn to her at the moment. Serenity quickly making sure her hair would not fall out of the braid turn around once more to face her elf friend before her. Her gaze falling upon her friend noticing what Amarie was wearing.
Before answering Amarie, Serenity gaze over what the elf maiden was wearing. Amarie was wearing a dark purple tunic with white shirt and boots with her cloak over it. Her hair was pulled up into a tight bun atop her head to keep her hair away from her violet eyes. Serenity also noticed Amarie had a short sword on her left side and her bow and quills on her back. Once she was done looking over her friend's choice of cloths she smile at her friend.
"I see you are ready. I am ready as well so we should be going. But there is one thing I like to speak to you about before we leave." Serenity said to her friend her smile leaving her face with a serious look.
"What is it Serenity?" Amarie asked her quietly, curiosity filling her eyes. Serenity took a step closer to her friend before speaking. When she did speak it was in a quiet voice for just above a whisper.
"We both know we can use our powers we gained on Earth. I rather us not use them at all if necessary but if it comes to a point and we must need them then only then do we give away our little secret." Serenity finished in a very quiet voice her eyes locking with the elf in front of her. Amarie's eyes filled with understanding as to what Serenity was saying and nodded her head stating she understood.
"I agree with you Serenity. It will be easier that way to stay away from questions but if we must use our powers then we will have too hopefully it will not go come to that although I have a feeling we will have to use our powers at some point." Amarie replied back to her friend in a serious voice her eyes never leaving connect of Serenity's blue ones.
"Yes I have the same feeling as well. But I'm afraid only time will tell." Serenity stated back sighing heavily breaking eye connect to look past the door in thinking. Amarie giggle lightly at Serenity's words bringing her friend back to reality quickly. Serenity turns her attention back to her friend a delicate eyebrow raised in wonder.
"If I may ask what is so amusing to you Amarie?" Serenity asks her friend. Amarie smile shaking her head.
"I just think you have been around Trista too much. You are starting to sound like her." She said to her. Serenity smile at her friend's comment about Trista.
"Thanks Amarie." Serenity said shaking her head while sighing. Then all of a sudden a knock came to the door interrupting Serenity and Amarie's talk. Amarie look to her friend a raised eyebrow in a silent question as to whom was at the door. Serenity just shrugged her shoulders at her friend wondering as well who was at the door for she was not expecting anyone to come to her room. For her brother Aragorn had all ready tried to make her stay at Rivendale and not go on the quest a night ago but failed to change Serenity's decision.
"Who is at the door?" Serenity spoke loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear her question. A voice spoke that Amarie knew all to well answer back.
"It is I ,Arwen, sister of Amarie. May I enter?" The voice replied back from the other side of the door. Serenity quickly made her way over to the wooden door and opens it revealing Arwen in a plain but elegant red dress with a small tiara on her head. Serenity smile upon facing the oldest of daughter of Lord Elrond.
"Lady Arwen please come in." Serenity said opening to the door wide enough to let her in. Arwen smile at Serenity her head bowing a little at Serenity. Arwen came in the room all the way to find her sister standing before.
"Please call me Arwen. After all you are Aragorn's sister." Arwen said to Serenity as she closed the door. Serenity smile at Amarie's older sister turning around after shutting the door.
"As you wish but only if you call me Serenity. You are family just like Amarie is to me." Serenity stated to her looking at her Amarie then turning back to Arwen. When Serenity had look at Amarie she could see sadness in her eyes that was being held behind a fake happy look. But Amarie's voice brought Serenity away from her thoughts once again.
"Arwen, may I ask what you are doing here? We were about to meet the others." Amarie asked her sister. Amarie looking at her sister and seeing a determined look in her eyes that was so familiar to her that they had inherited from their father placed upon her sister's face.
"I have come to not just on behalf of father's request but my own to ask you two to stay behind and let the others protect Frodo. Stay here in Rivendell where you will both be safe. It would be safer for you to leave this burden to the others." Arwen pleaded to them both with fear and worriedness in her eyes. Serenity smile that had been on her face left quickly with a sadness in her eyes at knowing that going on this journey will make Lord Elrond and Arewn worry about Amarie. She stood there looking at Amarie in the eyes for a second before turning to Arwen.
"I can not speak for Amarie but I shall speak for myself. For me to not help anyway I can is just not possible. I have abilities that can aid at such a dark time as now and I will not sit and let other people fight to protect me like my brother when I can fight as well. I will do what I can to save Middle Earth and if it means my life so be it." Serenity said to Arwen in a regal voice, determination sparkling in her blue eyes as she spoke.
Amarie stood there listening to Serenity's words as she spoke to Arwen on her decision and knew her sister and father would be very worried about her as well as her older brothers. But she like Serenity felt the same way. They could help out against the dark lord, Sauron, and they won't stand around.
'We have fought to many times against dark forces for us to just stop now. Besides Serenity doesn't like people protecting her either.' Amarie thought to herself. Serenity stopped talking and the two were now facing Amarie. Amarie look at her sister once more to see the emotions run pass her sister once more just like they did in the past when she told them she was leaving to help another world. Amarie took a deep breath before she spoke to her sister.
"Arwen, sister. I have made my decision and will go to help the others with protecting Frodo. As Serenity has all ready said we have abilities that we learned in the other world that can aid Middle Earth to defeating Sauron." Amarie said a serious and determined voice spoke without fear anywhere.
"I have seen what dark forces can do and I have not stood by to let them defeat us in the other world and so now that I am home once more I will stop fighting against another dark force that threatens my home, family and friends. I will fight to protect it with everything I have. I'm sorry if I upset and disappoint you or father. I have to do this." She finished saying still looking at her sister stern voice.
Arwen stood there a look of disappointment in her eyes. Arwen sighed heavily before making her way over to herself. She look into her sister's eyes and held onto her shoulder a smile on her face before speaking to her sister.
"You have never disappointed father or I. You, sister, have made us all proud and only wish to keep you safe cause we love you." Arwen said to her sister softly in elvish. Amarie smile at her sister with compassion in her eyes. Then the two elfs hugged one another.
"I love you, sister." Amarie whispered back in elvish. A soft tear escaped her eyes making it go down her cheek. Arwen hugs her sister to herself happy to know Amarie was alive and in Middle Earth.
"I love you too. Please be careful and come home safely." She said pulling away to wipe away a few tears that had made their way down her face as well.
"Don't worry Arwen. I shall make sure Aragorn and Amarie come back safely." Serenity said speaking once more. Arwen turn to Serenity a smile on her face a bit of happiness in her eyes shining. She nodded her head.
"Aragorn is your brother and I know he is happier than he has been in years since your arrival. Please stay safe Serenity. You all must come back home safely." Arwen said to her. Serenity smile at Arwen and Amarie.
"We shall fight along one another to protect each of us in the fellowship. Please do not worry your sister knows how to protect herself very well. She is very good with her bow I must admit." Serenity said complementing Amarie making her blush a little. Arwen smile upon her younger sister a smile on her face.
"Yes she is good with the bow I will admit that. Now I believe we all should make haste for we will be late to meet the others." Arwen said to the women in the room.

In the front of the entry of Rivendell stood the Fellowship of the Ring in a half circle with Frodo in front of them. From left to right stood Amarie, Legolas, Serenity, Aragorn, Gandalf, Merry, Pippin, and Sam with the horse. There facing Frodo and the fellowship was Lord Elrond in his elegant robes and to his upper right stood his oldest daughter and twin brothers. Around the area there were more elves that stood in the area to watch the departure of the newly found group.
"Today the ring bearer, Frodo, begins his journey to Mordor. You who stand before us here to help Frodo with his journey are not bound by any oath or promise. They're for you only go as far as you will yourself." Lord Elrond said looking at everyone in the group while speaking with much authority in his voice. Elrond's eyes traveled looking at each member in the group while speaking before he last gaze upon his daughter who only came back a few days ago to leave again to fight against the dark power growing. Lord Elrond not wanting to make a scene turns his attention back to the group.
"Stay to your purpose and may the blessing of elves, men and free folk be with you all." Lord Elrond finished his speech to them. Each of the members bows in respect of Lord Elrond. Then Gandlaf spoke up between the silence that fell.
"We wait for the ring bearer to begin." He said loudly. Everyone eyes turn to Frodo. Frodo slowly turn around looking rather nervous being watched by many at that moment. He began walking towards the group that stood before him. He walks on as they Gandalf and Aragorn move away to let Frodo pass. Frodo passing the two kept walking Gandalf following Frodo who was now behind him followed by the others.
Just as Amarie was about to leave she look at her father one last time. She nodded her head at him and then followed suit after the group never looking back but knowing her father's eyes were upon her back till she was out of sight.

The Fellowship had been walking all day long now and the sun was beginning to set when Gandalf decided to end their journey for that day. Amarie and Boromir went to collect the firewood. The hobbits went to set up their place to sleep while Legolas and Serenity was scanning the area for anything that maybe a danger to them.
Once everyone had done their job which had not taken long they all sat down by the fire that Amarie had made to make dinner. Everyone sat in a circle around the fire talking to one another quietly while Aragorn was fixing the meal. When it was done he gave everyone their share of their meal. Everyone sat quietly eating while chatting. The circle went like this. Serenity, Amarie, Boromir, Sam, Frodo, Gandalf, Glimi, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn and Legolas. While Serenity was eating Pippin asked Serenity a question.
"Lady Serenity you wouldn't happen to know a story you could tell us?" He asked her politely is eyes held curiosity in them. Serenity turns her attention to the young hobbit taken back by the unexpecting question. Pippin's question had made everyone stop their talking and watch the two wondering what Serenity's answer would be.
"A story?" She asked questionable. Pippin nodded his head a smile on his face. Serenity sat there looking at the young hobbit before turning her head to Amarie. Amaire sat there looking at her friend curiously a raised eyebrow at how she would answer this question and if she would tell a story. Serenity seeing her friend would not help her glared at her with a look of 'thanks for nothing'. Amaire only smirk at Serenity amused at the situation. Serenity sighed heavily thinking of a story she could tell them all.
Aragorn who had been eating his dinner quietly watching the people around sat watching his younger sister. Aragorn wondered if Serenity would tell a story. He remembered that Serenity loved to listen to stories that their mother would tell them when they were young. Seeing her now being asked that very question she use to ask their mother when they were children brought back many old memories that Aragorn quickly ignored not wanting to think about the past. So instead he sat quietly wondering what Serenity would say to the young hobbit.
Legolas who had been listening to Gandalf speak to Frodo before Pippin's question came out he had become very interest in the blond beauty that was Aragorn's sister. When the elf had first laid eyes on the blond woman back in Rivendell he wondered where she had come from. Learning that Serenity was Aragorn's sister was something he had not expected. He wondered where she had been all these years and how she and Amarie would help the quest. Although he wished they had stayed behind he would like to get to know Serenity more on their quest since she was with them. When he had met her he had seen something he only saw in Aragorn's eyes. Burden. Deep within her blue eyes hidden behind her happiness and other emotions along with wisdom. He wondered what a creater like her would have a burden for and so he would find out all he can about her.
Serenity who had been thinking of a story should tell them so as not to disappoint the young hobbit who look hopeful sighed heavily once more. Serenity could only think of one story that she could tell them and it was something she had never told anyone and only the scouts knew about. The story about the moon. Serenity looks over to see Gandalf looking at her. Serenity looking at Gandalf saw a look as if knowing what she was thinking. Gandalf only nodded his head his eyes holding mysterious look in them a small smile placed on his lips. Deciding to question Gandalf later Serenity turn her attention back to Pippin.
"So you wish to hear a story, well, then a story I shall tell you then." Serenity said to him with a warm smile on her face. Pippin smile grew big and his eyes lighten up. All three other hobbits look on eager to hear a story from the young woman that was related to Aragorn. Everyone's attention was on Serenity now curiosity filling him or her all wondering what she would tell them. For Amarie though she wondered what Serenity was going to tell them for she did not know many stories from the future that she could tell and they would understand. Serenity took a deep breath before she spoke once again with eyes upon her now.
'I shall only tell them certain things so they do not find out what they need not know yet.' Serenity thought to herself before she began.
"I know of one story that is from where I have been for some time." Serenity began to say. "Even Amarie here knows this story once I begin to tell you it." She stated looking at Amarie who tilted her head in confusion upon hearing this statement by her princess.
"The story begins a thousand years ago in the place I was at but is now a legend to them. The story beings with on the moon. There was a beautiful palace there and people who lived there. They were know as Lurinarns and had many of the elfs traits would have here in Middle Earth." Serenity said before being interrupted.
"People living on the moon? You mean the moon just like the one in the sky?" Sam asked Serenity while pointing to the moon confusion clearly on his face. Amarie giggle lightly at hearing Sam's question.
"Yes Sam just like the moon that is shining upon us this very night." Amarie said a smile on her face. Sam nodded his head a blush on his face, which showed from the light of the fire.
"During this time it was as the Silver Millennium Alliance with the moon having peace with its fellow neighboring planets. The moon palace were the Queen lived with her only daughter and heir to the thrown. The princess being the next heir to the thrown she had special guardians know as the Sailor Scouts who relayed on magic to protect their princess. The guardians were the princesses of the other planets and the Moon Princess' best and most trusted friends. They all lived in harmony for many years and the moon was trying to get the earth at the time to join the Alliance."
"Then on the Moon Princess's sixteen birthday she had gone to earth without mother knowing. There she met and fell in love with the Prince of Earth. The two courted for some time and eventually the Queen of the Moon and King and Queen of Earth found out of this. Although it was forbidden for Earth people to fall in love with people from the moon the King and Queen of Earth realized how much the two were in love and gave them their blessing to be marry as well as the Queen of the Moon did. This marriage between the two would unite earth and the moon joining earth into the Alliance."
"Then two years later on the Moon Princess's eighteen birthday there was a party where she was to announce her engagement to the people of the Moon but something terrible happened." Serenity said to them a hint of sadness in her voice. "A dark power came quickly and attacking the peaceful kingdom not expecting the attack at all. The Moon Princess's guardians along with people of the Moon and neighboring planets went out to fight and save the Queen and Princess of the moon also stop this dark power from spreading. But alas that did not happen for the Princess's guardians were killed in battle as well as all the People of the Moon. The Queen of this dark evil leaving the Queen alone and live murdered both the Princess and her fiancée." Serenity said taking a deep steady breath before continuing on with the story of her past. All eyes were still upon the young blond curious to know what happens even though they had an idea all ready.
"The Queen of the Moon had seen everyone thing she loved and cherished get destroyed in front of her, even the death of her only daughter. The Queen only being able to do one last thing she used a family heirloom that is very powerful crystal drives back this great big evil. By doing this the Queen lost much energy and had barely any left. The Queen was now alone on her kingdom with all who had died by the attack."
"What a sad story." Merry said to them his eyes fill with sadness. Pippin nodded his head agreeing. All the company had sadness in their eyes now with no hope in their eyes. Serenity seeing this had to finish her story.
"Who said I was finished?" Serenity said to them a raised eyebrow at them a small smile on face. All eyes were upon her once again quickly at hearing this comment. Serenity giggled lightly at this reaction but quickly stopped.
"They say that the Queen used what strength she had left for her magic of using this crystal and sent her daughter, fiancée and guardians to the future to live a normal life with no memories of what happened but to be happy. But if evil should arise again they would all get their memories back and protect their Princess once again." Serenity finished her story looking at each of the fellowship member.
But before anyone could speak or say anything Gandalf spoke up gaining the attention of everyone in the fellowship this time.
"I believe what Serenity here is saying about her story if I may say is that no matter what dark power is upon you there is always a bit of hope no matter what. Is that not true Serenity?" He asked her his head tilt a bit to the right with a smile on his face and mysterious glint in his eyes that resembled of something Trista would have in her eyes.
Serenity merely nodded her head at Gandalf a small smile upon her face but deep down questions lingered back in her mind wondering what Gandalf knew. There was something he knew but the question was what and how much did he know.
"Now I do believe the time is growing late and that we should get some rest before our journey in the morning begins once more. But I think it would be best if we had a watch at different times of the night." Gandalf said to them with much authority in his voice.
"I will take the first watch." Amarie said simply.

The Beginning Journey
I do not own Sailor Moon or Lord of the Rings.
It had been two days now that has passed by since the day the Fellowship was formed. Serenity was in her room getting ready for her long quest with Amarie and the others that started today to protect Frodo. Serenity look down to see she had to put her bow and sword left that was lying on her bed. She stood there gazing at the two for a minute wondering if she should take her sword with her. Sighing heavily she picked up her sword her brother gave her and placed it in her subspace pocket for now followed by placing her bow on her back with her quills. Just as she placed her bow on her back a soft knock came to the door.
"Who is it?" Serenity asked hearing the knock. A soft familiar voice that Serenity knew only to well answered her question back.
"It is only I, Serenity, Amarie." Was the reply from the other side of the wooden door. Serenity smile to herself happy to know Amarie would be with her on the quest.
"Come in Amarie." Serenity said back quickly before turning to a mirror to check her hair. The door open soundlessly as Amarie came walking in and closed it once more.
"Are you ready Serenity?" Amarie asked her friend who's back was turn to her at the moment. Serenity quickly making sure her hair would not fall out of the braid turn around once more to face her elf friend before her. Her gaze falling upon her friend noticing what Amarie was wearing.
Before answering Amarie, Serenity gaze over what the elf maiden was wearing. Amarie was wearing a dark purple tunic with white shirt and boots with her cloak over it. Her hair was pulled up into a tight bun atop her head to keep her hair away from her violet eyes. Serenity also noticed Amarie had a short sword on her left side and her bow and quills on her back. Once she was done looking over her friend's choice of cloths she smile at her friend.
"I see you are ready. I am ready as well so we should be going. But there is one thing I like to speak to you about before we leave." Serenity said to her friend her smile leaving her face with a serious look.
"What is it Serenity?" Amarie asked her quietly, curiosity filling her eyes. Serenity took a step closer to her friend before speaking. When she did speak it was in a quiet voice for just above a whisper.

Amarie's eyes filled with understanding as to what Serenity was saying and nodded her head stating she understood.
"I agree with you Serenity. It will be easier that way to stay away from questions but if we must use our powers then we will have too hopefully it will not go come to that although I have a feeling we will have to use our powers at some point." Amarie replied back to her friend in a serious voice her eyes never leaving connect of Serenity's blue ones.
"Yes I have the same feeling as well. But I'm afraid only time will tell." Serenity stated back sighing heavily breaking eye connect to look past the door in thinking. Amarie giggle lightly at Serenity's words bringing her friend back to reality quickly. Serenity turns her attention back to her friend a delicate eyebrow raised in wonder.
"If I may ask what is so amusing to you Amarie?" Serenity asks her friend. Amarie smile shaking her head.
"I just think you have been around Trista too much. You are starting to sound like her." She said to her. Serenity smile at her friend's comment about Trista.
"Thanks Amarie." Serenity said shaking her head while sighing. Then all of a sudden a knock came to the door interrupting Serenity and Amarie's talk. Amarie look to her friend a raised eyebrow in a silent question as to whom was at the door. Serenity just shrugged her shoulders at her friend wondering as well who was at the door for she was not expecting anyone to come to her room. For her brother Aragorn had all ready tried to make her stay at Rivendale and not go on the quest a night ago but failed to change Serenity's decision.
"Who is at the door?" Serenity spoke loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear her question. A voice spoke that Amarie knew all to well answer back.
"It is I ,Arwen, sister of Amarie. May I enter?" The voice replied back from the other side of the door. Serenity quickly made her way over to the wooden door and opens it revealing Arwen in a plain but elegant red dress with a small tiara on her head. Serenity smile upon facing the oldest of daughter of Lord Elrond.
"Lady Arwen please come in." Serenity said opening to the door wide enough to let her in. Arwen smile at Serenity her head bowing a little at Serenity. Arwen came in the room all the way to find her sister standing before.
"Please call me Arwen. After all you are Aragorn's sister." Arwen said to Serenity as she closed the door. Serenity smile at Amarie's older sister turning around after shutting the door.
"As you wish but only if you call me Serenity. You are family just like Amarie is to me." Serenity stated to her looking at her Amarie then turning back to Arwen. When Serenity had look at Amarie she could see sadness in her eyes that was being held behind a fake happy look. But Amarie's voice brought Serenity away from her thoughts once again.
"Arwen, may I ask what you are doing here? We were about to meet the others." Amarie asked her sister. Amarie looking at her sister and seeing a determined look in her eyes that was so familiar to her that they had inherited from their father placed upon her sister's face.
"I have come to not just on behalf of father's request but my own to ask you two to stay behind and let the others protect Frodo. Stay here in Rivendell where you will both be safe. It would be safer for you to leave this burden to the others." Arwen pleaded to them both with fear and worriedness in her eyes. Serenity smile that had been on her face left quickly with a sadness in her eyes at knowing that going on this journey will make Lord Elrond and Arewn worry about Amarie. She stood there looking at Amarie in the eyes for a second before turning to Arwen.
"I can not speak for Amarie but I shall speak for myself. For me to not help anyway I can is just not possible. I have abilities that can aid at such a dark time as now and I will not sit and let other people fight to protect me like my brother when I can fight as well. I will do what I can to save Middle Earth and if it means my life so be it." Serenity said to Arwen in a regal voice, determination sparkling in her blue eyes as she spoke.
Amarie stood there listening to Serenity's words as she spoke to Arwen on her decision and knew her sister and father would be very worried about her as well as her older brothers. But she like Serenity felt the same way. They could help out against the dark lord, Sauron, and they won't stand around.
'We have fought to many times against dark forces for us to just stop now. Besides Serenity doesn't like people protecting her either.' Amarie thought to herself. Serenity stopped talking and the two were now facing Amarie. Amarie look at her sister once more to see the emotions run pass her sister once more just like they did in the past when she told them she was leaving to help another world. Amarie took a deep breath before she spoke to her sister.
"Arwen, sister. I have made my decision and will go to help the others with protecting Frodo. As Serenity has all ready said we have abilities that we learned in the other world that can aid Middle Earth to defeating Sauron." Amarie said a serious and determined voice spoke without fear anywhere.
"I have seen what dark forces can do and I have not stood by to let them defeat us in the other world and so now that I am home once more I will stop fighting against another dark force that threatens my home, family and friends. I will fight to protect it with everything I have. I'm sorry if I upset and disappoint you or father. I have to do this." She finished saying still looking at her sister stern voice.
Arwen stood there a look of disappointment in her eyes. Arwen sighed heavily before making her way over to herself. She look into her sister's eyes and held onto her shoulder a smile on her face before speaking to her sister.
"You have never disappointed father or I. You, sister, have made us all proud and only wish to keep you safe cause we love you." Arwen said to her sister softly in elvish. Amarie smile at her sister with compassion in her eyes. Then the two elfs hugged one another.
"I love you, sister." Amarie whispered back in elvish. A soft tear escaped her eyes making it go down her cheek. Arwen hugs her sister to herself happy to know Amarie was alive and in Middle Earth.
"I love you too. Please be careful and come home safely." She said pulling away to wipe away a few tears that had made their way down her face as well.
"Don't worry Arwen. I shall make sure Aragorn and Amarie come back safely." Serenity said speaking once more. Arwen turn to Serenity a smile on her face a bit of happiness in her eyes shining. She nodded her head.
"Aragorn is your brother and I know he is happier than he has been in years since your arrival. Please stay safe Serenity. You all must come back home safely." Arwen said to her. Serenity smile at Arwen and Amarie.
"We shall fight along one another to protect each of us in the fellowship. Please do not worry your sister knows how to protect herself very well. She is very good with her bow I must admit." Serenity said complementing Amarie making her blush a little. Arwen smile upon her younger sister a smile on her face.
"Yes she is good with the bow I will admit that. Now I believe we all should make haste for we will be late to meet the others." Arwen said to the women in the room.

In the front of the entry of Rivendell stood the Fellowship of the Ring in a half circle with Frodo in front of them. From left to right stood Amarie, Legolas, Serenity, Aragorn, Gandalf, Merry, Pippin, and Sam with the horse. There facing Frodo and the fellowship was Lord Elrond in his elegant robes and to his upper right stood his oldest daughter and twin brothers. Around the area there were more elves that stood in the area to watch the departure of the newly found group.
"Today the ring bearer, Frodo, begins his journey to Mordor. You who stand before us here to help Frodo with his journey are not bound by any oath or promise. They're for you only go as far as you will yourself." Lord Elrond said looking at everyone in the group while speaking with much authority in his voice. Elrond's eyes traveled looking at each member in the group while speaking before he last gaze upon his daughter who only came back a few days ago to leave again to fight against the dark power growing. Lord Elrond not wanting to make a scene turns his attention back to the group.
"Stay to your purpose and may the blessing of elves, men and free folk be with you all." Lord Elrond finished his speech to them. Each of the members bows in respect of Lord Elrond. Then Gandlaf spoke up between the silence that fell.
"We wait for the ring bearer to begin." He said loudly. Everyone eyes turn to Frodo. Frodo slowly turn around looking rather nervous being watched by many at that moment. He began walking towards the group that stood before him. He walks on as they Gandalf and Aragorn move away to let Frodo pass. Frodo passing the two kept walking Gandalf following Frodo who was now behind him followed by the others.
Just as Amarie was about to leave she look at her father one last time. She nodded her head at him and then followed suit after the group never looking back but knowing her father's eyes were upon her back till she was out of sight.

The Fellowship had been walking all day long now and the sun was beginning to set when Gandalf decided to end their journey for that day. Amarie and Boromir went to collect the firewood. The hobbits went to set up their place to sleep while Legolas and Serenity was scanning the area for anything that maybe a danger to them.
Once everyone had done their job which had not taken long they all sat down by the fire that Amarie had made to make dinner. Everyone sat in a circle around the fire talking to one another quietly while Aragorn was fixing the meal. When it was done he gave everyone their share of their meal. Everyone sat quietly eating while chatting. The circle went like this. Serenity, Amarie, Boromir, Sam, Frodo, Gandalf, Glimi, Merry, Pippin, Aragorn and Legolas. While Serenity was eating Pippin asked Serenity a question.
"Lady Serenity you wouldn't happen to know a story you could tell us?" He asked her politely is eyes held curiosity in them. Serenity turns her attention to the young hobbit taken back by the unexpecting question. Pippin's question had made everyone stop their talking and watch the two wondering what Serenity's answer would be.
"A story?" She asked questionable. Pippin nodded his head a smile on his face. Serenity sat there looking at the young hobbit before turning her head to Amarie. Amaire sat there looking at her friend curiously a raised eyebrow at how she would answer this question and if she would tell a story. Serenity seeing her friend would not help her glared at her with a look of 'thanks for nothing'. Amaire only smirk at Serenity amused at the situation. Serenity sighed heavily thinking of a story she could tell them all.
Aragorn who had been eating his dinner quietly watching the people around sat watching his younger sister. Aragorn wondered if Serenity would tell a story. He remembered that Serenity loved to listen to stories that their mother would tell them when they were young. Seeing her now being asked that very question she use to ask their mother when they were children brought back many old memories that Aragorn quickly ignored not wanting to think about the past. So instead he sat quietly wondering what Serenity would say to the young hobbit.
Legolas who had been listening to Gandalf speak to Frodo before Pippin's question came out he had become very interest in the blond beauty that was Aragorn's sister. When the elf had first laid eyes on the blond woman back in Rivendell he wondered where she had come from. Learning that Serenity was Aragorn's sister was something he had not expected. He wondered where she had been all these years and how she and Amarie would help the quest. Although he wished they had stayed behind he would like to get to know Serenity more on their quest since she was with them. When he had met her he had seen something he only saw in Aragorn's eyes. Burden. Deep within her blue eyes hidden behind her happiness and other emotions along with wisdom. He wondered what a creater like her would have a burden for and so he would find out all he can about her.
Serenity who had been thinking of a story should tell them so as not to disappoint the young hobbit who look hopeful sighed heavily once more. Serenity could only think of one story that she could tell them and it was something she had never told anyone and only the scouts knew about. The story about the moon. Serenity looks over to see Gandalf looking at her. Serenity looking at Gandalf saw a look as if knowing what she was thinking. Gandalf only nodded his head his eyes holding mysterious look in them a small smile placed on his lips. Deciding to question Gandalf later Serenity turn her attention back to Pippin.
"So you wish to hear a story, well, then a story I shall tell you then." Serenity said to him with a warm smile on her face. Pippin smile grew big and his eyes lighten up. All three other hobbits look on eager to hear a story from the young woman that was related to Aragorn. Everyone's attention was on Serenity now curiosity filling him or her all wondering what she would tell them. For Amarie though she wondered what Serenity was going to tell them for she did not know many stories from the future that she could tell and they would understand. Serenity took a deep breath before she spoke once again with eyes upon her now.
'I shall only tell them certain things so they do not find out what they need not know yet.' Serenity thought to herself before she began.
"I know of one story that is from where I have been for some time." Serenity began to say. "Even Amarie here knows this story once I begin to tell you it." She stated looking at Amarie who tilted her head in confusion upon hearing this statement by her princess.
"The story begins a thousand years ago in the place I was at but is now a legend to them. The story beings with on the moon. There was a beautiful palace there and people who lived there. They were know as Lurinarns and had many of the elfs traits would have here in Middle Earth." Serenity said before being interrupted.
"People living on the moon? You mean the moon just like the one in the sky?" Sam asked Serenity while pointing to the moon confusion clearly on his face. Amarie giggle lightly at hearing Sam's question.
"Yes Sam just like the moon that is shining upon us this very night." Amarie said a smile on her face. Sam nodded his head a blush on his face, which showed from the light of the fire.
"During this time it was as the Silver Millennium Alliance with the moon having peace with its fellow neighboring planets. The moon palace were the Queen lived with her only daughter and heir to the thrown. The princess being the next heir to the thrown she had special guardians know as the Sailor Scouts who relayed on magic to protect their princess. The guardians were the princesses of the other planets and the Moon Princess' best and most trusted friends. They all lived in harmony for many years and the moon was trying to get the earth at the time to join the Alliance."
"Then on the Moon Princess's sixteen birthday she had gone to earth without mother knowing. There she met and fell in love with the Prince of Earth. The two courted for some time and eventually the Queen of the Moon and King and Queen of Earth found out of this. Although it was forbidden for Earth people to fall in love with people from the moon the King and Queen of Earth realized how much the two were in love and gave them their blessing to be marry as well as the Queen of the Moon did. This marriage between the two would unite earth and the moon joining earth into the Alliance."
"Then two years later on the Moon Princess's eighteen birthday there was a party where she was to announce her engagement to the people of the Moon but something terrible happened." Serenity said to them a hint of sadness in her voice. "A dark power came quickly and attacking the peaceful kingdom not expecting the attack at all. The Moon Princess's guardians along with people of the Moon and neighboring planets went out to fight and save the Queen and Princess of the moon also stop this dark power from spreading. But alas that did not happen for the Princess's guardians were killed in battle as well as all the People of the Moon. The Queen of this dark evil leaving the Queen alone and live murdered both the Princess and her fiancée." Serenity said taking a deep steady breath before continuing on with the story of her past. All eyes were still upon the young blond curious to know what happens even though they had an idea all ready.
"The Queen of the Moon had seen everyone thing she loved and cherished get destroyed in front of her, even the death of her only daughter. The Queen only being able to do one last thing she used a family heirloom that is very powerful crystal drives back this great big evil. By doing this the Queen lost much energy and had barely any left. The Queen was now alone on her kingdom with all who had died by the attack."
"What a sad story." Merry said to them his eyes fill with sadness. Pippin nodded his head agreeing. All the company had sadness in their eyes now with no hope in their eyes. Serenity seeing this had to finish her story.
"Who said I was finished?" Serenity said to them a raised eyebrow at them a small smile on face. All eyes were upon her once again quickly at hearing this comment. Serenity giggled lightly at this reaction but quickly stopped.
"They say that the Queen used what strength she had left for her magic of using this crystal and sent her daughter, fiancée and guardians to the future to live a normal life with no memories of what happened but to be happy. But if evil should arise again they would all get their memories back and protect their Princess once again." Serenity finished her story looking at each of the fellowship member.
But before anyone could speak or say anything Gandalf spoke up gaining the attention of everyone in the fellowship this time.
"I believe what Serenity here is saying about her story if I may say is that no matter what dark power is upon you there is always a bit of hope no matter what. Is that not true Serenity?" He asked her his head tilt a bit to the right with a smile on his face and mysterious glint in his eyes that resembled of something Trista would have in her eyes.
Serenity merely nodded her head at Gandalf a small smile upon her face but deep down questions lingered back in her mind wondering what Gandalf knew. There was something he knew but the question was what and how much did he know.
"Now I do believe the time is growing late and that we should get some rest before our journey in the morning begins once more. But I think it would be best if we had a watch at different times of the night." Gandalf said to them with much authority in his voice.
"I will take the first watch." Amarie said simply.
