Author's note: Hi. i really have nothing to say except please r&r! alot of
dialogue in this as well. I made up the heroes.
A Haunting Past
Crysta looked up, all she coul see was the trees above her. But she laughed. "Hello Legolas, surely you wouldn't shoot someone who has traveled for three days just to see you? I would say that would be a little rude."
"Crysta?" Legolas jumped down from the tree in front of her.
They embraced. "Legolas, it's so good to see you again. I've missed you."
"And I you." Legolas responded. "but what brings you to Mirkwood? I thought you spent two months in Rivendell."
"I have come to warn you of the Black Shadows."
Legolas looked puzzled. "What black shadows? I see nothing."
"What?" Crysta looked around and saw the shadows. She just didn't understand whyno one but her could see it. "How can you not see it? It's there as plain as day!"
"Maybe we should talk somewhere other than here." Legolas said. He turned and led Crysta through the forest. She thought it was amazing that he never got lost. Of course, he has been here for more than two thousand years. she thought.
They kept twisting and turning through the trees until they reached a clearing. Crysta saw many buildings. There was a green glow everywhere. "Wow! Some city you have here. But I thought the elves of Mirkwood lived in caves."
"Only some of us in certain parts where the danger is great." replied Legolas. "I think we should go to my home now." They continued to a huge hall. Inside, it was laden with green tapestries and had paintings of elves in battle.
"Behold the heroes of Mirkwood. One day I hope to be on this wall." Legolas looked at an empty space on the wall."
"Surely your being in the Fellowship and fighting at Helm's Deep would be enough. It sure seems like alot of heroic deeds to me."
"Yes, but my deeds are nowhere near to thes heroes. Silveran Treespirit saved Mirkwood from attacks of millions of orcs by destroying their great leader with his arrow. Yamain Windwhisp killed an entire nest of giant spiders that were attacking the city with his daggers. And Baradel Spark killed an evil spirit that was killing the elves with his mighty sword. So you see, my deeds are not enough to get on the wall."
Crysta replied, "Well, you might get on that wall sooner than you think. Now I must tell you of the shadows." And so she told the story once again. And she also told what Gandalf had told her about the army of evil that destroys the land they're on. By the time she finished her story Legolas was looking very worried.
"How long does it take for these armies to appear? And where is Gandalf?"
"I don't know when the armies appear. But Gandalf has taken Ian and has gone to retrieve the hobbits."
"Who's Ian? A friend of your's?" Legolas asked.
"Oh, yes he's a fairy. We met the first day I came to the fairylands."
Legola smiled. "I can't wait to meet him. We must warn my father of the shadows. I think I shall join you to warn Aragorn."
"Wait," Crysta said, "Don't you want to stay and help gaurd Mirkwood? '
"My father can take care of our people. I would return to fight after Aragorn is sure he can guard Gondor from these armies."
"But we don't know how strong these warriors are." Crysta said.
"Still, I cannot leave him alone. He is my friend after all."
"I suppose your right." said Crysta.

Meanwhile, Gandalf and Ian were just reaching the Shire. "I think we are here." said Gandalf.
" 'Bout time." said Ian. "You do know where the hobbits live right?"
"Of course." said Gandalf. "Frodo and Sam live in Buckland. Merry and Pippin live there as well. We need to get to the Brandywine to get to their homes." He slowed Shadowfax down to a walk. They went throught the Shire quickly.
"Wow, this is beautiful country. My pop would love it." said Ian.
"Yes, they do have lovely land here. It's easy to settle down here." replied Gandalf.
"No doubt about that." said Ian.
They sat upon Shadowfax and talked until they reached Buckland. Ian was admiring the rushing water when Gandalf spoke. "I beleive we are here." he said. They stopped in front of two small houses side by side.
Gandalf dismounted his horse and Ian followed suit. The old wizard walked up to the first house and tapped on the door sharply with his staff. the door opened and a curly brown head popped out of the opening. "Hello my good hobbit" said Gandalf, "is Frodo home?"
The hobbit's eyes widened in excitement. "Gandalf! how good it is to see you. Mr. Frodo come quick! Gandalf's at the door!" Another head quickly popped out.
"Gandalf!"
