The eight remaining members of the fellowship and the two twins
stood facing each other. Elaina and Elliot were in a state of shock, however,
they were slowly coming out of it. The realization that the rune given to
them by their parents was most like ly the cause of this, calmed their fears
a bit. Their parents would never send them anywhere dangerous would they? After
all, this was a little bit like Astral Projection. Fully traveling to another
realm. This didn't happen every day.

The twins vaguely remembered something their mother had told them while
they were young.

"One day, your full power will show, only then will you become your true selves."

"Who are you two exactly? You are twins if I am not mistaken. Why are you dressed
like that and sitting in the middle of an orc infested forest?" Gimli asked in a
steady voice, breaking the silence.

Sensing an opportunity to make friends with these people, however odd they
were, Elliot decided to answer. Elaina however, remained silent, examining the group
in front of her. She was undoubtedly afraid, yet at the same time she trusted them.
Her fear was not of them, she couldn't quite place why a feeling of foreboding welled
up inside of her. She felt anger as well. Anger towards her parents, for sending her
to such a place. They knew what the rune would to, she had no doubt in that fact. Her
thoughts broke when Elliot began to speak, her attention turned to him.

"I am Elliot, and this is my twin sister, Elaina." Elliot said in his usual controlled
voice. His words confirming Gimli's observation. Elliot continued. "Our clothing is of
our homeland. Our business is no matter of yours. Question not what we do and we shall
not question yours." Elliot finished. He spoke with such finality that told that he would
not state exactly what his homeland was or why he and his twin were sitting in such a
place. The fellowship seemed to accept his explanation. Elliot spoke in such a way that
nobody thought that he came from another world, let alone another time entirely. Elliot
was well versed in theater and ancient ways of speech. The fellowship simply smiled, any
doubt that the twins could not be trusted was erased entirely.

"Well we certainly cannot leave such fine travelers alone, especially not in these woods.
We ask you to travel with us. Even if it is only until we exit this place. I must admit I
am intrigued." Strider finished. The twins could not refuse such an offer of pretty much
secured safety, and they agreed to go with the troupe of warriors.

Boromir however was not impressed with Striders decision. At his first opportunity, he
pulled Strider aside.

"Just what do you think you are doing? We know nothing of these people!" Boromir whispered
in a hurried whisper. Legolas, noticing the discussion, strolled over to listen.

"I trust them, they go with us. No one should be left alone in this forest. Especially
defenseless youths."Legolas stated firmly. Sealing the fate of the twins. Yet he did not
realize it. No one could. Not even the twins themselves.

As the fellowship continues on, thus begins the adventure of the twin stars.
However, circumstance, or fate, has dealt them a cruel hand, with only dull blades
to defend themselves, they must continue into the unknown world with the oddest group
of characters that they have ever known. The realization of their own destiny, as well as
their hidden gift lies ahead, but should they fall before it is realized, could affect the
balance of both worlds. The reality lies in them.

In a small house set before a dense forest, two shadowy figures stood, looking into
a mirror. A strange sight to behold, for the mirror reflected not their images, but a vast
wood, in which could be seen a group of ten travelers. Two of them were set apart. Dressed
in the modern clothing of our time, an ebony black color, whilst the rest were dressed in
clothing of an unknown or lost time. The female figure gazing almost longingly into the mirror
gave a soft sigh.

"Good luck, my children. Wether you will need it has yet to be decided. The Goddess watches
over you, and so will I." came the soft female whisper, in a somewhat fearful voice. One that
both knew, and didn't know, what should become of the twins.


A/N:Sigh, there is chapter four. Review!!!! Come on, please! It's doesn't take much... Hee hee! The
action is coming. As well as a little more info on the twins. I've yet to decide in what way any
romance will come. It will though. Although to what degree I don't know. It may not be evident but
watch for it. Watch for the battle in the next chapter as well as everyone's thoughts on each other.
