A/N: if their name is at the top, that's who's pov it's told by, just in case you didn't get that.

ARWEN

The next morning, I headed to father's throne room for a gathering. Everyone who was going to look into the case was to meet before they were sent off, and I desired to go with them.

When I entered, they were ready to leave. "Arwen," father said. "Is there something you need?"

"I request permission to go with them," I said. "I want to help, and you know that if I must, I can fight."

He sighed. "Yes, I know. But you are my eldest daughter and I don't want to see you harmed."

Aragorn looked at me, then back to his lord. "Lord Elrond, with your permission, I will protect her. If she gets so much as a scratch, it will be on my hands."

He paused, then waved his hand dismissively. "I don't have time for this. Alright, then, go with them."

I smiled. "Thank you, father!"

"Now go, so that you may return."

I exited with Legolas, Aragorn, Radona, Ohtar, and a Man. Once we were out of the throne room, Aragorn turned to me. "This is my human friend who is also coming along. His name is Naligor. You may not remember him, but you have met a long time ago."

Naligor nodded politely and I did the same. "Do you know Radona and Ohtar?"

"We have been introduced."

Radona looked at Ohtar. "He is coming?" she asked.

"Do you object?" Legolas asked.

Radona looked away. "Why, of course not," she said. "But he is a child, and I am not sure that he will be useful in a battle. If anything, he will be another life to watch after."

Ohtar looked at her. "A male child is just as useful as a full-grown female."

Radona looked to Legolas. "He also has quite a mouth."

Legolas smiled. "Maybe so, but do remember that we are not going into battle in the first place. We are merely gathering information and reporting back."

"However, there will likely be a battle," Radona returned. "If-"

"Lord Elrond has given us a job," Aragorn interrupted. "I suggest we do it."
