A/N: Yippee! Here's another chapter for my fanfic. Again I still haven't read even a chapter of the book yet. Not that it's anyone's fault but I think someone needs to let people borrow their books once in a while *cough* my sister *cough* Anyway, hope this one's good. Also, thanks very much to Tippy for that information about the characters.

Krystal sat down at the small table in Frodo's kitchen while Frodo took five cups out of a cabinet. While he poured tea into the cups Krystal held up her hand to her face and studied the ring. It seems so familiar, she thought.

"What's that?" Pippin said as he sat down, also looking at the ring. Krystal shrugged.

"Just a ring I found." She said and put her hand down; but Frodo was also looking at the ring.

"Where'd you find that?" He said, looking at the elfish markings around the ring.

"Just out in the woods," Krystal said. "Not that it's that important, though."



"Not that it's that important?" Sam whispered as Krystal walked into the woods after saying she wanted to explore it a bit more. "Frodo, you don't think that's what I think it is, do you?" Frodo shook his head while starring at Krystal.

"I'm not sure. I mean there isn't another ring, is there?" Pippin shrugged.

"We can only guess," He said. "If it is, though, do you think we can trust her? I mean what if she's a follower of Sauron who's trying to bring him back?"

"Sauron is dead, isn't he? We did destroy the ring after all." Sam said. Merry nodded.

"I don't think you could bring Sauron back if the ring was destroyed but what if Pippin's right? What if you could bring him back with another ring, even if it's not the same one as before?" Frodo shook his head.

"Well, we'll just have to find out for ourselves," He said. "Well, come on." He ran down the hill, being careful not to slip.

"Where are we going?" Pippin asked as they all followed Frodo.

"To go ask Krystal some questions," Frodo said, running to keep up with Krystal. "Krystal, wait up!"

Krystal stopped walking and turned around.

"Yes? What is it?" She asked as they all ran over.

"You said you found that ring in here, right?" Frodo asked. Krystal nodded.

"Yeah, I did. Over in the stream," She said. "Why?"

"Can I see it for a moment?"

"The stream?"

"No, the ring," Frodo said, holding out his hand. "Just for a moment." Krystal nodded.

"Sure," She took the ring off of her finger and handed it to Frodo. "Here you go."

Frodo held it in his hand and then, very cautiously and slowly, placed it on his finger. Krystal gasped as Frodo disappeared right in front of them. He reappeared a few seconds later with the ring back in his hand.

"How'd you-?" Krystal asked but Frodo interrupted her.

"That's no ordinary ring you've found, or at least you say you've found." Frodo said.

"What do you mean, it's not an ordinary ring? And what do you mean, at least I say I've found?" Krystal asked.

"What I mean," Frodo said. "Is that that ring is one of the rings of power."
