A/N: Another chapter! And I'm on my twelve in the book ^-^

They walked over the long hills for hours till it was past dusk.
"Shouldn't we stop?" Pippin said as he started to slow down. "I mean, it is past dusk already."
"Yeah," Merry said.
"Good idea, actually," Krystal said as she stopped and looked around. 'Um. why not right here?" Frodo shook his head.
"We shouldn't be somewhere that we can be seen," He said. "Believe me, we've had bad experiences from that."
They walked a while longer until they got to a small clearing where there were tall trees and bushes all around in a circle.
"I wonder why this circle was made," Sam whispered as they walked in it. "I mean, if anyone made it."
"It was made by elves in the dark times when Sauron was at the height of his power," Krystal said as she set her pack down. "They made many of these, each in different places, so protect them from the enemies."
"The elves?" Sam said, setting his pack down and looking at Krystal with interest; he was always interested in any stories about the elves. Krystal nodded.
"If they were traveling and had two or more companions, they could protect themselves against the enemy; as long as there wasn't many, that is," She said as she sat down. "They knew spells, enchantments. I suppose you could really just call them incantations." She leaned against a tree and closed her eyes, and slowly sung softly.
"Morning would come
Travelers be them they would ride,
Or set on foot an easy stride.
They would travel for days
Weeks, if you may,
To search for the land of Rivendell.
They would sleep in circles
Surrounded by bush and tree
They could defeat the enemy
Just with three,
On their search for the land of Rivendell.
Their circles stayed
Even after they left
Though the rain would pour
The wind sway
They had made their way to the land of Rivendell
Day by day."
Sam sat transfixed at Krystal, listening keenly to every word she sung.
"Know you of any other stories of elves?" He asked her. Krystal nodded.
"I know many stories but many of them are too dark to tell here, for they speak of the land of which the first ring of power was made," She said quietly. "I do, however," She spoke louder. "Know a few stories not so dark that you may enjoy." Sam nodded intensively as she told a story of the elves and their usual daily doings. She also explained to them about their healing techniques. It wasn't really a story, but Sam didn't care and took it as a great knowledge he was now learning. They stayed up a great deal before they soon all got very tired and Krystal stopped speaking.
"We really should go to sleep," She said. "We really should get some rest." They all nodded and laid down, starring at the dancing lights of the fire they had made until they fell asleep. What they didn't know was that not far away on a close hill were three dark figures draped in black cloaks were starring down on them as they slowly nodded off.
