Disclaimer: I own none of Tolkien's characters except my own which are so far the elements and the song is mine.I wanna thank The Renewer who reviewed and had also read my other story!! I hope I get more reviews or else this story shall fall into the hands of Sauron and it wouldn't be pretty.

"Why Me" was all that could be heard from the chamber that Neried was in. " Why is it always me who has to do the fetching.!?!? I am just as powerful as the rest yet they treat me like a mortal child!"

The fellowship talked of many things. Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf filled Boromir in on what had happened after he died. Boromir was surprised when Aragorn told him how they found Merry and Pippin at the gates of Isengard eating and relaxing. He found this sort of amusing. It was just like them. Once questions had been answered most of the fellowship fell asleep, except Legolas. Aragorn, Gandalf and, Boromir. They stayed up talking. " Do you trust this being?" Boromir questioned. One could not easily tell that he was frightened a little by her. " I do, but I do not put my full trust in her. We hardly know anything about her" replied Legolas. " You are right friend. There is something amiss that I do not fully like about her. She seems too mysterious to be fully trusted." Added Aragorn. All eyes of those who were awake rested on Gandalf waiting for him to add his own thought. Finally he spoke, " I agree with both of you that she is mysterious and that there is something about her but I feel comfortable trusting her. Little is known about her and the others."

"OTHERS?!?! What do you mean. There are more like her?" Boromir asked.

"Yes, but only three. As she has said that she is one of the Elements which means that she is in fact on our side. Nothing dark can compete with an Element's power, but that does not mean they cannot fall." Answered Gandalf. "And to add to that, she did in fact bring us back and rescue Frodo." Added Aragron.

"It is just like the songs that have been forgotten about the Elements. I barely remember them except a little of one:

1 An Element from every corner of Middle-Earth

From Earth to Air, Fire to Water

Four immortals came from each.

Baring gifts of Hope, Life, Health and Strength

Given to everything

Beings of power beyond all

The Elements they were. Watchers of all!!" sang Legolas.

" Yes I faintly remember that song. Forgotten it is. Watchers of all, the Elements are. Each watching something. The Element Earth watches the land, The Element Air watches the creatures, The Element Fire watches the Dead, and the Element Water watches the beings of this land. Everything from Hobbits, Men, Elves, Dwarves, and more, which is who our friend Neried is. She said she watched us perish." Said Gandalf. "Believe what you think, but I still do not trust her for some reason." Snapped Boromir.

The group sat there for about an hour more till Gandalf suggested that they get some rest. Boromir could not rest so he decided to walk around. He knew that Legolas had heard him leave but he did not care. He knew that the elf would not follow.

Boromir walked around for about an hour or so. As he passed one chamber he heard Neried. He walked back to the room and listened. " What am I going to do? They always leave me with the problem. But then again I am the watcher of them, so it is my problem." Boromir listened intently to what she had said. Neried began to walk out of the room and walked right into Boromir ,not knowing he was there, and fell to the floor.

" Urgh!! Oh , hello, didn't see you there." Neried said happily.

" Well obviously you didn't. It seems you were lost in your own thoughts." Boromir said coldly.

Neried took notice of this and picked herself up off the floor thinking how ungentlemanly it was that he didn't help and answered using the same tone, " Yes I was. What is it about me that bothers you."

" How did yo….WHAT!! What do you mean?" Boromir said surprised.

" You know exactly what I mean. I will tell you this. I needn't fear me for I will not harm you or anyone else of the fellowship." Neried said simply and began to walk away.

Boromir laughed, " What makes you think I am afraid?"

I am not blind. I can sense it. Now I suggest you get back and rest or you will have something to be afraid of. I will wake the fellowship in a few hours." And with that Neried turned a corner and left Boromir to think. He stood there for a few moments thinking but decided it be best to return.



When he arrived back at his chambers the fellowship was staying in, he noticed that everyone was still asleep and decided to go sleep himself.

Neried entered the room about two hours later to wake-up the fellowship. She being restless herself decided that time was no friend now, it was against them now. Legolas had awoken when he heard the door open.

"Morning Lady Neried. I see you were also restless." He said walking over to her.

"Yes it seems that way, but we must start soon or all will be lost. And please do not be so formal. Nobody her calls me Lady Neried and I don't want to start now, and it is not necessary since we all share the same fate." She replied.

" Okay, but I do not want you calling me Prince Legolas or anything like that for I do not like it either." He said with a smile on his face.

" Agreed." Neried said. They both chuckled at this. One by one they awoke the fellowship.

" Why so early. It must not be even four o'clock." Pippin said sleepily.

" Oh, but it is past five o'clock. The sun does reach this place till morning around eight o'clock." Neried said with laughter in her voice. The wondered how one who looked younger than Legolas could actually be older than him by thousands of years still act like a child at times.

" We must not linger or wait. We must start quickly, but first we need to know what to do and where to start." Said Neried walking out of the room followed by four hungry hobbits, a grumpy dwarf, a wise wizard, two sleep men, and one calm elf.
