As Aallieah left the ground the first thing she noticed was how cold she actually was. The instant she was in the air she could not feel her extremities; and she also noticed her wings were not cooperating. As she looked at the ground it seemed as though she was not moving but her senses told her she was moving at a great speed. When she turned to get her bearings all she saw was a wall of white; she was lost.
Cursing under her breath she then looked at her dilemma from all angles possible. Well this is good, she thought. Fine if I can't get out of the blizzard I will go above it. With that in mind she hurtled her self straight up into the air.
Although she felt that she had only been fling for what seemed like only a few minutes her body was telling her other wise. I will not fail, I will make it back. Slowly she started back in the direction she thought she had come from. But the task that laid ahead was not feasible, her strength was ebbing fast. The last thing she saw before she fell into oblivion was a total and utter wall of white.

"Gandalf," Boromir said, "We must move we cannot wait."
"No! I will not desert her in her time of need."
Aragorn then spoke softly, "No one could survive out there for over and hour without any protection." He was looking at the cloak she had given Gandalf before her departure. "We must begin to face the fact that she may not be returning to us."
"Wait!" exclaimed Legolas, "I see something."
Everyone looked where he was pointing. Sure enough not one member of the Fellowship could mistake the slight glimmer they saw in the distance. But what they saw worried them greatly; although Aallieah was flying toward them she was descending rapidly. Suddenly she was in a complete free fall; if she had anyway for as graceful landing in her demonstration she ignored it. She hit the ground with a startling thump; she did not move. Aragorn was the first to spring into action, soon the rest of the Fellowship followed him. When Aragorn reached Aallieah he turned her on to her back. What he saw greatly distressed him; although she was breathing laboriously she was almost to cold to touch; her lips were a bright blue. As Aragorn toughed her she awoke.
"Not normal…couldn't make it…voice." With that she lapsed back into unconsciousness. Aragorn then picked her up and started to carry her back to their make shift campsite.
"She's right," Legolas told Gandalf. "There is a fell voice on the air.
"It's Saruman," Gandalf declared. "He has found us anyway." As he finished speaking a streak of lightening hit the mountain above them burying under snow and debris.
Legolas was the first one out of the snow he then bent down and pulled out Frodo and the other Hobbits; who then helped pull out Aragorn who was still clutching Aallieah. When they had uncovered the rest of the Fellowship Aragorn noticed that Aallieah had nearly stopped breathing.
"Gandalf," he shouted, "We're losing her."
