Chapter #1 "Meetings"~~~~~~~~~~
Elrond and his fellow travelers who had been dropped onto a boat in the middle of the ocean, disembarked, onto a pier. To his surprise there where elves and other beings waiting for them, one of the Elves was most surprising to see, a fair elf, with long blond tresses and sapphire blue eyes, her face lit up when she saw him. "Elrond, my love!" she said walking up to him, "Celebrian?" Elrond said shocked, they shared in a long embrace, before breaking the hold, she looked upon her three children with bright eyes, "My dears how I've missed you so" she said as she hugged them all. She looked past her children to see Galadriel and Celeborn, and a number of beings from Middle-Earth. "Mother, Father she said, as they came closer, Galadriel smiled in greeting and Celeborn smiled as well.
Celebrian turned her attention back to Elrond, and said "I have a surprise for you" Elrond cocked an eyebrow, as she led them to a caravan of white horses, "The Lady Princess Elentari allowed me use of her very best horses, to carry you back to Taniquetil" Celebrian said mounting a horse, as the rest followed suit. They road off exchanging questions and answers, the swift horses bore them quickly to their destination, the great and beautiful city rose before them like a title wave, "This is the city of Taniquetil, where the High Lord, Manwe Sulimo, and Lady, Varda Elentari, of Valinor dwell" Celebrian said as she dismounted and let the stable-boy take her horse, the rest did this as well, they followed Celebrian up the stairs to a great hall, the afore mentioned rulers sat at the end of a long silver rug, they where both light and fair of skin and tall in stature, and bore in appearance the look of the elves.
The Lord was regal and handsome, long golden hair adorned his head, atop it was a golden crown, pale pointed ears perked from below his crown and gold eyes peeked from beneath golden eyebrows, the Lady was also regal, slim and beautiful, easily defeating the beauty of Arwen Evenstar and Galadriel, contrary to her lord, long Silver hair adorned her head, atop it was a silver crown, pale pointed ears also adorned her features, and silver eyes peeked from beneath thin silver brows. Both the Lord and Lady were donned with great silver and gold wings, which were folded on their backs. All eyes turned on the visitors as they entered.
The gaze of the ruling Valar was intense and yet soft, as they walked up to them, the Lord looked on them with ancient eyes, then smiled and stood, saying, "Welcome to Valinor, Lords and Ladies of Middle-Earth, and to our mortal guests" his voice was like the chiming of bells over a frozen pond. The Hobbits, trying to hide behind Gandalf, caught the eye of the Lady and she tilted her head sideways slightly to see them, she smiled at their innocence, then she said, in a silvery voice, "And a special welcome goes to Olorin" she said bowing her head to Gandalf, but then her Lord said, leaning towards her "Lest us not forget my queen, Olorin did not stop Curumo from turning and giving Melkor more power" the Lord said glaring at Gandalf who bowed his head in shame. "Please retire to the Gardens, while rooms are prepared for you" The Lady said.
The visitors bowed and walked with a guide to the gardens. "You needn't be so hard on him, dear husband," Varda said as soon as their guests left. "Yes, I need be, my Lady wife, he did not perform his duty and report his teacher to us soon enough and now look where we are, battling Melkor, who only wishes to hurt you and our daughter, to hurt me, I still wish you and Elentari would go and stay with Ulmo until this war is settled." He said kneeling before her and taking her hand in his, "Nay, my Lord, my place is here with you," she said holding his chin with her small hands, "I could order you" he said, smiling, "I would not obey, and you know our daughter does not answer to orders" she said smiling back, he kissed her gently and then stood, and said "Where is Elentari?" "I know not, dear husband" Varda said also standing, "Perhaps she is in the gardens with Vanyakalina, those two are inseparable these days" he then smiled and said "Even though Elentari is an infinite number of years elder to Vanyakalina, she still seems to be interested in the young Elf", "Yes, let us let them be, happiness for our daughter is always short lived, she needs this", "I agree my Queen" he said taking her arm in his and walking down the hall.

For those of you not familiar with Tolkien's Valar, "Curumo" is Sarumons' true name and "Olorin" is Gandalfs'.
The High King and Queen of Arda, and the most powerful of the Aratar are Manwe Sulimo and Varda Elentari.
If you noticed I took each of their names and created Elentari Manwe, but she will appear in the second chapter, she is also copyrighted, so if you wish to use her please, give me credit for creating her, thank you.

It is never said anywhere what the Valar look like, but that they took the form of Iluvatars' children, in all my stories they take the forms of Pure-Elves. But the wings spoken of are a trait that all the Vala have. They can make them disappear from time to time but they are gifted with them.
Commenting on the Horses, The Lady Elentari raised the horses as her friends they are wonderfully trained and are strong and nimble.

Pure-Elves: Pure-Elves are the most beautiful and ethereal of all the Elves, they were the ones of the Elves that first came to Valinor. 'The first of the Elves to make the great march westwards from Cuiviénen to Valinor, and accounted the highest of the High Elves. Their leader, Ingwë, bears the title High King of the Elves, and dwells on Taniquetil beneath the halls of Manwë. All of the Vanyar journeyed to Valinor long before the beginning of the First Age, and remained there. For this reason, they are not mentioned often in the histories of Middle-earth.' (TEOA: An interactive guide to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien) Pure-Elves are also called, Fair Elves, Light-Elves, and Vanyar.
