Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings. But I do own this quest! And some of the lands the Fellowship visits.

Frodo sat on the doorstep of Bag End staring at the ground. Anyone who passed by could tell he was upset about something. Frodo heaved a sigh. It had been two months since he had returned to The Shire, and he was bored! He heaved another sigh. He missed the action, the adventure. He even missed the danger! But most of all he missed the Fellowship.

Ah yes, The Fellowship. There were no finer people to travel with. He missed the sound of Aragorn sharpening Anduril, he missed Gimli's usual grumbling, and he missed the soft swish of feathers, as Legolas would sit by the fire making arrows.

Frodo heaved another sigh as Rosie Gamgee passed by. She waved at him as she passed. He noticed the slight bulge that was her stomach was getting bigger day by day. He jumped when a hand was laid on his shoulder. Frodo whirled around and found himself staring into the chocolate brown eyes of none other than Samwise Gamgee. Frodo smiled gently.

"Hey Sam." He said.

Sam smiled and sat down next to him.

"What's wrong Mr. Frodo? You seem sad" Sam said

"I miss the Fellowship Sam" Frodo replied.

Sam through his arms around Frodo and hugged him. Frodo smiled.

"Thanks Sam" He said, " I needed that."

The loud cry of a horse caught their attention. There was shouting coming from a nearby plaza. Frodo and Sam got up and went to find out what was going on. Several frightened hobbits were gathered near around a tall- cloaked figure that sat on the back of a large chestnut colored stallion. The stallion had reared back on its hind legs and pawed the air as the rider shouted something.

"I'm looking for a Frodo Baggins!" the figure shouted

Frodo and Sam stepped out of the crowd and approached the Man.

"I-I am Frodo Baggins" Frodo stuttered.

The horse lowered to the ground and the Man leapt down. He reached up and removed his hood. Frodo and Sam gasped. They knew that dark hair and those storm gray eyes anywhere.

"Aragorn!" The cried in unison and ran to him.

Aragorn knelt and hugged them both in greeting. Merry and Pippin ran forward and greeted Aragorn in their usual overly happy way. Frodo smiled and looked up at Aragorn as the Man stood up.

"What brings you to The Shire?" He asked

"Horrible news I'm afraid. Elrond sent me. I am to take the four of you to Rivendell." Aragorn said

"Why?" Sam asked

"You will know as soon as we reach Rivendell. Elrond has forbidden me to tell you." Aragorn said. " We must leave as soon as you are ready. We must not waste time. The rest of the Fellowship awaits us!"

~~*

Many miles away two horses sped towards Rivendell. Both horses carried a rider. One dressed in a pale gray cloak was about the height of a hobbit. Her hood was down allowing her waist length chestnut brown hair to flow freely behind her. Her sharp emerald eyes scanned the area around her.

Nearby the other figure rode with the hood of her midnight black cloak up. A few stands of silvery hair escaped from the hood and blew about in the wind.

The horses they rode were something to look at as well. These weren't actually horses. They were in fact Mehemuths. The short young woman rode on the back of a pale blue and green mare while her companion rode a large black and blood red mare. They charged across the plains at a speed that would have left elven stallions in the dust.

As they drew nearer to Rivendell, nine riders swathed in black cloth began to materialize around them. The two young women looked around them. The woman clothed in black growled and spurred her Mehemuth faster.

"Alanis wait for me!" the other woman cried

"I cannot Cerridwyn we must hurry" Alanis responded "We should reach Rivendell in a matter of minutes. I can already see the trees!"

Cerridwyn spurred her Mehemuth faster.

"Be strong Saris." She crooned.

The Mehemuth whinnied in response. The two women managed to stay ahead of the Nazgul but the black riders were beginning to gain on them.

The Mehemuths suddenly charged into the Rivendell forest and straight up the palace steps, through the front doors and skidded to a halt in the entrance hall. Elrond and Arwen came charging down the stairs, both of them sending blasts of elven magic at the Nazgul. The black riders turned tail and fled under the magical onslaught.

Cerridwyn leapt off her horse and ran towards Arwen, who bent and encased Cerridwyn in a hug. Alanis turned and looked at Arwen and Elrond, her face still hidden in her hood.

"Do you have it?" Elrond asked

Alanis nodded and drew a chain out from under her cloak. A gold ring hung from this chain. She tossed the ring and chain to Elrond. He caught it and pulled a small silver box from within his robe. He placed the ring inside this box then looked up at Alanis.

"Protect Cerridwyn" Alanis said.

"Are you off to find Aragorn and the Hobbits?" Arwen asked

Alanis nodded.

"They should be in Bree very soon" Elrond said.

Alanis nodded and turned to Mehemuth towards the forest outside.

~Like the wind Hira~ She muttered to the Mehemuth.

Hira took off into the forest with incredible speed towards Bree.



Ok not a good beginning but trust me it gets a lot better. Please review I need to know if I should continue.
