Hello! Vedui'! Salvete! Buenos Dias! Guten Tag! Bonjour! Prologue to Forever and a Day, so R&R! Should we continue? And please, NO flames, you hear? Nada! Zip! Zilch! This is our first ficy!

Disclaimer: Mika and René are ours! Not yours, ours! Remember That!

Time dwindles,

Darkness falls,

Elements are ruled.

The Fellowship is broken,

Demons run unchecked.

That which once was great,

Is soon about to fall.

Then comes the two from Fairy,

Two Goddesses reborn.

Once was banished, now return!

Release Earth from its bonds.

Goddess of War, Wisdom, and Power.

Goddess of Love, Beauty, and People.

Two Goddesses so different,

Bound in the strangest ways.

The carrier to power is soon about to break,

Love lives crumble, new mates found.

And when the High Ones come to pass,

Middle Earth will finally free them.

-Prophet Jecht Kinkiom of the Greenleaf Clan

"Now Remember, Class, a noun is a person, place, thing, or idea"

In the back row, Mika Kiret, a girl of six feet in height and cropped black hair, let her head fall forward with a thump that resounded through the small room, ending in snickers from every direction. A hiss of "Mika!" escaped from the front, coming from René Kiret, a tall girl with long, wavy blonde hair. A balled up sheet of paper sailed through the air, hitting René on the back of her neck.

"Ow! She whispered, shooting a glare in the direction that the offending paper ball came from.

Mika just shrugged and grinned, motioning to the shorter girl beside her, a quiet one who never spoke in class. The other girl took no notice, staring up at the clock and muttering under her breath. Mika could just catch what she was saying, understanding instantly.

"10... 9..."

René smoothed out the sheet of paper, reading what was written.

"Remember, a noun is a person place or thing" God, this teacher doesn't know the difference between a 10th grader and a 3rd grader...How stupid can you Get?

Tell me about it. Does she think we're retards?

Probably. Thank god this is the last day we have her. Ever.

Look! 15 seconds till 7th period's out!

Thank the lord.

"Ok, class, Remember, summer homework is"—DING! All of a sudden there seemed to have been an explosion in the silent room. Chairs were knocked over, people shoved into, and a few people ran into the wall in the mad rush to leave school and start the summer. People were shouting their farewells, adding to the normal din around the lockers. Doors slammed shut, emptied of the last note and picture. René shoved her books into her bag, along with pictures of friends, her boyfriend, Deneb, and the occasional one of some fellowship member. She cradled The Silmarillion close to her chest as she moved through the mob to find Mika, her twin sister.

Mika kicked her locker shut, tossing her few things into her bag, including stickers that said things like Normal people scare me and I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't stick my head that far up  my ass.  "Oh I'm going to have the best summer," She said to a group of friends, "I get to stay at home with my cheerleading sister while my parents are in Cuba." Too soon there was a familiar tap on her shoulder.

"Come on Mika, we have to get home soon or Mom'll be pissed." René said in an almost nagging tone.

"Guys, I have to go, though I'd rather not. Have a better summer than I ever will" Mika sighed as she turned to her sister. "Why do you always insist on getting me? I'm just as old as you are; I can walk home by myself."

"Mika, I'd actually rather go by myself, but you know how Mom gets when we aren't together. She totally flips out."

"I know That." she replied. "Let's go." The two girls walked out the door together, bickering. About five minutes later, they stopped abruptly.

"Something doesn't feel right," René said nervously.

"For once, you're right." Mika said, "Though I hate admitting it." The two girls walked carefully on when suddenly they tripped simultaneously, whirling through color, light, and then darkness. René tried to scream, but the sound wouldn't come out. Half a second later, they slammed onto cold stone, and saw arrows flying over them.

A/N: So you like it? Suspenseful enough? Please, please, please R&R *pouts puppy dog style then turns evil* Or I'll send a wraith after ya.
