A/N- thank you sooo much 4 all the nice reviews! Even though they don't
matter, lol. This chapter may b kinda short, but its all i got 4 now, my
inspiration kinda ran dry...some 1 told me this wus a sue b/c she is
Elrond's daughter...but if i jsut had her as another Elf, then i'd b
criticized b/c i have no connection w/ LOTR. also, her being a 'princess'
defines the reason that her father doesn't want Me'adal acting so much like
a male. and btw, breeches are NOT classified as male clothing! gurls kan
wear them 2! my good friend lindsay kan tell u that! & I don't think it
wuld b very easy 2 ride English in a dress! :P

Only the passing shadow signified that a great owl passed overhead. The sky was dark, lit only by the millions of stars and bright moon. But it was enough to feed the fear that was within Me'adal. It didn't show anywhere on her face, but inside, she was afraid. This was the first time she had been out in the dark without anyone. Usually she was accompanied by one of her brothers.
She was still close to Rivendell, heading for where she believed the orcs to have gone. She finally found it, though it wasn't hard to miss. The shredded and torn underbrush and muddy path of destruction was enough to signify their passing. *Always destroying needlessly, yet even this does not slow them down.* she thought to herself.
She began to run along the path that they had carelessly left for her. It began heading east, but soon began to bend toward the south. Soon, she noticed that the Misty Mountains were getting bigger off to her left. When the sun was beginning to rise, the footprints began to get closer together, signifying that they were slowing down. They then turned and went up to a cave, the mouth of which was nearly hidden in a tangle of long grasses. It soon, though, returned to its path, heading in the same direction.
*They must have stopped here yesterday morning, to wait until the sun went down. I'll rest here a while, then resume later, so I can have a few hours' head start.*
It was about ten o' clock when she began tracking them again. It was about noon when a noise ahead of her caused her to slow down. It was not orcs, however.
"If anyone was to ask for MY opinion, which I note they're not, I'd say we were taking the long way around!!" a dwarvish voice exclaimed.
"No, Gimli, I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice." said a voice that was obviously Mithrandir.
She followed the tracks around a large rock, and was face-to-face with the group she had seen earlier, being addressed by her father. She stopped, surprised that she should meet up with them in the wilderness. The Gondorian noticed her right away, and he made it clear.
"What are you doing here?" he asked forcefully.
"Me'adal, mani lle uned sinome? Elrond nyared lle a' erin e' Imladris." Aragorn said sternly. *Me'adal, what are you doing here? Elrond had told you to remain in Rivendell.*
"He has no idea I am here. I left unknowing to him, for I shall not remain dormant in Rivendell while all the horses of Rivendell are in the hands of those hideous monsters." she replied.
He was about to reply when Legolas yelled to them that the Crebain were approching. Aragorn changed his mind from what he was originally going to say, telling everyone to hide. They did, and once the screeching black birds had flown past, they left their hiding once again.
"Me'adal, perhaps you should head back to Rivendell. I-" Gandalf began to say.
"No, I am continuing on in search of Sulfea. I am NOT stopping until I have found him." she said, and walked off, returning to the trail of orc prints.
For the next few weeks, the prints lead her farther and farther south. She was beginning to wonder where they would lead her when she climbed up a small, stony hill and that answered her question. A large lake stood in front of her, and the path, difficult to see in the shallow dirt, lead around it, to where two large trees stood.
"Oh, I'm never going to get in there! I don't even know the password, let alone how to find the gates!" she said. *Perhaps I should head to Lothlorien. Grandmother may know, she knows more of their ways than I.* she thought, and walked decisively off toward her new destination.

A/N- Don't ask me how she gets of Caradharas, because I don't know. That part isn't relevant to the story, and I'm just trying to get the point across. No cliffie, at least I don't think. But, what will happen when she gets to Lorien? This is a very important point in the story, or so I think. I changed a few things Lindsay, so she didn't join the Fellowship. It wulda been a sue. newayz, thisll make the story longer. okees? read TalkoftheTown4eva and HermioneAngel's stories.
**btw, Elrond's wife is...Celebrian, I think? neway, she is Galadriel's daughter, in case ne 1 didn't know that. so, that makes Galadriel Me'adal's grandmother. i have the descent charts 2 prove it! they r in the Silmarrilion. ^_^ bibi!!
