Joelle opened her eyes to the crystal blue of a river, she gasped and inhaled water her only thought was reach the surface, come on Joelle you can do it. She swam but she did not know up from down, suddenly she felt something pushing on her back. The thing pushed her until she was on the muddy bank of the river.
Joelle sputtered and coughed. She felt the thing on her knee and she looked down to see a river otter. She reached over to it and petted it thanking it.
Joelle lay back and closed her eyes. She jumped slightly when she felt a touch on her shoulder. She got up and spun facing her opponent in a fighting stance in a fluid movement.
The man looked surprised to say the least. He bowed slightly and looked her in the eye. "I do not wish to fight you, lady. Only help you" he said. She relaxed visibly and looked him over. He wore a tunic of different shades of green, and brown breeches. "Who are you?" she asked. " I am Legolas, son or Thrandil, Prince of the Mirkwood realm, an elf"
Joelle jumped slightly "Legolas, b..but, that's impossible" She stammered she looked at his ears to see that they were pointed slightly. She took a step forward but her knee gave way and she fell, but Legolas caught her an inch from the ground "Thank you" she murmured , she knew she was going to faint from the blackness eating at the corner of her eyes, she closed her eyes and let herself faint.

"...not from this world?" Joelle woke to voices murmuring a little bit away from her "No, Legolas I do not believe she is from this world" said a voice she did not know. "How is that possible?" asked Legolas "I do not know" said the other, she knew it was an elf from the melodic tune in it's voice, "We should ask her where she hails from is we are to figure out this mystery" said an wise but elderly voice.
Joelle decided that she had better do something to let them know she was there so she started coughing and sat up. Legolas was the first to run over to the bed. Joelle stopped coughing and smiled. "Quel amrun, it is nice to see you awake" Legolas said smiling warmly at her. "It's nice to be awake!" Joelle replied.
At this, a tall, black-haired elf walked over "Vedui, little one, I am Elrond, lord of Rivendell, welcome to my home." With the Elrond came an elderly man "Hello, I am Gandalf"
"Oh my god!" said Joelle "this can not be happening, I am not in a JRR Tolkien book." All of the three looked confused and bewildered, after a few minutes of silence Elrond spoke up "No, you are not in a book, but in Middle-Earth. Joelle decided to shut up and enjoy her stay in Middle-Earth. "Oh.ok, err.could one of you show me around?" Legolas's eyes lit up in merriment and said "I would be glad to accompany you um." "Joelle" provided Joelle
