Chapter 1- Welcome

I sighed in relief as we cantered through the beautiful wooden gates of Rivendell.  It had been a wet journey though mud and marshes, but thank Valar had only taken ten days.  We were here because of the Ring of Power.  It had been found at last, and the Council was meeting to discuss its fate.  Of course, no one knew that I knew that.  They had tried to keep it a secret, but nothing escapes the ears of me, Nilseregwen Silverstar, Princess of Lothlorien.  I was a Princess of Rivendell before I was married off to Prince Christoper Whitestar.  Come to think of it, I was also named Silverqueen by the silver elves.

"Hail!" shouted a herald.  "Hail Lord Christoper and Lady Nilseregwen Silverqueen!"

"Well met," responded Elrond as he emerged from his palace.  "Well met Christoper and Nilseregwen.

"Thank you," I responded as Chris glared at me.  "My lord, friend of my friend, foe of my foe, warrior captain."

"Welcome to my dwelling," responded Elrond with a smile as he led us inside.  "Long journey?"

"It has been too long," Chris quickly injected.

"Follow me," Elrond said as he started up the hill.  I hurried after him, with Chris just a step behind me.  Whatever they were planning to do with the One Ring, I'd find out!
