Disclaimer-Yeah I still do not own any of the original characters. I wish I did but I don't… *sighs* but I do own Ariel, and anyone else who I make up. I am also going to have the P.O.V. change slightly when I want them to. I want to make sure you all get the whole idea of the story…
~*~*~*~*Chapter 1~*~*~*~
"Will she awaken soon?" a male voice asked. Another voice answered him and the door closed with a bang. I groaned and opened my eyes. I was in a dimly lit room, in an intricately carved cherry bed. A face appeared in front of me. He had brown hair, which was tied back in a half ponytail. His face showed wisdom and he had a sparkle in his eyes.
"How are you child?" he asked gently. I sat up and said, " Fine I believe, but where am I?" The man surveyed me. " You are in the kingdom of Rivendell, and I am Lord Elrond." I tried to remember where I had heard the name.
"L-Lord Elrond?" I stammered. 'Yeah right. That is impossible. That is only in J.R.R. Tolkiens story.' But as I looked around I realized that I might not be right. I looked up into Lord Elronds eyes and said, " Um. How'd I get here?"
" My daughter brought you here after you fainted. Where are you from? You have strange clothes and an odd accent." He sat in a chair and watched me. 'Should I tell him the truth or will they just think I am crazy?'
"I am from-" but I was cut off as the door flew open and a tall man in white robes and a long beard swooped in. "Gandalf!" I cried in surprise. Both of the men looked at me in surprise. Gandalf smiled suddenly and leaned on his staff.
"Ah. I was informed by Arwen that there was a strange girl in here and that Elrond was with her. Apparently she was not wrong. What is your name?" I threw off the covers and sat cross-legged on the bed.
"My name's Ariel. And I have no idea how the heck I got here." I stated. Both men stared at me, amazed that a woman would use such language even if it was mild. Gandalf was the first to nod. "Well we have been expecting you, Ariel. Why don't you take a bath and join us at dinner to explain what happened, and I will tell you what I know."
I smiled in relief. A bath sounded wonderful. I nodded and the men let in the woman who I had met on the road. 'Arwen Evenstar.' I remembered. The men bowed to both of us and I made a poor excuse of a bow back, while I was sitting down. Arwen closed the door and smiled at me. " Well it is good to see you up and about. Would you like a bath?"
I grinned and stood. " Thank you – Lady Arwen I appreciate it." I took a step- and fell flat on my face. I picked myself up and glared at Arwen who was laughing. " Don't say a word. Not a word." I warned. This only made her laugh harder.
Ok- well that is the end of chapter 1. Yea 4 me!! As always, read and review. Thanks, ~*Crimson Angel*~
