P.O.V. Ariel
We walked down to Elrond's study and he opened the door. Arwen and I sat across from each other and Elrond stood by the fireplace. Gandalf was in a chair much like mine. The room was dim and warm. Gandalf sighed and said, "I shall not waste time on the dancing around the subject at hand. You were brought here because of your parents. I am sorry that I have to tell you this, but you were adopted. Your parents were elves like Elrond and Arwen. Long ago when the Dark Lord made the One Ring, he also created a back up ring. This ring would also try to find it's way to the master, but, only if the first ring was destroyed."
I thought this over and had an idea where this was leading. He went on. " Now, your parents were taken by the dark lord but got free. They also got something. The backup ring. But Sauron was not going to let them get away if he could help it. He sent some people to follow them and retrieve the ring. But luckily your parents got away. Then in Rivendell, they had you. They thought that they were safe but news reached Sauron that they had a child. He went after them again. They ran from Rivendale and kept you with them. But they were not swift enough. The followers caught them and when they found they did not have the ring, they killed them. Sauron was destroyed a month later, but the remaining followers know that someone has the ring and they believe that it can bring back The Dark Lord."
I was stunned and felt so sorry for my parents. They must have been through so much just to get away and save all of us. Elrond placed a hand on my shoulder. " I am sorry that this happened but you should know the end." I sighed and nodded.
" Before your parents were captured they gave you the ring in hopes that when you became old enough, you could destroy it. I met them along the road and they gave you to me, saying to put you in the safest place I could find, and to give you this letter. I did and found a spell that would make you look like a human and to send you to earth. There you were adopted by a family and were raised. You know the rest I believe."
I felt tears prickling at my eyes and I swiped angrily at them. " Where is the letter?" I asked. Gandalf handed me a slightly yellow envelope and I tucked it in to my pocket. " I am sorry that this had to be dropped on you all of the sudden, this shouldn't have happened." Gandalf said sadly.
I nodded mutely and stood. " I think I should head to bed. I want to read my letter in private if possible." Arwen sighed and took my arm. " Yes of course. Come with me." She led me out of the room and we walked silently to my room. " I will come in the morning to show you to breakfast. Good night."
" Thanks, night'." I said. She walked off and I headed to bed.
