"Good morning" I mumbled sleepily to Miste without opening my eyes. I breathed softly into the cool morning air and opened one of my eyes. Staring right down at me was the ugliest creature I had ever seen. I had seemed to have woken it up so it was just as sleepy as me. It lifted what looked like a mix of an axe, sword, and spear. "Ok hold on what is going on... ohhhhhh I get it that's an orc and it seems intent on hurting me." With that I turned around and run as fast as possible in my drowsy state. Unfortunately the orc was waking up faster and was quickly gaining on me. It chased me right through an orc camp and many more orcs joined the hunt.. Laure hunting the new sport.

We quickly had run another circle through the forest and they were almost beside me when an arrow zoomed past my head. I stumbled and saw a dead orc body fall with a blue shafted and green feathered arrow sticking out of its head. With that I collapsed and fainted from exhaustion I woke up to a voice muttering something I looked up fearing more orcs but instead of an orc a blonde head with dark blue eyes peered down at me. It was an elf, a female elf. I struggled to get up but was pushed down and instead had some bread put into my mouth. "Eat it." She ordered in a stern yet soft voice. I willingly did and was instantly refreshed. I was then allowed to sit up and look around.

I was deep in a forest with the most beautiful trees I had ever seen. It was about 10 in the morning and the sky was a clear blue. Marring the scene however was about 20 orc bodies all piled in a corner a few elves were carrying wood over to it. "What's your name?" I asked the elf "Alkarant" she replied in the same voice. "Melwin." She called "She is awake."

"Get her a horse and return to Imaldiris. Bring her to Lord Elrond he'll know what to do." An older male elf replied. He had dark brown hair and blue eyes.

"Should I bind her hands in case she's a servant of the enemy?"

"No Elrond said we might find someone out here and that she was to be treated with great respect."

Alkarant looked at me oddly then and I decided that I was probably not that respectable looking. I was wearing completely black sweat-pants and sweat- shirt, sneakers and my hair was up in a very messy ponytail. She went for a moment to talk with another elf leaving me with my thoughts. I decided to fix at least my ponytail to make me look a little less freakish. My hands casually passed over my ears and touched the tips. They were pointed. I froze for 30 seconds and then screamed a long, loud scream causing all the elves in the camp to cover their ears in agony, but I didn't care I was an elf!!!!!

I then was silent lost in thought until Alkarant came back. I smiled weakly and followed her over to where a horse was being held by yet another elf. "This is Naransolo you will ride him to Imaldiris with me." I looked up and standing in front of me was the most gorgeous horse I had ever seen. It was a coal black stallion with black eyes, a long flowing black mane and tail, perfect conformation and an air of nobility about him. I could tell we would not get along at all. I didn't say anything however as Alkarant didn't look to happy with having to take me to Rivendell. "Thank you" I mumbled then quickly mounted. I had, had some riding lessons before back on earth and had previously owned a horse but the two of us had clashed horribly resulting in me learning many ways of quickly exiting the saddle. 'Oh joy' I thought to myself 'Must remember the cockroach technique of getting off.' Five minutes later I was off of the saddle playing dead in the middle of the road as Naransolo looked down at me disdainfully. 'How did I know?'
