::Chapter V: Leaving Rivendell ,and Going South ::

The sun hasn't risen yet. Darkness crept around Rivendell. Tari was nowhere to be found.

She was lingering in a tree; it was not far from Elrond's study. Tari began to hear voices being raised. It seemed to be Aragorn, and Elrond speaking...

"I will not let her go!" Elrond yelled.

"Alatariel's skills will be useful. " Aragorn replied.

"She is my daughter, and I decide where she is going!"

"She is not a young elf anymore."

"When I last checked Elrond was Alatariel's father not Aragorn." Elrond answered.

" That is one of many reasons why she left." Aragorn replied.

"I will not let you take her, you already have one of daughters." Elrond said.

"How can you say that?" Asked Aragorn.

Tari now heard footsteps, and a door slamming.

'I did not think he cared.' Tari thought.

Tari climbed down from the tree, and jumped into Elrond's window.

Elrond looked surprised, "What have you heard?"

"I have heard enough." Tari replied.

"You are my responsibility. I do not want to see you harmed."

"Atar. I made a promise to Frodo with my life. I promised I would not let anyone harm him. "

"Ah, yes. The single of strand of hope, that you will come back alive. " Elrond answered.

"Why are you saying this?" Tari questioned.

"I am just speaking the truth." Elrond responded.
Tari looked at her father with hurt look in her eyes.

"Amin hiraetha." ::I am sorry::

"You speak the truth father, but I will come back." Tari said.

***

Tari and Elrond talked until the sun had risen. They were about to join everyone for breakfast, when Tari heard a group of elves yelling.

"Who are they father?" Tari asked.

"They are the scouts I sent. I did not except them to return so soon." Elrond replied.

Tari stuck her head out the window. She saw Legolas running to the injured elves.

"Legolas!" Tari called.

His head turned towards her.

"What has happened?" Tari questioned him.

"The black riders are near." He replied.

"How long do we have?" Tari asked.

"They are close. Gather your things!" He yelled.

Tari turned around, and ran out of the room. She continued to run, she accidentally ran into Pippin, and Merry.

"What is wrong, Tari?" Merry asked.

"The Black riders are coming. Gather your possessions." Tari commanded.

"Should we tell the others?" Merry questioned.

Tari nodded," I will see you two soon."

With that Tari ran into her room, and gathered her things. She managed to put three tunics into her bag, along with spare leggings. Tari grabbed her bow, and quiver. She put two daggers into her boots, another in her belt, and one in her quiver. (A/N: She sure is prepared.) She braided two strands of her hair, and they were pulled back.

Tari ran out of her room, and ran outside. Eventually everyone was there. Elrond's eyes were filled with sorrow and grief. He did not want to his daughter. Arwen was not happy either. She was losing her beloved, and her only sister.

*~ Father I shall miss you. ~*

*~ I will miss you do, iell~*

Tari did something no one expected she ran up to Elrond, and hugged him. She didn't want to leave her father's embrace, but she had to. The most surprised person was Elrond; She hasn't given him a hug since she was little.

She did not say a word to Arwen.

*~Namaarie muinthel~* ::Farwell sister::

*~Will you promise to look after, Aragorn? ~*

*~ He will not die. I promise. ~*

***

The company was off.

No one spoke for quite a while. Tari tried to make conversation with Pippin, but all he talked about was the Shire, and food.

Finally they had stopped, Tari didn't need a break so could go on for hours without stopping, and the same with Legolas..

Gandalf was sitting on a rock smoking, and Aragorn was doing the same. Legolas was looking out for something. Boromir was teaching Pippin how to fight, and Merry was advising him. Tari was sitting right next to Aragorn watching the hobbit learning.

"We must hold this course west of the Misty Mountains for forty days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us. From there, our road turns east, to Mordor." Gandalf responded.

"...Three, four, five. Good, very good..." Said Boromir.

"Pippin keep your arm higher." Requested Tari.

"Move your feet!" Aragorn commanded.

"That's good Pippin."

"Thanks."

"If anyone were to ask my opinion, which I note they're not, I would say we were taking the long way round.
Gandalf, we could pass through the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome." Gimli said.

"No, Gimli, I would not take the road through Moria unless I had no other choice." Replied Gandalf.

"Ow!" Cried Merry as Boromir accidentally hit Merry.

"Sorry." Boromir said.
Merry kicks him in the leg. Merry and Pippin start beating up Boromir yelling stuff like "For the shire!"

Tari and Aragorn have a smile from ear to ear. Tari turns her head to see Legolas looking at something from the south. She gets up, and sees something moving closer.

"What is that?" Asks Sam.
"Nothing. It's just a wisp of cloud." Gimli replied.
"It's moving fast, and against the wind." Responded Boromir.

"Spies." Tari whispered.

"Crebain, from Dunland!" Yelled Legolas.

"Hide!" Screamed Aragorn.

Tari grabs her sword, and was dragged to a hiding spot. She quickly jerks her head to see Legolas close to her.

Tari whispers," Move."

Legolas moves back a little. Tari looked into his eyes and saw pain.

'Why is she pushing me away?' Legolas asked himself.

The birds' pass, and everyone comes out of their hiding spots.

"Spies of Saruman! The passage south is being watched. We must take the Pass of Caradhras." Said Gandalf.
