Okay, technically speaking this isn't a chapter, it's more a Appendix (hey, they were at the end of the LotR book so why not on mine? In this I'm going to give you a brief description of my original characters just so you don't get confused. I'll even throw in the review responses (the more resent ones are at the bottom of the page). See, aren't I nice?

~*~

Okay, first my semi-original characters. Aka: the ones what live in Middle Earth.

Lyncorath ~ (Meaning - Veiled Light) Lyncorath is the unofficial leader of the female Istari and the third most powerful out of all the Istari. She is currently guiding the hobbits to Rivendell with Strider. He current main aim is to rescue her fellow Istari, Chanilia, who is being held captive by Sauron. ~ Nicknames: Rath

Silvawen ~ (Meaning - Forest Maid) Silvawen is a member of the order of the Istari and is in love with the prince of Mirkwood, Legolas. She is currently on her way to Rivendell for the Council of Elrond and knows nothing about the plight of her sisters. ~ Nicknames: Silva, Sil (jointly owned by Silvawen the Elf Crumpet)

Chanilia ~ (Meaning - Healing Waterfall) A member of the Istari who specialises in healing. She has been captured by the Orcs of Sauron and taken to Mordor where she has been imprisoned and is awaiting exercution. ~ Nicknames: Nilia

Arian ~ (Meaning - Silver Flame) A member of the Istari who lives in Rivendell. She is awaiting the return of her fellow female Istari for the Council. She is the only one of the group, apart from Rath, who knows about Nilia. She spends most of her time worrying about Arwen, who she thinks is to emotional for her own good.

Isauriel ~ (Meaning - Gentle Air) The last female Istari. She lives with the eagles of the Misty Mountains and has little dealings with the people of Middle Earth. As such she is not aware that the One Ring has been found, or of any of the events connected to it. ~ Nicknames: Riel

~*~

Now for the truly original characters.

Dragonissa ~ A weredragon who lives in Andomen, she is what the Dragons call 'the Gatekeeper'. She was chosen from birth to guard the Dragon Gate, the only entrance to the Dragon Dimension, and it is her job to make sure that no one untoward breaks through the gate. Dragonissa has just moved into her first home with her best friends and while working in the garden found a box with four rings in it. She is now suffering from odd dreams. The morning after she has her odd dream her boyfriend Peter came home from a weekend at a bike show. This was also the day when one of her friends were due back, Chrissie. However, she was contacted by someone who claims to be holding her prisoner. This person now wants Nissa to traverse the Pass of the Eternal Scream, whom no one else has been able to overcome. This couldn't come at a worse time for her, since she is starting to lose control of the more primal aspects of her nature, making her snapish and somewhat disorientated.~ Nicknames: Nissa, Nissie, Nis

Blaise ~ A half Siren, half Imp, Blaise has the elemental power of earth as well as telekinesis and telepathy. An outrageous flirt, Blaise sees every male she spots as a potential target. She is also sometimes known as Elfie due to her obsession with elves. Like her house mate Nissa, she is having odd dreams after finding a box of rings in the back garden. ~ Nicknames: Elfie, B (owned by Silvawen the Elf Crumpet, used with full permission)

Freja ~ Half Tenier Fire Elf, half werecat, Freja is now working as a vet. She is very much the sensible one of the group, sorting out other peoples problems, that sort of thing. However, she dose have some problem controlling her fire magic. She to is starting to have strange dreams.

Orchid ~ No ones entirely sure what she is. A complete an utter idiot she merely gets through life by being stunningly beautiful. However, she is a very sweet and gentle person, which makes up for her lack of brain power. Blaise has come to the conclusion that she must have at least one cog turning in her head as she dose occasionally have semi-good ideas.

Chrissie ~ The fifth female house mate, Chrissie is a flying elf with pink wings. A rather violent person Chrissie is non the less a good friend, so long as you don't call her a faerie. While on the way back from visiting her home world and her best friend Ebony she was kidnapped by an unknown person who seems to have something against Nissa. She has just met Rusva, a fellow captive of whoever it was who captured her.

Peter ~ A werewolf and Nissa's boyfriend. Peter is a biker, a guitarist and a computer graphics designer. He is hopelessly in love with Nissa and would do anything to protect her.

Simon ~ Blaise's long suffering boyfriend, Simon is a elf biker. He is slightly overprotective of B and he is also rather shy in a cute way.

Ebony ~ Half faerie/ half pixie, Ebony is Chrissie's best friend and is rather like Blaise. She is currently enjoying her job on a sex line.

Rusva ~ A prisioner like Chrissie, Rusva is more than he appears. He has the appearnec of an orc but he has magical abilities and seems to be educated. A melancoly character, he is trying to befriend Chrissie.

Review responses to all you lovely reviewers you.

Updated for 7/9/2003

Many thanks to my loyal readers and friends Chrissie and Silva (bows) I am not worthy of your friendship. ^__^ *raises one eyebrow* I think I'll ignore that little outburst, Sil, if it makes you feel better, Peter is sometimes discribed as Nissa's long suffering boyfriend.

Kanna - (bows) I am to please.

Enednilwen - (laughs) I'll have to keep an eye out for that book, it may come in useful. I knew some of the elvish I was using wasn't correct to Tolkien's but I theorised that in the hundreds of years between the Middle Earth and Andomen parts of the story the language would have changed. After all, we're not speaking the same 'language' as people in the middle ages, eh?

(laughs again) And don't worry about any unexpected visitors, I've warned the Witch King off. (glares at the sullen wraith who is swathed in bandages)

Mojo - *grins* A short review is better then no review mate.
