Chapter 1: The Ride
The day had started bad, very bad and things just kept on getting worse. I had not got enough sleep the night before, I had woke up with a slight headache and some of the relations had just dropped in with their very annoying kids and worst of all everyone seemed to be in a crappy mood.
Finally! I thought. The house was quiet and my headache was gone and things were starting to look up for me. But this was a paradise short lived. The kids came back in fighting and screaming and of course nagging. "Can I do this? Can I have that?". I felt like screaming. I ran out the door and straight to the paddock.
When I reached the paddock, I saw a sight to beat all others. It was of a big, beautiful, white stallion. Words just cant describe his beauty, and best of all he was all mine. I saddled him up, and we rode off together.
Not very far into my ride, I came across a peculiar man in the middle of one of our paddocks. I rode over to him to see what he was doing and why he was there. As I approached he started to speak. His voice was very melodious and he was courteous and very polite. He introduced himself as Haldir an elf, in the service of lord Celeborn and of the lady Galadriel. I almost scoffed, as if elves are real. Obviously I didn't believe him, elves are that fictional race out of lord of the rings. He asked what the horses name was. I said Asfaloth. He commented on how appropriate and beautiful the name is. After a little while I rode off.
The pace Asfaloth and I were moving at was invigorating. We jumped fences and logs, until we finally reached the forest. We continued in towards the center slowly. It suddenly felt eerie. Like there was eyes upon us, watching us, waiting.
I cautiously looked around, when I suddenly saw a figure of a man on horseback. Or was it a man? I rode away galloping as fast as Asfaloth could take us constantly looking back to see if I had lost him, as he had started to give chase, but alas I wasn't. In fact he was gaining on me. Each time I would turn around he would be that bit closer.
I turned around one last time to see he was right behind us, and coming towards Asfaloth's side. He jumped on Asfaloth's back and took control of the reigns.
