Airesiwe awoke with a jump. It was still pretty dark outside, but not as it was before. She realized that she must have been asleep for more than a couple hours considering the fact that she fell asleep during the day. She yawned, and outstretched her arms.

"Uh..it was the dream again," Airesiwe whispered to herself. She walked outside, and even during the dark, Rivendell was still welcoming. She stepped towards Rivendell's entrance, and passed the fountain. She had a sudden flashback that lasted about a second, and then it was gone. She shivered and walked faster past it. When she came to the entrance, she was surprised to see half of the Fellowship there. Legolas, the Dwarf, Aragorn and Boromir. She walked up to them, wondering why they were here so early.

"Do you think it's enough?" She heard Legolas say. He then turned around and saw Airesiwe. He smiled and motioned his hand ordering Airesiwe to come closer. The men and dwarf turned around as well and welcome Airesiwe silently.

"Do you think it's enough what?" Airesiwe questioned. There were two horses, one brown and one white. The men seemed to be loading supplies on them.

"Just preparing for the journey," the dwarf said half-heartedly. "Don't want to be unprepared for it. We'll need enough food, weapons,..."the dwarf trailed off and mumbled the rest of the sentence. Airesiwe noticed that there weren't enough horses to fit the supplies.

"I could get Firnephel," Airesiwe suggested. She ran to get him but Legolas stopped her.

"We can't afford any more delays," Legolas said sternly. "Firnephel might just be one of them."

Airesiwe was shocked with Legolas's reaction, but not so shocked as to give in to what he said.

"If you cannot use him for your use, at least let me use him for mine." Airesiwe's eyes got cold. Legolas stood back with shock as well, but finally motioned her to get the horse. Airesiwe ran to the dark field and searched for her horse. He was over by a small pond, alone. Airesiwe remembered that all of the horses usually go in for the night and wondered why he was still out. She came over to Firnephel and patted him softly from behind. This startled Firnephel at first, but then realized that it was his owner and relaxed.

"Remember how I said that we should go on an adventure?" Airesiwe said quietly. Firnephel nudged up against her with big brown eyes and seemed to smile with agreement. "Well now's our chance, come on." Airesiwe coaxed him out of the field and led him to the Fellowship.

When she arrived she noticed that all of the Fellowship was there. They were about to leave when Airesiwe jumped on Firnephel's back and rode towards them. Legolas and the dwarf rode the white horse, while Boromir rode the brown one. When Airesiwe arrived most of the Fellowship sighed with relief; Frodo especially.

"Airesiwe do you mind, helping us start the journey by sharing a spot on Firnephel?" Gandalf said politely. This worried Airesiwe, considering the fact the Firnephel was deeply afraid of anyone but her riding him. But she agreed nonetheless. Gandalf mounted one of the dark haired hobbits in front of Airesiwe, and to her surprise, Firnephel did not react. He simply snorted once or twice and started walking. All ten of the Fellowship left Rivendell, and all the time Airesiwe worried. 'Did anyone tell Arwen?' This worry soon passed as they rode out of Rivendell. In the distance, Airesiwe seemed to hear screeching.

The night soon turned into morning, and most of the Fellowship seemed tired. Firnephel showed no signs of it though, and kept walking. Finally, after hours of walking, they came across a wide plain, with large white stones in the middle of it.

"We shall rest here for awhile," Aragorn said panting. The fellowship understood and walked slowly towards the rocks. Airesiwe kept wondering how they could be so tired, but obeyed anyhow. They scattered their supplies around once they got there and decided to eat. Quickly they built a fire and cooked sausages over it. All seemed well for the moment. The two imprudent hobbits were practicing sword fighting with Boromir, while Sam and Frodo watched. Aragorn sat nearby smoking a weed, and Gandalf, the dwarf, and Legolas were discussing which way to go. Finding nothing better to do, Airesiwe wondered about the plain. Suddenly, she spotted something.

"Legolas!" Airesiwe shouted. She looked to the sky and spotted what seemed like a black cloud coming towards them. It was going against the wind, which was very suspicious to Airesiwe. "Legolas, what is that?!" Airesiwe shouted once more.

Legolas ran towards Airesiwe and looked at the sky as well. "Crows," Legolas said slowly. By this time most of the Fellowship was walking over to them to see what was wrong. Gandalf came by Airesiwe andstarted at the sky with another one of his worried expressions. "Spies of Saruman.LET'S MOVE!"

The Fellowship frantically scrambled around the rocks cleaning up what they had left. The horses reared up and neighed in hope of someone to comfort them. Airesiwe grabbed the weapons and scampered under a nearby rock. The crows came at a fast speed and circled the rocks. Luckily, the Fellowship was well hidden. All the time Airesiwe kept saying to herself 'They've spotted us, they've spotted us, they've spotted us!' but no matter what she kept saying to herself, it was no use. The crows circled and circled then finally left. The fellowship wandered out from where they were hiding, but Airesiwe stood still until the crows were out of sight.

"Airesiwe? You can come out now," the blonde hobbit persuaded. Airesiwe came out shaking, but once she saw Frodo, stopped immediately. 'The last thing I need is Frodo thinking I'm a wimp.' Airesiwe thought to herself.

The Fellowship carried on, and by Gandalf's decision, was ordered to take the path over the Caragras Mountains. They created a line: Gandalf in front, then the four hobbits, Airesiwe, Legolas, the dwarf, Aragorn, then Boromir. The more they traveled up the path, the steeper the path got. Before they knew it, they were at the point where they could barely walk. To make matters worse, it started snowing heavily. Airesiwe, not used to this, started falling behind. Soon, she became the last in line. The snow blinded her as she tried hard to catch up, but it was no use. Gradually, she heard frantic shouts, then saw two people chasing something down the mountain. It didn't take long for Airesiwe to realize that the thing they were chasing was Frodo. He was rolling down the mountain! Frantically, Airesiwe ran up to him and stopped his fall. She offered to help him up, but all he did was search for the necklace that carried the ring. He stopped, and looked up with a panic expression on his face. The ring was gone. With the snow blowing in their faces there was surely no hope in finding it. Aragorn and Boromir were ahead and seemed to get the message. Hastily, the men started searching through the snow. Frodo got up and started to search another area when Boromir found it. Aragorn, Frodo, and Airesiwe all looked up with nervousness as Boromir stared at it.

"Odd, how, such a little thing can disrupt Middle earth. It's so small," Boromir chuckled, "So small."

"Give it back." A stern voice erupted from the silence. Everyone turned to look at who said it.

"What did you say?" Boromir said, a little shocked.

"You heard me," Airesiwe said, "Give the ring back to Frodo."

Everyone stood in awe at Airesiwe, but saw it coming. Boromir looked at the ring one last time, then finally stomped through the snow to Frodo. He dropped the ring in Frodo's hang and walked away. Airesiwe couldn't see very well at this point, but she could have sworn she saw Aragorn put his sword back in its scabbard.
