Part 9

~~

It was a foggy morning when everyone got up to leave Lothlorien. They were by a river that had three boats in it that they were going to use to go sown the river.

"Never before have we clad strangers in Elvin clothing," said Celeborn, "May they keep unfriendly eyes from seeing you."

Elves then put the cloaks onto the Fellowship clasping them together with green silver-veined leaf-brooches.

Then Galadriel gave each person a gift. When she finished talking with everyone else she stood in front of Buffy.

"What greater gift can I give to you than you returning to your rightful place?" Asked Galadriel.

Buffy smiled slightly, "There is no greater gift than finding out what I truly am and where I really belong."

Galadriel hugged Buffy and kissed her lightly on the forehead. Then Celeborn came with a bow very much like the one Galadriel gave Legolas and an elegant sword with unique Elvin carvings on the hilt of the sword.

"We have been waiting to give these to the right warrior in our family," said Celeborn, "We thought that it would be best to let you have the possession of our family weapons. We hope that they will do you great service against Saurons forces."

Buffy accepted the weapons with tears in her eyes. The Fellowship was finally getting ready to leave, and Galadriel and Celeborn waved them off.

~~

They were rowing for a while when Buffy finally said, "We are being followed."

"I know," said Aragorn, "It is Gollum. Celeborn warned me before we left."

Buffy frowned, but didn't say anything else.

They came across two very impressive statues with both of their left hands stretched out in front of them.

"Wow," Buffy said.

Aragorn smiles, "It is the Argonath. This is where my kin is."

Everyone looks up in awe at the statues.

The Fellowship starts to make a camp at a small clearing by a waterfall.

"We will cross the lake at nightfall. Hide the boats and continue on foot. We will approach Mordor from the north," said Aragorn.

"Oh yes?!" exclaimed Gimli, "It's just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn Muil? An impassable labryinth of razor sharp rocks! And after that, it get's even better!"

Pippin looks up alarmed.

"Festering, stinking marshlands, far as the eye can see!"

"That is our road," said Aragorn pointedly, "I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength Master Dwarf."

Gimli growls in response.

While Buffy was amused at the banter that the Dwarf was getting, she still had a very bad feeling about this.

"We should leave now," Legolas said.

"I agree," said Buffy, "I don't know what it is, but I have a very bad feeling right now. Something bad is coming and we shouldn't stay."

"I have this same feeling. We should leave."

"No. Orcs are patrolling the eastern shore. We should wait until nightfall," said Aragorn.

Buffy sighed in frustration, growing even more agitated.

~~

Everyone was finally getting settled when Sam noticed that someone was missing.

"Does anyone know where Frodo is?" He asked.

Buffy looked around, and didn't find the hobbit anywhere.

"I'll Try to find him," she said, anxious to do something other than doing nothing for the time being.

Everyone agreed, though Legolas hesitated a bit before agreeing.

She went into the forest and started to look for Frodo. She saw Boromir picking up some wood, and asked, "Have you seen Frodo?"

"No I haven't, is he missing?" he asked.

"Yea, he walked off a while ago. I just thought that you might have seen him."

"I'll keep my eyes open for him."

With that said Buffy continued to look for Frodo.

She stopped when she felt her spider-senses tingle. Then all of a sudden black clouds started forming and lightning started flashing.

Buffy looked around frantically, her senses going haywire on her. She then saw a portal like the one that Glory opened.

*Not again*, she though.

She then saw a person fly out from the portal, landing with a thump.

She winced, *that had gotta hurt*.

The person groaned and said, "Next time I see that warlock, I am going to beat the crap out of him."

Buffy's eyes widened when she heard the voice. "FAITH?!"

~~

I know I said that I wouldn't have another person from either Buffy or Angel but I just couldn't help myself =). I was suffering from a major writers block and I though 'forget it I am bringing someone in so that I can have something else to work with.' And again I am really sorry for the long update! I am still suffering from a mild writers block, but not as much as before. I would really appreciate some suggestions!
