Chapter 9
FINALLY!! Answers!!
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////
The darkness was swirling round and round, enclosing her in its deathlike grip, impairing her ability to breathe. She was suffocating; suffocating because of the Black Hole that had entered her mind and cut off the outside world. 'What is this place?' She thought. 'Get me out!'
'No'
'What?'
'You cannot leave this place. This is where you shall belong for all eternity.'
'Who are you?'
'I am the Darkness, the end, and the Bringer of Misery.'
'How did I get here?'
'I brought you here.'
'Why?! You cannot hold me in this place! '
'Oh yes, I can.'
'But why? Of what importance am I to you?'
'You can help me claim what is rightfully mine.'
'What do you mean?'
'You shall find out, in time.'
'What do you want?! TELL ME!'
'What do I want, child? I want to be free! I want to be able to feel the wind blowing against my skin, to feel the grass beneath my feet! You can make this happen!'
'Why me? What can I do to help you?! WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT ME TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE?!'
'Patience, child! I brought you here because you are the only person able to free me from my prison. You see, many, many years ago I fell in love with a woman. I was to make her mine. But then,' He paused for a moment, 'certain, things happened and I sent this woman away for my own safety. But now she has returned, and I will have her.'
'Who was this woman?
'She was the most beautiful woman to ever walk this earth. She was a symbol of Death and Destruction! She was my match in most things and she would have made an excellent queen.'
'Stop speaking in these riddles! Who was she!?'
There was a silence, and then the unknown voice began to laugh in the most menacing way, 'Why isn't it obvious? She was you!'
The Darkness opened, and swallowed her whole.
Its Queen was within its grasp.
'Welcome home, dearest Hotaru, my Dur-Alata.*'

"I don't trust him."
"You don't trust anybody."
"Yes I do! I trust plenty of people!"
"It took you three years to trust yourself!"
"I was plotting something against me! I just knew it!"
"Look, I don't sense any negativity from him. I really think we can trust him."
"The same way you said we could trust Setsuna!"
"We CAN trust Sestuna! SHE SAVED OUR LIVES!"
"So? That doesn't mean anything!"
"You're hopeless Haruka."
"What do you mean? Michiru? Where are you going? Why are you holding that long shiny object? MICH-!"
"Sorry Haruka. We need to find the others and you are just slowing me down!"
*Drool*

"How much longer?" Rei groaned. This was taking forever!
There wasn't much to say about the scenery either. I mean sure, trees were pretty enough, but when that's all you have been looking at for the past twenty-four hours; it tends to get pretty dull.
"A few more weeks," Legolas answered, "we've only been traveling for about a day,"
A few more weeks?! "Can't we take a bus?"
Legolas looked up from the tree that he had been examining for God knows why and said, "A bus? What is a bus?"
This was going to be a LONG three weeks.

Elrohir Elrondion** was alone. His twin brother, Elladan, was for the first time in months no where near him.
He needed the seclusion.
His father had been very distant lately. Locking himself up in his library and allowing entrance to no one. The last time he had done that was when naneth*** had been.....
'No,' Elrohir thought, 'do not dwell upon such things; we need to find a way to find out why there has been such a disturbance upon Arda****.' The very air seemed to have taken on a new life. The wind was howling, the trees screaming; what could this mean?
"Elrohir."
He turned around, not at all surprised, and saw Glorfindel standing at the small clearings edge.
Glorfindel was a mighty warrior, and everything about his appearance merely confirmed this statement. His long golden hair was tied back into the familiar warrior braids, and his well toned muscles gleamed on his lean body. His blue eyes were filled with wisdom, and experience. He was wearing the traditional warrior's garb of Imladris, and upon his feet he wore the soft elven boots.
"Yes?" Elrohir answered.
Glorfindel frowned, "We are needed in the Hall of Fire. Elrond has called for a council there in about ten minutes."
Well this was new, "Has he found anything?"
Glorfindel shook his head and sighed, "I don't know, he wouldn't tell me a thing about it."
Elrohir rose from his position upon the log that he had been sitting on, "We had best be going then, we mustn't be late."
Glorfindel nodded and followed Elrohir back to the Last Homely House.

"Makoto?"
"Mmmmph."
"Mako-chan?"
"Mmmmm"
"MAKOTO!!!!!!"
"Aargh!" Makoto screeched; arms flailing as she fell out of the bed in the middle of the room. She looked up, and saw Usagi hunched over her, a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Makoto asked.
That's all it took for Usagi to break.
"What are we going to do?!" She wailed, "Rei's gone!!! We've all been separated by that TYRANT Thranduil! AND MY HAIR IS COMPLETED MESSED UP!" Usagi latched her hands on Makoto's shoulders and shook her as she gave off one more desperate scream, "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!!"
"Calm down, Usa!" Makoto cried, "You need to calm down! Take deep breathes."
Usagi nodded and began to do as Makoto told her.
After about five minutes Makoto asked, "Feel better?"
Usagi offered a weak smile, "Yes, thank you Makoto."
Makoto gave her a wide grin back and said, "I don't think Thranduil is a tyrant, Usa."
Usagi gave her a confused look from her sitting position on the large bed, "Huh?"
"Earlier, you called Thranduil a tyrant. I don't agree with that."
A look of realization came over Usagi, "Oh yes, I remember now!" She paused with a thoughtful expression on her face, "You know what? Neither do I. But what made you bring that up?"
It was Makoto's turn to look confused, "I don't really know, when you called him that I had just automatically felt the need to defend him!" Again, there was a pause, and a thoughtful look came across her face, "It's like I know him from some where."
Usagi gave her another confused look, rose from the bed, and then asked, "Do you know where the others are?"
Makoto shook her head; she had been knocked unconscious after her fight with the palace guards. No one would take her from her friends that easily!
Usagi's face took on a determined look, "There are only two guards outside the door, I think we can take them!"
Makoto grew excited. Finally, a fight! "We'll take them down and then go find our friends!"
Usagi nodded, "Let's do it!"
They both headed towards the door, adrenaline pumping through their veins.

Rei was acting like a child. She knew this, yet the heat and long day's journey was getting to her and she really didn't care.
"Are we there yet?"
"Not yet."
And then, two minutes later, "Are we there yet?"
"Not yet, my Lady."
One minute later.
"Are we there yet?"
"No, my lady."
30 second later, "Are we there yet?"
Legolas clinched his teeth, "No."
And now, every second.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!!"
"Are we there yet?"
"NO!!! WE WILL NOT BE THERE FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS NOW BE QUIET!!!!!!!!"
Rei pouted, "Fine, be that way."
They were silent for the rest of the day.
Yup, a LONG three weeks.

Minako was on a mission, nothing could stop her! She would find her friends, and then find her way home!
She began to study her surroundings. The hallway that she was in was long and wide, with torches aligned all through it to give off light to guide the way.
"Minako!" A voice cried out.
"WHA-?"
A hand upon her mouth stopped any more sound coming from her lips.
"Quiet!" Ami hissed, "They must not find us!"
Minako nodded, and Ami removed her hand.
"Don't......do....that...." Minako gasped.
"Sorry," Ami said apologetically,
"So," Minako grinned, regaining her composer, "How did you get out?"
Ami shrugged, "I climbed out the balcony, you?"
"Knocked out the guard." Barely.
Ami nodded and began to look around, "Now what?"
An unknown voice interrupted them; "Now we find the others, then we find our answers."
They spun around, and relaxed when they saw a familiar face smiling at them, "Sestuna!" Minako cried.
Sestuna smiled, "Hello girls."
"There you are!" Another voice called out.
Minako grinned, "Ohayo Makoto! Usagi!"
Makoto grinned back, "Ohayo."
"How'd you get out?" Minako asked,
"It involved us, two guards, a stick, and very good acting skills."
"Ah."
"Yup."
"Now what?" A voice grumbled.
Two figures came from around the corner; one was walking with the other across her shoulders.
Usagi smiled, "Konnichiwa Michiru! Haru-...um.."
They had seen the unconscious Haruka.
"What happened to her?" Makoto asked, concerned, as she moved to help Michiru set Haruka on the ground.
Michiru grunted in annoyance, passing Haruka to Makoto, and said, "She was being difficult."
They all nodded in mutual understanding.
"Where is Hotaru? And Rei?" Ami asked.
"Darkness has taken Hotaru."
"WHAT?" they all cried, spinning towards Setsuna.
Setsuna sighed, "In all of the commotion the Darkness of this world came and carried Hotaru away without us noticing." A determined look came on her face, "We must find her."
They all nodded sadly, but also with a determined look in their eyes.
"What about Rei?" Suddenly asked Michiru from her place next to Haruka.
Setsuna grinned, a smile creeping back into her eyes, "She has become a stowaway to Imladris, so to speak. She will find us answers that are badly needed."
They all smiled. That was Rei for ya, hope she doesn't kill the guy she's with.

Gandalf looked at Thranduil sadly, and began his tale,
"When the Maiar were sent to Arda the Valar***** gave us a choice, to have children for us to guide and be our companions. At the time, most of us refused their offer, but I did not.
The Valar took some of my own blood from me, and then in a weeks time came back with a baby girl in their arms.
I had never seen such a beautiful creature.
'This is your child, Dolem-Mire******' they said to me, 'Raise her well, and she will complete her destiny.'
And raise her I did. I taught her everything I knew, spells, knowledge, wisdom, kindness, forgiveness, friendship, guidance, and she grew up to become the most wonderful young woman.
We traveled everywhere together! To the land of men, and elves! The time we spent together was bliss, I had thought that nothing could ever tear us apart! I was wrong.
One morning we were on our way to visit the Lore-master Elrond when Sauron came. He reached out his dark hand to my Mire and took her away from me. I could do nothing to stop him! My spells barely put a dent in his armor. I can still hear Mire's screams. That was the day half of my soul left. I never saw my daughter again.
Until now."
The story was finished, Gandalf looked over to Thranduil, unsure of what he would see. Thranduil studied him for a long while. His blue eyes fierce, until he finally spoke, "I am sorry for your loss, dear friend. But there is no need to grieve anymore! Your daughter has returned to you!"
Gandalf sighed, "Not wholly, my friend. She has changed. For worse or for better I do not know; but I do know this! She is no longer completely my Dolem-Mire."
A silence entered the room.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Legolas was thinking about the Grey-havens. He had heard that this time of the year was the best time to set sail for Valinor.
"Why aren't there any roads?"
Yes, a very good time to sail. He missed the peace and quiet of the old days.
"What is that? Oh, wait that's.....A BEE!!!!!! AHH!!!!!!!!!"
He should follow up on the sea-longing that has been plaguing him.
"Damn bee. Hey look! What a pretty flower! OW!!!! THORNS!!!!"
Maybe he should send a message to Cirdan of the Grey Havens, tell him he's on his way.
"Nice squirrel, good squirrel, pretty squir-AHH!!!!"
.Better yet, he should just ask Lord Elrond what the laws of murder are.
"CRAMP!!!!!!!!!"
