Disclaimer: I do not own anything but the plot and myself
Dedicated to: Kaitlyn and Sam (my hockey girls!!!), Roz (you crazy thing you!!), and Zac ( who listens to me ramble about LOTR and Harry Potter when no one else will)
Roz hadn't said much and I was worried that she might be in shock. Sam and Zac seemed to be taking it all in stride, except for the fact that Zac still seemed rather dazed about seeing Arwen ride by. Kaitlyn only seemed worried about missing Scott and her hockey game.
As we approached the ornate doors, two dark haired elves who seemed to be identical strode up to us.
The one on the right asked, "Who are you and what business do you have with our father Lord Elrond? Or perhaps your business is with Mithrandir?"
Everyone else seemed frozen, so I stepped forward and said, "I'm Samantha and these are my friends Sam, Kaitlyn, Roz, and Zac. We wish to see Lord Elrond and Mithrandir. You see we have information about the Ring of Power."
"Huh?" asked Roz, speaking for the first time in a while.
"Oh dear…" I muttered, "Zac, tell them what you know and I'll fill in the gaps later after I finish talking to these guys." Meanwhile the twins, who I guessed were Elrond's sons Elladan and Elrohir, were still standing there watching us. "It's of the gravest importance that we see them my lords," I said, turning to them with what I hoped was a winning smile. "The fate of Middle Earth may hang in the balance." They looked at each other and then nodded.
"Come with me," said the one on the left. I turned around and gestured for my friends to come. We followed the elf through the graceful doors of Rivendell into an elaborately decorated hall. We followed silently, just taking in the pure beauty of that hall. We soon passed through another place I recognized from the movie, the place where Aragorn and Boromir had met and where the shards of Narsil were kept as well. And, sure enough, there they were on the arms of a statue that looked just like the one from the movie. Oh my God, I can't believe I'm actually here, in my favorite place in all the world, I thought excitedly.
"Oh my God you guys, look!" I squealed. "It's the shards of Narsil! This is amazing, I'm like in heaven here!" The elf turned around and smiled at me.
"That's right milady, those are indeed the shards of Narsil. You seem very knowledgeable for one so young."
"Oh its nothing really my lord. What is your name by the way?"
He smiled, "milady, my name is Elladan. The other who greeted you was my brother Elrohir. We have only recently returned to our home, and will be leaving again upon the morrow to hunt orcs." Oh yeah, they mentioned they were gone in the books, I thought. Roz was beginning to look more and more confused and I couldn't help but grin at the amazed looks on the faces of the others.
We went down another long, ornate hallway and at the end of it was a graceful arched door. Elladan opened it and we entered. Inside stood Elrond looking out a window. He turned as he heard us come in and frowned.
"Elladan, who are these…children and why have you brought them here?
