The Fellowship had been walking down the mountain all afternoon. It was obviously early afternoon when they left the Mines of Moria so they knew they could travel a good distance. Kendra watched as Aragorn ran ahead of them, through a small stream and stopped just beyond it. Once they reached his spot, they all saw what he had been looking up. The Woods of Lothlorien, another home of the elves, according to Legolas.
They soon made their way underneath the boughs of trees. It was quiet here. But it wasn't an unnatural silence. This silence seemed appropriate, somehow. They walked further into the woods, several members growing slightly uneasy. This was most noticeable in the dwarf. He pulled Frodo and Sam closer to him and started talking to them in quiet whispers.
A soft breeze warned Kendra of the coming danger and she quickly pulled out a small knife just as the first elf appeared in front of the Fellowship. Arrows were quickly put to the string, both by the new elves and by Legolas. The Hobbits just stopped in shock while Aragorn held his hands up in a sign of peace.
"The dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him in the dark," a new voice, calm and slow said.
The elf that belonged with this voice appeared from behind several other elves. Kendra knew right away, just by looking at him, that he was a leader. No ifs, ands, or buts. He was also very smug, something she hated. He looked at Aragorn and listened as Aragorn spoke to him in his language.
