Note: Thank you for the tips! I feel that I must reply you nice reviewers though!
I.H.N. – (thinks a moment) I guess I didn't really explain that well. I know elves are all...what you said, but I guess Alhana's family was exiled because they were different in the first place. They've been away for a long time, focusing on their magic (I am referring to wizard-like magic, not...what you said. (Sheepish grin)) so I guess they would have different views on the definition of magic. (I actually wrote a page on their history...but I'll skip that.) (Grin) For some reason, you talking about how I can prevent my character from being a Mary-Sue made me REALLY happy, because I've already thought of all that! (Grins more) And don't worry; she'll make a mistake. A BIG mistake. In fact, starting on the whole damn mission was a HUGE mistake. But you'll see in the last chapter.
Tpfan333 – (Slaps forehead) I forgot that Gandalf went with Frodo! I'll try to fix that in the next chapter. I wasn't really planning on using Frodo, (I'll use Aragon, Arwen, Pippin and more though.) and Sam, but did Sam go with Frodo? I thought he stayed. (Shrugs) Doesn't matter. (Yet.) Thanks for the compliment. (Sniffles)
Ah, the woes of an underage writer. (I'm not exactly thirteen yet...but I will be in the end of July!)
----------
Alhana just stood there staring at them with her expressionless eyes, as though waiting for something. No one seemed willing to speak.
"You are Alhana?" questioned Aragon.
"Yes."
"And you are the child of no one?"
"I am a child of war," Alhana replied softly.
Legolas had no idea what she meant.
Neither did Aragon, apparently. He gazed at her curiously for a moment, then spoke again, "I assume you know why you are being called here?"
"Yes," was Alhana's blunt reply.
Legolas felt the familiar feeling of frustration well up inside him. These questions were leading nowhere! And yet...Aragon seemed unwilling question further.
Gandalf finally spoke up. "As you are aware, we have been spotting strange happening in the West, particularly near Mordor and the Iron Mountains. We have turned a blind eye so far to the odd happenings and weather changes around the Iron Mountains, as it is well known that your people fled there- "
"We did not flee," Alhana cut in with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, yes," Gandalf seemed uncomfortable. "Well, it is well known that your people currently reside there, but I'm afraid we cannot ignore these same acts near Mordor."
"Are we not a free-roaming people?" Alhana remarked with a mocking smile.
Legolas realized that when she said 'we', she meant her people, whoever they were.
Again Gandalf seemed disturbed. "Yes, well-"
"What he's trying to say is," Aragon cut in impatiently, "is that you should know that the rest of the world is keeping an eye on you, and we cannot tolerate any of you dark arts near Mordor, as the circumstances are unpredictable. You are also aware that your people are not very...popular with others, and we will not hesitate to exterminate your race if we spot the slightest disturbance in your home area-"
"Aragon!" cried Arwen, shocked.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, Alhana again smiled mockingly. "You people really should stop cutting in on other's sentences," she commented.
Aragon narrowed his eyes. "Carry on your dark rites, exile, but remember that we're watching you." With that, he promptly swept out of the room.
"I believe that signals the end of the meeting. Good day, gentlemen." Alhana walked out of the hall.
"Come with Arwen and I, Legolas..." Gandalf said softly, "We have a task for you."
----------
Short and pathetic, I know, but I'll update soon! (Could be anywhere from an hour till tomorrow)
Well, Aragon seems to be having a bad day. Can't blame him, because Gondor...you'll have to wait till later chapters!
I Just realized I couldn't fit in Kellarin anywhere near the beginning, so you'll have to wait till later. Legolas' task is already in the summary and I'm pretty sure you can guess who the Voice is.
PLEASE REVIEW!
