A/N: Here's the second chapter, even though no ones reviewed. This chapter is mainly introducing three of my characters and what role they play for the story. The chapter after this is going to be the reunion as well as the discovery. The chapter after that one will be the fellowship in the other realm which will probably be meeting a few of the other characters, and a few other things, but I haven't started on this chapter yet, so who knows where it'll lead in the end. Also in the last chapter I believe I spelled Cazor a few times Caroz and I think it was when you first met him, curious but which one is better, it meant to be which was my fault and I apologize for any confusion on the matter.

Disclaimer: I still own nothing, but a few made up characters, everything else belongs to Tolkien and 2i.

Chapter One

A hobbit known as Briar, walked, almost ran to major Samwise's house. The major would definitely want to know about his discovery. The major was scheduled for a trip to Rohan for a reunion with what himself, Peregrin Took and Meriodic Brandybuck had referred to as the fellowship. Briar as he was a young hobbit, just a little younger than Peregrin Took always believed in the stories that the four hobits had told, and if he didn't believe before, he sure as valor did now. Briar was a short muscled hobbit, he loved to eat, yet he loved more than anything the Old Forest, home to a friend of his by the name of Tom Bambidil. He had a gift, even the great white wizard Gandalf had noticed something before he left, he couldn't place it, yet he had said he had some greater purpose that would lead outside the shire. When his destiny would be foretold, he knew not, and unlike most hobbits, he earned for adventure. He was hurrying to tell the major something of utmost importance, he hoped to catch him before he left, if he did not he would be going with the two, at least from what the wizard had hinted.

Briar had just finished his assignment that Sam had given him and was working his way back to Hobbiton when off to the side of the trail he saw two people wandering through the woods. Most hobbits are extremely fearful of adventure and when they see a tall man cloaked in gray they think nothing of it, probably a messenger from another realm, securing friend lines with the shire folk. They had become famous and not many knew why, Briar however did. He watched the two, one was a hobbit and the other was a very tall man, wearing a pointed hat, and gray robes, yet Briar could tell they were actually concealing something underneath. The hobbit looked strange, he was missing a finger, and not many hobbits of the shire were known of not having a finger. Only one hobbit that he knew of who had lost a finger was that of Frodo Baggins, and he had sailed away to the undying lands across the sea. It was even rarer to see a hobbit freely walking with one of the big folk, it also seemed as if they were injured and trying not to draw attention to themselves. Briar decided to run up to the travelers and see if he could help them, which is probably what began his soon to be adventure.

"Hey, I just happened to be passing by and was wondering if you needed help getting somewhere? It's no trouble at all for me, I'm heading for home, and it's on the edge of the shire, near Buckland. So if you need any help, it's no trouble at all." Briar said energetically and enthusiastically.

"Ah, Mr. Briar Bolger, it is nice to see you again." The tall man had told him.

Briar was confused, this man knew him? How? He was sure he had never seen the man before, the only person he knew of that had a long white beard was Gandalf, and he was across the sea. It was then that he noticed the man's eyes, they were normal to an extent, there was something mysterious about them, and then he saw it. The regular little twinkle that Gandalf had always used when he was thinking, the same twinkle he had seen the last few days of his stay.

"Gandalf? How can this be?"

"Yes it is I young Bolger, remember what I said the last time we met? I said that you still had a piece to play in an event that could cause good or evil for this world. It appears your time has come. As for the how, all will be explained once we see the major. Now where is the old Gamgee?"

"Gandalf, it is quite rude to leave me standing here. No introduction or anything, but I suppose Briar you've already realized who I am?" replied the hobbit next to Gandalf.

"Frodo? Frodo Baggins? Well isn't this a surprise. I thought you and Mr. Gandalf here were heading for the undying lands?"

"We were, but it seems as if we were delayed, and our job here is not yet done." Gandalf said gruffly.

"So you're back for a while? Well this is great, Sam will be so shocked to seeing you again, as will the others that you both won't be able to get away fast enough. I'll head to see the major right away, hopefully I can catch him before he leaves for his reunion." Briar said, receiving a stare from Frodo and a knowing look from Gandalf.

"Ah, Sam. Won't he be surprised to see me back? Just imagine the look on his face Gandalf. Wait, who is this major you speak of? You need to get permission from the major about seeing the Gamgees?" Frodo asked puzzled at this change of events. He had only been gone a month or two and they had already made a new government.

"Oh, that's right you weren't here when it happened. We elected a new major, the major is Sam. The results were unanimous, so yes the reunion is a reunion with the fellowship at Edoras. If you want me to be able to catch him before he leaves, I need to go right away. I'll be back with Sam in a few hours at the inn of the Prancing Pony, in Bree, If not then I'll come with you to Edoras, after all Gandalf you said my adventure was to begin soon, maybe this is it. Wish me luck, and speed, as well as secrecy to you." Briar said and then began sprinting to the majors house.

He had just got up to the door and watched in anger as instead of Gamgee coming out to greet him, the stupid fool Leon came out and said to leave. Leon was a terribly fat hobbit and he cared for people, but he wasn't the brightest, he also wasn't known for being friendly at night. Leon told him, rather angrily that the major had already left, left for a place called Edoras. Briar thanked him, and apologized once more before heading for the Inn of The Prancing Pony, it looked like he would be heading to Edoras with Gandalf and Fordo, even something as little as meeting the king of Gondor would be an adventure for him. He did not know it, but the adventure was only just beginning.

(thing is still not working so I'm using this as a break in between parts of story scene switches, sorry should be better soon, also cannot type in certain words on it at the moment, don't really know why, but working on it.)

Aragorn the king of Gondor was wistfully awaiting the arrivals of his old friends. It had been quite a while since he had seen them, well, not all too long, but there was something about them all that lightened the spirits he often had. Aragorn had found out that being a king was a much more tedious task than anticipated, what with all the treaties, declarations of peace, rebuilding, resettling, and of course the job of ridding the land of orcs and uruk-hai, they were slowly beginning to wear him out. He had recently been given horrible news by one of the innkeepers of a tavern on the edge of Osgiliath. They tavern master had told him a story about a short-stout fellow, who acted and gave off the same fear as the former nazgul had. He had thought nothing of any of this, that is he hadn't until he had gotten other reports, they said it was some type of small nazgul. Aragorn thought of Frodo at once and began to fear for him, then remembered he had crossed the sea with Gandalf. He had created a small task force of the most talented gondorian soldiers and had created them to hunt nazgul and other important leaders of the late Sauron. They had already proved their worth, they had hunted down one of the remaining nazgul and defeated it, with Sauron gone, or at least dormant and powerless, they couldn't come back, at least that is what he hoped. One of his top recruits of the division had come with him, it was somewhat startling, but the top warrior was a young woman and deftly skilled at the use of a staff and sword. Her name was Athaniel and was easily one of the best looking young woman in the whole of Gondor, yet her looks could be deadly, for one would think one so beautiful would be a weakling, that was not the case for her. Aragorn had chosen her along with a few other guards, including a man named Berethro who had helped in the war of the ring. Berethro and Athaniel were his guards and wouldn't leave his side unless death take them. They were busy somewhere in the golden hall most likely talking to another guard about tactics of war. Aragorn and his guards had arrived at Edoras not three, four days ago, and the rest of the fellowship was coming from far away and should, if they had boarded the ship correctly, they should have reached docks by now and were in the process of heading to Edoras. The hobbits any way, Legolas and Gimli would be arriving very soon, they were busy exploring Fangorn Forest and as much as Gimli disliked it, he had agreed to it. Aragorn looked forward to seeing his old friend again, the dwarf as well, they had been through much together and was interested to find out what they had learned about Fangorn, after all, there is only so long you can listen to Treebeard with out growing impatient, and hasty as the ents liked to call it. He had left Arwen and Faramir in charge until he came back, he had a strange suspicion that another adventure of the sorts were heading his way.

"Aragron, WHERE ARE YOU?" Yelled an extremely loud and ear shattering hobbit from outside the gates. Aragorn sighed and slightly winced from the sound Peregrin Took had made. It seemed the hobbits were here and the merrymaking was about to begin, now all he had to wait for was the elf and the dwarf, then the catching up could begin. He got up from his seat and went to talk with the hobbits, he noticed Athaniel and Berethro begin to follow him from the shadows, they truly were the best of the best.

(another character switch scene, sorry if this is mildly or hugely annoying. Also now you know the three other new main characters, or at least you will after you read this next section.)

Berethro followed Aragorn swiftly and silently through the halls heading towards the sound of the noise, he sensed Athaniel following behind as well. Athaniel was as always a little too loud and a little too cautious, he had yet a teach her. Berethro wasn't a normal man, he was half elf, and had a few magical properties, with enough training, he would have been abl to become a wizard, yet he strayed from that path and adapted as a bodyguard, which was a reward all in its own. Berethro had actually met Aragorn while they were tracking the Urk-hai, and had saved his life from a wandering forest troll in the Fangorn Forest. He was strikingly handsome and as well as well shaped for his profession, he had curly golden hair, so most times he was mistaken for a rohirm citizen, which came to his advantage in the long run. He had a large quiver of arrows on his back and a bow made from one of Elrond's finest as well as two well shaped knives. Being half elf he was able to travel across many lands, taking shelter once in mirkwood, where he camped not even a mile away from Bilbo's party, and had almost ran into the four hobbits and Strider in Bree, but it was a day after them when he arrived. When he began his body guarding he also took up use of sword, axe, and mild magic's.

Athaniel was a Gondorian woman who had proved her worth by defeating one of the nazgul who escaped the fall of Sauron. Since then she had become a truly talented woman both with sword and shield, and could even beet Berethro, which was a feet not many were able to master. She decided she wanted to be Aragorn's body guard when he had unknowingly broken a 2000 year old curse on her family and its ancestors. She was related to the king of the dead, or at least she had the same blood, her family had been plagued with misfortune and death for as long as they could remember. When the dead had fulfilled their promise and the king likewise, the curse had been lifted, just in time for her dying little brother and mother to see another day. Athaniel watched in mild anger as Berethro suddenly glanced behind him and then formed a small smile on his face. Athaniel no matter how skillful she could be, just couldn't get past Berethro's hearing and sight advantage. Athaniel carefully followed him outside and saw three extremely short people, most likely hobbits, a dwarf whom she recognized as Gimli and an Elf she also knew by the name of Legolas. She felt herself smile when Aragorn went over and began to catch up on his friends, had she or Berethro glanced across the way, they would have seen three traveling companions, two hobbits and a tall man heading their way and then getting ambushed by seven men in red.
