Disclaimer: ARRRGGGHHH!!!!!! I hate writing these because it hurts so bad that I cant say I own LOTR. Because I desperately want to. AND I WILL SOME DAY! YOU ALL WAIT AND SEE! *clears throat* Okay, I am fine now. Anyways, so yeah. I don't own Lord of The Rings or any of its characters or places, etc.

Authors Note: I think someone might notice this eventually so I am going to talk about it now. I don't have a chapter that talks about the Dwarves. I have a reason for this. I am just too lazy to write a chapter for them because I want to get to the school itself because that's where the fun begins! I know this chapter opens up in Rivendell but towards the end we will be at the school. The only reason open in Rivendell is so Arwen and Aragorn can meet before school. R&R please. Much thanks. *mwah*

P.S. For all of you who are wondering where our dear Legolas is, he will come in later on in the story in another chapter. I promise.

Chapter 6 So It Begins

"Estel! Estel has arrived! And the Lord Halabarad! Rejoice! The Lords of Men have returned. Estel is here!" Elven voices rang through out the city saying this as trumpets greeted them.

"Estel!" Aragorn was greeted by his foster father, Elrond, the Lord of Imladris.

"Elrond!" Aragorn said, getting off his horse and greeting him. Halabarad did the same.

"I am overjoyed that you have both returned. Am I right to guess that Sindarandir has informed you of the school and that you will be going?"

"Yes." Said Aragorn and Halabarad together.

"Good." Elrond said. "Your chambers have been prepared for you in my house. You may go and rest. I know you have had a long journey. You may also Sindarandir. Thank you for getting them as well." Elrond said. Then Aragorn and Halabarad went into the house.

"Halabarad, you go on. The only rest I need is to walk in these fair fields once again. I will meet up with you later." Aragorn said.

"Alright." Said Halabard and he entered his room. Aragorn then went out of the house and into the woods. Everything was as he remembered it. Bright, colorful, and just… amazing.

"So it's true? Our little mortal brother has returned?" Aragorn heard two voices say in unison. Aragorn turned around; it was Elladen and Elrohir, the twin sons of Elrond.

"Mae Govanayne (AN: I can't remember how to spell it! If anyone knows, please review and tell me!)" Said Aragorn. "It is wonderful to see you!"

"And same to you Estel." said Elladen.

"Well it seems our foster brother has grown up!" Elrohir said.

"Yes there is wisdom in his eyes." Elladen said.

"Wisdom? Aragorn? You jest of course!" Elrohir said playfully. Aragorn laughed. He had missed his foster brothers, their jokes and wit most.

"So how have to two been? Terrorizing Middle-Earth with out me?" Aragorn asked.

"Well, you know. We do have a duty to attend too." Elrohir said.

"And since you abandoned us…" Elladen said jokingly.

"I didn't abandon you. I have duties to attend too." Aragorn said defensively.

"Oh of course, noble heir to Gondor." Elrohir said with a mocking bow. Aragorn knew that he only jested so he wasn't offended.

"Yes all bow to me." Aragorn said with a laugh.

"Well it was wonderful to see you again…" Elladen said.

"…but we have work our father has asked us to do for him." Elrohir finished.

"Lazy bum." Said Elladen.

"Always making us do his dirty work." Elrohir said. Aragorn laughed heartily.

"Well it was good seeing you in crazy elves again." Aragorn said.

"Thank you."  The dark haired elves said in unison and departed.

Aragorn sighed. He really had missed those two. He continued he walk, admiring the trees and the grass. He began humming the tune for the Lay of Luthien. And suddenly before him walked the Lady Luthien herself. How this had happened he did not know but he did not wish for her to disappear.

"Luthien! Luthien!" he called, hoping she would stay. She turned to him and smiled the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. It shone like the sun.

"Who are you? And why do you call me by that name?" she asked.

"I thought you to indeed be Luthien Tinuviel but if you are not she than you walk in her likeness."

(AN: I don't want to go into all that stuff that they because that would be PLAGERISM!!!! I hate that but yeah. So you guys should go read that tale, the beginning part where Aragorn and Arwen first meet because that is what I am going for at the moment. Its in the appendixes of the return of the king.  So I am going to skip ahead till after she says…)

"Do not wonder! The children of Elrond have the life of the Eldar!" she said her eyes sparkling.

'I see. So why is it that you have been away for so long in Lothlorien?" Aragorn asked the maiden.

"That, I fear, is a story for another time." She told him respectfully. Aragorn nodded. They walked through out the wood together talking of things that had come, and things that would come. And about the school.

"So what do you think the school will be like?" Arwen asked her new friend Estel. They sat by a waterfall. It sounded of beautiful music.

"I'm not sure. I haven't been exactly told about the school yet." he told her.

"No one has."

"Why do you think all the secrecy?"

"I think it is because, this school is going to hold all the present and future great minds of Middle-Earth. Much will be learned and taught there. Some of that knowledge must remain only with those worthy." Aragorn agreed. Later on they bid each other farewell and each went to there rooms.


Arwen walked over the bridge to her house. "Well he certainly was different. Strange, mysterious. Handsome. Arwen!" she said out loud to herself. "He is a mortal! You should not think things like that." Then she realized she was talking to herself out loud and decided she had better be quiet. It would not do for anyone to here the Lady of Imladris talking to herself.

 But he was interesting for sure. He has this quality about him that made him always seem so… intriguing. No, that wasn't the right word, she concluded, more like passionate. Yes, he seemed passionate about everything he said. Like he always meant it all and never spoke anything false. Well, however you described him, he was still her new friend, and she was looking forward to seeing him.

Aragorn lay on his bed thinking… about the beautiful Arwen. He was so happy he had met her. She was wonderful, amazing, funny, cheerful, witty, smart, wise…… Oh he could go on forever. He had feelings for her. Feelings beyond friendship….

 This of course could never go further than thoughts in his head. He was mortal. It was improper for a mortal and immortal to have such feelings for each other. And, she was the daughter of his foster father! That of course would not do!

At these thoughts he felt his heart sink. He didn't know why she affected him so! He had only known her for not even one day and already he was…enchanted by her. But that didn't matter. He must not let his feelings get out of hand or... trouble would brew.

OK I LYED!!! WE DIDN'T GO TO THE SCHOOL YET. But I promise you on my grandmother's grave that the next chapter will be AT THE SCHOOL! I promise. Please don't hate me! Please don't. And…. I hate to ask you for another thing but….can you R&R pretty please? Thanks loves! *mwah*
