Please review or I won't write any more!! I'm sorry that this chapter is so little, but I'm having a little trouble here.

Raine turned around once to looked at what her sisters were doing, then turned back round to continue jotting down her thoughts. Isabel pulled out a heavy book called "Middle Earth Tales of Friendship and Courage." She opened it to a book marked page. Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom. "You like the tale?" Isabel asked, mildly surprised. Raine never showed any sign of listening during the traditional reading. "Hm?" Raine asked absentmindedly, frowning at the page she was writing on.

"Frodo and the Ring. I didn't know you liked it," Isabel repeated, closing the book and sliding it back onto the shelf. "Oh, That." Raine said, turning around and looking at her older sister. "I wasn't really listening. Yeah, it's one of my favorites." She turned around again. Taja came up behind her and peered over her shoulder. "What's that you're so concentrated on?" Raine shut the book quickly and looked at her sister. "My journal. It's private," Raine pointed out. Taja held her hands up innocently and backed up to the bed. Raine reopened it and re-dipped her quill. A knock sounded at the door. "Who is it?" Raine asked. "Me."

Isabel made to open the door. Raine gave her a look. Isabel stared right back and opened the door to let Aries into the room. "Hello," she smiled at the elf. "My lady," he said respectfully back with a nod of the head. He saw Taja and said to her, "Gracie's searching your room for hidden sweets." Taja laughed. "I'll deal with her later," she replied. Aries looked at Raine, but her back was turned to him and was continuing to write in her journal.

Isabel frowned at Raine. She can tell with her gift that her sister was feeling a bit resentful. But why?"

Why am I feeling so angry? Raine thought to herself, her writing paused for a moment. It's not like I have any reason to be angry towards Aries. He did nothing wrong. Raine sighed and laid her quill on the table. She turned around. "Good morning Aries," She said with her half smile. "We haven't eaten breakfast yet. Will you join us?" Aries looked taken aback and her sisters exchanged looks. It wasn't ordinary for Raine to invite someone. Aries smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry," he said. "I would like to, but I'm actually here to tell you that there is to be a council today. Lady Gem has some important news and information to share. She was busy so she had me deliver the message." Raine frowned. A council? There isn't a council unless something really bad has happened. "Do you have any idea what the meeting is about?" she asked. Aries shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it has to do with Wizengard and the Lands of Death."

Taja remembered Wizengard, her old home. But the mere thought of the Lands of Death chased the memory away. The Lands of Death... Where the Ring was destroyed. Taja opened her mouth to ask, but Aries shook his head. "I have no other idea what the meeting is about, but I'll let you know if I do." He turned and walked out of the room, leaving the girls staring at one another, questions in their eyes.
