Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings, or any thing that has to do with the book or movie. All I own are my gay dog, my clothes, the crappy artwork I do, and the plot to this story. As I said before, I don't have a job so if you sue, I can't pay you any thing anyway!
All the way, walking along with the elves, Amil obviously detested me. He kept muttering stuff in elfish about how humans were the worst race, that they were stupid and various other things that I didn't quite catch. If he kept this up, it would be better if I just acted like I couldn't understand elfish. He kept it. Oh, brother, he was annoying. I could start calling him things in languages that he probably wouldn't understand too! Then we'd see how he liked it.
Legolas tried to get him to stop a couple of times, but it wasn't working. He finally gave it up. Instead, Legolas started to try to get me involved with conversation.
"So… you haven't told us your name yet." He stated, looking straight ahead.
"Oh, sorry. My name is Ara." I said, rubbing the back of my head. I must have forgotten to tell them in the excitement of coming here and meeting Mr. 'Humans are Stupid'.
"Ara! Do you know who, or better said, what you are named after!" Legolas exclaimed, turning to look at me in shook.
"Umm… no, I don't have a clue. But apparently it means something to you." I said flatly.
"Ara is one of the Valior's names. She takes care of the great forests! How could a stupid, simple human be named after her!" Amil asked indignant, his eyes going wide and his face turning so red it looked like it might explode.
"I don't know, okay! I'm not even from this world, of you had asked me! How would I know? Anyways, Middle Earth is just a fairy tale land! I don't belong here!" I said, finally snapping as I had had it up to here with his high and mighty attitude.
I was alone, or at least without any human contact, tired, hungry and extremely lost. The elf was accusing me of being stupid! Hey, I couldn't spell, but that didn't mean I was stupid! I couldn't help it if I blew up in his face.
"There is a reason this child is named after me. Do not chide her, Amil. Isthill brought her to us for a reason. Do you not wonder why the darkness seems to be stronger of late? Mongroth, as you elves call him, has risen again. Legolas, you and the rest of the fellowship that remains and a few others will take this girl to the mortal lands to warn the people there of his return. Only by working together and helping each other will you defeat him." A beautiful woman said, her face shining so that I could not tell what she looked like.
She turned to Amil. "yes, she is a human, but you will find that she isn't like the humans of our world at all. She speaks sooth when she says that she is from another world. Protect her and you will do well, both of you. We Valior will help you all we can, and expect you to leave within a fortnight.
"Keep safe and remember my elves, my words. Do not forget what I have said to you on this day." With that, the Lady disappeared.
Okay, now I was officially freaked out major. Even with my modest knowledge of Middle Earthen lore (well, not too modest, as I had studied it to a point of obsession, with my mom wondering if I was going to start a Lord of the Rings cult at one point -') I hadn't known who I was named after, although it was probably just a coincidence that I was named after her, or who the hell this Mongroth was. Add into that mix, a Valoiren, or what ever you call what that Lady was, telling two elves, one of which was a prince, to protect me, and being slightly sick from swallowing too much sea water after falling over board, I wasn't feeling too coherent all of the sudden. I passed out.
"Ara! Ara!" was the last intelligent thing I heard before the black void over took my conscience.
Author's Note: thanks to all my reviewers:
GreenEyedElfGoddess- sorry, I don't know what AU stands for either. I often have to go by context clues if I want to figure something out, even though I've been reading fan fics for more than a year now.
Feanin- thanks for clearing that up. I was really confused when I read your review, but now I feel really stupid about not figuring it out. If you can't tell, Legolas is my favorite elf, so he is kinda the nicer one.
Mirkwood's Dreamflower- if you think Amil is nice now, wait until later chapters!
Fk306animeloverandLOTRlovertoo- I'm sorry that this is short! I have a tendency to write short chapters so that I can update frequently. This chapter is a little bit longer, so I hope you're a bit more happy.
Any way, thanks for all the reviews, guys! I hope you all keep reviewing, it really helps me want to keep writing! I don't know how often I'll be able to update 'cause I'm in school and I share the computer with about four other people in my house, but I'll try to get on and update as frequently as I can! 'bye for now!
