Disclaimer: I don't own anything you recognize as Tolkien's.

Mystisch: Thank you.

Okanim: It was met to be uncomfortable to a certain extent, after all saying sorry isn't always easy but the feel of it might have also been due to the fact that it wasn't a full chapter and the flow was interrupted. Also I wasn't in the greatest of moods when it was wrote. I hope future chapters are better.

Brandy Lebeau: Thanks.

Raz 42492: Here's your update.

Brownie24: While Tolkien is from an earlier time on Earth he is in Middle Earth at the same time as Alexis and remains there until the last of the Fellowship departs Middle Earth. Remember while in Middle Earth, Earthlings don't age. He then returns to his time period on earth. Remember what Elrond tells Alexis and her friends in chapter 9.

Arami: I agree, but it seems as if she was a victim also. A friend of hers gave her the story saying that is was hers and that she could change things if she wanted. This friend 'My fault' admitted to what she had done in a review and my response to her is below. I have also talked with the author of Broken and she angry at her friend and apologized for what happened. As for the character, I sent you an e-mail some time ago. Did you get it?

Ms.yoko-chanFk306: Thank you.

Astro-Greek: Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

PrincessofRain: I'm glad you think so. Thank you.

Misao Demon Master: Thanks.

Laer4572: Yes it can. Hehe. Then that means I'm doing my job right.

My fault: I can't say that I blame her. You not only caused her to lose the respect of her readers but you could have got her into serious trouble. As you have probably guessed I am also very angry at what you did, BUT you did have the courage to admit to what you did and I admire that, not many people would. Therefore I forgive you and maybe in time she will too if she hasn't already. I just hope you have learned from your mistake.

Alexis finishes eating and makes her way to the small garden that her and Legolas sat in the previous evening. She wanders along the path thinking about everything that had happened to her in the past when she runs into Cirdan.

"Lady Alexis," he says in surprise. "I thought you and your friends had went back to your world."

She smiles sadly at him. "We were supposed too. It seems that Gandalf's spell did not work for me though. The others returned to our world but it appears that I am stuck here for the time being."

Cirdan reaches out and touches her arm lightly. "I'm sorry."

"It's alright. Gandalf's looking for a way to get me back but until then I will just enjoy being in Rivendell. I've never seen anything as beautiful as this place," she smiles.

Cirdan looks around and smiles softly. "Aye, one can get lost in it's beauty." He glances over his shoulder and then returns his attention to Alexis. "Someone is coming this way."

"It's probably Legolas and Aragorn. They were going to meet me here to talk," Alexis tells him.

"Then I shall continue my walk. Goodnight, Lady Alexis," Cirdan says with a slight bow.

"Goodnight, Cirdan." She watches him as he walks away singing softly and smiles before turning to greet Legolas and Aragorn.

"Let's sit down, this could take a while." Alexis tells them as she sits on the soft grass under one of the many trees. "Before I start, I have to tell you that my world is completely different than it is here. We have many machines and other inventions that you won't understand and I will probably confuse you even more trying to explain how the work, but I'll try anyway."

She tells them about the trip she was taking with the professor and her classmates and the plane crash and the two of them stayed quiet during her story even though she could tell by the look on their faces that they had questions.

"When you saw the green fog you said that Zach mentioned being in the…Bermuda Triangle? Why would that have anything to do with the strange fog?" Legolas questions curiously.

Alexis chuckles, surprised that out of everything she mentioned he would ask a question about that. "The Bermuda Triangle is a area in my world where mysterious things happen that no one has ever been able to explain. Many machines have acted very strange while inside this area and some ships and planes have even vanished into thin air along with the people inside of them. Some have never been seen or heard from again. The ones that do reappear sometimes reappear in a different place from where they disappeared. And if that isn't strange enough, the people on them don't seem to know what happened and sometimes don't even know that anything did happen."

"It sounds like some sort of evil trickery," Aragorn says.

"Maybe," Alexis replies. "But from what Lord Elrond has told me about others from my world coming here and from what I've been through I think its more like some sort of portal between my world and yours."

Aragorn shakes his head. "It still doesn't explain how you know of me."

Alexis grins, "That's easy. John Tolkien, the man that's friends with Bilbo, is from an earlier time period in my world. He wrote about his time here and the people he met. His books are very popular in my world but they are believed to be just stories told for entertainment."

"He writes about our lives for the amusement of others?" Legolas questions slightly angry.

Alexis shakes her head, "No, Legolas. He didn't write for their amusement. The stories aren't funny at all. His books are about the history of this world and the people that play a part in it."

An elf approaches them and bows before turning to Aragorn. "Lord Elrond asked me to inform you that the halfling is awake, Estel."

"Thank you, Amras," Aragorn replies and turns to Legolas and Alexis. "Until later."

After Aragorn leaves Legolas returns his attention to Alexis. "I would like to hear more of your world."

"Alright," Alexis smiles, "but in return you have to tell me about Mirkwood."

Alexis had spent most of the morning talking with Legolas, and that afternoon had ended up at the archery fields watching a friendly competition between Aragorn, Legolas and Elrond's twin sons. She wasn't the only one either, it appears as though every female elf in Imaldris had shown up to watch.

"Well, hello Alexis," John Tolkien says as he sits next to her. "I heard about what happened. Don't worry though, Gandalf will find you a way to get back home."

Alexis smiles at him. "I know." Then she sighs, "but I also know that if he doesn't find the way soon I will have to wait for quite a while. Things are about to happen that will be more important than trying to get me back home."

"Oh?" Tolkien looks at her curiously. "And how would you know what will happen?"

She laughs and looks over at him. "You of course, Mr. Tolkien. You are writing about everything that is happening here aren't you?"

"Ah," John nods his head in understanding. "I do get them published."

"Yes, Mr. Tolkien you do and they become more popular than you could imagine," she grins.

"What is this Mr. Tolkien nonsense? I'm only a couple of years older than you. Just call me John."

Alexis chuckles, "Alright John, tell me about your adventure with Bilbo and the dwarves."

The rest of the afternoon is spent listening to John talk about his journey with Bilbo and the Dwarves. When he's finished she laughs, "You do realize that Legolas and his father are still trying to figure out how the dwarves escaped don't you?"

He grins, "Maybe I'll tell Legolas someday."

After dinner that evening while everyone else retires to the Hall of Fire, Alexis, Elrond, and Gandalf go to Elrond's study to discuss her knowledge of what will happen with the ring. They decide that her knowledge should be kept secret even from them, except to confirm or deny what they learn from their foresight. Elrond also allows her permission to sit in on the council after she promises him she will not do anything but watch the proceedings… and a lot of begging.
