Hey guys! I know Devious-WildChild wrote this first, and yes! It is the same person here, don't worry! I took off my stories to edit them a little bit, then my account went all crazy and I couldn't get back into it to post them back on. So I had to make a new account. Lucky I'd already taken my stories off in my other account eh? :)
Anyway, so here it is. There are a few more chapters that I've added, so enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters apart from the Phoenix.
Ps. I've created the character of the Phoenix based mostly on stuff I've made up and stuff that I already know. It might not be really much like what a real Phoenix is like, but hey this is my story, and I make what happens here! XD
Pss. To those who have read it before, I've realised how Mary-Sue-Ish it was and I've done my best to try and reverse it!
Chapter six:
The Beginning of the Journey
Faye was a little reluctant to give up the veil that she usually wore to hide her flaming red hair. Oh well... you know it must be done. A veil is not appropriate for the kind of work you will be doing. She thought to herself.
She dressed in light, comfortable travelling clothes. It consisted of: A pair of breeches and a shirt under a waterproof coat and some sturdy and strong walking boots. She didn't need many clothes, nor a blanket. Being the Phoenix, she had the spirit of the fire beings flowing through her veins. So, naturally she didn't feel the cold much. Rain or snow was the only thing she had to watch out for. The things that counteracted fire. Bathing was alright, but she usually didn't stay in the water for longer than was necessary. Anything of the water element caused her powers to weaken and her awareness and fighting skills where dulled when water was present. She avoided it and kept well away from it. It was her one weakness... apart from her heart.
She had made sure that her cloak was well sealed before she left. With her, she took an assortment of weapons. Daggers, hidden in her boots. A sword and throwing blades hung from her belt. She wore metal bands around her wrists for combat – to block a heavy blow. The metal would protect the bones and flesh on her wrist. That was about it. She didn't need a lot of armour, the Phoenix was after all an immortal being, and healed incredibly fast. Her tears could heal many wounds, and her blood could protect any being that bore it.
The Fellowship set off, after Lord Elrond made sure that everyone was well recovered and in the proper condition to travel. They where all on foot, Bill their pony came with some extra luggage.
They stopped that day for a break in a rocky area that overlooked the path they were going to take. Boromir ran through useful skills using the sword with the hobbits. The other sat back and enjoyed the entertainment. Legolas stood watch.
"What is that?" asked Sam, squinting as he saw a black cloud hovering in the distance.
"Nothing, just a whisp of cloud." Said The dwarf, Gimli dismissing it instantly.
"It's moving fast, and against the wind." Noted Boromir.
"Crebain from Duneland!" cried Legolas, his sharp eyes being able to see a lot clearer than everyone else's.
"Hide!!" bellowed Aragorn. There was a mad rush as everyone scrambled to their feet, quickly gathered their belongings, attempted to erase all signs of their presence and hide within a few moments. Aragorn quickly checked to make sure that there weren't any major signs that they had been here, and that everyone was hidden. He spotted Faye, pushing Merry and Pippin into the bushes, then grabbing fallen tree branches that still had leaves on them over their heads so they won't be spotted. Aragorn, seeing that she would not have enough time to hide herself ran out from his hiding spot, grabbed her by the arm then quickly ducked in between a boulder and an area of thick vegetation, just seconds before the flock of black birds swarmed around where they had been standing moments ago.
Faye tried to move, not quite feeling comfortable with the way that she was so close to Aragorn. Their bodies seemed to be tangled up with each other. He reached his arm out to stop her just as the birds focused their attention upon their hiding spot. Faye's body was pressed so tightly against Aragorn's that she could feel his heartbeat quicken. They both held their breath and prayed they would not be caught. They could not fail their mission, when not even a full day had passed since it began. After a few moments of heart-wrenching suspense, the flock moved on. It took Aragorn and Faye a few moments to get out of their hiding spot, them being so tangled together. Aragorn got out first, then turned to help Faye up. Faye, not wanting any further contact with the man she had just been pressed so close to quickly got up without his help. Aragorn had a hurt expression on his face, his eyes searched hers for a reason for her refusal to his help. She looked away, Aragorn looked as if he were about to say something but was cut off by Gandalf's announcement.
"Spies of Saruman, The passage south is being watched. We must take the pass of Caradhras." He said in a solem tone.
Faye's heart stopped beating for a few moments. Her blood chilled in her veins. Fear took over her for two reasons. One, she had just encountered Saruman's spies. Memories of her past threatened to take over, but she pushed them away. The second reason for her fear was the pass of Caradhras. – The mountain. With the mountain, like any other mountain... came snow.
Faye quickly brushed away the drops of blood that had formed from the scratches she got from the bushes when she was hiding, and, with a heavy heart turned and followed the others to the pass of Caradhras.
Anyway, so here it is. There are a few more chapters that I've added, so enjoy!
