A/N: In this chapter i am refrencing one of Nili's characters, Celylith, in this chapter, and later on i'm planning on having him make an apearance. Sorry this chapter took so long, i had to ask Nili if i could borrow Celtlith, so... point being here is the chapter!

Strider came running from the edge of the camp, the light of the little fire barly making it to the water's edge. The water wasn't very deep so he had no trouble seeing what was in the water. "It" looked to be a large cat of some type. With out thinking Strider jumped into the water. Slash!

There was a pause, while the small creature, called a hobbit, eyed the water nervously, wondering if this situaltion called for action of any type. Before the hobbit, named Pippin, had a chance to make up his mind Strider's head popped out of the water, along with the head of...

"What in all the goodness of the Shire is that?" it looked like the head of a cat, but it was huge with markings all over the damp fur. Aragorn didn't both wasting breath answering the hobbit, simply tried to reach the shore with the large cat. The cat seemed to be unconsous, but then it started to thrash about in the water. "Senda!" mumbled Stider, almost to the edge of the small pond. The elvish seemed to calm the cat, and as soon as they were near enough to the shore the cat jumped out of the water. She, as Strider could easily discern, as the cat presented him her rear end and shook off some of the water.

Aragorn pulled himself up on the bank of the water, breathing heavily. "What is it?" Pippin asked, as the strangly marked cat.

Strider didn't bother anwering, he just wanted to make sure the creature he had just rescued was alive. He leaned his very wet head down towords the large feline's mouth. Aragorn sighed so, he could here breathing.

Why? he asked himself had ge saved the life of a giant cat? It could want to eat him as soon as it woke up? This was the type of thing Celylith did, not him! The ranger grinned, he missed Celylith, Legolas's silver haired friend. Celylith was far away, in Mirkwood.

"Strider?" Pippin asked. Pippin was unnerved, first the cat, now Strider grinning? Strider didn't often grin, or smile. "What is it?" Pippin asked.

Aragorn shook his head. "I don't know. A giant cat."

A/N: I think Senda means peace in Quenya, but i don't know if the site i used is trustworthy. If you know a good site to use for elvish words, please leave it in a review. And Miuco means cat
