Chapter Two
The child slowly blinked her eyes and looked around. Aragorn could tell his father was fearful of the child, why he did not know. The twins turned to Legolas who had started to rub at his chest. They grabbed his arms and marched him inside. Elrond did not speak but motioned for his human son to follow him inside. There was a lot to discuss.
Several hours later found them all sitting in Elrond's study. Elrond sat at his desk flicking through a large book. Finally he stopped and looked up.
"The elf you have found is a Moriquendi elf, a dark elf." He started, "I can only guess but I am sure she is of the royal family. There is not much on these elves for they are a secretive and hidden race, but one thing is widely known, they are ruled by a queen who has always had pale silvery hair. This child must be the next queen."
"But she was alone!" Aragorn cried.
"That is why we must protect her, give her a name and teach her of her history." Elrond paused and looked around, "I fear some great evil has befallen the Moriquendi!" he finished.
As the days passed, it was clear the child would only stand the company of mainly Aragorn. Legolas won her favour after a while and finally the twins managed to become her best friends. They gave her the name Isil for the moon. She seemed to love watching it. A truly trying day came when Gandalf came to visit. Isil took one look at the old wizard and ran away screaming. Aragorn followed after her. Legolas and the twins shortly after him. Gandalf came last and rather slowly.
"No…white wizard…stay away!" screamed Isil as she slumped in Aragorn's arms.
"No this is Gandalf, a good wizard." Soothed the man.
"No…no…be brave Rian, nothing will hurt you…Naneth…Ada will save us…"Isil seemed to be remembering things and was talking to herself.
"Who is Rian?" asked Legolas.
"Run Rian…run! Turgan help! He is coming…be quiet Rian, he will take you like he took Nana, shhh I'm here…NO!" here Isil slumped over and seemed to be asleep. Aragorn picked her up and took her to her room. When he returned, Gandalf was talking quietly to Elrond. The twins and Legolas were talking together.
"I am here to warn you that Moriquendi elves have been seen around Rivendale, others seem to be hunting as well. I am sorry I cannot stay but I must warn those in Lothlorien! I wish you well with the child but now I must depart!" and with a rustle of his cloak, the ancient wizard departed.
The next morning Isil never came for breakfast. When she did not turn up for lunch, Aragorn and Legolas went up to her room to check on her. There was no one there. The only trace that someone had been in the room was a lock of silvery hair tied with a black ribbon.
For weeks Aragorn and Legolas searched for Isil. There had been no struggle so they knew she had gone willingly but still they wanted to know where she was. Eventually Elrond called a stop to the search. The moriquendi elves had disappeared again, and eventually Legolas and Aragorn let it rest. Little did they know that they would be tangled in a web of mystery and adventure with the Moriquendi elves in the future years…it started with a scream and two voices crying in fear…
