Chapter Two: Going To Rivendel and Meeting Lord Whats-a-rond

Tanya stiffled a yawn as our favorite group stumbled through the foliage of the woods.

''Are we there yet?''asked Bianca

''No, obviously. And why are you asking me?''

''Because no one else understands me,'' Bianca said.'' So, are we there yet?''

''No.''

''Are we there yet?''

''NO! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS SILENT AND GOOD! NO WE ARE NOT THERE YET!''Tanya yelled.

''Touchy.''

The girl rolled her eyes and continued to mumble about annoying sisters, just as they reached a shallow river.

''Fear not, little ones, we have reached the border of Lord Elrond's realm.''

Just as they were comming closer to the other side of the river, they noticed a small figuer on the ground and the white mare standing next to it.

''Mr. Frodo!''the chubby hobbit called out and hurried over to his friend.

''Man, to be that heavy set the boy sure can run,''Bianca pointed out as she and her sister hurried over the rest of the group.

He was unconscious by this time and the blonde man lifted him up and ran swiftly into the woods to get to a healer.

''It will be another three hours before we reach Rivendel,''Strider informed them.

''Three hours!''One of the other hobbits complained.

''One, if you prefer to run.''

''Three hours it is!'' the blonde hobbit chirped in for all of them.

The sun was just setting as a man, three hobbits, and two girls came upon a clearing. In the distance, they could see a great fortress, sitting atop lush sloping lawns. The entire area seemed to glow and had a calming aura about it.

''Nice,''Bianca breathed and her sister could only knod in agreement.

They walked towards the fortress and were at it's doors in no time at all. There were many people walking around the grounds and the gardens, but that all changed when they laid eyes on the twins. They just kept staring and it made Tanya even more nervous than she already was. On the other hand, Bianca just gave them dirty looks so that they would turn away. Every person was more beautiful than the next, but something was odd about them.

''Uh, do you think that its some sort of birth defect for them to all have pointed ears?''Bianca asked her sister.

''Maybe,''she said with a shrug.

Strider lead the group down a series of corridors until the stopped at large, double doors made of polished wood. He knocked on the door and then entered. A man that looked to be no older than thirty, sat at a large desk, surrounded by ink bottles and stacks of paper. Behind him were shelves holding rows and rows of literature.

The man's chestnut hair was in intricate braids and seemed to be almost waist length. His dark eyes held widom and his face showed no emmotion.

''Estel, I see that you are back already,''he said, his voice was smoothe and his words were precise.

''Yes, adar,''Strider replied with a short bow. ''I have brought extra company along.''

''I see,''the man said, looking the twins over.

They were tall for mortal women and quite slim. Their skin was an odd color of dark honey and they were dressed in foreign form of men's garb. He had never seen mortal women wear braids like the elves.

Even by elven critique they were very pretty, but mischief danced in their hazel eyes.

''Welcome to Rivendale, I am Lord Elrond.''

''Did I just hear him say that he wanted me to show him my underwear?''Bianca asked her sister and Tanya put her head in her hands, too exhausted to reprimand the girl next to her.

Well, thanks for the reviews! I did have one little problem with a certain review. Like one of my other reviewers had noted, African-Americans come in all different shapes, sizes and colors so not all of them are dark in color and it was sort of offensive to compare us to orcs.

Review! Review! Review!
