"Yes, I have. Yet it was only in the shadows and I wasn't for sure."
"What am I doing." Alarkiel said realizing that she was talking to a human and soon turned invisible and flew away leaving the girl by herself.
"I see that she is indeed one of them, What about you?" she said turning to the girl, who looked like a young child. "what is your name if I may ask of it."
"Alaniel, good bye." With that she too turned invisible to follow Alarkiel."
"I wonder what that was about," Strider thought to himself, not thinking about it too much he turned to go back inside to the room with the sleeping hobbits.
Alarkiel flew with speed but she was being followed. She flew harder to go anywhere but here. She finally lost Alaniel a few miles back. These hobbits seem curios they brought an evil she had not felt for what seemed like ages. "Maybe I should follow them" she thought in her head. "Wouldn't be to hard to do plus I could get outside of this country." Alarkiel finally landed in a grassy area she would have to pack, but what to pack she lived in what she wore literally, she stole food or hunted, she slept in trees or on someone's roof. She did not have a home,"Least that Alaniel girl had a home a loving family presumably but what if she was her sister, would that mean she would have no parents like her."
"What have I become." Alarkiel said out loud walking down a road her dark red wings visible dragging on the road now. She spotted a good tree to sleep on flew up and went to sleep she would have to follow the hobbits for sure, it would be a fun adventure for her, with that she went to sleep.
The next morning she set out for the prancing pony when she arrived there Strider and the 4 hobbits Froto, Sam, Merry, and Pippin were going out of the Prancing Pony. They were headed out of Bree. Alarkiel turned invisible and followed. Something was different about one of the hobbits, she knew it but what was it. Maybe they would talk amongst themselves she would have to find out, plus where were they going. Alarkiel followed she didn't have a pack on her back or anything else it was just her and her spear that she kept with her at most times.
"This is going to be fun" Alarkiel said to herself flying just to get it out of herself, she would have to walk most of the journey, using flight as a last option. They were almost at the gate of Bree when Alaniel turned up again. Thankfully she was invisible so no one saw them except each other.
"What are you doing here Alaniel?" Alarkiel said.
"I would ask you the same question." Alaniel said looking ahead at the 4 hobbits and the human.
"I am going on a trip, something is not right with one of the hobbits and my curiosity has taken over." Alarkiel answered even though she had never met this fey before somehow she could trust her, she seemed like family, although she didn't think she had any. "Do you want to come along?" Alarkiel never thought she would ask this of someone but who could stop her, no one.
"I might as well there is nothing else to do" So the two faeries followed the five. And their adventure began….
