A/N: Ok my lovelies! Another chapter! But first I must apologize for my stupid mistake! In the last chapter I mentioned Gandalf and Legolas teaching Nicolette, I forgot Gandalf had already fallen in Helm's Deep! I will amend that once I'm done writing and posting this chapter.

I sat in my talen later that night; I had told Lady Galadriel and she had told the fellowship (I still wasn't sure why the hell they even agreed to let me come.) And now was trying to figure out what to say to Anna; before I made my decision I wanted to tell Anna first.

Jade sat beside me, snoring softly, she had grown rapidly over the past few days; she was now to my chest. It was a little scary. Maybe if she had another growth spurt I could ride her, Anna already could.

When I had found the right words to tell her I slowly went into her room where she was playing with her dolls. "Anna? There's something I need to tell you…" I started.

Anna looked up, "What?"

"We are leaving…you remember that movie, Lord of the Rings?" I said.

Anna nodded, "Uh-huh. That one you wouldn't let me watch."

Okay might as well go and tell her straight out, "We're in the Lord of the Rings."

Anna put her hands on her hips, "You're lying!"

I shook my head, "No, see they are elves, and you know the little hobbits? There in the Lord of the Rings, and Lothlorien is a place in Middle-Earth."

Anna looked at me as if I had grown another head, "But that's all fake! Like you told me!"

I sighed, "Well, up until now I thought it was fake."

"So…what are we going to do?" She asked curiously.

I sat down; she instantly crawled in my lap. "Well, we're going with the fellowship."

Anna cocked her head, "But…why?"

I closed my eyes and leaned back on the bedpost, "It's a really long story. Basically I have to get training from Legolas so that way Jade doesn't fry me."

Anna looked so confused I nearly laughed, finally after a long silence she said, "So when do we leave?"

God bless this child. I sighed in relief, "Tomorrow. You had better pack your clothes, pack only the things you need, also make sure that the clothes you pick out are really tough."

Anna nodded then set to work on picking out what she was going to bring.

I smiled, that went easier than expected. I silently left the room.

Jade was still curled up on the couch, snoring. I stared for a moment, either I needed glasses or Jade had grown since I had gone into Anna's room!

"Jade, stand up," I commanded.

Jade opened her emerald eyes; she flicked her tail in irritation. Why?

I think you've grown since I left. I said.

Jade shrugged and decided that she wanted to get up. She stretched and slowly got off the sofa with a groan.

I stood next to her, now she was up to my nose! "Whoa…maybe by the time we have to leave Anna could ride you…"

Jade shrugged, As long as you strap her in, last time the little thing nearly fell off!

I sensed a bit of amusement in her voice, don't get any ideas. I said sternly.

Jade gave me a wide-eyed innocent look.

"Pull the other one, it has bells." (A/N: that means your pulling my leg) I said sarcastically.

Jade rolled her eyes than curled back up and went to sleep. This place makes me sleepy, she commented.

I nodded then went to make sure I had packed everything.

××Legolas POV××

"Explain to me again how we started out with nine people, lost one of the most vital members then picked up a woman, a child and a DRAGON in the way?" Boromir asked Aragorn angrily.

Aragorn looked up from the blade he had been testing, "Peace, Boromir. Though I have my doubts about the child, a dragon and a rider could be useful."

Boromir remained unconvinced, "But a woman? Aragorn it's…wrong! It's unheard of! It's an abomination to bring one of the lower sex with us on a trip that will decide the fate of middle-earth!"

I sat in the shadows of the talen, watching the argument take place. Finally, I had all I could take of Boromir's talk, "Boromir, what has the lady done to offend you? I could understand your anger at bringing a young child with us, but a dragon rider would be something I would rejoice about."

Boromir glared at me, then abruptly shut his mouth.

The only sounds in the room were of this hiss of Aragorn's sword as he did a series of complicated poses and the crackle of the fire.

I sighed, thankful to have peace and quiet.

After a few moments Boromir left to his room, muttering something in a foreign tongue.

I shrugged and began to check my supplies to make sure I had everything.

"You like her do you not, Mellon?" (Friend) Aragorn asked, his eyes never leaving the sword.

I nodded, "She is pleasant company, unlike some of the elleths I know."

Aragorn smiled slightly but said nothing, continuing his practice, "Elven blades are the best in all of Middle-Earth." He said, admiring the craftsmanship of the blade presented to him by Lady Galadriel.

I nodded absently, continuing to count my arrows.

Aragorn must have sensed I had no desire to talk for he said nothing for the rest of the night.

××Nicolette's POV××

I awoke early the next morning, I had not slept much last night but it was enough. I sighed and quickly dressed, I wore a pair of gray jeans and a deep green shirt given to me by Legolas. I walked out to the living room and gaped.

Jade lay sprawled out on the floor, but from tail to her nose she was almost as long as the room!

I stood there, stunned. "Jesus, Jade!" Was all I could say.

Jade slowly opened her eyes. Huh? She enquired sleepily.

Look at yourself!

Jade slowly looked down, she shrugged, we dragons grow quickly.

I smiled sweetly, would it be too much to ask if I took a ride on your back?

Jade smirked, nah, better than having the little youngling who can't hold on.

I smiled, don't get to happy, she'll be riding with you during fights; I want her safe and protected.

Jade groaned but didn't protest.

I roused Anna and we set out for the fellowship's talens.

Legolas opened the door when we arrived. He stared my jeans keenly (I must admit they were a tad bit tight) but said nothing. He looked behind me to see Jade at the base of a tree, he smiled; "I had forgotten how quickly dragon's grow."

I nodded; he invited us into the talen.

Gimli was shrugging on a pack; Sam and Frodo were trying to rouse Merry and Pippin who were asleep on the floor. Aragorn, as well as Boromir were already ready.

Aragorn regarded me with something between coldness, kindness and indifference, "Well, are you ready?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yes, sir." I said meekly.

Boromir looked at me with disgust, he muttered something then left to find something.

"Ignore him, he's just disturbed that such a pretty young maiden will be traveling with him for a while," Legolas whispered in my ear.

God I nearly passed out!

Legolas quickly went to help Sam and Frodo wake Merry, who was still asleep.

Aragorn smiled and shook his head in amusement at Merry. "Those two."

××Ø××

We were at the shore of the river and about ready to go, I had made some minor adjustments on a saddle and had turned it into a perfect fit for Jade, also making a make-shift gun holder for the shot gun.

Boromir looked at the shotgun with disgust, "Lady Nicolette, trivialities are unnecessary baggage. A woman's little play-thing is unnecessary."

I shook my head, "Trust me, after you see what it can do you will not say that."

Boromir looked at me strangely then left to check his supplies.

Lady Galadriel approached us followed by two ladies-in-waiting; both carrying were several random things. Galadriel approached me, "Mae govannen, Nicolette"

I inclined my head slightly since I didn't know how to curtsy or whatever. "Milady." I said quietly.

Galadriel laughed, her laughter was like that of music, "My child, you need not be so formal with me." She smiled

She approached the rest of the group; they all paused and bowed respectfully.

"I have several gifts for you," She said, she spoke to one of her ladies-in-waiting in Elvish.

The young elleth produced a small dagger, she handed it to her mistress than quietly receded.

Galadriel bent down to Anna's level, looking her in the eye, she handed her the dagger; she spoke quietly, "It is my gift to you, little one. It will never dull or break, keep it with you at all times. For you will be in dangerous land."

Anna stared at the dagger in wonder, "Thank you." She said happily. She tucked the dagger in her belt.

Next she moved to Jade, she produced a vial, "This, is Lithia, it will protect you from any spell if you put a drop of it into your water. But use it sparingly, young dragon."

Jade touched Galadriel's forehead with her nose, may the stars shine down upon you and your descendants Lady of the Wood.

I turned to Jade, gaping at her eloquence. I quickly relayed the message to Lady Galadriel. She handed the vial to me so Jade wouldn't break it in her powerful talons.

She smiled, "Rim hannaid, dragon."

She then moved to Aragorn and the others, giving gifts and advice to each.

She approached me, she took a sword from her maid, "And this is Gûd. It will never harm the wielder, but woe to those who oppose you."

I smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Lady Galadriel."

Galadriel smiled. "A pleasure, my child. Namárië." Galadriel departed, her white skirt trailing behind her.

I stared at the sword in wonder; it was beautiful! There was an inscription on it; I was somewhat fluent in Elvish. I deciphered roughly:

I'm Gûd, foe to my master's enemies. Beware of my sting!

Now that was cool.

"Come, time to leave!" Aragorn shouted. He helped the hobbits into the boat. Boromir, Legolas, Gimli and Anna were in the other.

Aragon called to me, "Can you ride the dragon?" He asked.

I looked at Jade for reassurance. She nodded. "Yes, sir."

Aragorn nodded, "Good. You shall scout for us. If you see any foul creatures alert us."

I nodded and climbed onto Jade who stood taller than a horse. I held onto the reins, which weren't really there for guidance but for a grip.

Jade looked back at me. Hold on tight! She said. She began to flap her now massive wings. She slowly began to rise into the air.

I giggled nervously. Feeling exhilarated.

With a burst of energy Jade quickly began to move forward. In almost no time she was over a 400 yards ahead of them, I looked back to see Legolas shouting.

"Don't get to ahead!" Legolas cupped his hands and shouted.

I waved back at him to signal I heard. "Slow down!" I commanded Jade.

She grudgingly slowed her pace, I was having fun, she grumbled.

I patted her neck, "Sorry." I murmured. I looked down at the beautiful Mellyn trees. I could see up the river, towards the horizon I could dimly make out to tiny gray figures. I assumed they were the two kings; I hadn't seen the movie in awhile so my memory was somewhat sketchy. I spent the next few hours enjoying the leisurely ride, but I still managed to keep a look out along the shores and in the woods.

See anything? I asked Jade.

Jade shook her head.

I looked down at the clear river. I saw Anna sitting meekly in the corner, looking somewhat afraid. Poor thing, if she was frightened by this; wait till she saw the orcs!

Oh crap, the Uruk-Hai! I needed to keep a close watch on Anna; she might be mistaken for a hobbit! I pushed the thought out of my mind; right now the best thing I could do would be to keep a good watch. I did a mental run-through of every battle scene and memorable check point in the story. I came to one conclusion: I had definitely lost my mind; I had blindly taken my little sister and my untrained and slightly cocky dragon into one of the worst wars of all time!

Relax, I am part of you, therefore I have the same knowledge of this place that you do. And I have my instincts; I will protect both you and your youngling. Jade said reassuringly.

I relaxed slightly; I did have a dragon, a shotgun, a sword and about 5000 years knowledge on them. Perhaps I might be able to make it out with my life.

I sighed, "I guess we've past the point of no return."
