----------

Legolas walked through the woods gathering wood for the fire he and his companions were going to build for the night. Traveling from Mirkwood was a tortuous one, but that never stopped him. However, Rivendell was less than a day away, and it was now safe to build the fire they had wanted many nights ago.

Legolas pushed some branches aside, and came across a clearing. What he found shocked him to no end. There was a woman lying on the ground unconscious.

"Andion! Come quickly!" Legolas shouted to one of his companions, and raced towards the woman, dropping the wood along the way. Legolas reached the woman, and quickly tried to assess her injuries. He wrapped her in his cloak, covering her torn clothes and blood-covered body. In a quick study, Legolas noted her long black hair, finely arched brows and high cheekbones. She was going to be quite pretty once she was cleaned up and all those ragged hairs were put into place in her braid again.

His companions quickly arrived at the scene and saw Legolas over a woman's body. Andion ran over to them and knelt on the other side of her.

"What happened here?" Andion's shocked remark echoed slightly as he looked over the body.

"Are we too late for her, Legolas?" Malachi, the other elf guard asked.

"No. She lives yet, though that fact alone amazes me." Legolas picked the girl up in his arms, surprised a bit that such a small and slender frame could be as heavy as she felt. "She has a serious injury to the back of her head. Though I see no major rocks around. She needs Kingsfoil quickly. Malachi go get some and mix it with water. Andion get an extra bedroll ready for her." Andion and Malachi quickly set out to do what their prince asked of them. Legolas looked down at the woman in his arms, and sighed. "Please I am here to help you, do not die on me."

---------

Legolas sat next to the woman. He had brought her back to camp, and cleaned her wounds, but she still did not wake. It had been nearly three hours, since they found her. Legolas feared the worst, and if they did not get her the proper attention soon she would die.

"My prince... What shall we do?" Legolas looked to Andion and shook his head.

"We need to get her to Elrond. He is the only one that can help her now." Legolas watched the young mortal woman, she was breathing, but he had never seen anyone with this type of odd clothing. 'Where did she come from? Who was she?' All these questions were running through his brain, and he could not answer them.

----------

Her head was pounding. She never felt anything like this. Enid tried to open her eyes, but she found that she couldn't. After a few minutes Enid began to get the feeling back in her body. She felt no severe pain only a slight discomfort on the back of her head. She slowly opened her eyes and closed them because of the bright light. She brought her hand to face and covered them as she opened the again and slowly adjusted to the light. She moved her hand away and saw she wasn't in the hospital but in a beautiful room. She looked around with her eyes and saw a man standing to her left.

She furrowed her brow because he looked extremely familiar but she couldn't place where. The man looked up from her penetrating eyes and at someone at the right of the bed. She followed his eyes and saw a beautiful woman with long dark hair who also looked very familiar. Enid scanned the woman's face trying to figure out where she knew her from when she noticed something. Her ears were pointed. She looked back at the man and his ears were normal. She closed her eyes when the man spoke. Where was she?

"Milady, are you feeling well?" the man asked as he looked at Enid with concern. She looked up at the man and then the woman who was smiling at her. Enid felt comfort with these people and she couldn't figure out why, the man brought a peace to her.

"I'm fine." Enid sat up slowly because her ribs hurt.

"You must be careful. You were badly injured when you were found," the woman said. Her voice was unlike anything she ever heard it was soft, almost like music.

"Can you tell me where I am?" Enid looked at them both with questioning eyes.

"Milady, you are in the house of Lord Elrond in Rivendell," the man said. Enid's eyes grew wide and she knew she had to be dreaming.

"I'm sorry, where did you say I was? I don't think I heard you right, I thought you said Lord Elrond." Enid said as she looked at the man.

"I did milady."

"I will go get my father. He would like to check on you." The woman left the room.

"I have to be dreaming. It's a fictional place, it doesn't exist." Enid said as she looked the man square in the eye.

"I assure you milady, this is no dream, and the house of Elrond truly does exist. Perhaps you suffered greater injuries and have forgot-" Enid slammed her hand on the bed stopping the ranger from continuing.

"I have not forgotten anything! Rivendell is a place in a trilogy story call 'The Lord of the Rings.' It doesn't exist! It just doesn't!" She was yelling when a man with long dark hair and a man with a long white beard entered the room. She looked at the three men in front of her and shook her head. She put her head in her hands as she shook her head. She looked up and studied the three men before her. She knew who they were without even asking there names. Aragorn was the man she'd been talking with and Lord Elrond and Gandalf just entered the room."This can't be real. I must be unconscious or in a coma from falling off of my horse. That is the only explanation." She looked at the wizard and it was if he knew something.

"My child, this is no story and I can assure you that you are indeed awake and alive. You have been brought here for a specific reason." The wizard's eyes sparkled as he said his words to her and for some unknown reason she believed him.

"Gandalf, how can this be?" Both Lord Elrond and Aragorn were surprised by this woman calling the wizard by his name when she was never told it. Gandalf just smiled at her.

"That shall be revealed in due time my dear." Gandalf said to her, and Enid knew right off that he was hiding something.

"How did you know his name?" Aragorn asked with an amazed look on his face. Gandalf chuckled and all three looked at him.

"Do not worry Aragorn. She knows more than you think. She knows the events that will take place in the future and she knows the fate of all of Middle Earth." Lord Elrond just nodded his head, in understanding. "However, we must keep the fact of her knowledge between the three of us. No one else must know that she knows the fate of us all."

Enid was at a loss for words. She had no idea that Gandalf knew of her and that she knew the story of the ring. She sighed with relieve that only the three of them would know. However something was still nagging at her brain. Why was she here? Enid knew that Gandalf had that answer.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation about me, but I really want to know why I'm here, and how do I get home?" Enid was getting really annoyed that she was getting no where with these people.

"Perhaps you and I should have a moment by ourselves... hum..." Gandalf said looking at both Aragorn and Lord Elrond. Reluctantly they both left the room, and Gandalf turned back to Jinnelle. "Now what I am about to tell you Enid may be quiet shocking. But keep an open mind."

Enid looked at Gandalf with skepticism in her eyes, but nodded her head, and waited for him to continue.

"I knew you when you were born Enid. I helped deliver you. Your mother wanted the very best for you, as did your father, always remember that." Gandalf took a deep breathe and closed his eyes remembering that day as if it was yesterday. "Your mother Lady Gilraen was the fairest of the mortal race. Her first husband was Arathorn..."

"Wait... I know this story. Gilraen was Arathorns wife, they gave birth to a son Aragorn, who is a descendant of Ilsidur himself. Why..." Enid interrupted Gandalf, but he would not let her finish.

"Patience my dear child. Yes, Aragorn is the son of Gilraen and Arathorn. After Arathorn died Gilraen left Aragorn to be raised by Lord Elrond, and than she disappeared. No one knew where she went or if she was even alive. However she was alive. Years after Aragorn was born, about fifteen I believe it was, your mother came to me. She informed me that she was pregnant, and that she was already eight months along. When I questioned her who the father was she told me Eonwë." Gandalf watched the confusion on Enid's face turn right into shock. "Eonwë is a maiar of Manwë. She told me that she loved him very much and from that love you were conceived."

Enid could not believe what she was hearing. She was a daughter of a mortal woman and a god type thing. She shook her head, and couldn't bring her self to understand what Gandalf was saying.

"Haven't you ever wondered why you were different in your world Enid. Do you not do things that normal people in your world would call odd?" Gandalf asked her, and he watched her nod her head, and so he decided to continue his story. "Your birth was a long and difficult one. Your mother and your father were there. But even with your fathers powers your mother could not be saved. She passed as you took your first breathe." Enid felt tears escape from her eyes as Gandalf spoke of her mother. "Your father Eonwë named you Enid, but asked if you would send you to a place where you could be untouched by evil, a place where you would be safe. So I sent you to Earth."

"So my father didn't want me, so you put me in that home?" Enid questioned him, but knew that she was only taking out her frustration out on an innocent. "So... Aragorn is my brother?"

"Half brother yes. He does not yet know that you even existed he thought his mother long dead. We will need to break this too him lightly Enid. It will be a shock for him as it was for you." Enid nodded her head, and laid back down on the bed. She turned her back to Gandalf, and he sighed, but took the hint that she wanted to be alone. So he left to talk to Legolas, Elrond, and Aragorn.
