Hey everyone! So this is one of my older stories that I found backed up on a disk the other day…I re-read it and I thought it was HILARIOUS…okay maybe you won't find it as funny as I did but yeah… I wrote it in grade 8, so some of the writing and stuff might not be up-to-par with my modern day masterpieces. So enjoy! AND PLEASE REVIEW!

Chapter 1 - Setting off on an Adventure

Daniel Frolick was your average teenage 13333 year old Elf. He had brown hair and was super good with a bow. He lived in a little Elven town called Rivendell along with his two friends: Garrett and Jeremy. They were all the same age and elves. They all had the hots for a certain elf called Arwen, although they knew they'd never get her cause of Aragorn, a human who was taken in by Lord Elrond. Anyways, that's not the point. One day, Daniel was in his Elf Magic class, a class teenage elves take in the Halls of Learning to learn special abilities. He was sitting with his friend Garrett.

"So did you hear about the nine black riders roaming around aimlessly?" Garrett asked Daniel.

"Well yeah, but I heard that they're all looks and actually quite retarded." Daniel whispered back. Garrett thought for a long hard moment.

"I dunno, I heard they came all the way from the land of Mordor." Garrett replied. "Plus, they are journeying to the Shire to look for a Hobbit that has the one ring!"

"How do you know all this? If it's from Jeremy it's probably his schizophrenia that kicked into his head. Or as he says, his "Visions"." Daniel said.

"It wasn't from him, I overheard a wizard talking to Lord Elrond." Garrett said. "I was sneaking around the palace."

"Really!" Daniel said, surprised. "I hope Rivendell doesn't get involved. I have too much of a Social Life, I can't let some War ruin it. Even if it does mean the end of the world." He said. After that, their teacher got mad at them, and they were silent for the rest of the class.

After classes were over, Daniel and Garrett left the Halls of Learning and found themselves in the streets of Rivendell. They met up with Jeremy.

"GUYS! COME SEE THIS!" Jeremy said.

"Jeremy, I have no time for your visions, I have to go gawk at Arwen." Garrett said, as he left.

"You're just jealous!" Jeremy yelled to Garrett as he walked off. "This time, it's not a vision! Daniel, will you come see?" He asked. How could Daniel get away from this one.

"Uhh, I can't.. I have to-"

"GREAT!" Jeremy said, dragging Daniel by the arm through the city. Soon, they found themselves in the Realm of Elrond.

"What are we doing here?" Daniel asked.

"You'll see! Master Elrond wants to talk to us!" Jeremy said, proud. They headed through the halls of the wonderful house. Soon, they arrived in front of Elrond's chambers. Daniel prepared himself for being humiliated by one of Jeremy's stupid acts. Jeremy knocked on the door. Soon a tall elf with long dark hair and rich red robes appeared at the door.

"Hello." Elrond said. "Please come in." He said. Daniel stared in aw. It was an honour to get an invitation to Master Elrond's. They walked in, and sat in two chairs. While Elrond sat on another one across from them. "I am sending you on a journey." He said. "You are to go to the Shire and warn Frodo Baggins of the nine Ringwraiths that are coming to attack him!"

"Why do they want him?" Daniel asked curiously.

"I can't tell you at the moment." Elrond said. "You will find out soon enough. Just say they're coming for Bilbo's precious. Hopefully he'll get the clue."

"Why are you sending us?" Jeremy asked. "We're not even fully trained in the Elven arts."

"Cause this journey is hopeless and you'll probably die and we can't afford to loose any good Elves." Elrond said quickly. "I mean. this will help you learn in your travelling abilities. But you must tell no one." He replied. Daniel looked at him suspiciously. "Now go! We can't afford you guys breaking anything else- I mean, GO! There is little time to waist."

So Daniel and Jeremy left, and packed for their journey to the Shire. When they were packing, Garrett came over to see what they were up to.

"Whatcha doin'?" He asked.

"We're on a quest for Master Elrond to go find Frodo Baggins." Jeremy said. Garrett rolled his eyes.

"Great, now Jeremy's schizophrenia is spreading to Daniel." He said, observing Daniel packing.

"No it's true." Daniel said. "You should come with us. But don't tell anyone!" Garrett agreed. Soon they were packed and were heading out of Rivendell. Once they were leaving, their friend Nicole noticed them.

"HEY GUYS! Where are you going?" She asked, noticing their packs.

"Uh, nowhere." Daniel lied.

"Actually we're going on a quest for Master Elrond." Jeremy said. Garrett elbowed him.

"JEREMY! We aren't supposed to tell anybody!" Daniel yelled. Jeremy shrugged.

"OH CAN I COME?" Nicole said excitedly. "Master Elrond is my Magic Class teacher and I'm not doing too well in it. Maybe it can boost my grades!" She said excitedly.

"Fine." Garrett said.

"Just don't tell anyone! Go pack your things!" Daniel said.

"I'll be fine. It'll be a good excuse on why I have to buy new clothes." Nicole replied. "Let's go!"

So the four of them set off on an adventure. Daniel had his bow and arrows, Garrett had a long sword, Nicole had a dagger, and Jeremy had two short swords for each hand. Daniel had a dark green cloak, Garret's was brown, Nicole's was dark purple, and Jeremy's was dark blue. They all wore tunics. So they left the gates of Rivendell, on one journey that they will never forget.
