Please Read, Review and I hope you are enjoying the story so far.

The journey had been long and all Draco really wanted at the moment was a nice hot bath and maybe even a hot meal. Compared to the rest of her companions, she was the silent one. However the female elf who was leading her to her room began leading her down a different hallway compared to that of her companions who were following a different elf to their rooms. She could hear their confusion as well but was unable to hear the response they were receiving by the elf they were following. Sensing Draco's confusion the female elf gave her a friendly smile. "Your room is this way little one. Do not worry about your friends, they are being lead to their own rooms as well." She said with a warm friendly smile. The female elf had long light brown hair pulled neatly back in a long braid and dark brown eyes. She was also wearing a pale blue elven dress.

"Okay but why is my room away from those I'm traveling with?" Draco asked in suspicion. She highly doubt it had anything to do with the fact she was the only girl amongst her male companions. Since refused to call the group she was traveling with anything more than that.

"Lady Arwen, told us when you arrive that you would be given the guest room directly across from her own." The female elf said with a smile as they continued walking.

Is it too late to turn and leave this place? Draco thought bitterly to herself as she followed her guide to her room as she tried to ignore the stares she was receiving from all around her.

"Yes...besides...Think of it this way. You get to pick on Strider's lover some more as well as himself." The voice purred in her ear in evil amusement as her left eye began twitching again.

You're not helping! Draco spat back at the voice that only gave her a low chuckle before falling silent once more. While they walked towards the room Draco silently took in the bueatiful elven home of Lord Elrond and the scenery outside the mass windows. This place seemed so peaceful and yet Draco knew it woud be only a matter of time before tradegegy struck this place. After all she was cursed to be Death's puppet or his mortal counterpart. Either way she hoped they did not have to remain here long. The sooner this silly quest was over, the sooner she could return back to normal. Now all she needed was that old man who claimed to be a wizard to show back up again. The very same wizard who ditched them.

"You are very quiet, young one. Is something troubling you?" The female elf asked in concern. In all her years she never seen or delt with such a silent human child, especially one who appeared so distant. Than again it had been centuries since she last delt with children.

"No...just tired from a long journey." Draco said speaking half truthfully.

"Do you wish for me to carry you?" She asked Draco.

"No." Draco said firmly as she resisted the urge to bare her teeth at the woman as she snapped harshly at her. Draco was trying to be as polite as possible but she did not wish to be treated as a child. She might have been turned into one, but that didn't mean anything to her. She was still an adult, despite her current appearence.

Where the hell is that old man? I swear I'll kill him myself if he forgets to come back to us! Draco snarled deeply inside her mind.

"Relax, the wizard will return in time. Besides I can smell him, he's here. " The voice hissed in her mind.

"What is your name little one, and where are your parents?" the woman asked her as it pulled her attention away from the voice inside her mind.

"My name is Draco and my parents...they are dead." Draco said without a hint of emotion making the woman stop to look at her in disbelief. "Look I do not need any words of comfort or condolences. Death is something no one can avoid. You also did not know, so do not blame yourself for asking such a question. Also i'm not allowed to fully speak of my past, due to the fact Gandalf asked me not to say anything. All you need to know is that I'm currently traveling with him but he asked Frodo to look after me until he returns. Nothing more and nothing less."

The woman than startled her when she suddenly pulled her into a hug. "Your soul is crying but you do not show any sighns of your greif...it's not healthy to keep it all bottled in." Draco said nothing as she narrowed her eyes at her in a cold gare as she resisted the temptation of making them shift in appearance to scare this woman away. She did not like being touched, but she knew in the far back of her mind that elves were soft hearted creatures that showed their emotions more easily than humans did. However elves were also cunning, they could be professional tricksters if needed and they were sly if she remembered correctly. Draco reluctantly returned the hug in hopes the woman would release her. This felt very awkward to her and it made her very uncomfortable.

The woman released her and Draco released her just as quickly. Soon the woman began leading her the rest of the way much to Draco's relief. "Since you know my name, may I know yours?" Draco asked so she knew which elf to avoid in the future if she ever visited this place again.

"I'm Luna." The woman said softly with a smile as she came to stop and opened a door. "This is your room little one." She said as she opened the door revealing a huge bedroom with it's own bathroom that was attatched to it that was just as huge. The room was bueatiful and fit for someone of royal blood or rich life style for someone in the dark ages. Draco blinked when Luna suddenly disappeared into the bathroom and began to get her bath ready. "I'll get your bath ready for you and than i'll bring you some new clothes."

"Okay..." Draco said blinking as Luna than smiled at her.

"I wish your hair was longer so I could braid it for you. You're going to look so adorable in your new dress." Luna said with a smile as continued to get things ready as she turned to focus her attention back to what she was doing.

"Wait...did you say dress?" Draco asked as she hoped she had heard wrong.

"Yes a brand new dress would fit you nicely." Luna said as she ever noticed Draco's look of complete horror as the realization sank in. Draco tuned out whatever else was luna was saying as she was ranting angrily inside her own head while trying to keep herself from doing anything drastic. She soon pulled herself together as she tried to pay attention to what Luna was saying.

"Dressing like a boy is fine when you are in the wilderness, but you are a young lady so you need to dress like one or else you will be mistaken for a boy for the rest of your life." Luna said firmly as she finished what she was doing before she turned to face Draco. Completely unaware how Draco was having a very hard time holding herself back so she would not to kill her or do something stupid and trying very hard to keep a straight emotionless face at the same time.

"Now go an enjoy your bath...it will only be a moment." Luna said as she walked passed Draco who looked ready to end her existancee at that very moment. If Luna truely saw Draco's expression that slipped when she was not looking, Luna honestly would have screamed in pure fear and would have ran away for her very life.

Draco twitched violently as Luna left the room. I fucken hate dresses and skirts...however I suppose just this once I can over look it. However the dress better not be fucken pink, frilly or anything overly girly looking. Or else their will be hell to pay and where the fuck is the old fossil anyway! Her mind screamed in rage as she quickly got undressed. However remembering the one ring she quickly grabbed it from her pants pocket and shoved it into her travel bag for now. Just incase a servent took her dirty clothes and went to wash them.

Draco than quickly got into the bathtub of hot soapy water. Almost insteantly she began to relax in the hot soapy water. She than began scrubbing all the dirt, grime, and grease out of her hair as well as off her body in a frenzy. She hated being outdoors with a passion, hense the reason why she never liked camping or sports all that much. It wasn't long before a knock on the bathroom door startled her.

"Little one, I have placed your new clothes onto your bed. After you're dressed, Lord Elrond wishes to see you." Luna said in a cheerful voice. "Would you like me to help you?"

Draco slumped further down into the water as she began to mutter angrily under the water's surface making a few bubbles to form. Oh how she wanted to kill someone or something at that very moment. The voice inside her mind laughed loudly at her misfortune which made her snarl in rage under the water's surface. The burning sensation that flashed across her heart once more at the same time that strange sensation of something moving just under her skin made her flinch in pain and grip her chest. She glanced down only to see the soft orange glow over her heart again. The sooner she saw a healer the better. "Little one?" Luna asked in concern when she got no response.

"I can dress myself, but thanks for the offer." Draco said. Luna gave a sigh of defeat.

"Okay...I'll wait just outside your room so I can take you to Lord Elrond." Draco let out a very soft sigh of relief when she heard Luna leave the room.

"That damn thing better not be pink or frilly looking." Draco hissed as she finished up with her bath before she got out of the bath and began drying herself off. She wrapped the towel around herself before entering her bedroom with dread. Their on her bed was a simple pale green color crush velvet elvish dress. It was bueatiful in appearance but dresses were just not Draco's style. With groan she quickly got dressed. She than looked at her reflection in a mirror. Her hair was a mess. Reaching inside her travel bag she managed to find the hair brush she bought around the same time she bought a few items with Frodo. She began drying her hair and trying to get her hair more presentable looking. However her hair had always been a difficult thing to deal with since it always fought back.

With an annoyed growl after trying and failing to straighten her hair out, she left it for a lost cause. She slowly approached her bedroom door and opened it. Luna stood there smiling at her and suddenly gave a soft laugh when she noticed Draco's messy and untamed hair. "Your hair...little one...reminds me of a hedgehog." She said trying to be polite as possible as she looked at how spikey and untamed Draco's hair looked at that very moment. Draco's left eye twitched violently at her words. It was so not her fault that her hair had grown a bit longer since she been in this world, at a unusual faster pace than normal. It also did not help that her hair had a tendency to be difficult.

Yep...I'm going to gain a permeant eye twitch after this is all over. Draco thought to herself as Luna lead her back into the bedroom and made her sit down.

"Allow me to straighten out your hair." Luna said as she took Draco's hair brush and tried to flatten her hair down.

"Good luck..." Draco said bitterly as she winced at how rough Luna was to her hair even though she was trying to be as gentle as possible. It was no surprise when Luna failed just as miserably as Draco had at trying to tame it. Luna gave up when she relised she was only making Draco's messy untamable hair even worse if that was even possible. Draco sat there looking at her hair with irritation.

"It will have to do..." Luna said with a soft sigh. Before she began leading Draco towards Lord Elrond's room. Draco was silent as she followed after luna. She was trying her hardest to keep from showing how irritated and annoyed she was about wearing a dress and how her hair now looked like she was wearing porcupine on top of her head or something. She could see a few elves trying to keep straight faces when they saw her hair, however some were unable to keep from laughing at the sight.

They soon arrived at lord Elrond's room. He was speaking quietly with Strider when they suddenly noticed them. Strider had to bite the inside of his mouth to keep himself from laughing at her. She clearly looked miserable in the dress and her hair was rather amusing to see. She insteantly gave him a cold glare almost daring him to say something to her.

"Don't you look as addorible as a baby hedgehog?" Strider asked her in evil amusement as he approached her. She growled low under her breath at his words.

"I tried to get her hair more presentable but it fought back." Luna said softly.

"Not my fault my hair is difficult..." Draco muttered under her breath as it went unheard.

"It's fine..I think it suits her." Strider said as he than gently ruffled her hair as she let out a loud inhuman like snarl at him. A snarl that Lord Elrond had heard only once before and a snarl that made poor luna jump in alarm.

Draco than gave Strider a slow terrifying smie that promised a very slow painful death. "If you do not wish to be bitten, I suggest you stop messing up my hair." Draco hissed as she made her eyes shift in appearance as she glared up at him. Strider wisely moved his hand away from her hair incase she carried out her threat to bite him.

"Be nice...Draco." a very familiar voice said making draco's head snap to the owner of the voice making her snarl loudly and bare teeth at him as she snarled deeply. Galdalf slowly revealed himself. He frowned when he saw Draco's eyes and how she was snarling deeply at him. "i appologise for being so late."

Draco was about say something harsh but fell silent when she noticed how bad Gandalf appeared to look. "You look like you been in one hell of a bar fight and lost badly, old man." Draco said bluntly as she took in his injuries. True she was still angry with Gandalf for ditching them earlier but she would bide her time before she sought out her revenge.

"Behave yourself...young one. That is no way to speak to your elders. I know you no longer have parents but surely they taught you mannors." Luna scolded with a frown.

"It's quite alright...Draco was just exspressing her concerns the best way she knows how. She did not have an easy life especially after she lost her family...and she is very unfamiliar with her own emotions for being alone for so long with no one to really trust." Gandalf said.

"Forgive me young one, I keep forgetting how young you really are." Luna said. Draco said nothing as she stared at her before she let out a irritated sigh.

"It's fine." She grumbled bitterly only to blink as Lord Elrond appeared in front of her to stare into her eyes as they slowly shifted in appearance back to their normal appearance.

"Luna can you please go and see if the feast is ready?" Lord Elrond asked as he turned to look at her.

"Of course lord Elrond." Luna said as she turned to leave. Strider stood there for a moment before Lord Elrond told him to go get cleaned up. He glanced at Gandalf and than to Draco. It was clear Strider wanted to know more about Draco's condition but he did not voice how he wished to stay. He turned and left the room leaving Gandalf and Lord Elrond with Draco.

Once Strider and Luna were out of the room Lord Elrond turned to face Gandalf. "My old friend..you have some exsplaining to do...especially by bringing a child who is-"

"Her story is complicated Lord Elrond...Even I do not know her full story...but what I do know is that she is the one. The one born with the gift or curse as most see it as. However the fact that his soul was not absorbed but allowed it self to latch onto her own is very troubling. I fear he will return to claim the mountain once more using her to do so." Gandalf spoke in a grim voice as he leaned on his staff.

"Hello...confused human over here. Care to clue me in on this, since I know your talking about me!?" Draco asked only to be ignored.

"But how?! He died...the black arrow...there is just no way his soul could have been lingering around for so long after death. He would have come back as a ghostly Spector unable to interact fully with the living without a medium to have summoned him." Lord Elrond said as he looked deeply troubled as Draco gave a frustrated sigh of annoyance.

"Hello?! Have you two forgotten I'm still here?! Stop ignoring me!" Draco yelled as she was ignored some more.

"It would seem he is not as dead as we first thought or believed he was. She is connected to him...and I fear it's only a matter time before we learn what she really is or until her destiny is fully revealed." Gandalf said.

"Uh guys... you know i'm still here right?" Draco asked in annoyance as she glared at the two men.

"Ara-I mean Strider has told me she has been showing sighs of a weird illness, a orange light over her very heart..."

"That is no illness...my friend...but rather the connection between the two of them." Gandalf said in a knowing tone. "She was named dragon for a a reason and I believe I know know why. However I would have to track down-"

"You can't be serious...Gandalf! He would never speak to any of us or anyone. His voice alone can destroy an entire city because of what he is, also there is no proff he is still alive or of anyone who has been taught in those forgotten skills. Those skills are not easily mastered nor can they be taught easily for they are a much older form of magic. A form of magic, I must remind you Gandalf that is far older than middle earth it self." Lord Elrond said with a frown.

Draco threw her hands up into the air since she was clearly being ignored and sat down in a chair to simply wait until they clued her in. The voice growled in irritation inside her head.

"He will speak to us...well...most likely to her when the time comes if he still lives. Even if he's not alive...he would have left some form of instructions of how to help train her." Gandalf said. "Also with how far she has been in darkness...I can't say I wont be surprised if she is what I suspect she is." Gandalf said.

"She would be highly unstable Gandalf, if you are correct about what she is and what is her destiny." Lord Elrond said with frown.

"Which is why we need to keep her away from the Misty Mountains and especially Lake Town. To make sure he can not return." Gandalf said.

" Yes, but you have forgotten one thing. He can still transform her to do his bidding. "

"That is why a seal, will need to be set in place." Gandalf said in a knowing tone. Lord Elrond closed his eyes briefly before he looked at Draco.

"In case she is unable to suppress him on her own, who will the one in charge of the seal?" Lord Elrond asked.

"It will have to be an elf. Who ever agrees to join the quest to destroy the one ring." Gandalf said in a grim tone once more. Lord Elrond stared hard at Gandalf.

"I do not like the fact that I must leave the young child in such a condition until an elf is chosen to be the seal's keeper. I also can not say I'm too happy your putting such a young child in danger like this, by allowing her to go on this quest."

"I know but there is no other choice, besides she would only follow us on this quest. It's safer to just let her come along than to have her following us on her own." Gandalf said.

To be continued...
