Chapter 1

Previously:

One year after Bilbo reached the Shire, a year and a half since the end of the Battle of the Five Armies Perci sighed, sitting back in her throne. She had arrived back in Atlantis a few months ago with the lions, statues, thestrals, and Draco and was enjoying the peace and quiet as she nursed her broken heart.

She had looked for Legolas after the battle but could not find him. She had asked Tauriel where he had gone, but she had not known either. Then she had gone to Thranduil, only to be informed that he had left to travel, to where Thranduil had not known.

Perci had chosen when healing Kili on Ravenhill and seeing the utter heartbreak and pain Tauriel had experienced at the thought of losing Kili and had not wanted Legolas to experience the same. Perci had chosen to stay in Middle Earth but the one she had stayed for seemed to not want her any longer.

But she couldn't mope about it any longer because right at that moment, Kiara, one of the lionesses, came into the throne room.

"My lady, strangers have been sighted traveling through the forest and towards the cave."

Perci stood and began to walk out of the throne room and towards the bridge.

"Do we have a count, Kiara?"

"About thirty, my lady."

"Be they orcs?!" Perci exclaimed, but knew that that was impossible. Orcs and goblins did not know the location of Atlantis.

"No, my lady," Kovu said, appearing and trotting at her other side. "Gandalf the Gray and Radagast the Brown was spotted amongst the group."

Perci paused midstep before continuing on.

"If that is the case, then begin preparing a feast. It seems that we are going to be having guests. I shall go and greet them at the mouth of the cave."

A short time later, Perci stood where the cave met the forest and watched as Gandalf came through the thick trees first. He slowly came to a halt at the sight of her, which caused the beings following him to move to the side to avoid running into his back.

Perci couldn't help but smile as she got a look at whom had followed Gandalf and Radagast to her door step.

"Welcome, Gandalf the Gray, Radagast the Brown. Welcome Lord Elrond and his children, as well as Lord Celeborn and Lord Glorfindel. Welcome, Beorn. And Welcome Thorin Oakenshield and his Company."

And although her heart still pinged with hurt and sadness over Legolas and not being able to see her family ever again, seeing almost all of the friends that she had made in Middle Earth so far, on her front doorstep practically, made it all worth it.

And when they all saw what exactly inhabited Atlantis, well, Perci had never wished more for a camera then in that moment. Their expressions = priceless.

Now:

Perci smiled, looking out from her balcony that overlooked her kingdom. Although she still disliked outsiders and refused to tell or let any bring strangers to Atlantis, Atlantis had seen some changes in the past sixty years.

For one, it wasn't just her and her creatures that inhabited and lived around Atlantis. There were some Dunedain Rangers and their families that had settled in to her kingdom and had become permanent residents, even if the Rangers came and went when called by their commanders. Then there were the dwarves that chose to settle in with the Dwarf Friend of their King but didn't want to return to Erebor or remain in Ered Luin. There were even elves, scholars and warriors alike whom came to learn and study under the Champion of the Valar and Queen of Atlantis. The elves came from all three of the elven kingdoms and most of the time they stayed as just like Lorien, it was a kingdom of light that couldn't be pierced by the darkness that was slowly but steadily growing in Middle Earth.

And then there were the hobbits. Although the hobbits never stayed, they usually visited to get over any traveling lust that might have been stirring in their blood - especially the Tooks and Brandybucks, although there were some Baggins that were scattered amongst the hobbits. And even a couple families of the Tooks and Brandybucks stayed as the creatures and plant life of Atlantis were too hard to pass up in learning.

Along with the occasional visits from Gandalf, Radagast, the Company, Bilbo, Lord Elrond, and Bilbo's nephew Frodo, Perci never had a dull moment.

But she couldn't help but long for the one whom held her heart, the one whom she had not laid eyes on in sixty years.

Perci sighed and wiped a tear that had appeared at the corner of her eye away.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a voice that she had not heard in a long time.

"Lady Persephone." The deep watery voice stated. She glanced over her shoulder and bowed her head.

"My Lord Ulmo." She murmured. "What brings you here?"

"I'm sure you know."

She sighed. "I have suspected, have hoped that I was just imagining the signs."

Lord Ulmo moved forward, placing a hand on his Champion's shoulder. "You know that you never imagine things like this. It is time for you to get back out in the world."

"And do what?"

"Save it from the darkness that Sauron wishes to unleash upon Middle Earth. And show Middle Earth the true might of the Champion of the Valar."

And with that, Lord Ulmo vanished, leaving Percy alone once again with her thoughts.

She knew he was right. She just had to arm herself before she headed into any battles.

But first, she had a birthday party to get to.
