Chapter 16: The first clue

Inwë woke up in a rush as she looked at the blazing fire. They had been traveling for a couple days, and she was getting weary as well as worried. Nightmares were starting to plague her mind, and she always drank her miracle drink… but never did it work. Through out there journey they had no sign of the newest threat to middle earth. He was laying low for awhile, they obviously knew too much.

"Inwë, Inwë…" a female's voice woke her up from her dreams. She turned to look at Celebriän looking at her.

"Yes?" she managed to mutter as she wiped the sweat off her brow. Celebriän looked at her a moment before speaking, she was never really that good at talk to people.

"Are you alright? You were shaking, muttering… and other things," Celebriän said looking down at the sweating curl.

"Just a bad dream, I… oh never mind," Inwë said before lying down and trying to not think about her dream.

"You don't have to be afraid to tell me, just because I am not the most girly women, doesn't mean I don't know how to listen," Celebriän said realizing her fait was with these people, she had to get along with more then just Éomer.

"I am sorry that wasn't what I meant by my silence," she began softly, "I just didn't want to say it. But it was about Legolas, usually they are happy good dreams, but in this dream I lead him into a trap… we got out of the trap…"

"Then why was it so bad?" Celebriän asked looking to Inwë as she folded her arms across her stomach.

"Well afterwards he decided that I was too much of a burden, and he wanted nothing more to do with me," Inwë said softly as if he voice began to shrink.

"It was just a dream," Celebriän said before laying down, "just because you saw it in a dream, doesn't mean it will happen. You must learn to control your dreams, or they'll get the better of you."

"Your right," was all Inwë could say she was still to heart broken to think of anything else. She waited until Celebriän was asleep. When EVERYONE was asleep she slowly crept over to where Wintersmoon sat grazing. The unicorn lifted its head up to look at the girl silently approaching.

"Hey Moon," Inwë said softly as she swallowed feeling the soft grass tickle her bare feet.

What are you still awake milady? He asked looking at her with curiosity. She sat down looking at the dark trees.

"I had a bad dream and now I am scared to go to sleep, I want to talk to Legolas, but I don't want to wake him up," she said softly.

"Why wouldn't you want to wake me up?" Legolas' voice came from behind her. She jumped and looked up at him as he walked towards her,

"Because you need your sleep," she wiping her nose before looking back at him. He could see the tears in her eyes.

"You were crying? Why?" Legolas asked looking at her.

"Nothing, let's go to sleep," she said quickly before patting Wintersmoon and walking with Legolas back to the camp. He told her to sleep over with him, and she did not reject, she found she slept a lot more peacefully that way. He leaned over watching her as she slept. Her eye lids fluttered a few times and then the rest was peacefully. He liked it like that; her laying beside him, his arm around her, and her head on his arm… it was bliss in a life time of pain for him.

"Don't know what I did, to earn a love like this but I must be doing something right," he whispered softly as she gently breathed onto his arm giving him the chills. With his finger he traced her nose down to her lips before gently kissing her. She stirred a little but fell back to sleep. He laid his head down beside her and sighed before thinking I never felt so much in one tender touch, I think I live for her kisses, her wishers, and her love. He slowly drifted to sleep peacefully.

Morning came and all of them woke up and slowly got ready to travel through the Shire. That was where the first clue was. As they traveled Legolas and Inwë held hands. Together they made there way through the lands, all the small people looked up at them like they were crazy. Inwë looked over at Legolas.

It is so strange how life changes, and suddenly he loves me. I am amazed. It feels so safe inside his kiss, like I am coming home. I never could imagine this. I was on my own, now nothing is impossible when I am looking in his eyes. I'm amazed how he found a way to my heart in the dark. I'm amazed, how I am amazed. For the life of me I can't believe after all this time, I found him and I don't know when I felt more alive. Every dream I ever had, always come undone… until him, Inwë thought while looking at him. She smiled as she looked over at him.

"Where are we going?" Éowyn asked looking around at the farmers looking at her. That was until she saw a familiar face. Merry she thought as she saw him walk out to look at everyone. He saw Éowyn, Aragorn, Éomer, Legolas, and Faramir. Pipin, Sam, and Frodo all walked out together watching the group ride down towards them.

"Milady!" yelled Merry as he ran up to greet the woman on the brown horse. Éowyn smiled as she climbed down to hug the hobbit. She loved that half-ling more then any other half-ling she ever met. She sat on one knee giving him a huge hug. She use to be slightly attracted to the hobbit, problem he was a little over her waist. Frodo and Sam walked up to Legolas and Aragorn.

"Aragorn, Arwen, Legolas, hello… what brings you guys here?" Frodo asked looking to them as they climbed off their horses.

"Well this man here is leading us to something here," Aragorn said looking back at Jackal.

"Do you know where the rock of Galdar is?" Jackal asked pulling the large draft horse up next to the king, queen, and prince.

"I don't think so," Pipin said looking around at the group.

"Actually I heard of it from Bilbo once, he told me of a stone down in one of the wells here in the Hobbiton. He said it was by my cottage. Come let's take a look," Frodo said making everyone go quiet until he spoke up again, "so why do you want to find this… rock?"

"Because it has a description, a secret code, it will lead us to the next clue that we need to find the clue after that until we find the Nameless necklace, also known as the dragon stone," Jackal said getting slightly annoyed.

"Here we are, but I have one more question… are you sure… that you want to find this Dragon Stone, it sounds dangerous," Frodo said looking to his former companions. Jackal just pushed passed Frodo grunting at him.

"Hey watch it mister, Mr. Frodo here deserves respect," Sam said glaring at the man who pushed past Frodo.

"Yeah well I don't care, I just want to see the well," Jackal said walking to the well. They all watched as he took the rope and tightened and climbed onto the bucket. He then began to lower himself down. Inwë followed behind him cautiously, Legolas followed, and one by one so did the others. When they reached the bottom they felt the water go up to their thighs. Slowly they all started to yell as they got soaked, "calm down there should be a lever somewhere around here… ah ha!"

"What did you find?" Éowyn asked as she tried to walk through the water. Legolas grabbed Inwë and pulled her to him as a door opened up nearly knocking them over. Inwë gripped his shirt as all of a sudden the water was sucked out pulling them down and out. Everyone screamed as they were sucked under and fell through a doorway. They all scattered around hitting the walls of the mysterious place. The water rose and stopped. They were now neck deep in water, but it lowered as the water began to fill up the well.

"Inwë!" yelled Legolas as he used his arms to try and swim through the water while walking at the same time. He was alone, they all seemed to be scattered in different directions. Legolas felt the wall as he tried to make it through the cold water he found another hallway. He saw dark brown hair and knew it was either Arwen or Aragorn, "hey!"

"Legolas?" Arwen's voice came as she slowly tried to make it through the water as well. This place was huge, but also tiny at the same time, "I heard something down that hallway. Let's go."

"Ok, but we have to find Inwë," Legolas said worriedly. It took them awhile but the others were all finally meeting up. Legolas ran to Inwë and pulled her into a deep hug, "don't ever scare me like that again."

"I promise I won't," she smiled as his arms squeezed her tight. They then all looked up and there above them stood… a huge bolder with jewels and crystals. Slowly they all looked up at how beautiful it was, it was once some kind of decoration… this place someone once lived in.
