Chapter 3
The next morning Miria awoke to Strider packing their bags and four hobbits gone. Miria started to get uneasy when Strider spoke up seeing her.
"Don't worry. Our little friends are getting breakfast." Strider says seeing her out of his peripheral vision.
"Figures." Miria says. She remembers how much they had had for dinner. She herself got a small amount for breakfast. She seemed to eat a normal meal, but to the hobbits it was a small meal.
They were able to buy a pony who Sam had named Bill. Four hours into their trip the hobbits started to unpack. Strider had talked to them, and through them a few apples. Miria only seemed to trust Frodo and Strider. She actually seemed to trust Strider more than Frodo. Which to Strider seemed probable with how long it had taken him to get her to trust him. But to the hobbits they were confused why a girl so innocent would trust a ranger. They were now traveling through the dead marshes and Miria was having a hard time. Her body was making it very hard for her to move. The bugs did not seem to mind her much. But she seemed to have a disadvantage. She had large hips and her breast were very large. She had always wanted smaller breasts and skinnier hips. She had tried to lose wait any way she could. But she only got fitter. Now she had muscle and she was very strong. Which actually came in handy for this. But now she had extra wait and it was killing her in these marshes. She also had a hard time because she was trying to get Storm out of the situations he always seemed to get into. He always seemed to find the deep parts. At least they knew where not to go. But Miria always had to get him out of these places. Finally they had gotten out. They rested for only a few minutes. Strider wanted to make it to someplace called weather top. They came over a hill and Miria saw ruins in the distance. She had a hold of Storm.
"This was the great watchtower of Amun Sul. We shall rest her for tonight." Strider says. The group then heads for their campsite. Miria had to leave Storm at the bottom of the ruins. She did not like that one bit.
"These are for you." Strider says handing each hobbit a dagger. But to them it looks like a sword.
"What about me?" Asks Miria. Strider looked at her.
"Take care of them." Strider says and leaves. Miria was not close to the hobbits. And she did not trust them a lot. After all they were still older men.
Flashback
They had decided to rest. They left Bree three days ago. Miria had no idea how old her companions were. She didn't even know how old Strider was. She decided to ask the hobbits how old they were.
"Hey Frodo." Miria says quietly sitting down next to him. He was next to Sam who was making them lunch.
"Yes lady Miria." Frodo asks looking over to her.
"How old are you guy's?" Miria asks.
"I'm 51. And Sam here's 38. Merry over there's 43. And Pippin is about 20." Frodo replies.
"Wow. You guy's are really old." Miria replies.
"And how old are you?" asks Merry.
"I'm 19." Miria says. They all look at her with startled eyes. Miria could hear Strider over on the rock choking. "What?" Miria asks. Looking over and seeing Strider choking on his pipe. He had been smoking. Was there something wrong? Had she said something?
"Your so young." Strider says looking at her. He didn't know she was so young. Now he knew he had to protect her. She was just a child. He thought her to be in her 20's or30's.
"Where is it you come from? Why did they let you go?" asks Pippin. After he had asked that Miria had shut her mouth.
End Flashback
Several minutes went by and Miria was having trouble staying awake. She knew those wraith things were after them so she told the hobbits to not make any noise or any light. Without her knowledge of when, Miria had somehow fallen asleep. She awoke to the screams of the nazgul. They all ran to the top. The hobbits got in front of Frodo. Miria had no idea what to do. Her instincts took over and she hid. Five wraiths came out of the mists. Three of the hobbits were thrown aside. Frodo got scared and fell backwards. He panicked and pulled out the ring. Miria was once again looking closely at the wraiths. One got to close to Frodo in her opinion and she ran out. Then at the same moment Frodo had put on the ring.
Frodo's POV
I saw five men and suddenly there was a bright light charging at them. I could not see what it was, but it looked like a bright star. I could see the wraiths battling with the light. Suddenly the light was gone and I could feel a burning feeling quickly spreading through my shoulder.
End POV
He pulled off the ring and Sam came rushing over along with the other hobbits. Strider was fighting off the wraiths. Miria on the other hand was trying to figure out what was what. The wraith had thrown her right into a rock wall. And it had hurt. She could see double of everything. Not to mention her side felt like it was on fire. When she could see again her companions were right next to Frodo. Strider had suddenly picked up Frodo and said they needed to get to Rivendell, and fast.
For two days they traveled. They came to a clearing on the beginning of the third day. Miria noticed there were some statues that looked very lifelike. Miria had had a hard time. The wraiths were starting to scare Storm. He was a handful to control.
"Look mister Frodo. It's Bilbo's trolls." Sam says. Miria then knew that they were real. She needed to learn what all was in this world. She had to make sure she stayed alive. Suddenly they could all hear a cry from the nazgul.
"Is he going to die?" Asks Pippin.
"He is passing into the shadow world. He will soon be a wraith like them." Strider says. They once again hear the cry, only closer this time.
"Their close." Merry says looking around.
"Sam." Strider says coming over. Sam immediately went over to him. "Do you know the athelas?" Asks Strider.
"Athelas?" Asks Sam confused.
"Kings foil." Strider says using another name for it.
"Aye. It's a weed." Sam says even more confused.
"It may help to slow the poison. Hurry." Strider says handing Sam his torch.
They both then begin to search the forest. Suddenly Strider feels a sword at his throat.
"What's this? A ranger caught off his guard?" Asks a familiar feminine voice.
Miria was in the clearing keeping to herself. She had finally got Storm to calm down. She still did not trust the hobbits, and only felt comfortable when Strider was their. Suddenly Strider and a woman came into the clearing. She started to talk to Frodo in a foreign language to Miria. And Miria hearing a language she did not know wanted to learn it.
"Frodo. I'm Arwen. Hear my voice. Come back to the light." Arwen says trying to get Frodo back. "Frodo" she says in the normal speech.
"Who is she?" Asks Pippin.
"She's an elf." Sam replies.
During this 'fascinating' exchange of words Miria was studying this knew woman. Miria always had a thing for being a studier.
"He's fading. We must get him to my father." Arwen says to Strider.
After Strider put some athelas into the wound he looked at Arwen. He knew she was right. He picked up Frodo and headed towards the horse.
"There are five wraiths behind you. Where the other four are I do not know." Arwen says beside Strider.
"Stay with the hobbits. I will send horses back for you." Strider tells Arwen. Strider had placed Frodo on the horse.
"No. I am the faster rider, I will go." She replies.
"What are they saying?" Asks a confused Pippin. No one answered him.
"Arwen it is to dangerous." He replies worried.
"If I can get across the river my people will protect him." She says. "I do not fear them." She assures him.
Strider knew she was correct. So he let her go.
"Arwen ride hard. Don't look back." He says to her. He then took a closer look at the horse. "And make sure to give Glorfindel Asfaloth back." He tells Arwen with a smile on his face.
"Run fast, Asfaloth, run fast." Arwen tells Asfaloth and off they go.
"What are you doing? Those wraiths are still out there!" Sam yells to Strider. Miria knew it was about time to leave. And no sooner had she gotten up off the ground they were heading out to Rivendell.
