Author's Note: Sorry it is so short, its kind of a filler for the next chapter.
'I can't believe I just ran off like that! Now I'm lost in this place. Ugh why do I have to be so impulsive?' I mentally scolded myself as I walked through the halls, looking for anything that looked vaguely familiar. But I found myself walking around the halls aimlessly, distracted by the beauty that surrounded me.
I was so overwhelmed by the place's beauty that I did not see the person in front of me. I fell to the floor, "I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention where I was going." I apologized
"No it was my fault, milady, I was in such a haste that I forgot to see what was going on in front of me." I looked up to find that the voice belonged to a very rugged looking man with soft blue eyes. He held out his hand to help me up, but I quickly pushed myself up.
"I am Strider, a ranger from the North." He eyed me suspiciously and from his tone I could hear that he was holding back information, but I put in the back of my mind. I stuck my hand out to shake his, "I' m Ever Rio Rhavanniel Faelar, but you can just call me Evie." Instead of shaking it like I had intended he took my hand and brought it to his lips.
"It is my pleasure Lady Evie, but I must be off." He let my hand go, and started heading in the same direction I had just came from. I took my chance to ask him where I would be able to find my way around the halls.
"Hey Strider…umm do you know where I could find Lord Elrond?" he turned to look at me. "Yes, I can help you there." I nodded in agreement and we made are way down the hall. As he guided me to Lord Elrond, we started to make small talk and he asked how I had come to be in Rivendell. I hesitated and wondered if I could trust him, I guess he sensed my weariness.
"I only ask because I have never seen such attire before." He gave me a reassuring smile, hoping that I would be more trusting.
"Yeah…well I'm not from here, I don't even really know how I came to this place." It was pretty much the truth, not the complete truth but truth nonetheless. He gave a small smile of understanding and soon we were in front of large wooden door with weird inscriptions on it.
"This is where I leave you Lady Ever, I hope to see you again." He bowed his head and left me to enter the room.
