Ch 2: The Return of Ari and The Beginning of Fellowship of the Ring
I never sleep. I just waited for high noon until I went down to check in on my patient. I was happy to find him wandering around the courtyard and grand gardens and being embraced by his friends and comrades. I decided to appear but not until I spoke. "You seemed to have recovered nicely my dear little hobbit. I never imagined a creature like you healing that fast. Then again, even the smallest of creatures can be the most interesting of them all." I appeared looking at them. They jumped and turned around to find me. "A GHOST?!" Two of the hobbits screamed and ran behind the bushes. I sighed and half smiled. "I am not a ghost nor am I dead. This is my spirit. A wizard named Sarumon separated me from my body. My guard was down and I was vulnerable." I explained to the best I could without giving too much information away. The two hobbits came out slowly looking at me curiously. "Please do not be afraid I mean none of you any harm. I was just checking on this fine hobbit to make sure he was healing properly from the wound I treated last night." I said watching them all. The hobbits emerged and nodded. "You healed me? I thought Lord Elrond did. That was at least what I was told by Gandalf." "You came with Gandalf?" I beamed. "Not exactly, he said he got tied up with something." I nodded and smiled. "Oh I have known him for years! I've been looking for him and- " "Looking for who my dear?" I heard a familiar voice chuckle. I whirled around and found Gandalf . "Gandalf!" I hugged him and he hugged back chuckling. "Could you help me by any chance?" I asked sheepishly. He looked me over and frowned. "Who did this to you? No don't tell me, let me guess. Saurmon?" I nodded. "Yup" I said popping the p. He sighed. "Well it so happens I have your body from my dispute with him on the other room. Would you like to become normal again?" I gasped. "What do you think mister? As sure as unicorns eat rainbows and grass!" I stated with my hands on my hips. Everyone gave me a funny look. "Oh stop it! I am random I am quite sorry." I mumbled and looked towards everyone. They chuckled and nodded. "Well, lets be off shall we?" Gandalf said. I nodded and followed him into the other room. I was so happy to see my body was perfectly fine. I double checked it to make sure there was nothing different about it anywhere. With that done and out of the way Gandalf muttered a spell under his breath and I closed my eyes waiting to awaken in my body.
Frodo's POV
Whoever the woman was seemed happy to see this body I didn't quite understand why exactly but she seemed to be looking for something since she doubled checked everything. After that, she smiled and stood by it nodding. Gandalf said some words under his breath and the spirit disappeared swiftly and the body glowed very brightly. Color returned to the very pale cheeks into a more natural look and the hair became more golden then before. The eyes opened wide and were glowing it seemed. The women stood up and brushed herself off beaming. "Thank you Gandalf! Man it feels good to be back into my own body again!" She exclaimed excitedly. My comrades and I looked at one another in confusion. Who was this women and what happened to the spirit?
Ariel's POV
I was looking myself over with so much joy! I had my body back after too many years of even count! I noticed Saruman kept it preserved which weirdly I found helpful. I looked up and found the hobbits looking at one another in confusion. "I should introduce myself officially now. My name is Lady Ariel Silverlight. I am over 3,000 years old (give or take a few years). I am a warrior and sorceress allied to Gandalf the Grey & company. Whom do I have the honorable pleasure of meeting such fine looking hobbits as yourselves?" I asked while bowing. The two who hide before puffed out their chests. "I am Merry Brandybuck and this here is- " " I am Pippin Took my ladyship and what an honor it is to meet such a beautiful lady like yourself." Pippin said bowing and winking. I giggled. "Oh you are to kind Master Took." I chuckled. "Now lets not get so far ahead of ourselves Master Took and Brandybuck." Gandalf stated watching them closely. I giggled and smiled at the other two. "And who might you two fine gentle hobbit men be?" "I am Frodo Baggins and this is my gardener, Samwise Gamgee." One said while both bowed. I smiled. "Rise kind sirs. Please I liked to be called Ariel or Ari by the way. Now what would four young hobbits like yourselves doing here in Rivendell." I asked looking each over with great detail. I could tell they weren't from around here. "My Lady Ariel it has been awhile hasn't it?" Another familiar voice said. I turned to find Strider/Aragorn standing there smiling. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "My has it been awhile Strider." I said while hugging him. "Ari I would probably go changed and bath before the council arrive." I heard Arwen say to me. I turned and smiled. "That would be wise. Well, I will see you all in a little bit." With that I returned to my room, bathed and changed and headed down to the place where the council was to meet.
