The morning wasn't as brutal as I thought it would be. We had some fruit and granola bars my brother loved so much. Erik and Adrian carried their big sport bags with their uniforms and some other utilities we had found in the car. Unfortunately we couldn't bring the car, is it would not fit thru the forest, which I might say, was quit dense.

I changed underwear in the car and took my bag with spare clothes as well as by school books, because let's face it, they are worth a lot of money and in case we went back home I did NOT feel like paying for them. It all made me wonder how long we were going to be stuck here.

I snapped out of my thoughts as I bumped head first into one of the tallest elves of our group.

"sorry" I said sheepishly and looked down. My victim kindly smiles and kept walking. Maybe he didn't even understand what I had said, but at least he understood me.

"So little sis, how was your sleep?" adriad said pulling me into a side hug, almost crushing my head in his arm. "Adrian stop it, your strangling me!" I said pouting.

"That's right Adrian, you should be more careful towards the female gender. They are dangerous species that very well might poison you if you anger them enough." Erik said.

Adrian snorted "My sister loves me way too much to do anything mean to me! Either way, how long are we gonna keep walking, this flipflops are not made for distance walks."

Glorfindel stopped and faced us "it shouldn't be too long before we arrive, if we keep this rhythm up we could be there in two hours or so. Or do you need to rest?" He said with a look of arrogance and a smirk on his face. So Glorfindel did have a playful side, who knew..

"No, no, no, I didn't say we needed to stop! Did I say we needed to stop?" Adrian asked looking at me, and quickly facing Glorfindel again "I shall let you know coach Thompson makes us run for longer periods of time, this is just a stroll, right Erik?" Erik didn't even have the time to answer before Adrian took word again.

"Just let me change into my shoes and we'll be on our way bro, no problem!" At this point Adrian was on the ground with one flip flop in hand one shoe in one feet and struggling to put on his left sock.

"If I may; what the hell were you thinking wearing flip flops?!" I said. After all he knew we had to walk in the woods, even and idiot knew there were branches and rocks in a forest.

"Look-" He said getting up "it looked like a nice, warm day. No rain on the horizon, of course I would wear the most comfortable foot wear known to mankind! Now, let's proceed."

Erik just looked at me, shrugged and kept walking.

Once we arived a strange sense of comfort washed over me. It was as if this place had a layer of protection and a homey feeling to it. It was truly beautiful, the gardens just made you want to run around like a kid and start playing in the grass. None of us could wipe the smiles of our faces.

Glorfindel seemed to notice this and proudly announced "Welcome to Rivendel"

Once inside we were assigned separate rooms, which I found unnecessary since they were ridiculously big rooms with desks and balconies. Mine was in the middle, Erik's room on my left and Adrian's on my right. The whole place was a maze, not in the literal sense but more like an ikea. After being assigned rooms we were to have a meeting with lord Elrond and Gandalf.

The tree of us were standing awkwardly in front of the door, rather unsure of what to do.

"..should I knock?" Erik while scratching his head "yeah" both I and Adrian said simultaneously.

Just as Erik was about to knock the door opened and a tall man with a pointy hat opened the door.

"Now, Lord Elrond and myself were wondering when you would enter" he said with a chuckle.

I awkwardly laughed and sat between my brother and my boyfriend while Gandalf lit up his pipe and Elrond took word. "We have been informed you were found in the outskirts of rivendel, and the company that accompanied you insisted you were not from middle earth. I am sorry if it's offending but I will ask you some questions, in hope to be able to help you get back to..?"

He left the sentence hanging "Earth, we are from earth. More precisely Toronto, Canada." Adrian finished the sentence.

"I see" Lord Elrond said, a crease of concentration lined in his front. "I believe you were sent here to help some people… On a quest of great importance, it is not an obligation to come but I had a dream, not long ago, of dark times… and you help is required."
