In this chapter a start will be made with explaining what has happened to Thangruriel and in the next the full explanation will be given.

Disclaimer: there might be elements from other stories be seen in this story. That will be because I have most likely read those stories at one time and they have stuck into my head and come forward while writing this. I do not own these or the characters of Lord of the rings or Magical girl lyrical Nanoha.

Two hours later the group arrived in the courtyard of Imladris where they all dismounted while stable hands came to take the horses away for their rest after the journey the had made. "Your debriefing will have to wait till tomorrow as we need to speak to Lord Elrond immediately. For now I want you all to rest and we will talk about the patrol in the morning" Glorfindel said as the patrol group nodded that they understood and left to their homes for their night rest.

Meanwhile Glorfindel signaled for the rest to follow him as he led them to Lord Elrond's study. On their way they encountered servants who watch with curiosity or concern at the wolf following the group. A few minutes later they came before an oaken door where Glorfindel knocked once before he waited for an answer to enter. When he got an answer he opened the door and everyone walked inside where they saw a dark haired elf sitting at a desk.

Elrond was working on a few documents when he heard a knock on his office door. Curious to see who was on the other side of the door he called the ones outside the door to enter. When the door opened he saw that Glorfindel and his sons entered with a group of five others and one blue wolf. He ached an eyebrow at the sight of a blue wolf. He saw that Elladan walked ahead with a child but because of the head he couldn't see to which race he belonged to.

"Ada, we managed to find the intruder and our little sister. This is our little sister" Elladan said with a smile on his face and Elrond felt himself shaken but had to smile at the thought of his little girl safely back home. He went to his knees and said

"Come here, iel nin. Let me look at you and finally after all these years hold you again"

Thanguriel looked at her brother with an uncertain look and when he smiled, nodded and pushed her a bit, she walked towards her father. Elrond saw this and grew concerned but it soon turned towards relief when she stood before him and he finally could embrace her. He lifted her in his arms and noticed that she stiffened to which he responded with soothing circles on her back and walked back towards his chair. When he sat down he put her on his knees.

"Iel nin, tell me what is wrong? Everything is fine, you are safe here. No one is going to harm you" he said and saw that his daughter got an uncertain expression as if she wasn't sure what he meant "Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes, I understand, but I don't think anyone could actively harm me without getting hurt themselves. My 'family' always protects me and I look after them" Thanguriel said.

"What family do you mean? You know that we are your family?" Elrond asked concerned.

"Well, yes you are my family. But I consider Signum and the others also as my 'family' because they were the only family I had besides my friends" Thanguriel said as she yawned after which she blushed at doing that.

"You mean the other people that came in with you?" Elrond asked as he had to smile at his daughter.

"Yes, I mean them"

"Erestor, could you ask Lindir to get some of Arwen's old nightclothings and bring them to my chamber. Also have him ready a 3 guest rooms for tonight and the spare room in the family wing by tomorrow evening" Elrond told Erestor who nodded and left to tell Lindir about the work he had to have done. When Elrond looked back at his daughter he noticed that she had her arms before her with the palms up. Between her hand a white light appeared a few seconds later after which a brown book with a cross on it. "Iel nin, what do you have there?"

"Oh, this is my book, but can I explain it tomorrow as I am tired and would like to rest. Explaining it will take a few hours' time and I am too tired for that. That is if it is alright with you, Otoo..Ada" Thanguriel asked.

"Of course you can. We will talk about it in the morning after breakfast" Elrond said as a knock on the door was heard and Lindir entered after being told to come in.

"My lord, the guest rooms are prepared and Erestor told me to tell you that he will see you in the morning as he is tired and would like to take some rest. The night clothes you requested are in your own chambers as I believe that is where you will need them" Lindir said.

"Than, you haven't told me your friend's names. What are they?" Elrod asked.

"Their names are Signum, Shamal, Vita and Reinforce. Zafira is the bleu wolf" Thanguriel answered.

"Ladies, there are chambers ready for your use. Have a nice sleep and we will talk tomorrow" Elrond said dismissingly and also saw that the silver and purple haired lady looked to Thanguriel before following Lindir to the guest chambers. Soon Elladan, Elrohir and Glorfindel left to take some rest also. "Let's get you ready for bed, Tithen pen, you need it"

Elrond stood up and started walking to his chambers with Thanguriel in his arms when he noticed after a few minutes that the wolf, who Thanguriel called Zafira, was still following him. He looked at him and said "you can find a place outside to sleep or go to one of the ladies"

"I prefer to stay close to my master as I have done most of the time" Zafira said and Elrond felt shocked to hear a wolf talk. Instinctively he pressed his daughter closer to himself as if protecting her from possible harm.

"Is there something wrong?" He vaguely heard his daughter ask him

"Yes, the only wolves I know of who can talk are werewolves and I will not have one in my own house where he can harm my people. Also who is this master he is talking about" Elrond said in a no nonsense voice.

"Zafira won't do anything unless I ask him to or my safety is in danger. Just like Signum, Shamal, Vita and Reinforce will he put my happiness, safety and health on the first place, because I am their master. Can I explain it in detail tomorrow I would like to sleep… Please" Thanguriel pleaded.

"I want your word that you won't harm my people or else you will have to leave Imladris" Elrond said with a commanding voice.

"I promise on the life of my master" Zafira promised and after that the trio walked towards Elronds chambers where he opened the door and put his daughter down while telling her to wait a moment for him, while he would get a bad started. What he didn't tell was that he wanted to collect his thought a bit. He was still anxious about everything but when looking back at the parental bond when his daughter gave the short explanation about Zafira he had to say that she was being honest about the explanation she gave him. He would have to wait for more information till next morning even if he was being nervous about everything as he had a feeling he would not like what he would hear.

When he came back into the room he had to smile because Thanguriel had fallen asleep while laying her head against Zafira who was looking outside and when he noticed him he nudged her.

"Ah Zafira, I'm tired…. Let me sleap" Thanguriel said.

"You need a bad young lady before going to sleep" Elrond said as he walked up to his daughter and lifted her up and carried her to the bad room. He then sat her down on the floor and wanted to undress her when Thanguriel said:

"I wanna do this myself, Ada"

"You can barely keep your eyes open. I do not think it is a wise thing to do for you to undress yourself. Let me help you, Tithen pen" Elrond answered to which Thanguriel nodded and she started to try and take her dress of with little success.

"Turn around and then you can take the dress of" Elrond advised her to which she complied. He then untied her dress after which she took it off and turned around with an uncertain expression on her face.

"What is it, you can take the rest of so you can take a bad and go to sleep" Elrond told her.

"I know but can you turn around. I'm not used to undressing in front of men" Thanguriel told him. Elrond felt shocked to hear this and had to wonder where she had lived before when she was not used to having help with undressing.

"Alright Tithen pen" Elrond said and turned around. A short time later he heard water splashing and when he took a sneak peek around he saw that Thanguriel was trying to climb into the bad all by herself. He smiled and lifter her up and got a squeak as reward and an angry glare. It was then that he noticed that she was embarrassed.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about, you are young and can't get into all places as of yet" Elrond told her and offered her soap to wash herself while getting shampoo to do her hair. In the end when they were finished with washing, the water was dulled by all the dirt. It was then that he lifted her out of the water and sat her down on the floor. When he went to get a towel he heard that she was cold and hurried to get the towel quickly and gave it to her so she could dry herself. Five minutes later she was finished with drying herself he gave her night clothing and helped her into it. Then he carried her to his bedroom where he tucked her into his bed before going to the bad room to drain the bad. After that was done and the bad clean, he decided to go to his balcony to think over everything that had happened before he himself went to bed.

Next morning:

When Thanguriel woke she noticed that she was wrapped in arms. After some wriggling she managed to look the other person in the face and noticed that it was her father who was still sleeping peacefully. When she looked outside she noticed that the sun was coming up so she imagined that it had to be early morning. She didn't know how to feel about the fact that she would be a child in their eyes, when she is an experienced and decorated officer who always had to do everything on her own and now starting to rely on others as she didn't think that they would let her do thing on her own considering her father's behavior last night. It would be a lot of getting used to people helping and taking care of her, which she didn't like one bit.

A few minutes later she looked back up to her father and noticed that he was smiling at her "Lost in your thoughts tithen pen, whatever it is you can talk to me about it or if you don't want to talk to me about it you can tell your brothers. They would love to help you with whatever it troubling you" He told her as he got out of his bed "We should get ourselves ready for breakfast, so first let me give you a dress"

"Alright, but can I choose one, Ada" Thanguriel asked to which her father responded with

"Of course, come along and you can choose one of the dresses"

She followed her father to a chair where she saw three dresses lying, one brown, one dark blue and one pink dress. After concidering the dresses she picked up the dark blue dress which was beautifully decorated on the chest and arms. She put the dress up and worked herself into it, but then she discovered that she couldn't close the dress on her back so she turned around while holding her dress with her hands up "Could you close the dress on the back I can't reach it?" She asked her father who had just put on his robe but hadn't closed it. She could see that he was wearing brown trouser or something, Thanguriel wasn't exactly sure, a light brown shirt and light purple robe. When he got close to her he crouched down on the floor and told her to turn around and closed her dress. Then when her father was done she walked up to the dressing table, picked up a brush and started brushing her hair. When looking for something to with which she could get her hair out of her face she didn't see anything useful so she decided to pick up her own hair clips and put them in her hair. Thinking back on the evening before she couldn't remember when she had pulled them out of her hair.

She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked around to see her father looking at her "Shall I braid you hair for you or do you want to leave your hair as it is now" Elrond asked her.

"I wanna keep them as they are. Did you pull my clips out of my hair last night, I can't remember who did that" She asked

"Yes I did, but I am not surprised you don't remember it as you were preoccupied with washing yourself" Elrond said to which she nodded. "Come let us go to the hall of fire for our breakfast, then we can get everything straightened out as I am anxious about knowing what happened to you all those years when you were away from your family. That also counts for your brothers, Glorfindel, Erestor and Mithrandir" Elrond told her.

"Could my friends be there too to help me with explaining as there are some things they can better explain than me" Thanguriel asked.

"Of course, I had wanted to ask them to be present as I have some questions for them" Elrond said as he took her hand and walked with her to the door to go to the hall of fire with Zafira following them.

On board of the Claudia

"Is everyone on board?" Chrono asked the bridge crew as they were preparing to undock their ship.

"Yes admiral, everyone is on board and on their designated position" One of the bridge crew told him.

"Alright. Lucino put in the coordinates Shario found so we can get moving to the point" Chrono said.

A few minutes later when the ship undocked from the station, Lucino put the ship in the right position before initiating the ships dimensional transport which took them to the location the necklace originated from. The travel lasted for 3 hours and when they arrived they could see a bright sun, a planet and a flat area protected by a barrier.

"Initiate scans from this area for any instability and where the most lives are, as that will be the most likely place to start looking for our missing commander" Chrono ordered as everyone got started on their assignment. During the time they were working Vivio walked onto the bridge and towards Chrono.

"Uhmm, Admiral would there be something where I can help with as I am getting a bit bored this moment" Vivio asked insecure.

"Maybey when we have a location you can go with a scouting group down, but that will be deciced with your mother at the moment the scouting group will be put together, do you understand Vivio. But for now you could help with looking at the scans to see if you find anything that might be of interest. The more people are doing it the more likely we will be to find a good place to start" Chrono told her and with that she left to a chair to look at the scan results together with her mothers and the others.

Half an hour later the scan was complete and a bridge officer said "Admiral, we scanned the area and there are instabilities to be found, in fact it is to stable as if there is something keeping this area perfectly protected and in peace. Also we only gave pictures of the planet to enforcers and the captain as we couldn't get a view on flat area. We scanned the area and came to the conclusion that it has to be a protection field that keeps everyone out, no matter the strength applied on the field and only let's some in"

"We found traces of two strong barriers and believe it the best to start looking at the one close to the mountain as we discovered traces of magic around there that are similar to Belkan. The barrier around the wood hasn't been touched by it so we believe the commander hasn't been taken to there" Fate said

"Do you know how strong it is, as I don't want to give away our full strength to them yet" Choro said

"We don't know, but are sure that you can walk into the barrier as we noticed that there were groups coming out of the barrier and also going back inside" Fat explained.

Chrono then called Nanoha, Vivo, Erio and Caro to the bridge and then said "Nanoha, Vivio, Teana, Erio and Caro will accompany Fate on the scouting mission. No one else will go as we don't know how strong they are and don't want to give away our full strength yet. It will be your assignment to gather as much information on the unsup as possible and also see if you can locate the commander. You are not to make direct contact when it can be avoided. I want a report from you every half hour so we know you will be fine. Lastly Vivo is going with you as a training and maybe she can get information you can't get to, she is not to engage in any combat understood!"

The scouting group answered with "Yes, Admiral" and one "Yes, Admiral and thank you" and went to prepare everything for their mission.
