Chapter 1
Bright sunlight flashed on the lush green trees and plants. Blooming flowers crowded from every corner, crystal clear water of a river, and heavenly scented petals fell from plants. The lavish garden of Rivendell was peaceful and quiet for everyone.
Three figures sat on on a marble bench next to the river, speaking quietly. "Eradrin, back from Mirkwood already?" A tall man asked. "It's been a month, and besides, I missed home." Eradrin replied. Eradrin was a female elf of about 2100 years old, with honey blonde hair and fair skin. Freckles scattered across her face. Her blue-green eyes sparkled with laughter and kindness.
"So, what have you two been doing lately?" She asked. "Not much, just patrolling the borders, and doing stuff like that." Said Elladan. The two were Elrond's twin sons. "Although yesterday a bunch of orcs tried to cross the border, so we attacked them." Added his brother, Elrohir. "That's weird. Orcs have never really tried to cross the river before." Eradrin paused, "I wonder why?"
Later in the day, Eradrin was walking up a stone bridge over the far-below stream. Two elves appeared around the corner. "Alluean! Aralin!" Eradrin cried. "Mae govannen mellon! Nae saian luume!" (Well met friends! It has been to long) "Sut nae lle umien?" (How have you been doing?) Aralin, a red haired she-elf asked. "Wonderful!" Eradrin replied happily. "And how was Mirkwood?" Alluean, a dark haired green eyed she-elf asked. "Amazing! Mirkwood is always fun, especially the spider hunts. I had so much fun! I wish you guys were there. You could have helped me attack the spiders." Eradrin said excitedly. "Sounds like you had plenty of fun in Mirkwood. Well, we came down to see you, and also Elrond is having a feast tonight, just for fun. He told us to go get you. After that we are patrolling the borders. Come on, let's go! It starts in five minutes!" The three elves rushed up the pathway, hurrying towards the Last Homely House.
Author's Note:
Sorry about the short chapters you guys! I decided to split chapter 1 into two parts, and I'm trying to make them longer. I like to write in third person POV, but I follow certain characters, the main characters, in this case it is Eradrin, but most of the time you will be able to hear the main character's thoughts. Thanks for reading and hopefully I will get chapter 2 up soon. Please review my story. I hope you guys like it :-)
