Fire Reborn

by SilverMoonrise

Creatures of old which have long since been forgotten are returning and wreaking havoc on the land they had once inhabited. But why? It looks like Middle Earth is in need of another hero. There are three possible saviors: one has been kept hidden from the world, another's heart yearns for adventure, and the third just wishes her sister would stop getting into trouble. Review please

Miriel

I wasn't sure how long I'd been running, but it felt like ages. Run, Miriel, run!

And I ended up running into something. Something big and furry...and strangely warm. I yelped, jumping back. I looked up to see a bear rearing up on its hind legs. I didn't know what else to do. I panicked and ended up missing my target. My arrow impaled itself in the beast's arm.

It bellowed, but out of pain or rage, I couldn't tell. The bear fell backwards, whimpering. Well that didn't sound right. I frowned, regarding the beast.

Then my hand flew to my mouth and I stepped back. "But...wait...what?" I stared down at the boy now curled up at my feet.

"Mmf. Ow." He muttered.

Eleniel

I stopped. Someone was following me. I whirled violently, knives at the ready. The winds rustled the trees. I glanced at a tree to my right...

Legolas

Eleniel was close. I knew she was. But not even my keen sight could pick up her trail. Her mother had taught her well. I stopped and listened. The trees rustled to my right. I turned and sprinted.

Eleniel

He hadn't seen me. I had been hanging onto a branch directly above him and he hadn't seen me. What a relief.
