Chapter 8: News and Information
We had been talking in Ada's office for at least 2 hours. I had been telling everyone everything I knew about earth and my stay there. Ada had lunch brought up to us. I guess he knew we would be talking for quite a while.
"Ok enough about me and my experiences what has been going on here?" I asked looking into Ada's eyes.
"Well Arya" Ada said his eyes dropping and becoming hard. I looked at Ada concerned not knowing what he might say.
"You know that you have experienced 7 years on earth right?" Ada asked and I nodded not exactly understanding where he was going with this.
"Well in reality" Arwen continued "you have actually spent 68 years away from home" she said with sad eyes and my eyes widened.
"Wait!" I exclaimed "that can't be possible though it would explain why Estel only looks years older though?"
"Yes it would" Ada said standing up.
"You see earth" time is slower than ours and Estel's aging time is different to the normal humans." Ada explained.
"Ok that makes sense "I thought. Understanding everything finally.
The sound of my brothers and sister leaving snapped me out of my thoughts. I was about to follow them when I caught the look in Ada's eyes that told me to sit back down again. Once my siblings left I turned to Ada with a raised eyebrow.
"I asked them to leave so that you and I can talk about your future" Ada told me telepathically. "And that's why we are speaking telepathically." I asked amused.
Ada just sent me one of his well-known glares and I laughed.
"Ok ok I'm sorry" I said giggling. And he just rolled his eyes.
"Ok well let's see if my history lessons have payed of shall we" he asked and I nodded. "You know about the war of the One Ring" I nodded and sat up straighter, now concerned.
"Well it has been found once again and war is raging at our door step. Gandalf has found the owner of the ring and is on his way back to him to send him to Rivendell. And Estel will be guiding him here." Ada said. A shiver went up my spine at the very thought of the ring being in Rivendell.
"And I will be holding a counsel soon after he arrives to choose the fate of the ring. I would also like you to be at the counsel. But Arya whatever path you choose just know that I love you ok." Ada said and I had a feeling that he already knew what path I would take he knew I would do anything to protect middle earth.
It looks like I wasn't trained for nothing.
"Ada I do have one question you said he who and what is he." I asked Ada curiously.
"Well my dear daughter he is none other than the heir of our dear friend Bilbo Baggins." I looked at Ada in shock as I realised the last time Bilbo was in Rivendell I felt a slight chill that day and my eyes widened. I looked at Ada in complete shock and he nodded. Knowing I had realised it too. Bilbo had the ring when he came back from his quest with the dwarves.
Well it looks like my life just got very interesting.
