"Legolas! You can't just leave! Not without me of course." Livian exclaimed.

"Livian, if you come then Milia will want to come. You guys weren't invited."

Livian crossed her arms and tapped her foot, "Legolas, I'm coming."

Legolas rolled his eyes, "You have to stay here Livian, you cannot come."

"Fine! Then I'll stay here and be bored for the rest of my days. I never go anywhere! You always get to go on adventures and I have to sit in this boring place and do nothing!" Livian walked away as she threw her arms up in the air.

"Sorry Livian."

Livian didn't say anything, she stood with her back facing Legolas.

Legolas looked at the ground, with a small frown on his face.

"Come Legolas. We must go now."
Gandalf said.

Legolas nodded his head and followed after Gandalf, Livian turned her head and watched them leave. Then a small grin appeared on her face.

"Milia! Milia! Hurry come here!" Livian ran through the halls shouting.

Milia appeared out of a room and looked to her left and saw Livian running towards her, "What is it Livian?"

"Legolas is leaving, he's going to Rivendell. He said I couldn't come but I really wanted to go."

"He's leaving?"

Livian nodded her head.

"Right now?"

She nodded again, Milia's eyes widened.

"Without us!?"

"Yes!"

Milia pulled Livian into the room which was Milia's bedroom, and slammed the door shut behind her.

"Guess where we're going Livian?"

"RIVENDELL!"

Milia smirked suspiciously as she looked at Livian with narrowed eyes.

                            ~~~~~

Location: Middle of no where...

"Alright, listen Prisca." Esmerelda said.

"What Es?"

"I came to the best conclusion to your Frodo problem."

"Really?"

"Yes, all you have to tell Frodo how you feel then he'll tell you how he feels."

"That sounds like a terrible idea! What if he doesn't feel the same, then that would be very awkward."

"Then that's your problem."

Prisca rolled her eyes, "Thanks for the advice..." Prisca said sarcastically.

"No problem!" Esmerelda said then skipped away happily.

Prisca sighed, then glanced over at Frodo then looked back in front of her.

"Everyone stop where you are..." Gandalf ordered.

All of them stopped and looked ahead of them, a small figure and a tall figure as well, were walking towards them.

They got closer and closer until both of them stopped, "Who are you?" Gandalf asked.

There was no answer, Gandalf looked closer and saw an elf and a hobbit.

Both had dark black hair, the elf had a mysterious face and the hobbit stared at them strangely.

Gandalf asked again, "Who are you?"

The elf walked closer with the hobbit by her side, "Merilwen." the elf nodded her head once then looked down at the hobbit.

"I'm Listal."

"We we're just passing through." Merilwen said.

"Where to? If I may ask." Gandalf asked.

"Mirkwood."

Legolas rose one eyebrow, "What business do you have in Mirkwood?"

Merilwen looked at the elf, then answered. "I need to find an old friend, you may know her. Her name is Ithilwen."

Legolas recognized the name right away, "Ithilwen, you know her?"

"Yes."

Legolas wasn't sure what to say after that.

"Now If you'll excuse us we must get going." Merilwen said.

They all stepped aside as they watched Merilwen and Listal pass through, Prisca stared at Listal strangely.

Do I know her from somewhere? Prisca thought to herself.

Yes! Yes! You do!

Esmerelda! Wait, Esmerelda? What are you doing in my thoughts???

I don't know ask the writer.

The writer?

You wouldn't get it.

Get out of my head Es.

Aw but I was having so much fun! You have a lot of secrets in here.

STAY AWAY FROM THOSE.

Prisca suddenly snapped out of her trance, and no longer saw Listal and Merilwen.

She glared over at Esmerelda, who was looking at her with her fingers on her head and squeezing her eyes shut.

She's trying to get into my thoughts again...

YES I'M IN YOUR HEAD AGAIN!

Es. Get. Out.

Fine...

                             ~~~~~

"That was a strange group." Listal said to Merilwen.

"Strange indeed."

"We should make it to Mirkwood palace soon." Merilwen told Listal.

Listal nodded her head as they continued walking.

~~~~~

Location: Mirkwood (again)

Milia and Livian got into their traveling clothing and were about to leave, but then they ran into someone they didn't expect to see.

"Oh-um hello Eärna! What are you doing?" Milia said.

"Milia, Livian. I was actually looking for both of you. But you seem as if you have somewhere to go." Eärna said smiling.

Milia and Livian smiled awkwardly as they both stared at Eärna.

"So where are you going?" Eärna asked, as she looked at them suspiciously.

Milia and Livian looked at each other then looked back at Eärna who was waiting for an answer.

"Narnia!"
"Hunting!"

Eärna and Milia looked at Livian and exchanged strange looks, "Where on Middle Earth is Narnia?"

"Um well I don't know." Livian's face turned bright red.

Milia looked back at Eärna and smiled.

"So you're going hunting?" Eärna said.

Livian and Milia both nodded their heads, "Interesting..." Eärna said.

"We must get going now, we will see you some other time Eärna! Goodbye!"

Eärna sighed, she forgot to ask them what she needed to ask.

Milia and Livian took off, while Eärna watched in confusion.

They aren't going hunting...

Eärna decided she should follow them and see where they were really going.

                            ~~~~~
Location: Mirkwood (again I know)

"Kili! We're almost to the palace in Mirkwood!" Fili said with glee.

"That's great news! Then we have to travel back to Rivendell..."

"Right, but you know what I don't get Kili?"

"What?"

"Why did Aragorn send us to Mirkwood from Rivendell, shouldn't he have just sent them a message or something? I mean it makes no sense."

Kili thought about it for a minute, "You know Fili that is very strange. Maybe Aragorn just needed more time to get the thing ready."

"Yeah, maybe. But I still think it's strange."

They saw lights in the distance, "I think we're here Kili!" Fili exclaimed.

"Finally!"

"Good thing we have rams, otherwise we wouldn't haven reached Mirkwood in forever!" Fili said.

"I know, I love rams."

Kili hugged his ram tightly, Fili looked at him weirdly.

They walked on the bridge towards the doors, as they saw an elleth that sat on the side of the bridge alone.

"Fili, look." Kili whispered then nudged his brother.

"What is she doing?"

Kili shrugged his shoulders, "Hello."

The elleth didn't move or say anything, Kili said it again.

"Hello?"

"What do you want?" the elleth said.

"Sorry to bother you, but is something wrong?"

The elleth stood and faced Kili and Fili, at first she was surprised to see two dwarves, but she didn't mind it at the time.

"Yes, someone was supposed to meet me, but never came..."

"That's horrible! Who? If I may ask."

The elleth looked at them, "You probably wouldn't know him."

"Oh so this is a 'he' elf." Kili said.

She nodded her head.

"Maybe he forgot, did you even tell him to meet you?" Fili asked.

"I told his sister but-" she stopped. "Wait. Oh no..."  she ran her hands through her hair.

"What?" Kili asked.

"His sister! Livian! I bet she didn't tell him!"

Kili and Fili looked at each other with confused looks, "What's your name?" Fili asked.

"Laineth. Yours?"

"Fili, and my brother Kili."

"Nice to meet you, but I'm really not so happy right now." Laineth said.

"I can see that..." Kili said.

"Forgive me, I just don't know what to think right now."

"It's alright."

Fili nudged Kili and started walking towards the doors, "Oh right, well Laineth we have to go find someone."

"Who?"

"Well that one elf you mentioned earlier and Milia."

"Oh..." Laineth sighed.

"Well, you won't find them in there." another elleth appeared from the doors and walked towards them.

"What do you mean? And who are you?" Fili asked.

"Eärna, and what I mean is that they left earlier. To go hunting, apparently."

"You mean they aren't here? Oh great!" Fili said.

"I can help you find them, they left not to long ago." Eärna told them.

"I'll come as well, I have some business with Livian." Laineth grumbled.

"Fine. Let's go then." Kili said.

~~~~~

"Look Merilwen! We're here!" Listal exclaimed with glee.

"Hurry, we must go find Ithilwen."

The two of them walked towards the bridge, they stopped when they saw two dwarves on rams and two other elleths.

"Let's wait for them to leave." Merilwen suggested.

Listal nodded her head in agreement, as she looked at the dwarves and elleths.

They started walking towards them, Merilwen led Listal behind her as they snuck past them without being seen or heard.

"Alright, all we have to do now is find Ithilwen. I wonder where she could be." Merilwen said as they walked on the stone bridge.

The two guards stopped them, but then stared at the elleth behind them.

Both Merilwen and Listal turned around and saw Ithilwen. Ithilwen didn't recognize either of them.

"Ithilwen, it's Merilwen. Remember? I guess it has been a long time. Almost 2100 years to be exact."

"I'm sorry but I do not remember you."

"I'm Merilwen, remember we use to be close friends. Until my mother and sister died."

Ithilwen's eyes widened, "Merilwen!" she hugged her tightly then looked at her.

"You look so different, how did you recognize me? Don't I look different?"

Both of them laughed, "You always wear the same midnight blue clothing, and I remember your eyes."

"Well, that's easy. What brings you here?"

"I need you to come with me somewhere. I can't say where though."

"Alright, sounds fine I guess. Who's this?" Ithilwen looked down at the hobbit, who hasn't said a word.

"I'm Listal."

"Nice to meet you Listal."

Ithilwen looked back up at Merilwen, "When are we leaving?"

"We must leave now."

Ithilwen nodded her head, then they all began walking again.

                            ~~~~~

"Frodo, you haven't said a single word this whole trip! Is something wrong?" Merry asked.

"No Merry, nothing is wrong."

"Well sure seems like something's wrong. You sure nothing at all is wrong?"

"Well, I'm not sure."

"If you think something that's wrong, just let me know."

"Alright."

"You know, Esmerelda told me once that she's good with helping out with others problems. So maybe you could talk to her and she'll give you an answer."

"Esmerelda? Are you kidding Merry?" Frodo said surprisingly.

"Nope! I would just try it out and see what she says. If she starts to get a little strange you don't have to talk to her anymore."

Frodo sighed, "I guess I'll see."

"Alright!"

Merry walked off and went to Esmerelda and whispered in her ear. Esmerelda nodded her head again and again as she listened.

She looked up at Frodo then skipped over once Merry was finished talking.

"Well hello Mr. Blue Eyes."

"Please don't call me that..."

"What about FroFro?"

"No."

"Froyo?"

Frodo shook his head.

"Oh I got one, what about... Yolo Swaggins."

"What even? No just call me Frodo."

Esmerelda sighed, "I liked that last one... But whatever, you're no fun."

Frodo rolled his eyes, "So, Frodo is there something on your mind?"
Esmerelda asked.

"Honestly, I don't feel like telling anyone."

"Oh come on Frodo! You can tell me I won't tell anyone. I promise."

"You can keep promises?" Frodo asked jokingly.

Esmerelda glared at him, "I will keep this promise..." she sighed.

"Well, I kind of find interest in someone here..."

"What kind of interest Frodie?"

Frodo glared at her, "I said just call me Frodo..."

"Sorry."

"I don't really know."

"Well, then talk to that special someone. I know someone who feels the same."

Frodo's eyes widened, "Who?"

"You'll have to find that out yourself."

Frodo sighed, "Thanks for the advice..."

"No problem!" Esmerelda said then walked away.
