(Track 05-Many Meetings)

"Brianna? Brianna?" I heard a familiar voice
call my name. I had awaken to find myself lying in a soft bed and listening to the sound of birds chirping in the air. "Who...Who are you?" I asked, drowsily.
"Thank the Gods, you are awake." Said the voice. It was Strider. He was standing alongside Glorfindell at the edge ofmy bed. "It is me, Strider. And this is Glorfindell. He was the one who brought you here." "Where am I?" "You are in Rivendell." Answered Glorfindell, in a calm voice. "How am I still alive?" Strider sat down on the bed, stroking my hair back gently. An older elf walked into the chamber. He was clad in a red robe and wore a crown around his forehead. "You should thank Lord Elrond." Said Glorfindell. "If I hadn't been so swift, you would of perished." Elrond greeted me with a friendly welcome. "Hello, Brianna. I am Elrond, Lord of Rivendell. Pleased to meet you. You are the daughter of Master Baggins, am I not correct?" He asked me. "Adoptive daughter, actually. I am not a hobbit." "So I've been told." "By who?" I asked him.

Frodo was led to my bedroom by one of Elrond's servants. "Brianna! Oh, thank goodness you are alright!" He hugged me tightly with a big grin on his face. " I am very sorry, dear. I promise you that I will never ever leave you. I'm glad that you are safe." I noticed that Frodo was carrying my suitcase in his left hand. He set it at my bedside. "I have something for you!" He said in an cheerful voice. He opened up the suitcase and snatched Sweet Pea and tucked him in beside me. "Sweet Pea! Thank you, Frodo!" Frodo sat down beside me and brushed my hair back and chuckled. "You are most welcome." "Where is Sam, Merry, and Pippin?" "They are coming right about...." Sam appeared from out of the blue and jumped in glee. "You're alright! Oh, thank goodness! I was worried sick about you. I mean, WE were all worried about you. Here comes Merry and Pippin!" Merry and Pippin zipped through the room like a tornado. Pippin reached me and gave me a gigantic hug and he rocked me back and forth. "Brianna!" He said with tears in his eyes. "Your're alright! Your're not dead!" Merry cleared his throat. "Careful, Pip. She is still very weak and I do not think she should be rattled around like that. Give her some room, won't you?" "Right. Sorry." Said Pippin, backing away from me. Strider told Sam, Merry and Pippin to politely leave the room so I could spend more time with Frodo. "I should go." Said Glorfindell. "I wish you all glad tidings. Welcome to Rivendell." Strider, Glorfindell, and Elrond bid the both of us farewell.

"I brought you some breakfast to eat if you are hungry." said Frodo.He grabbed a bowl full of strawberries and fresh cream. "Would you like some help?" He asked. I nodded my head and Frodo took a spoonful of the fruit and placed it in my mouth. After a few bites, he asked me if I wanted something to wash it down with. He gave me a cup of creamy milk and poured it down my throat. When I had finished my breakfast, Frodo told me that he wanted me to meet someone very close to him. "I get to meet your Uncle Bilbo?" I asked him. "When you are feeling a bit better, I shall introduce you to him. He will be very eager to meet you."
"Oh, boy!" I cheered. "Easy, my darling." Frodo patted me on the head. "Don't get too overexited. You still need to rest." "I know." I giggled.

He kissed both of my cheeks and tucked me into my sheets and sang me a song to help me fall asleep.
