Chapter Three (Just a small note. "~Stuff like this is Elvin~" and "- is thinking-")

Sunday came and soon there was a tapping on the door that only Elizabeth could hear, it seemed. There was a large eagle owl holding a letter in its beak. Taking the letter with a sense of happiness, she was taken aback by the image that flashed in her mind: a lady that had long brown hair and ice blue eyes in a long ocean blue dress.

Writing the letter to her family, she wrote that she was going to see her family and that Emilie would be with her so she wouldn't be alone. She then took her backpack and remaining things and started of to Emilie's to get her.

They had agreed to meet in the park to read the final letter. She found Emilie waiting for her. She was sitting on a swing. The morning was foggy and dark. It was kind of creepy standing in the dark only punctured by the subtle noise from the street that was on either side of the park.

Seeing that her friend was ready to go, she then opened the letter.

Dear Daughters,
I am so looking forward to seeing you again.
A guide will be with you to lead you to Rivendell and to the house of Elrond. It will be one of the most reluctant things that I must do and the thought of doing this is against my better judgment. This is a precaution,
if an enemy intercepts you, this guide will lead you on safe paths.
I hope to see you a gain my daughters.
Namarria,
Mother

"Well, that was interesting," said Emilie. "I wonder who will be our guide." "Why don't you look down and see for your self," said a voice below them. Looking down, they found a cat that had one side a white upper lip and the other black. "You will follow me until we reach our destination," said the cat and started off toward the woods, which were by the power station that was in back of the park. They followed at a slight distance.

They were not all that happy when rain and sleet started up. Elizabeth was not at all pleased and made a fire in the palm of her hand and gave heat to her sister. They could no longer see the cat and as he came back that way they saw that he had transformed into an Elf and was wearing a long over coat that was light blue and with a dark green tunic and had a quiver and bow strapped to his back and had long dark brown hair. "Come, Rivendell is not far from here and we'll be there soon," was what he said.

"Easy for you to say! You're impervious to the cold!" Elizabeth yelled over the wind that had picked up.

"Yes but so will you by the time that we set out again," said the elf.

"What do we call you?" asked Emilie, who was quite curious to who this person was.

"You may call me Enam, for that is my name," he said continued on his way, with the two girls following his form.

Suddenly, the sleet and rain stopped and they clouds moved a way and revealed the most beautiful sight that they had ever seen. There were beautiful white buildings and pine trees and other beautiful sights to feast their eyes on this place. There was sunlight streaming through the clouds and shone on the structures, which made them sparkle and shine.

"Welcome to the home of the Rivendell elves and your birth place," said Enam with a grateful note in his voice and led them to the courtyard of the central house.

"Please wait hear while I fetch your grand father, mother, and your uncles," he said, disappearing from sight. The girls stood and took in the wonder as the sun warmed their spirits.

"Where are they?" asked a deep male voice that was riddled with happiness.

"They are in the courtyard, milord. They are pleased to be home at last," Enam said.

The two men rounded the Corner and saw the two girls. Though what they saw was only a figure of legend, they also know that they were also finally home, for behind their grandfather and Enam, stood their mother and their stepfather.

"Mother and Step-Father, it is an honor; for it is the first time that our eyes have laid eyes upon you," said Elizabeth as they approached.

"Daughters, our hearts welcome you into our home, for it is the first time in our lives together that we have laid our eyes on you," said Arwen as her eyes misted with unshed tears, and their stepfather's eyes as he saw his children for the first time.

It was when their mother and father and grandfather started to descend the stairs, that Elizabeth first saw who she thought to be nothing but fiction and folklore. For descending behind them was Legolas Greenleaf and another elf that she did not recognize.

Though he looked just like his counter part on earth, they could not out do the natural charm that Elizabeth could see coming off him in waves. "Where have you been for the past five hundred years?"

"Yes, Legolas is right. Where have you been? He is my older brother and almost fell into shadow!" said the other elf that Emilie now did recognize.

"Nichalas? Is that you?"
