				Aalyssa stood at the gate to their village, waiting for her best friend to bring the remaining Elves. She reached behind her, checking once more her quiver and the bow strapped to her back. War was upon them and their village was in dire danger. So far, it had escaped Sauron's attentions, but Aalyssa knew it was just a matter of time. She and Gwenlyn had stayed up until the wee hours planning their escape. It was up to them to get the remaining Elves to saftey, they could only pray they would be able to find it.<br><br>Aalyssa's midnight black hair was pulled back into a braid that went down her back save the two thin braids that framed her face. Violet eyes set out as so different from the rest. "Come on, Gwenlyn, we've got to get a move on," she murmured, finally hearing voices as her friend and the villagers made their ways to the gate. Once all were together, Aalyssa inspected, making certain each person had brought what would be needed for the trek.<br><br>Once satisfied, they headed in the direction opposite of Mordor, seeking safety, perhaps in Rivendell.

				Arathorn stood atop a hill someways down the road, blue eyes searching the surrounding area, taking a deep breath and enjoying a rest and the scenary. Him and his companions had been traveling quite hard, on a mission to reach rivendell. Yawning he scratched his chin, then ran fingers lightly through his brown shoulder length hair, the ranger was built solid yet not overly so. He had a reputation throughout middle earth, as both a good tracker and herbalist, and as a damn good allie and fighter if need be. Normally he stood proud and tall, but so many days of travel had caught up with him, causing his shoulders to sag and making him long for the elven land.

				Her desire for getting the Elves of her village to safety pushed Aalyssa to move them harder than she normally would have. She only glanced back from time to time, her most alert people guarding their backs. She felt a tug on her arm and she turned, seeing Gwenlyn. "We should get some water. I came out once this time with my family, there's water over to the left. You're the only one with a skin to carry it in." She pointed in an isolated direction, though there were trees surrounding where the water should be. "I'll watch over everyone while they rest. You need to remember they need to pause from time to time. We have no warriors here, including you, even if you fancy yourself as one since the guard used to let you practice your bowmanship."<br><br>Aalyssa paused and glanced toward the trees. "I shouldn't go alone, we should always have at least one person with us," she told Gwenly who shook her head. <br><br>"We've seen no danger. Stop wasting time arguing and get our water."<br><br>When Gwenlyn got like this, there was no changing her mind. "Fine, but do come running if I cry out," Aalyssa stewed, turning and heading toward the watering hole.<br><br>And when she got there, a hole it was. There was barely any water though and skeletons littered the ground. "So help me...." Aalyssa knelt next to the water and dipped the skin in it.<br>

				Placing himself on the ground he sighed, closing one eye after stepping into the woods, it was never safe to sleep on the road or the forest really. But alas he was tired anyway. Yawning he managed to stay awake, passing the time by chatting with his companions, and eagerly awaiting the time with the elves.

				Part of her attention focused on listening for the sounds of whatever had made skeletons of the people near the water, Aalyssa slipped and nearly fell in the water hole. She cried out but caught herself, and then she listened, holding her breath, hoping she had not drawn any unwanted attention.

				It seemed the two elves were close enough, or at least the sound had bounced off the mountains, and now had reached Arathorn's ears. Sitting up he looked around, glancing at his dwarf and elf companion, shrugging they all got up to investigate. There search had taken them far, now finding themselves tangled up in the forest, cursing softly for being lead away and trying to head back now. "It was probably nothing." He spoke to the elf in a deep voice.

				Aalyssa released the breath she had been holding. Perhaps whatever had killed these people was long gone. She found herself a steadier perch and lowered the skin into the water once more, her fingers gripping a low hanging branch as she gathered the water. One thing did puzzle her though, she was quite certain she had assigned a number of the Elves to gather water for the trip. So why was she here, at an unknown watering hole, surrounded by skeletons?

				The group made their way back to their hill, watching the fowl fly above and longing for the elf land, wondering what the elf lord would have of them to do. Arathorn was still considered young in a way, though he had seen his battles and hardships, which had made a solid warrior and tracker out of him. The thing that pressed his mind was sauron, the once leader of the wizard's council had turned evil, which made him shiver because sauron was powerful. All he knew was that dark times were ahead of them, and right now he could see no end to it.

				As Aalyssa leaned over the watering hole, she heard heavy footsteps quickly making their way toward her. She stiffened and slowly rose to a standing position, her eyes widening as the Orc came toward her. Just as the blood curdling scream wrenched from her throat, the Orc lifted her and started heading deeper into the forest.

				Once again sound reached his wars from a long distance off, blue eyes flicking to his companions once more, he nodded and they dashed off back through the forest. His long sword which was crafted by elves, slashed through the limbs and under brush easily, cutting a path for his other four friends. His eyes were intense, and he stopped occasionally looking for footprints, whoever it was they were in trouble and needed help. He just hoped it didn't prove do be a stupid mistake to help them out.

				Aalyssa kicked and squirmed agains the Orc's strong hold as she was carried further and further from her people. The Orc snarled and shoved something foul-tasting into her mouth to quiet her and picked up it's pace.

				Branches lashing against their flesh despite the cutting, the crew of heroes still lose a little blood, but it doesn't seem to faze them as they keep going. After a while the elf picks up a scent, knowing they are close now they slowed their pace, peering out through the forest for any signs. Then up ahead he saw them, a struggling female elf and an orc. Eyes narrowing he crept through the forest, motioning for then others to flank him, and when the time was right each one rushed in from a different position.

				The Orc could smell them coming and he gripped his tender victim more tightly. This one he and his band would have fun with before eating her. He roared with the closest thing an Orc had to a laugh and continued on, ignoring her attempts to cry out with pain or for help. He ducked between a few trees, heading for his bands encampment.

				The others hung back seeing they didn't really blend in, and sent the elf who was quicker and more silent after him, soon doubling back around and getting ahead of them. Perched in a tree he watched with almond shaped brown eyes, waiting to pounce and slash the foul creatures throat.

				The elf leaped from the tree just ahead, bringing his smaller blade downwards at an angle, hoping to slice the creature's throat without incident. Eyes remained transfixed though on the female elf, blinking at her but saying nothing for a time, that is if he felled the orc easily.

				The Orc's attention had been on his female entertainment and did not see the Elf land in front of him until it was too late. He howled with rage and pain, dropping Aalyssa to the ground roughly. He appeared to want to give chase but wobbled and fell over with a resounding thud.<br><br>Aalyssa breathed heavily as she sat on the ground, her breasts rising and falling as her gaze rested on her rescuer. "Th--thank you."

				The elf bowed and were soon joined by Arathorn, the dwarf, and the hobbitt. Gazing at the scene they smiled and Arathorn moved over to the elven female. "Are you alright m'lady?" Intelligent blue eyes serached her face, his handsome visage in plain view for all to see, it had gotten him in many beds and saved his butt a time or two.<br>

				Aalyssa gasped softly as she gazed into Arathorn's eyes then glanced down at the dead Orc at their feet. "Yes, thank you very much. Though I did fear I might become his lunch or dinner." Her blue eyes met his, her head turning only when she heard feet coming behind her, her people, led by Gwenlyn.<br><br>"Lys! Are you all right? We heard you scream?" Gwenlyn asked with mock sincerity, then her gaze fell on Arathorn. She tossed her red hair over her shoulder and approached him. "Good day, Sir. I trust you are the reason Aalyssa is still with us?"

				Arathorn bowed to both of the ladies and chuckled softly to himself, casting a glance to his elven friend who seemed to like both females, awe how cute he thought love in a moment like this. Pushing this aside he shook his head to the red head. "Actually it was my elven companion, we heard your friend scream and despite the distance between us we got here in time, I suspect there are more close by." Taking a look around he gazed at the other people. "Where are you headed?"

				Gwenlyn tore her gaze away and frowned. While she wouldn't mind traveling in such attractive company, it would make getting rid of Aalyssa that much more difficult. Still, perchance she might find some sort of rogue on the road who would not be adverse to taking her coin.<br><br>Aalyssa smiled, looking at the traveling party. "That would be wonderful, there is much more safety when in larger numbers."

				Arathorn smiled and nodded his head while glancing at the other and scratching his chin. "I think the orcs will come soon enough looking for him, perhaps we should enter the woods, harder to track and see that way." Smiling he gazed at the other elves and sighed, then looked to his elven companion.

				Aalyssa gathered her people and checked the supplies. Her gaze narrowed when she noticed they had had plenty of water, but she would bide her time for now. They had much too far to go to start arguing and fighting now. She adjusted her quiver and picked up a yawning little one to carry. She walked back up to Arathorn, seeing her people fall lin line. "We're ready."

				He nodded and motioned at them. "Tell them to spread out, if we do meet anybody dangerous, it will be harder for them if we are spread out." Moving ahead to the front with his elven friend. Slowly they started moving through the woods, the elves quieter than anyone else being so light and quick upon their feet. They certainly were a blessed race and made good friends.

				The Elves spread out, several bearing their arms. The little one in Aalyssa's arms fell asleep and she carried the child closely. She noted Gwenlyn shaking her head at her. "Orcs killed her parents, she can't be expected to make the trip on her feet all by herself," Aalyssa hissed at Gwenlyn. She walked ahead slightly, just behind Arathorn.

				The handsome ranger was pleased to have the female elf by his side, his eyes twinkling in the light that fell through the tree's. He sniffed the air and gazed ahead at a loss of words for now, his elven companion throwing glances at the female all the time, which caused the human warrior to chuckle to himself but he had to admit she was beautiful. "So you all plan to stay in rivendell?"

"I hear someone crying for help in the trees over there to the left," she whispered.<br><br>"Go help them then."<br><br>"You know you are ever so much more brave than I," Gwenlyn retorted. "I'm afraid to go into the trees, you're nearly a warrior." She took the sleeping girl from Aalyssa and pushed her in the direction. "It won't take you long and you'll catch up easily." With a bounce to her step, Gwenlyn led the people after Arathorn and his companions, leaving AAlyssa behind.<br><br>Unable to leave someone in danger, Aalyssa cautiously made her way into the trees, although if she were to be honest, she heard no one crying.

				He peered curiously at the other waiting elf that appeared, and listened to what they were saying, slightly chargrin at the interruption. Although when the elf woman left he dropped back and followed, perhaps he could help as well that and he liked her company. He left his elven companion to speak and entertain the other. Despite what she had said he heard nothing as well.<br>

				Aalyssa picked her way through the trees and foliage, listening intently for any sound of the person in danger. But the only thing she heard was a growl and...swishing of leaves? Aalyssa slowly turned, her skin paling when she saw eight tall furry legs heading in her way, the sounds of something drooling as it looked at her joining the growl.

"Oddly, I've known very little trouble in my life until I started this journey. I don't think anyone is in danger here, if Gwenlyn heard anything at all, it must have been that beast. Let's catch up with the others." She stopped and gazed at him, her own eyes sparkling. "Thank you once again."

				Weighed down with weapons of every sort and his armor and clothing he did good just to run, but chuckled as the elf broke free ahead of him and him groaning to catch up. Elves were light and quick on their feet, so it was no wonder she ended up winning in the end. "I agree, perhaps for now we should be more cautious." Sighing he breathed deep and ruffled his hair. "Come we have a long way to go, and the roads don't seem to be safe anymore."

				Aalyssa nodded, "That is why I've decided to be very hesitant regarding anything she says. The downside is that if she is telling me the truth, that someone is in danger, it may cost someone innocent their life." She silently fell in to step beside him as they headed toward the group. What ever could Gwenlyn gain by hurting Aalyssa?

				He nodded and sighed softly. "True, but go with what your heart tells you." Smiling he met up with his elven friend speaking in elvish actually, wanting to know what had happened to them. Soon though they were spread out again, their steps slowly taking them to their destination.

				Aalyssa lingered toward the back of the group as they headed on, her gaze on Gwenlyn. What was it that her friend wanted? What could psossibly be more important than their people's safety and her friend's life? Heaven knows, Aalyssa would give her own life to protect Gwenlyn. Or she would have up until now.

				All seemed to go well throughout the rest of the day, meeting no one else on their way, and that night they camped out up on a high ridge. Elves and other spread about the ground, some already sleeping while others stayed up to talk. Arathorn was weary and fought to stay awake, currently in deep conversation with the two female leaders, and his companions sitting around them. "The land up ahead is said to be filled with orcs, hopefully we can make it through without incident, but perhaps we should find another way around if we can." Blue eyes into he stared at them in the dark night.

				"I think that would be a wise choice," Aalyssa agreed. "I would like to get my people to Rivendell with as little incident as possible, as there are a few who would not be able to fight."<br><br>Gwenlyn turned her head and rolled her eyes, not looiking toward Aalyssa or Arathorn. But she did turn back and say, "If they are too weak to fight, then perhaps it would be a blessing?"<br><br>Anger flashed through Aalyssa's eyes, but this was not the time for an argument. "I disagree," she replied simply, her voice laced with a hint of anger.

				Arathorn chuckled at their bickering back and forth, but he agreed Aalyssa and nodded his head. "Then it's settled, we will take the underhill pass with I regret, but hopefully it will prove to be less dangerous." Everyone knew of the underhill pass, known simply as the pass of the dead, and rumor had it vile and ravenous creatures lived there that most never saw in their life time. The ranger shivered at the thought himself, but he wasn't afraid really as concerned for the others.

				Aalyssa swallowed nervously as she thought of all she had heard of Underhill Pass, but she also felt they had better odds with a few creatures than a band of orcs.&nbsp; But she was not 100 percent certain of that. She pondered the defense of her people, completely missing the evil smile that briefly flashed across Gwenlyn's face.

				Arathorn had caught a brief moment of the smile and pondered over it, was the elven female indeed out for the other's blood? And why for what had she ever done to her. Sighing and shaking his head he shrugged it off, but would be alert more from now on, he wanted to see them safely to where he had promised. Getting to his feet and brushing himself off, he gathered his things and glanced down at them. "Speed is the key, I would like to get going in an hour."

				"My people will be ready," Aalyssa assured him. She walked over to her people, talking quietly with them as she prepared them for the coming journey. She smiled softly, reassuring each person, touching their hand, her love of the people evident in her eyes.<br><br>Gwenlyn, on the other hand, had eyes for only one thing. Arathorn. She strolled over toward him and smiled. "It's very kind of you to offer us protection and allowing us to join your journey."

				Arathorn went through the camp and gathered up his men, some of which they had met on their way to where they were now, who were seeking company and a purpose. Some just wanted to fight and make an impression on the earth and things to come, but only a select few would go down in history for it. As she approached he looked to her, then glanced to Aalyssa and nodded. "Your most welcome, hopefully your troubles will be over soon."

				The ranger shivered at her touch which was natural of course, afterall she was female and he male. But he didn't trust this women at all, and pulled away as she spoke in his ear. "I highly doubt it, just get ready to leave soon." Walking away he headed to find Aalyssa and speak to her. His companions chuckling at all of it as he stepped by them.

				If he hadnt' headed directly for Aalyssa, Gwenly would have accepted his words. What was it about her...Gwenlyn fumed. She spun and headed toward their people. There was one fellow in the group who, for the right enticement, would do just about anything. And he had wanted Gwenlyn for some time. She knew of an area near Underhill Pass...the perfect place to make Aalyssa disappear forever. But she couldn't been seen sending her in that direction.<br><br>After speaking with Naroth, Gwenlyn circulated among the people so that their conversation wouldn't stand out. Naroth masked his evil smile, he had been waiting for this sort of opportunity.

				To this he was unaware of unfortunately, because if he had known he would have killed both easily. Sighing he made his way to Aalyssa and smiled at her. "What is wring with your friend, she seems to be up to something again, plus she flirted with me as well." Running fingers through his hair he snorted as the sun was starting to set. "Is everything ready? We need to be leaving soon."

				He nodded and got to his feet sighing softly. "Then let's get going everyone is ready I believe, but be careful I fear your friend has ill intentions." Moving away from her he joined his elven friend at the front, then they slowly started into the swampy and jungle like terrain, dark and wet almost as if they were in a cave. There was a reason they called it the land of the dead. Everyone stuck together for more protection, most of the people scared to death of it but everything was going fine, so far they had run into no trouble as of yet.

				But alas the ranger did and frowned from his position closer to the front. Occasionally they had to stop, people falling into filthy water holes and almost being sucked in, the land was strange and would fight you anyway it could. The tree's swayed some of the brances coming alive and trying to grab you, or at least that's how it seemed to many of the elves. Soon they were almost in total darknes, but chose to stay that way afraid the light would draw out nasty things.

Her ears listened for any out of place or unusual sounds, her body ready to srping into action at any moment.<br><br>Nathron turned his attention elsewhere, ready to protect those near him.

				Yawning he gazed into the darkness without much fear, yet his heart was racing ready to spring into action, and slowly he fell back close to Aalyssa and smiled at her. "So far so good, how are the little one's?" His eyes in the darkness were hardly visible, and up ahead he could hear the wind blow through the foliage, and a few people yell as they tripped on blind roots.

				He nodded and sighed softly. "I see, but there's only one of you, which of course that's why I am here but be on caution the beasts are hungry." Arathorn felt something sniffing his leg and kicked it hard and heard it yelp, then smiled and started walking again keeping up with Aalyssa.

				He nodded respecting the elven woman very much for her views and ways, she seemed to have to it all together, and to top it all off she was very pretty. Sighing he scratched at his face, then stared into the darkness and frowned. "I think we may be coming up on the river, it will be tricky but I think we can cross it." The water was known as the river of the dead, and sometimes it tryed to claim the living and speak to them through spirits, truly a horrifying experience for those on their first time.<br>

				Aalyssa gathered her people, who all agreed readily to holding hands. She herself took the two smallest children by the hands, noting Gwenly reluctantly taking two of the children as well. Aalyssa sighed, it was so rare for an Elf to not like children, but it certainly seemed Gwenly didn't.&nbsp; Once everyone was holding hands, they made their way to the others.

				His people some of whom had just joined them from the forest awaited the other elves, then linked up and slowly started across, the mere feel of the water make people shiver and cry out. It seemed to take forever to cross, and it drained people of their energy, and once they were across most collapsed where they were.
