Chapter 1

The Glade of Tarasara was a beautiful kingdom filled with woodland cottages, various wildlife and crystal clear streams, just a two day horseback ride away from Rivendell, and was home to the Faye. The Faye were usually peaceful creatures and commonly mistaken for elves with their fair, flawless skin and pointed ears. They had fiery tempers and were strong warriors when in battle and times of dire need. And the whole of Middle-earth was in dire need. The One Ring had been found at the Shire, by a Hobbit, and was currently settled in Rivendell, a beautiful elven city and the home of Lord Elrond and his family.

The Uruk-Hai and Orc forces were preparing for battle, under the command of Saruman and Sauron, and the Faye council had received an invitation by Lord Elrond himself to attend a council in Rivendell, on serious matters concerning the One Ring. The Prince was to attend the council meeting with two of the guards as the Faye representatives...but the Prince was gravely ill and unable to attend. The Princess however, was a keen fighter and quick to step into her brothers place at the meeting - much to her fathers' dismay.

"You cannot expect me to allow you to go, Adrianna!" The King exclaimed during the late hours of the evening.

"Father, please! I am nearly as good a warrior as Tobias!"

The King sighed, "Adrianna, this is a serious matter!" His daughter was a good fighter, but not as strong as the Prince.

"Please!" The Princess begged, dropping onto her knees in front of the King and taking his hands into hers. Her emerald eyes looked up at him pleadingly, "You know I will not let you down."

The King sighed and sat down on his throne, running a hand through his long wispy white hair and across his small chin. He stared at his daughter for a while, studying her soft, porcelain Faye features. Adrianna's hair was a dark chestnut, and hung in loose waves down too her slim waist, but it was her gentle emerald eyes that swayed the King. He sighed again, but nodded his head slowly. "Very well." He stated, "I'm sure Lord Elrond will keep you safe."

Adrianna smiled happily at her father as she got up and placed a small kiss on his left cheek in gratitude. "I will not let you down father." She said, smiling widely.

The King felt as though he would regret his decision, but he couldn't go back on his word now that his daughter was so happy. "Just be careful, my dear." He stated, petting her long chestnut brown hair. "Get a lot of rest tonight, you will ride to Rivendell in the early hours of the morning." Adrianna kissed him once more before skipping out of the throne room and towards her bedchamber's.

She passed tall trees, strung with soft coloured lights and silver bells as she stepped into the Royal housing. She climbed swirling gold staircases and crossed cream marbled flooring as she reached the wooden oak door at the end of the magical hallway. She gently entered her chambers.

Adrianna crossed the light wooden floor towards her wardrobe; opening the doors before her and looking through her clothes and garments; deciding on which dress to wear for the council. She plucked a floor-length deep green dress with golden embroidering, and placed it on the back of the lavender coloured chair beside her vanity table.

She then quickly dressed in her white nightgown before sliding under the white covers of her bed, and slipping off into a dreamless sleep.

The next morning, Adrianna awoke before the singing of the birds. She remembered where she would be going that day and quickly shot out of bed to bathe and once she was satisfied that she was clean, she dressed in a pair of tan coloured trousers, a white blouse and an earth coloured waistcoat. Adrianna carefully folded her green dress and tucked it into her bag, along with a nightdress and another set of trousers and blouse before combing her waist-length waves. She tied her chestnut hair into a messy, elegant bun as she shouldered her bag and grabbed her brown knee-high boots, hopping out of her bedchamber's as she pulled them on.

Adrianna descended the stairs, humming quietly to herself as she left her family's home and skipped along the path towards the King's throne room.

She dined with her family before visiting her brother in the Royal infirmary, saying a tearful farewell just before she made her way towards the stables.

"Good morning, Persephone." She greeted her mothers' white mare as she entered the stall.

"Are you ready, my Lady?" A small voice asked from behind her. Adrianna turned around slowly and saw a Faye, in fairy form hovering behind her. She smiled and nodded, waiting for the guard to transform back into his elf-like form. Once he did, he stood broad shouldered and strong before her, two heads taller than the Princess herself.

Adrianna led the mare out of her stall and the stables, coming to a stop in the courtyard as the stable boy ran over to tack her horse and prepare her for the journey to Rivendell. Adrianna looked up to see her father walking out of the throne room, carrying weaponry with him.

She ran towards him and threw her arms around his shoulders. He dropped the sword and bow as he wrapped his arms around his daughters shoulders. "I trust you will stay safe." He mumbled into her hair, "And I trust your judgement."

Adrianna nodded and kissed his cheek before kneeling down to pick up her weapons. She bowed her head to him before watching him retreat into the Royal infirmary to visit his son.

Adrianna wiped her tears away and made her way towards her horse, handing the weapons to the guard as she did so. The second guard appeared from the stables, leading a tacked brown horse with him as he did so. He smiled at the Princess and bowed his head before handing her a green hooded cloak.

"From the Prince." He stated.

"Thank you." Adrianna replied, throwing it on and clasping the gold broach at her neck.

Adrianna and the two guards mounted their horses before setting off, out of The Glade of Tarasara and towards Rivendell.

Elrond felt a friendly presence in the air, and stepped outside the Homely House to greet his arriving guests. He was surprised to see the Faye Princess dismount, when he had been expecting Prince Tobias. But he smiled warmly, and walked towards the Princess to greet her.

"Welcome to Rivendell." He greeted.

Adrianna pulled down her hood and bowed her head towards the elven Lord, "Thank you Lord Elrond, for inviting the Faye's to the Council meeting." She raised her head and smiled at him. "My brother, Prince Tobias is gravely ill."

"I pray the Valar will watch over him." He bowed his head, "leave your horses here, they will be taken to the stables. Come, I will show you around Rivendell."

Frodo watched the exchange before getting to his feet and making his way towards Aragorn. "Aragorn?" He asked, "Who are those elves? Are they here for the meeting?"

The Ranger looked up and shook his head, "They are Faye's, Frodo. Elf-like but with fiery tempers." He looked to the hobbit, "But I believe they are here for the Council, yes."

Frodo watched the Faye's enter the Homely House with Elrond before turning back to Aragorn, "Where do they live?" He asked.

The dark haired man looked up again and placed his sword and cloth on the grass beside him, "The Glade of Tarasara." He replied, "No elf, man nor dwarf has been there. Lord Elrond and Gandalf may have, perhaps...but not to my knowledge."

"I'd like to go there." Frodo stated, "This is the first time I've seen a Faye before."

Aragorn smiled at the young hobbit, "I'm sure it won't be the last." The Ranger replied, picking up his sword and cloth to continue shining the blade.

Elrond showed the two Faye guards to their rooms before escorting Adrianna to hers. "Do you know much about the history of The Ring?" Elrond asked.

Adrianna nodded, "My father has told me much about it." She replied, "But I'm curious about how it ended up in the Shire."

"Bilbo Baggins took it from the creature Gollum." Elrond explained, "And Bilbo gave it to his nephew, Frodo. The young hobbit brought it here where the Council will decide on what to do with it." They reached the door to the room Adrianna would be staying in and bid her farewell. "The Council will be held tomorrow at noon." Elrond explained, "I will send someone to collect you from your room then. Be ready."

Adrianna bowed her head to Elrond. "Thank you." She smiled before stepping into her room, closing the door behind her.

She set her bag on the double bed and sat down with a sigh of relief. The moonlight shone through the balcony doors and Adrianna stepped onto it and placed her hands on the railings, admiring the beauty of the Elven city. The moonlight sent a silver glow to the surroundings and light music set a calming atmosphere to the wondrous city.

Adrianna turned back into her room and closed the pure white drapes behind her. She opened her bag and took out her green dress; smoothing out the wrinkles and laying it over the end of the bed. She quickly changed into her nightdress and settled into the warm covers of the bed, and dropped off to sleep.

The next day, Adrianna awoke to the beautiful voices of singing elves. Smiling, she quickly washed and combed her dark chestnut hair before slipping into her green dress.

Just as she opened the door to her room, she came face to face with a dark haired man; his hand raised to knock on the door. She jumped slightly from the shock and took a step back.

"Good Morning." The man greeted, "I'm sorry if I startled you."

Adrianna smiled at the man, "Good morning." She replied, then she frowned. "Can I...help you with something?"

The man chuckled, "Lord Elrond asked me to come and escort you to the meeting, my Lady."

"Adrianna, please."

"Aragorn." He smiled, and they walked together down the corridor towards the Council room. "Your men are already here." He informed the Faye Princess as they came to stop outside large double doors. "In their fairy form." He added, smiling.

Adrianna closed her eyes, and opened them a second later to find Aragorn a giant. She fluttered her small transparent wings and hovered just in front of his face. With a smile, they headed inside the Council room, and Adrianna looked around the room, filled with tall people.

There were elves, dwarves, and men. Adrianna recognised Gandalf the Grey, and flew towards him in greeting as her two guards flew by her side. "It's wonderful to see you again, Gandalf." Adrianna smiled up at the man.

The wizard looked at her and returned her smile, "As it is you, my Lady. The years have been kind...this is Frodo." He gestured towards the Hobbit sitting on his right, staring at the three Faye's with wondrous eyes.

"Hello, Frodo." Adrianna curtseyed towards the young hobbit and smiled, her voice tiny to his ears. "It's lovely to finally meet a Hobbit."

Frodo chuckled, "I have never met a Faye before, my Lady."

"Please, call me Adrianna." She replied. Elrond stepped into the room and asked for everyone to take their seats. Adrianna turned and waved to the Hobbit as she and her two guards flew towards the chair they would be sharing, beside the dwarves.

Elrond stood from his seat at the head of the Council, "Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you've been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle-Earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape it. You will unite, or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom. Bring forth The Ring, Frodo."

Adrianna watched as the young hobbit walked over to the stone pedestal in the centre of the room. The gold band of The Ring seemed to whisper something, dark words calling out names, and Adrianna held tighter onto her seat, afraid and repulsed by such a dark object.

The hobbit took his seat beside Gandalf once again, before a man from Gondor got to his feet and walked towards the pedestal, "In a dream, I saw the Eastern sky grow dark, but in the West a pale light lingered. A voice was crying: 'Your doom is near at hand. Isildur's Bane is found.' Isildur's Bane..."

The Gondorian reached out as if to take the ring, but Elrond shot to his feet; issuing a warning, "Boromir!"

"It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor." Boromir continued to walk around, trying to meet everyone's gaze with his own. "Why not use this Ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the Enemy. Let us use it against him."

Aragorn sighed, "You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master."

Boromir scoffed, "And what would a Ranger know of this matter?"

However, an unknown elf shot to his feet, standing royally and strong and gaining the attention of the entire Council. "This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance."

Boromir turned to face the dark haired rugged man, "Aragorn. This is Isildur's Heir?" He said in disbelief.

"And heir to the throne of Gondor." The elf added.

"Havodad, Legolas." (Sit down, Legolas.) Aragorn stated, about to open his mouth to say something when Boromir continued.

"Gondor has no king." The Gondorian turned back to his seat and glared at Aragorn, "Gondor needs no king."

Adrianna watched Legolas sit down, now knowing who he was. Legolas Thranduilion, son of King Thranduil and Prince of Mirkwood. He was more handsome than she had expected, but it was no surprise. He was an elf Prince after all.

"Aragorn is right. We cannot use it." Gandalf stated.

"You have only one choice," said Elrond as he stood up. "The Ring must be destroyed."

The dwarf with the ginger beard growled impatiently, "What are we waiting for?" He stood up with his axe and swung it down hard on The Ring. But before he could even touch it, his axe shattered and fell apart - and The Ring sat unscathed.

Adrianna looked to her two guards, knowing they would've felt the dangerous aura themselves, and checked to make sure they were alright. Once the three of them calmed themselves, they turned their attention back to Elrond who had spoken again.

"The Ring cannot be destroyed Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this." He looked around the room, his eyes shifting from the Faye's, to the dwarves, to the elves, to the Gondorian's, to Aragorn, and then finally Gandalf and Frodo.

Boromir stood once again and addressed the Council, "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there, that does not sleep. The Great Eye is ever-watchful. It is a barren wasteland riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly."

Legolas stood up and said angrily, "Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond just said? The Ring must be destroyed!"

The dwarf, Gimli glared at him and said, "And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?"

"And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?" Boromir stated in anger.

Gimli clambered to his feet and said hatefully, "I will be dead before I see The Ring in the hands of an elf!"

The other elves stood and were shouting, the dwarves and men got to their feet, and everything was chaos. Nothing would happen if the Council acted like this. Adrianna left her Faye guards and flew across the room towards Elrond, who was trying to calm the arguing males.

She hovered just beside his shoulder and cleared her throat, even above the shouts of the people, Lord Elrond and the three elves from Mirkwood heard her. Silencing themselves as they were in the presence of a Lady. Adrianna then flew in between the dwarves and the men who were still arguing, and cleared her throat - a little louder this time.

Once she had silence, she opened her mouth to speak, "I believe the Council should be discussing this in an orderly manner."

"And what does a woman know of a Council meeting?" Came the snide remark from the Gondorian. Aragorn got to his feet to interrupt before the fiery tempered Faye could make a remark, but didn't quite make it in time.

Adrianna grew to her full, elf-sized form and stood head on with the rude Gondorian. "I've seen more Council meetings in my centuries than you've had undergarment changes in your childhood!" She snapped, earning a snicker from the hobbit and a couple of the dwarves. She glared up at the man who was two heads taller than she was. "Just because I am a woman, does not mean you-"

"-I will take it! I will take the ring to Mordor!" Everyone turned to face the young hobbit. "I just don't know the way." He added, bashfully.

There were a few moments of silence before Gandalf got to his feet, "I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear." The hobbit looked up at the old wizard with much appreciation.

"If by my life or death I can protect you, I will." Aragorn stated, walking over to kneel before the hobbit. "You have my sword."

Much to her guards shock and dismay, the Princess stepped forward, "And my wings." Adrianna stated, changing into her fairy form and flying towards the three males. Earning a smile from the hobbit as she hovered by his side.

"And you have my bow." Legolas stated, stepping forwards gracefully.

"And my axe." Gimli stated, glaring at Legolas who rolled his eyes as the dwarf stood by his side.

Boromir walked forward and knelt in front of Frodo, "You carry the fates of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done."

Elrond smiled and was just about to speak, when three more hobbits ran out of the bushes. "Frodo isn't going anywhere without me!"

"It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret Council and you are not." Elrond hid a smile.

"Or us!" The other two stated, "You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us." They stopped beside Frodo, receiving smiles as they did so. "Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission quest thing." The small faced one spoke up.

"That rules you out then, Pip!" The chubbier one of the two chuckled.

Elrond looked them over, admiration seen clearly in his eyes for everyone willing to go on this dangerous quest. "Ten companions." He stated. "So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring."

Pippin smiled broadly and said innocently, "Great. Where are we going?" He looked around at the others in the Fellowship before resting his eyes on Adrianna. "Oh!" He stated, "A fairy." Aragorn and Gandalf chuckled, causing Adrianna to feel slightly embarrassed and even more so, angry.

Hello readers :) This is my first Lord of the Rings fanfiction therefore I would appreciate no flaming. The story follows the movie script (literally, I found the script on the internet and watched the film's three times!) This is my favourite story I have written and I hope many of you will enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed reading and writing it!

I understand Adrianna may be a little Mary-Sue to begin with. But remember: SHE IS A PRINCESS, quite a spoiled one at that.

Anyway, please enjoy the first chapter and I would love to know what you guys think :) Please drop me a review not a flame, thank you :) xx
