DISCLAIMER: This fanfic doesn't belong to me it belongs to my friend as we're writing it together. All credit goes to the amazing J.R.R. Tolkein the only thing that belongs to us is the plot and our characters as they are self inserted (Alatáriël and Maetharanel which is our elven characters)

Chapter 1: Waking up in Rivendell

"Lasto beth nîn. Tolo dan na ngalad." ("Hear my voice, come back to the light.") A deep baritone echoed in Frodo's ears as he tried to gain consciousness.

Slowly he could feel his body once again. Yet a constant ache seemed to flow through his body. Frodo swallowed as he tried to calm himself. He could sense someone nearby but the presence did not seem to be threatening to his person. Gaining courage Frodo opened his eyes and quickly clenched them closed as the bright sunlight hurt his eyes.

Slowly as to get used to the light Frodo once again opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. He lay on a bed much larger then he. Sheets made of the finest silk covered his body soothing his aching muscles. Archways made of a light grey, nearly white stone caused the room to look circular in shape and let much of the light inside the room.

"Where am I?" Frodo asks to himself quietly not expecting a reply. However he soon remembered that he was not alone as the presence he had sensed whilst he gained conciousness spoke.

"You are in the house of Elrond. And it is ten o'clock in the morning, on October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know." Gandalf the Grey stated as he smoked his pipe. Looking at Gandalf in surprise Frodo shouted the wizards name glad that his friend was once again nearby.

"Yes… I'm here. And you're lucky to be here, too. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid. But you have some strength in you, my dear hobbit!" Gandalf gently scolded Frodo but smiled as to take away the sting from his words. "What happened, Gandalf? Why didn't you meet us?" Frodo asked the wizard as he sat up and leant against the pillows that were situated behind him.

"Oh I'm sorry Frodo… I was delayed." Gandalf said regretfully as his gaze seemed to dull. Frodo took notice of the wizards expression and quickly realised that he would not get a more detailed explanation. "Gandalf? What is it?" Frodo asked wanting to get the wizard back to the present. His question had the desired effect as the wizard shook his head slightly before answering the young hobbit. "Nothing, Frodo."

Just as Gandalf finished speaking a tapping of feet could be heard coming nearer to the room. Looking towards the doorway a smile grew upon Frodo's face.

"Frodo! Frodo!"

"Sam!", Frodo exclaimed as Sam entered the room and came to the side of the bed and clasped Frodo's hands between his own.

"Bless you, you're awake!" Sam exclaims as he grins down at him causing young Frodo to laugh in delight at his friends actions. "Sam has hardly left your side." Gandalf explained the hobbits strange behaviour. "We were that worried about you, weren't we Mister Gandalf?" Sam insisted looking towards the wizard as he waited for the wizard to agree which he did so with a single nod and a smile.

"By the skills of Lord Elrond, you're beginning to mend." Gandalf the Grey told the pair as an elf entered the room on silent feet. The two hobbits took notice of the elf's arrival as he came to stand beside the wizard at the hobbits bedside.

Lord Elrond stood at a rather tall height especially in the hobbits point of view. He was slightly taller than Gandalf however given his actual age he resembled neither a man young or old however Frodo could see the many years of experience and knowledge the elf had gained clearly on his face. His eyes were grey and shined very much like starlight and hair black as a ravens wing was tied into an intricate braid that fell down to the middle of his back. Overall Frodo found him to be a striking individual especially with the circlet of silver that the elven lord wore around his head.

"Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins." Lord Elond said with a welcoming smile causing Frodo to feel more at ease in front of the elf and he returned a grateful smile in return.

End of chap 1!
