Mistress of the Fellowship (LOTR)

* 4 * Hobbits

Years passed gracefully for the young Alexzandron girl as she taught herself many new traits while advancing her skills each day all while searching for the wizard responsible for the deaths of her family and also the dark lord Sauron’s ring so all men would not be slain. Although she was killing a few men she kept up the oath of the honor of her family of being a defender of mankind.

She no longer bared the name Kordelia for now all her wanted posters and legends about her called her Ryker but yet no one ever knew she was an Alexzandron for they were now just a myth.

Years passed heavily as she wandered the lands over and over again in search while spilling more blood of those bad men who did her people wrong until the day she killed one of the dwarf kings. As she left the mines something seemed very odd. Without hesitation of going to wipe off the blood from her previous kill she mounted Cadeyrn and rode swiftly to the south from Lindon toward the Shire. Home to hobbits which was also home to a strange hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who strayed away from home and in his adventures crossed the creature Gollum’s path that was known to possess the ring.

It was possible now that Bilbo may have taken the ring and in the hands of a hobbit middle earth would sooner or later belong to Sauron.

When Ryker arrived to the Shire there was a great celebration going on. A birthday party for Bilbo Baggins himself. From the forest Ryker watched the great celebration as Gandalf the grey wizard set off fireworks and dazzled the hobbits. Soon Bilbo was up giving a speech and something compelled Ryker toward him but there were too many hobbits around for her to act on this instinct.

Suddenly Bilbo disappeared completely startling Ryker as she jumped to her feet as her heart began to race. She knew this was Sauron’s ring! The ring wraiths would soon come to kill the hobbits!

Ryker made her way closer to the people and followed Gandalf to the home of Bilbo Baggins. A smart move for if he had not Bilbo would have gotten a frightening visit from Ryker.

A stench from the south made Ryker angry. There was no doubt now that the ring wraiths were coming!

Ryker mounted Cadeyrn and asked Celegorn to scout ahead to find the ring wraiths while she witnessed what the hobbits would do.

One of Bilbo’s kin was now in possession of the ring as Bilbo left to Rivendell to live with the elves but now the dark haired hobbit, Frodo Baggins, was in grave danger.

Celegorn appeared with a screech telling Ryker the ring wraiths were near. Ryker turned Cadeyrn around and drew her sword and went looking for the demons. It was not hard with the help of Celegron above the trees showing the way but the shrieks of the beasts were loud and distinct.

Ryker was up against not one but four ring wraiths. The banging of swords filled the country sides as Ryker fought fearless keeping the four from finding the hobbits but there was still five more ringwraiths. With one ear Ryker listened to the footsteps of the hobbits as they ran. There was now four hobbits all together and there was three ring wraiths on their tail. They were near the Buckleberry ferry and that was their only hope for it was the only crossing for twenty miles of the Brandywine River.

As soon as their footsteps were gone Ryker wiped two riders out of their saddles as Cadeyrn reared up and knocked one rider and horse to the ground and then Ryker sprung from Cadeyrn’s back and tackled the last rider to the ground and there she stabbed him. The overwhelming shock jerked through her arm making her grit her teeth but she did not show pain as she jerked out the sword before mounting Cadeyrn and taking off toward Bree with the knowing that she had not slain the wraith but only wounded him.

On the way Ryker quickly found the tracks of the both hobbits and ringwraiths. They were certainly on a quick path to the Prancing Pony where Frodo was to meet with Gandalf the Grey wizard.

Cadeyrn jumped into the river without hesitation and began swimming. Ryker jumped off and grabbed his mane and kicked her legs to swim with him.

As soon as Cadeyrn’s feet could touch ground Ryker pulled herself back onto his back and they were off again running toward the Prancing pony.

Celegron was circling the pub telling Ryker the hobbits where inside so Ryker dismounted Cadeyrn and snuck into the town as the rain came pouring down. Inside she watched and listened carefully as the hobbits went about their business.

While waiting Ryker got a strange feeling. She recognized someone inside but how she did not know nor did she know their name. That was not important at this time for she had to see to it that the hobbits made it to Rivendell.

Suddenly Frodo Baggins felt threatened and did something very foolish. He put the ring on as his uncle and disappeared. Ryker jumped to her feet and turned and punched the wall making her knuckles bleed. Foolish hobbit! The ring wraiths were coming back! Foolish hobbit! Ryker clenched her jaw and hurried to the door to enter the Prancing Pony and when she entered she saw a man taking Frodo upstairs. Quickly she exited the pub and hurried and climbed the roof until she heard the hobbit’s voice.

Relief swarmed through her as she realized it was a ranger. He would show the hobbits to Rivendell and Ryker would try and keep off as many ring wraiths as possible.

Within time the ring wraiths showed up in Bree followed by the hobbits and ranger named Strider leaving Bree and setting out to Rivendell. Not an easy task with ring wraiths and four unknowing hobbits.
