A sudden cold sensation engulfed me as I appeared into a stream. The temperature of this water was freezing! Luckily I was able to manipulate it to a more soothing degree. Holding my breath under the refreshing water, I looked up towards the surface and saw the sun shining through. It must be midday.

Air rushed through my lungs as I then resurfaced from the small stream; The sun trying to seep through my closed eyelids as I came up.

When my eyes opened, they quickly fell upon an enchanting kingdom before me. Though it was not nearly as spectacular as the structures of Mount Olympus or Atlantis, it looked just as beautiful. Especially how the kingdom illuminated the whole forest. The blue lights beaming from its glory for miles. And as a small portion of blue light was able to reach me, I sighed in content as I was bathed in its calming hue.

The way my mother described her kingdom in the letter she wrote me, didn't do it much justice. Even the Children of Athena would go crazy over its architecture. Most likely asking many, upon many questions. I smiled and laughed at the thought.

I wish I knew them personally. Whenever Athena imagined a child from one of her lovers, they only stayed for a day or two before they were sent to their fathers down in the mortal world. It was heartbreaking to watch them go.
At that moment, Mt. Olympus and in the mortal world a war was happening. Children of Zeus and Hades, along with my brothers and sisters, were all fighting. And this war was also affecting the mortal world as well.

I didn't want any part of it. So, while everyone else was distracted amongst each other, I came to Middle Earth to find my mother. Unfortunately, the only way here to Middle Earth, that I've found anyway, is by Poseidon's Pearls. I have only one to return now. it is around my neck with a chain for security.

Hopefully, this feud will be over by the time I return and Zeus doesn't realize where I've gone in the meantime.

The sound of hooves hitting the soil ground began to echo through the forest putting my last thoughts to the back of my mind as I concentrated on the noise. They were coming fast, with no chance of stopping. At the moment, I could only hear one horse, I'm hoping it stays that way.

Maybe, if I quickly and quietly get out of the river I can evade this horse rider?

I wasn't able to get far though. I only got as far as getting out the river.

"*Daro, Man esselya ná a man thel lîn sinomë?*" (*Halt, What is your name and what is your business here?*) A clear, but strong, commanding voice announced to me.

The question Must have been towards me seeing as I was unaccompanied in these woodlands. When I circled around towards this voice my eyes settled upon an elf, Like my self. He was mounted on his horse, located on the other side of the river.

I couldn't see his face as it was sheltered in by a helmet. The only thing I could get a glimpse at was his short hair seeping through the helmet. He was wearing dark blue protective armor.

"*Im Earenniel a nin thel nin garn.*" (*I am Earenniel and my business is my own.*) I said.

After my words, his bow was lifted up, With a certain rage. He nocked an arrow with a speed that surpassed a regular humans ability. Real welcoming. I answer his question truthfully and he aims an arrow at my head.

I dare not flinch though, all he wants is answers. I do believe he doesn't wish to hurt me.

"*thel lîn ú lîn garn, ava nara nin egor innas tog Na lû Melda tár na tûr .*" (*your business is not your own. If you will not tell me I will take you to my beloved king by force.*)
