Another War

Meeting the Company part 2.

Lord Elronds P.O.V
I shake my head and follow after the strange girl. I notice that she walks with the grace of predator, and she focuses her weight on the balls of her feet.

I refocus on the path as we come to the end of the cramped space and enter the main courtyard. She stops in the center of the clearing that is located in the center of the courtyard and spins to take everything in. And I can't help but feel a little smug that she is clearly amazed by the gardens.
THORINS P.OV.
I watch as the girl that helped us someway in the battle all I can seem to remember is that she came out from behind some boulders and waved a stick that shot green light out of one end and when the light hit anything it droped dead. Now she walks by the elf lord with a grace that reminds me of my mother. Beautiful but Deadly.

When we reach the end of the tunnel we see a sprawling valley filled with structures and in the center is a mansion of sorts that speeds out to connect to each of the main roads as the city spirals outward in circles. The Elf Lord leads us through the city to the center and motions us inside the manor. He leads us to the dining hall.
AMBERS POV
we are lead to the dining hall and the elf lord rounds on me. "Who are you?" He demands. "Amber Potter-Pervelle-Black-Gryffiondor-Hufflepuff-Ravenclaw-Slytherin-Gaunt-Le Fay-Merlin. But for the time being call me Amber Le Fay." I said and from the looks on the faces of everyone present they weren't expecting me to be so softly spoken especially after what I did to those pathetic excuses for guards. I smile reassuringly at everyone. As we sit to eat Lord Elrond clears his throat before speaking.
AMBERS POV
"I believe we have all been patient in regards to who and what you are, my girl." I snarl lightly at the endearment but shake it off and nod my head. "I will only ask that you do not inturupt once I start talking, this is already hard enough to talk about." I pause slightly and get nods and understanding filled looks. I take a deep breath, "I guess it starts on the thirty-first of January 1980, a little girl was born to James and Lily Potter at one minute to midnight. They named the little girl Amber. The small family of three lived in seclusion and peace for a year and some months, until the thirty-first of october. When a mad man hell bent on killing the small girl found their home, because of a traitor. James had just picked up Amber to put her to bed, when the door was blown off its hinges. He passed the toddler to her mother and yelled "lily its him! Take Amber and run, I'll hold him off, run!" Lily darted up the stares with her daughter cliches tightly to her and as she made the landing she heard the distinct sound of a body gittlg the floor, She choked on a sob and darted into the nursery. She plied almost everything in the room in front of the door in a futile attempt to keep the dark wizard out. He banished the door and everything in front of it and killed Lily. He tried to do the same to Amber but something happened and he was killed instead. And so the girl-who-lived was made out of the ashes of her destroyed life, only to rise like a Phoenix."
Xxxxxxxxxx Time skip xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX(A/N everything that happened to harry happened to Amber, so not going through that life story, especially when its almost five in the morning and i haven't slept yet ;)
GENRAL POV
Every one stared at the small gir... No woman that sat next to Lord Elrond in amazment. Lord Elrond looked at her with barley concealed shock and admiration, Amber flushed under the stares of the Elves, Darrow, Hobbit, and Istrai in the dining pavilion. Then Thorin said "that was quite the story, Lady Le'Fey. Would you be adverse to joining another adventure?" The Darrow all gasped in shock because, Thorin was never this polite to any body. She smiled and replied.
"I do believe that's why I'm here. Right before we meet the Valar had just droped me off behind the rocks, as I was leaving valnor they told me that I would have to fight another war in order to find my New Family and a Lover. So I am both willing and prepared to go with you. As I notice the young master Baggins looks a little unwilling to go any further on the quest. If its no trouble I would like to take over his position." The dwarves had been steadily coming closer as she was talking. Bilbo looked a little shocked at being refered to as 'young.' Gandalf buts in with "the reason master Baggins is here is because he is a hobbit and smaug does not know his sent as he does dwarf, elf,and man. So my dear it would be completely pointless for you to take his place." He smiles kindly as if he thinks I'm stupid. She smiles back, but its more of a baring of teeth. "Well in that case I can just use a sent blocking spell to get past him 'recognizing' my sent and use my invisibility cloak so he can't see me." She smirks at the shell shocked look on gandalfs face. He nods in acceptance and turns to Bilbo "I know that you did not want to come on this adventure so I give you a choice. You can go back to bagend. Or you can stay here for the rest of your days. Or you could continue on with us and see the lonly mountain reclaimed." Bilbo looks at Gandalf in shock. "I.... I think I'll stay here if its ok with lord Elrond and Thorin of course." Lord Elrond nods his head yes and Thorin tears his contract in half.

(Later that night)
APOV
I'm sitting in the main garden just thinking about my old life when suddenly I remember a song that my mom sang to me when I was a child and I start singing.

TPOV(Thorin)
I'm walking through the garden after the evening meal when I hear a beautiful voice start singing

"Lay down.
Your sweet and weary head.
Night is falling.
You have come to journeys end.
Sleep now.

Dream of the ones who came before.
They are calling from across the distant shore.

Why do you weep,
What are these tears upon your face.
Soon you will see
All of your fears will pass away.
Safe in my arms.

Your only sleeping.
What can you see on the horizon.
Why do the white gulls call.
Across the sea a pale moon rises.
The ships have come to carry you home.

And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water, all souls pass.
Hope fades.
Into the world of night.
Through shadows falling.
Out of memory and time.
Don't say, we have come now to the end.

White shores are calling.
You and will meet again.
And you'll be hear in my arms, just sleeping.

What can you see on the horizon.
Why do the white gulls call.
Across the sea a pale moon rises.
The ships have come to carry you home.

And all will turn to silver glass.
A light on the water, grey ships pass.
Into the West.

About half way through the song I find the person singing and am surprised to see the newest addition to my company. Amber. I hate to inturupt her but she needs to know. "Lady Le'Fey" I speak softly and she turns to face me "your majesty" she says softly. "We leave at day break, I would get some sleep." She smiles gently at me gesturing for me to sit with her. After I sit down she starts talking. "Thank you for telling me, and for your concern. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep." She says softly. "Why not?" I ask, she sighs. "Call me Amber please, and the reason that I won't be able to sleep is nightmares from the war." I nod in understanding. "Very well Amber, you may call me Thorin. I understand your delimma and sympathize. On another note you have a very beautiful voice." She blushes slightly. "You heard that!" She asks slightly embarrassed. "Yes. I was wondering where you heard that song it is very beautiful." The blush fades from her face as she thinks about the song. "Thank you, I don't know the origins of the song. All I know is my mother once sang it to me and its called Into The West." She whispers just loud enough that i can hear her. "Its a wonderful song, that has wonderful meaning but we must at least try to get some sleep."
She nods and we both go to our rooms.
