A Terrain of Evil.

Chapter 1: Adventure?

      For the past few years I have changed mentally and physically.

My chestnut colored hair has grown down to my waist, and my eye color often changes from baby blue to gray.

I've learned that not only can I control all four elements, I can also speak to people through there minds and can communicate to nature.

Although having this spell being cast on me seems like a great thing, it has its advantages and disadvantages at times.

While in Mirkwood, I've grown closer to King Thranduil and his son, Legolas. Thranduil told me that his son fancies me, but I simply brushed it off because he pays more attention to Tauriel.

All of my focus is on The Ellendalla Talc. I simply have no time for romance.

About 2 days ago, Gandalf The Grey sent a letter telling me to meet him in Bree. He says he has to tell me something very urgent.

Although I have no clue what it is.

As I walked through the doors of the Prancing Pony, I pulled my hood over my head while the scent of beer and smoke filled my nostrils.

I walked towards an empty table and sat down as I waited for Gandalf.

"Do you need anything? Perhaps a drink or food?" The waitress inquired.

I shook my head. "No thank you milady."

"Very well then." She replied as she walked off to handle a group of drunk men.

"Is this seat taken Princess Brendalle?" I heard a voice say.

I then looked up suddenly to see Gandalf smiling brightly at me.

"Gandalf. What a pleasure to you. It's been too long," I stated.

"Why have you summoned me here, if I may ask?"

"I need you to help me with something."

"And what is that?"

"An adventure." Gandalf said wisely.

I sighed. "I'm afraid I can't help you with your adventure Gandalf. I am sorry. I'm already on a quest of my own."

"It involves the Ellendalla Talc if I'm not mistaken. Am I correct?"

I nodded my head. "Yes, you are correct. How do you know of my quest?" I asked.

"Thranduil." He answered.

I shook my head and chuckled. "Of course." I muttered.

"What would you do if I told you this particular adventure could help you gain the Ellendalla Talc back?"

I smiled and gestured for him to keep talking.

"The Dwarves of Erebor have decided to take up arms and reclaim their homeland. In order to do that, they must first defeat Smaug. Both The Arkenstone and The Ellendalla Talc are hidden in Erebor."

"I see what your doing..." I said without sympathy while I leaned back into my chair.

"You want me to actually fight side by side and help the Dwarves of Erebor reclaim their homeland? The Dwarves of Erebor are the reason why my homeland and the Severrade race doesn't exist anymore."

"Brendalle, now would your father want you to act like this or would he want you to take this chance and destroy the Ellendalla Talc?"

I thought for a moment and sighed.

'He's right. My father would want me to take this opportunity.'

I know there was no way of getting out of this.

I looked up at Gandalf and replied, "I'm only in it for the Talc and nothing more."

"Good! I will see you at Bag End by dusk tomorrow."

"Wait, Bag End? Isn't that in the Shire?" I asked slightly confused.

Gandalf nodded. "We will be meeting up at Bilbo Baggins hobbit hole."

"The son of Belladonna Took?"

"Yes." Gandalf said.

"Is he apart of this adventure also?"

"Yes, indeed he is. He is the most important one on this adventure."

"Why?" I questioned.

"He is our burglar."
