Same view
'Today was the day we would be leaving', I thought as I as I packed my emergency med kit, before placing it in my purse, which thankfully looked like a medium sized black satchel, placing it carefully in one of the many pockets by my phone and ear buds, a small sewing kit, over twenty spare throwing knives, emergency rations, some rope, and one multi tool. I wore a simple black-gray elven travel dress over which was elven light armor, it had a short open skirt that didn't restrict my movement, along with a pair of sturdy black leggings, all of which had many hidden pockets for my throwing knives, my long silver daggers were strapped to my hip, one on each side by a thin but strong belt, on which were three pouches for different herbs. Satisfied, I walked down towards the gates, where Aragorn was already waiting, with a somewhat dark look on his face.
"It's about Arwen, isn't it", I asked as I sat on the stone beside him.
"Yes, but I am only feeling guilty",he said. Putting my hand on his shoulder I said.
"What ever her decision is it is her's." He just sighed.
"You are right", he said grabbing the pendant that was hanging around his neck, before smiling.

Same view minutes later.
I watched Sam quietly as he is checking the pony, Bill.
"Rope", he muttered. "No rope! And only last night you said to yourself: 'Sam, what about a bit of rope? You'll want it, if you haven't got it.' Well, I'll want it. I can't get it now."
"Hey, it will be okay Sam, I have got some in my satchel", I whispered.
"Really? That's good", he said happily just as Elrond and Frodo came out. Frodo took his place among us, as my master just looked carefully at each of our faces be for saying.
"The Ring-bearer is setting out on the Quest of Mount Doom. On you who travel with him, no oath nor bond is laid to go further that you will. Farewell. Hold to your purpose. May the blessing of Elves and Men and all Free Folk go with you." Just before he walked away he gave me a small approving nod, as Arwen mouthed her good byes.
"The Fellowship awaits the Ring-bearer.", said Gandalf to frodo as he makes his way to the front of our group.
"Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?", he asked.
"Left.", Gandalf answered so Frodo began walking in that direction. We walked in silence for nearly an hour, before I decided to break the silence by whispering.
" I believe now would be a good time to truly introduced our selves, for the sake of stopping future misunderstanding, as most of us have all but avoided each other. My name is Tempest Ankareeda, you may call me Tempest, or any other previously agreed upon names, and I will say it now in the hopes of not breaking any future relationships, but I have my fair share of secrets like anyone, though mine maybe a little stranger and when and if I tell you is up to me, so your not allowed to get mad when I do, oh and I enjoy any kind of art, okay I'm done who's next?" I asked. Boromir just opened and closed his mouth, before Aragorn sighed saying.
"It alway with the theatrics with you isn't it, Tempest."
"Yup, it's more fun that way", I answered,"but seriously, I want introductions, I only really know you, Gandalf and the hobbits."
"Your a very strange elf, aren't you lass", said Gimli.
"That I am, and that is how I like it", I answered.
"Well then, you may call me Gimli, and this axe is for the heads of our enemies", he states before looking at legolas,"lets see you do one better, elf."
