What if Bilbo adopted a human baby that was left on his doorstep when she was just a few days old? Elayna and Frodo grew up together and treat each other as brother and sister so that's what everyone understood them to be. So then eighteen years lat...
Chanting, all I can hear is chanting. Or, is it singing? It doesn't matter. I guess it's an improvement over the nothingness of death. But I can feel things, the air brushing off my skin, the soft touch of a hand against my face. What is going on. I open my eyes to see a blinding light around me. I close my eyes and blink a few times. When I look around I am in a vibrant meadow, all in one piece, no knife sticking out of me. I look down and see even my clothes have changed. So this is where we go after death? It's peaceful, but very lonely. Rolling hills in the distance and a clear blue sky.

I suddenly get the feeling to start moving. Towards the hills. So thats what I do, after a while I begin walking downhill towards a forest. When I reach the bottom I stop. Something is stopping me from taking one step further. I look down and finally notice the dress I am wearing. It's an off the shoulder dress in a lovely shade of lavender and it has a long train. But the material is not heavy, in fact it feels as light as a feather. I feel something heavy atop my head and reach up. I feel cool metal under my fingers as I realise I am wearing a crown.

I look ahead to the path through the forest. Wondering why I can't move forwards, when I notice people walking around a bend down the path. Something about them seems familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I stop, looking around as I wait for them to approach so I can ask them what the hell is going on. It takes only a few moments. The people approach me, holding hands. I smile, it's nice to see such a bond. But, my smile turns bittersweet as I remind myself that I won't have that any longer. The woman is carrying a basket of what seems to be wildflowers and the man has a bow. But when the get close enough they look away from one another towards me and the woman takes a deep breath. "Elayna?" she whispers.
