**********************MIDNIGHT***********************
*Nightfall had spent the rest of the day, trying to behave like usual. She had her fencing lesson with mother Leetah, put a frog in her twin brothers teacup, and even asked daddy Sebastian for help with her homework. In between her guest appearances in the house to act normal, she had been in her room, packing everything she might need for a journey. She even managed to find some money.
Shortly before midnight she managed to sneak out of the house without her family noticing. She ran quickly over the green meadows, till she arrived at the riverbank, afraid to be too late. Afraid that Legolas might have change his mind, and not wanting to bring her along after all. She stood quietly in the shadows, waiting and listening. The air was chilly, and she pulled her cloak tighter around her.*

*From somewhere in the shadows came his hushed voice*
"Nightfall. Over here."
*It sounded as though it was coming from the trees*

*Nightfall's sharp ears quickly recognized the voice, and she ran in the direction of the trees, afraid that someone might see her.*
"I was so afraid you had changed your mind," *she whispered.*

*He stood, pack shouldered and dressed ready for travel*
"Certainly not. For all that Lorien is beautiful, I don't think I could stay much longer."

*She grinned broadly.*
"Me neither. Thank you for bringing me with you on your journey. It is very kind of you. So.... Where do we go now?"

"You're welcome. Anything for a kindred spirit."
*He moved a bit into the trees*
"This way..." He said, beckoning.
"There is a path, that if you walk it a certain way, it brings you to Paris."

*Nightfall followed him without hesitation, eager to see a whole new world.*
"This path has been here all along, and I didn't know about it?"
*She laughed.*
"Where in Paris should we go first? There are so many places I want to see."

"That's the strange thing about this path," he said, as they walked through the darkness.
"Sometimes it appears, and sometimes it isn't here at all and you have to wait before going back to Paris."
*He paused a moment, then turned left*
"And, anywhere in Paris. Everywhere."

*She followed him, her eyes widened when she heard about that information.*
"Is this how you came to Lorien in the first place?"
*She followed his steps, afraid to be separated from him and end up in a place where she couldn't find her way home.*

"Oh, no. This is simply one of the few ways to the human world from our world. I came to Lorien following the Anduin river."

*She smiled dreamingly.*
"I wish I could travel on the Anduin river one day. Mother says it is to dangerous for me. She doesn't want me to get detected by the devilish people threatening Lorien."

*He scoffed*
"The Anduin protects us. There is power in it that the devilish would be wise to be wary of."

*Nightfall looked up at him, interested.*
"Would you care to tell me more about the power of Anduin? You see, my twin brother Beraht Cutter and I were created to fulfill a mission: To extinct the devilish people before they extinct us."

"Once, years ago, the Lady Arwen of Rivendell called upon the power of the river to aid her. They are special magic words, that brings the waters almost to life--and they will come and help you against your enemies."
*He paused, thoughtfully, as they moved onwards*
"I don't know the words myself. Only the descendants of Arwen and Elrond have that knowledge."

*Nightfall looked up at him, interested.*
"Really? I should speak to my mother then. She is a reincarnation of Lady Arwen of Rivendell. Mother is the Shaman of White Magic here in Lorien."
