Her Foresight | Aragorn Fanfiction

Chapter One: Welcome to Imladris

Adara swore that she fell asleep in her bed last night or was it on the couch in the living room, whichever one it was, she knew that she would have noticed if she decided to become one with nature and actually breathe fresh air by sleeping outside. She pushed her vibrant copper hair out of her face and looked at her surroundings. Imagine her surprise when she looked around to see a certain overload of the colour green and to feel her clothes wet although, she realised that all she was wearing was an old shirt of her dads that fell to her mid thigh, showing off the ends of the snake tattoo on her right leg. Adara was also lucky that it covered all of her bits because she was surrounded by these weirdly dressed girls or were they men with long hair...

One of them stepped forward, looking her over suspiciously before another spoke in a weird language she didn't understand. Seeing that she didn't understand them, they tried speaking another language. This one she understood.

"Who are you? And what are you doing in our borders?" He demanded, trying to glare her into submission. She pursed her lips and narrowed her brown eyes at the guy, looking him over to see if he truly was a threat to her which she could see that he was not. Confidence bred from arrogance never looked pretty on anyone. Adara was purely a Daddy's girl through and through so in an effort to ease her fathers overprotective tendencies, she took up boxing at a young age eventually taking up other forms of martial arts like aikido and taekwondo until she finally met her most recent obsession and love besides reading and movies; Mixed Martial Arts.

She however did not know where she was so she decided that doing as he asked would be a good bet. "I am Adara. As for why I am here, I don't even know where here is." She watched as he narrowed his eyes at her, having heard the snark and disdain in her voice. The guy made a move to grab her but the voice of another stopped him.

Two men moved through the group, both of them identical to the other. They glared at the one who was about to grab her before scolding him in whatever language they spoke. She watched them passively, not really caring about their conversation and more interested in the knots that she just knew were in her hair. Reaching to the top of her head, she pulled free her hair from the scrunchie and actually sighed in relief as her severe headache disappeared. Sometimes she hated how long her hair was (to just about her mid thigh range, almost to her knees) and constantly thought about doing a Britney Spears and shaving it all off but her father; her father that she missed more than anything had loved her hair so for as long as she lived, it would never be cut.

So preoccupied was she with thoughts of hair, fathers and carrots that she did not notice the silence around her until she had successfully brushed out every knot in her hair with her fingers, so roughly half an hour to an hour. "You will come with us." One of the twins said to her in English although it sounded weird to her. Almost as if he didn't speak English often.

Where the hell was she that the people around her didn't speak English often? Certainly not the town she grew up in where everyone spoke English and guys certainly didn't have long hair.

Adara nodded her head before standing. The hippies, as she had taken to calling them in her head because of their long hair looked away in embarrassment, redness rushing to their cheeks. She looked at them weirdly before remembering what she was wearing. Adara rolled her eyes at them but still made an attempt to cover her legs although she knew it was no use.

One of the twins gave her a cloak to wear which took her awhile to put on because, well, she'd never worn a cloak before. "Just where the hell am I? The freaking Stone Ages that somehow has hippies." She muttered under her breath, not knowing that they could hear her as she spoke about the hippies; whatever hippies were.

The group walked in silence with Adara in the middle, surrounded. Very smart she thought, putting her in the middle of their group just in case she was a threat. Which she wasn't but still. Adara looked around at the forest in awe of its beauty. She had always been fascinated with the beauty of nature and would regularly walk through the public gardens in her hometown. It was not the outside world that made her not wish to leave her house often, it was the people in her town. She did not like a lot of the townsfolk. She really only liked the people she had met through her regular trips to the bookstore, the gym and her martial arts class.

Soon a building came into her line of sight and she gasped in shock. It was beautiful. The waterfall. The white stone walls. It was unlike anything she had ever seen. They passed under a grand archway and were greeted by a stern looking, brown haired hippie that looked suspiciously like the twin males that had helped her with the other hippie. "Welcome to Imladris." The hippie greeted her. Adara was going to faint, she knew it.

Turning to one of the Elves that stood to her left, she opened her mouth and said, "I'm going to faint in about five seconds. Please catch me."

Then darkness took her.

She was convinced that this was a bad dream or a nightmare. She was in Imladris or Rivendell as it was in the Common Tongue of Middle Earth. Those weren't hippies, they were Elves. And that stern looking, brown haired hippie could only be one person; Lord Elrond. Her brown eyes flung open as she took in her surroundings. The panic began to build inside her when she didn't recognise anything.

"You gave us quite the fright, Lady Adara." The Elf Lord said, merely looking at her with a blank expression on his face.

Unsure of whether she needed to bow or not, she simply inclined her head. "Lord Elrond. It is a pleasure to meet you." said Adara, rather nervously.

The Elf Lord raised his eyebrow at her before speaking, "My sons and the guards were under the impression that you had no knowledge of this place and where you were, yet you know of me," he said. "How is that?"

Adara could have hit herself right then. She had told them that she didn't know of the place that she was, yet she knew the man, Elf, whatever that ran the place. She didn't know what to say when an idea popped into her head. Adara knew it was stupid but it might actually work. "I don't know....it's like I saw you in a dream." She said, hoping that he would believe her and take the bait. She was not disappointed.

He looked at her sharply. "And what else? What else did you see?" He demanded from her. She was unsure of when in the Lord of the Rings timeline she was but she hoped it was closer to the Fellowship of the Rings time. "I saw a woman with golden hair and a child. One with a great destiny shrouded in shadow and death but also love," she forced a dazed look in her eye. One that she was sure that Luna Lovegood would of been proud of. Adara suddenly had the urge to recite Bilbo's poem about Aragorn.

"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."

She almost broke when she saw the shocked face of Lord Elrond but continued her acting role. She blinked dramatically before clutching her head, pretending to be in pain before looking around in pretend shock. "My Lord Elrond, are you okay sir? You don't look too well." The Elf Lord shook his head as if trying to get over his own shock.

"No I am fine. Quite fine," he told her before standing abruptly. "If you would excuse me my lady, I must regretfully leave for a prior engagement but I shall return tonight to check on you."

Adara nodded her thanks to the Lord as he left the room briskly as if his enemies were stood right behind him.

He missed the sigh of relief and then the hoots of happiness.

So new story! Seeing as my other Aragorn Fanfiction is almost finished, I decided to start this one. I just thought I'd put the first chapter up as a sneak peek as I probably will not update this one until Estel is finished. If you've read Estel then as you can tell, this one will be different.

Anyways hope you enjoyed xx
