I’ve never met someone like you

A fanfic about an adventurous hobbit and her elf rescuer.
First: A hobbit in trouble

A tree trunk in a forest in sunlight.

Mentha pushed herself through another bush and tried to keep up with the swift elf. She was used to go through the forest off road, but this. This was something else. Panting she stumbled forward wondering where they were headed.

A hobbit in trouble

A fanfic about an adventurous hobbit and her elf rescuer.
