Summary: Finding themselves trapped in the bodies of elflings was not how the Mount siblings envisioned their summer break. On a completely unrelated note, if you find abandon jewelry in a free box on the roadside, chances are you probably shouldn't touch them. Pairings are undecided. Oc (s) included

A/N: Me randomly getting inspired to make brand new fanfic for a series that has so much lore, characters, and events that I will most likely get things confused and accidentally offend someone with misinformation? Haha why yes, yes it is! That said, I love the world J.R.R Tolkien created as well as the character, but I also haven't read the books in a while and the movies only go so far in depth to the history soooo, apologizes ahead of time for any mistakes/errors made!

Story is also inspired by SimplySupreme's An Angel's Heaven (it's legit the reason why I made this soooo)

The ring was small and slightly rusted.

But it fit perfectly around his index finger. With faint etchings sprawled around its center, interlocking at either end, while the Auburn tinted sheen of the metal glowed under the rays of the sun. All in all, Tarrigon Mount concluded that the ring was a good find.

His grey eyes fell upon his younger sisters form, fiddling around through the free boxes that had been left on the side of the road. Catching the sight of something shining in her hands, Tarrigon stepped towards her for a closer look.

It looked very much like a circlet crown.

Simple and silvery in color and style with pearly clear droplets hanging from its woven sides, it was clear to the both of them it was certainly no costume trinket. His sister, somewhat excited by the find settled the glittering thing upon her head, locking it on her forehead with a smile. A perfect fit for her. Which when they would come to look on it, would find that they should not have brushed it off as a mere coincidence.

Once the pair had deemed the rest of the free stuff were useless, the two began their way back to their father's house, journeying through the forests that ran along and encompassed the town.

It was not uncommon for teens or any other residents of the town to roam through the forest, weaving between the trees especially during the warm summer days. The trees provided a fair amount of shade and were also usually the popular getaway place for couples, broken hearts, and drunken wandering. Although there were a few rules that regarded the place, like where you should go or the places that were unstable

Of course, the Mounts were not too keen on the rules and known knowledge of the town as they were not originally from there have come to stay with their father for the summer. It was the first time they had seen the man in half a decade, the last being for the youngest Alanna's eleventh birthday and before then another half a decade prior.

And for their promise to their late mother who had unfortunately passed two years earlier, they had agreed to reconnect with their father much to their grandparents, who they lived with, disapproval. After several backs and forths, Tarragon and Alya Mount found themselves at their fathers small two bedroom house in an isolated town. They would be staying with him for the entire summer, all the way up to the last weekend before the start of the new school year.

At first, both of them had thought it would be easy, that they would be able to reconnect with their father however they had soon found themselves beyond boredom. As most towns that were small there wasn't anything to do, a small diner on the busy corner, a very, very retro arcade (circa 1970s at least) and a small pool (which was more like a lukewarm bathtub, ultimately leaving the siblings bored to death.

When their dad wasn't home, having to work full shifts 6 days a week, Tarrigon and Alanna had found themselves watching DVD reruns and replaying Mario 64 on repeat for the first few weeks. After of which, when they had exhausted their movie and tv show supply they went down to the shotty and old looking movie rental store every morning for new shows and snacks. Although there were many movies, most were old classics or were merely scratched discs and thus grew tiring sifting through the bins to find an even workable disc.

Which was how they resulted in wandering around and exploring the forest and hidden pathways crossing through town. That was also how they came upon the trinkets, in a pile of free hoxes left not so conspicuously on the side of the toad just asking for some curious teens to pick through.

In any other circumstance, Tarrigon would've never picked ou the ring, although he did reckon Alanna would've either way in terms of the headpiece, after watch having rewatched the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy as well as the Hobbit trilogy on repeat for the last two weeks, along with half a dozen seasons of Supernatural and Star Trek: The Enterprise, he blamed the intrigue and influence on the movies.

Making their way through the ancient trees, messing around, throwing piles of leaves and dirt (Tarrigon) and playfully knocking one another into the old oaks (Alanna), Mount's adventure quickly halted by the sound of thunder rumbling overhead. And within a minute a realizing what was happening, the siblings quickly found themselves trapped in a violent downpour. With leaves and branches falling down on them like arrows while their vision soon clouded by their own hair and the rain.

It didn't take long for them to find themselves completely and utterly lost, stumbling aimlessly through the woods. Unfortunately for the pair, it wasn't the end of their misfortune as Tarrigon's foot lost its balance, plummeting into the generally calm and steady waters, although at that moment having been replaced by nasty and monstrous rapids.

After the sounds of her brothers cry perpetrated the air, Alanna was fast to jump towards him in unadulterated worry and concern, grabbing as tightly as she could his wrist.

"Hang on Tarrigon!" she called down to him as she tried pulling him back up but to no avail as the ground begun to sink and slip out from beneath her, the mud giving out as she too, came crashing into her brother and joining in on the hazardous waters.

Amidst the chaos, neither of the siblings noticed the stranger and vibrant glow emitting from their newfound trinkets. And as like lightning the pair had flashed out of the roaring waters disappearing from not just it but the forest as a whole, the birds being the only witnesses to the ordeal and as the storm that had so quickly statted calmed just as fast returning both the waters and the trees to the cheerful sunny day it had been only minutes prior.

Notes:

Tarrigon - totally didn't mean for it to be like the spice whoops!

Alanna- the name means 'precious child' and in Gaelic, it means 'beauty/serenity'
