But with the death of her adoptive father, an odd desire took over Aleandra: the need to find her "real" family, and why she had been sent into the South. Knowing of the entended library Imladris offered, she set out to the elven city far in the North, with Silfëa, her fox, at her side. But the journey wasn't as smooth as they had anticipated. Comming near the dreaded lands of Mordor, she was ambushed by a group of orcs, led by am ennemy from Harad. For weeks she was in their clutches, her force failing with each day of torture that passed. But Eru had not abandoned her yet: an opportunity offered itself, and she was able to flee to Lothlorien. There her wounds were treated and her wounds slowly healed, with the help of Luinarien, who was in the Golden woods at the time.
