"The Woodland Realm?" Frodo found himself repeating, like a bird. It had to make him wonder...what on earth was an elf doing in such a place like this? There were no trees, no grass. Frodo had never heard of a place in Middle-earth like this before.

His answer soon came after. A ship that sails upon stars...

Whatever questions he had were soon answered. But it left him speechless for the moment. Sailing through the stars was enough for him to grasp, let alone not being in Middle-earth. If they weren't in Middle-earth then...where were they? And how did they end up in such a place, anyway?

Frodo swallowed, and continued onto the next question. "Why are we here?"
