Galadriel
"I was thinking that we could change the woods' name. Perhaps something
like, 'the Silver Wood'. I think it is music to the ears, don't you?"
That's it. That's what did it. I just cracked. I mean, I had figured out
ages ago, that Celeborn wasn't all he made out to be, but I had just put up
with him. And so I burst.
"Silver Wood!? Silver Wood!? What is your reasoning? For you can surely have none?"
"Well, I mean, 'Golden Wood' is just getting a bit stale."
"STALE!? Gold is never 'stale'! Just because it doesn't look good on you and it does on me, is no reason to hate it! YOU're the one who's stale! All you ever do is stand at my side!" Celeborn's eyes widened, and he took a step backwards. The entire time I had been talking my eyes had been boring holes into him.
"Well, uh." There was small pause in the conversation, during which I realized the implications of my actions. I hastily tried to compose myself.
"Do not heed what I said. I am sorry. It is all right. We can change the name to what ever you want. You are probably right. I think I should go rest. I grow weary." I walked out of the chamber. Celeborn called my name after me, but I pretended not to hear.
The next day Celeborn did not join me for breakfast. I did not see him for the rest of the day either. He was avoiding me. I knew it. What entitled him to avoid his own wife? Fine. Two could play the same game.
We continued in this manner for some time. A few friends were visiting from Mirkwood, and I imagine we must have looked very strange to them. At the end of a week, I felt I had to do something. Celeborn was in the courtyard when I finally found him. He looked up at me, and our eyes met. I stared into them and saw no love and no feeling, at least none for me. Celeborn knew what I had seen and looked away.
"I had just come to tell you that I think we cannot go one this way."
"Go on in what way?"
"The way we have been hiding from each other for the past week."
"I am Lord of Lothlorien, and I do not hide from my own wife."
"Yes, and I am Lady of Lothlorien. If I can admit to hiding from my spouse, so can you." And I walked off. I barely felt the floor against me. My feet took me out of doors and into the gardens. I doubt even they knew where they were going. The forest unfolded around me, but I didn't noticed. I was dipping my feet in Nimrodel before I realized how far I had gone. Sitting down on the banks, I contemplated what to do. If I were to stay like this, and give Celeborn my leave to do what he wanted, my life would surely be unbearable. On the other hand, what was I to do otherwise? I sat on those banks for a long while, till the sun started to dip down low in the sky. I started home, but I had a suspicious feeling that I was being watched. As I approached the edge of the woods I saw a darkened figure ahead of me. It turned around and looked at me. It was wearing a crown with 2 jewels in it, one blue as the sea, and one red as fire, but I could see one empty place. The dark figure turned into a ship, still with the 2 jewels on it, however now there were three: a white one had joined them, shining with a pure white light. The ship faded into the night, but I heard someone whisper, "Follow the straight road, for there you will find answers."
A/N- Hope you liked, I know the last sentence is corny
