5 years ago
"Arya?"
I jumped at the voice. "Geezzzz... Arwen you want to give me a heart attack or something?" I asked glancing up at the door of the balcony to see my older sister giggling away at me.
"Don't do that!" I exclaimed gasping. And she just kept on giggling.
"You wanted something?" I asked in annoyance, once she got her breathing under control.
"OH. Right, Ada wants to see us, says it's important." She said frowning.
Weird Ada never asks to see us "both", unless it's something major.
"Okay... let's go then!" I grabbed her hand and we made our way towards Ada's study.
Knocking on Ada's door I poked my head in, "You wanted to see us Ada?" I asked glancing inside I found Gandalf smoking his pipe out the window. Weird why is Gandalf here? I thought he left 2 weeks ago. Before I could inspect any further, I was grabbed around the waist and pulled into a warm embrace. Hearing almost the same thing happen to Arwen I glanced up only to come face to face with a face full of Elrohir's hair.
I hugged him back with just as much enthusiasm. "When did you boys get back?" I gasp/ whispered.
"About ten minutes ago" he replied before pulling out of the embrace.
Turning around I walk up to Ellandan who had also let Arwen go and threw my arms around him.
"Great so now that that's that," Ada gestured with his hands towards us four siblings
He was sitting at his desk looking concerned.
Catching Gandalf's attention and the wizard pushed his own chair back and stood up.
'Good your here' Gandalf said,'We have an issue to discuss with the four of you.'
'You're probably wondering why you've been summoned here,' Gandalf states. We nod, all of us wondering the same thing.
'Well I assume that you have felt the brewing darkness in this world?' Ada asks. Again we nod. 'Well,' Ada continues whiles giving us a heartfelt look.
'Gandalf has made it clear to me that one of you both cannot stay in this world for much longer,' Ada explains looking between Arwen and I but his gaze lingers on me.
At that moment I knew it was me. Ada could never keep secrets from me since I was an elfling I always knew when Ada was lying to me or when he spoke I could somehow always sense the truth.
I took a deep breath closed my eyes and made my way to the closest chair to me and sat down.
'I'm sorry Arya I did not mean for this to happen,' I here Ada say to me telepathically. 'I know I understand,' I reply looking up at him with sad eyes. I can feel his remorse like a wave sweeping over rocks through our connection.
We both look up when Gandalf clears his throat flipping us back into the present. I look up at Arwen and she looks upon at me with sad eyes. She can see I know the truth and so does she. She walks over to me and pulls me into a bone crushing hug.
' Le melin Arya,' she whispers in my mind, letting go a few moments later with tears running down her cheeks.The twins pull me into a three way hug. Both kissing either side of my head.
I wipe my tears away only now realising I had been crying. I grab onto Ro. When i see Arwen and Dan depart from the room soon after leaving me with Ro to speak with Gandalf and Ada.
'So what does this mean for me? Where will I go?' I ask all in one breathe.
'Arya relax.' Ada chuckles 'we have sorted everything out already.' Ada states. I just stare at him like he was speaking another language.
'To answer your questions it means you will be away from home for a while. You will be sent to earth Gandalf has been there himself and found you a family to take you in for a short while. We just have to get you prepared and don't worry you have a full moon cycle to say your goodbyes and the night you leave we will inform you on everything that you need to know. Now hurry along and do not speak of this to anyone please Arya.' Ada says giving me a small smile though he knows I can see the grief in his eyes.Turning he gives Ro a knowing look. I make my way to the door with Ro in tow.
' Le melin Arya, 'I hear Ada say as I close the door.
This last month in Rivendell or as my people like to call it Imladris was incredibly unbearable for me I usual spent my time in either my room reading or in the archery field practicing.I was grateful when row took me out riding and we just messed around like old times. Though there were the few occasions where I would run into Estel in the way to dinner. Which I would then end up speaking to him, and having dinner with him. Estel was one of the few people who Ada aloud to know about my departing. His very young only 16 years old but he was also one of the Dúnedain.
My final day in Imladris I stayed in bed half the day just crying myself to sleep. Though when Estel and Ro finally came to knock some sense into me I decided to get up and make my last day at home the best.
Once nightfall came I started to pack up all my things I wanted to take with me I went down to the gardens in which Gandalf recommended us to meet.Figwit stood at the garden entrance and I could see my sister, Estel, Gandalf and Ada with the twins already waiting. I picked up my pace and greeted them with a smilethat did not reach my eyes. That afternoon Gandalf had already explained what would be happening. I would be sent to earth looking like a six year old girl in appearance and join a small family of the name Kendrick. I wasn't keen on the idea but what could I exactly do about it. As I said my last goodbye's to my sister and Estel before hugging the twins. I looked at my Ada tears streaming down my cheeks.
'I'll be fine Ada I love you and will miss youGalu Savo 'lass a lalaith'I told Ada telepathically not trusting myself to speak.
'And you my daughter Guren *níniatha n'i lû n'i a-govenitham' Ada replied as tears threatened to fall from his eyes.
I hugged Ada then turned to Gandalf
'Shall we go then?' Gandalf asked. I nodded gave Ada, Estel and Arwen and the twins one last hug then went over to Gandalf. I turned back to my family gave them one courageous smile and blew them a kiss as the tears continued to fall.
Then in a flash we were not in Imladris anymore we were in front of a house on earth I guessed.
I looked at Gandalf and nodded when he gestured to his staff and after being blinded by yet another flash of blue light this time for about 5 seconds I was at least 4 feet shorter with my backpack and clothes shrunk as well.
Gandalf had described to me how these humans lived and how they spoke during my last month in Imladris so I was well prepared. Gandalf also said that during my time in human company I would have to block out my elfish senses and reflexes.
He also said that when I wanted to go practice my archery and fighting my guardians said it was ok as long as I didn't practice in public. That was the beauty of having a forest behind their house. The sound of the door opening snapped me out of my little trance. In front of me stood a tall woman, with dark brown almost black curly hair.
'Gandalf!' the women exclaimed, 'so good to see you and you must be Arya, I'm Ann your new guardian, my husband Jonas and my son Simone.' She said happily. I saw a dark head peep around Ann's legs and I waved shyly.
Ann let us in and showed me to my room while she led Gandalf to the kitchen to chat. My room was really plain it was beige and had a brown bed in the middle with a brown wardrobe on the side. I dumped my backpack on my bed and went in search for the kitchen to find Gandalf. It only took me a minute to find my way to the kitchen using my natural senses. I found Gandalf in the kitchen eating what I guessed to be cake. When he saw me he gestured to me to come and sit on his lap and I slowly obeyed. He continued to talk to Ann and after about an hour he had to go.
That's when the tears started. I didn't want to lose him and I didn't want him to go since I hadn't said anything since we got here. Gandalf looked at me and said in elfish to me in front of Ann and Jonas.
' I know you don't want me to go Arya but I have to. What would your Ada think and, think about your sister and Estel you will be fine. When it is time again I will send someone you know back to find you. I wish you the best of luck Arya be good and be safe my dear. I will see you soon ok. Be strong and brave and I wish you the best of luck.Galu.'
Gandalf said and I nodded to him and replied in elfish 'I will try for Ada and Arwen and Estel. See you soon Gandalf farewell.' I kissed him on the cheek and went to stand nextto Ann who had a surprised look on her face to have seen what she had just witnessed but looked down at me and smiled and hugged me.
'We'll take care of her we promise from all you have told us we will make sure no harm will come to her. Farewell Gandalf' Ann said as she picked me up and kissed Gandalf on the cheek. We turned around and headed back into the house.
