Chapter 2:
Boromir was cold very cold, surrounded by darkness. Was this what death felt like? Undergoing endlessness of darkness. The funny thing was that he could feel two presents near him and somehow he knew they were both women.
"Boromir…." One of them called out. It sounded familiar, but he couldn't place it.
"Boromir…" there it was again. It sounded so close.
"Boromir open your eyes. Its ok, just open your eyes." Thinking no harm could come from it. I mean he was supposed to be dead he opened his eyes and was greeted by the brightest of lights he had ever seen. As his eyes adjusted to the light he noticed he was lying in a bed with white linens.
Looking down at his chest he found his wounds healed completely without a scaring.
"You won't find anything there. The spring of life pretty much took care of that." A voice broke out on the far side of the room. Boromir looked up to find the lady of light standing on the far side of the room with a wolf sitting at her feet. His eyes widened in recognition.
"What? How? Whe-"he was cut off as the lady held up her hand and entered his mind. She showed him his last few moments before he died. How he was given life again and how he came to be back in Lorien again. As she withdrew she could see the understanding shock appear on his face.
Looking down at the wolf at Galadriel's heels he met sparkling blue eyes. Boromir say it sigh and watched in fascination as it transformed from a wolf to a beautiful elthen with golden brown hair that glittered in the morning sun. From his first glance he could tell she was heavily armed. Galadriel cleared her through and he brought his attention back to her.
"Now son of Gondor, this is Lerina and she will be your companion on your quest and the remainder of the fellowship. She is to guide you and I would like you to treat her as a sister. Though she does not need your protection, sometimes she may need your help. She's a changing an elthen shifter that can take the form a wolf that can increase and decrease in size. She can hide you if need be. Now I would like you to travel lightly and swiftly so I suggest her back. She has no problem with weight nor weather, so you should be fine." The lady turned towards Lerina.
"I'll leave the rest to you, do get acquainted quickly, you leave at sundown." And with that the lady swept out of the room leaving Boromir quite shocked and flabbergasted. Lerina chuckled at his facial expretion.
"Oh don't mid her she's a bit blunt at times," Lerina said taking a seat on the bed.
"She's not all bad. She's been like a mother to me since I was very young so I'm not fazed and neither should you be. Lerina stated smiling.
Boromir not being able to hold his curiosity asked, "How long I was, you know."
"Dead you mean?" he nodded
"About twelve hours I think but your fine. Come let's get you dressed and armoured up considering that all your belongings were washed down the river," Lerina said getting up and heading to the door.
"I'll just be outside the door, ok just call when you're done, "she said shifting back into her wolf self and trotted out the door with her tail held high swishing from side to side.
Boromir chuckled, got out of bed and made his way towards the pile of clothes on the table on the far side of the room and started to change.
