The doors slowly opened. They all blinked, mainly because of the good deal of light that was shining out. They all stepped into the room slowly, still blinking.

It was a perfectly circular room, all walls slick, and grey, as if water was rushing down them. In the front of the room was a large window, it went from the ceiling all the way down to the floor and was quite wide. And it was hard to contemplate if whether it was a normal window, or blue stained glass window.

The floor was deep white marble, and if you looked at it to long, it would seem as if the floor was moving like many clouds rolling around. Many magnificent objects lay around the room, though, it was anything but cluttered, it happened to be actually quite neat.

But, even with all these amazing features, one thing in the room was most noticeable. A silver throne, sat before the window on a few low steps, and in front of this throne, a pentagonal shaped pool of water sat. The water glowed lightly in the sunlight that drifted through the window, many colors flashed, mainly in shades of blue. They all took a few steps to the edge of the small pool, and gazed in.

The pool was very clear, and a very light blue, but, no matter how hard they looked, the bottom was not at all visible. Pippin knelt down, and slowly reached his hand out to the water. Right before his finger touched the surface, a lovely sound entered the room. The sound was un-human it seemed, though, so beautiful none the less. It sounded like the light jingling of bells, and a smooth stream trickling down smooth rocks. The sound echoed a bit, making it seem grand, and yet peaceful. It was a woman's voice.

"I wouldn't touch the cleansing pool, small friend…" the woman's voice seemed to laugh a bit. The four friends looked up slowly, and then gazed around. No one was in the room with them, it was quite clear. But, after the looked from side to side, they looked back to the throne, and a young, beautiful woman sat there, one leg over the other, and leaning a little to one side. It was Silver Water.

Pippin opened his mouth a few times, as he stood up straight next to his also speechless friends. He swallowed and finally spoke, "W-why not?" he looked down at the pool, as his three friends stood there, all eyes locked on Silver.

Silver smiled lightly, and stood, causing them all to step back a little. She came to the edge of the water and looked in. She then looked up, across to them, smiling, "Master Elf, may I borrow your bow for a second?" she reached out gently, her long blue sleeve hanging, and blowing gently like a silky flag.

Legolas immediately reached back and gripped his bow, protectively, "Why?" he asked slowly, narrowing his eyes a bit. He found her very lovely, yes, but wasn't about to hand his bow over to a random lady he just met.

Silver smiled, "I am just showing you four what the pool does, and don't worry, I'll give you your bow back." Her hand was still out straight in front of her.

Legolas blinked, and took off his bow, fingering the wood a bit, "Alright…" he passed it over the pool, giving it to her gently.

Once Silver took the bow, she paused a moment staring at Legolas, she hadn't exactly looked at him yet. So when she met his eyes, something just happened which caused them both to blush at the same time. She quickly looked down and knelt next to the pool quickly, she didn't want anyone to see her face go red.

She took a deep breath, as did Legolas, who was looking off to the side. Silver slowly put the bow over the water, with both hands, and dipped it in. When she pulled it back out, it seemed to shine more. The water soon stopped dripping from the wood, and quickly hardened, into a silver coating. She stood and held it back out for Legolas, making sure not to make eye contact again. "It is now harder then mithril, and as light a feather, and easier to maneuver."

Legolas blinked, and took his bow back, fingering the silver wood now, looking it over. He pulled the string back, as if an imaginary arrow was there. After a moment of silence, Legolas nodded slowly, "It's nice…" a faint smile crossing his face. Gimli smiled a bit, knowing that would be the only compliment Silver would get.

Silver nodded and looked at Pippin and she turned back to the throne, "See, master hobbit, you would've been a statue the moment you touched it…" Pippin's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, jumping back away from the water.

Silver laughed lightly as she sat back down on the throne, "Now... why have you four come?"

Gimli started, "We need a bit of help…"

Silver raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Legolas nodded, putting his bow back on his back, "Let me help explain a little… it's a war problem…"

Silver nodded slowly, "Alright… and how is the Tower involved with this?"

"We need assistance… King Ellessar's army is out numbered highly, even with all the forces in middle-earth, we couldn't go against this enemy." Legolas said looking down, "We have heard the Tower has a vast army that could assist."

Silver thought this over, and she knew it wasn't wise for her to deal with war problems, which was her grandfather's duty. But, she wanted to help. So, she nodded slowly, but knew something else had to be done for the armies of the King to be helped.

"I shall help…" she said finally standing, the four friends turned and looked at each other happily, "But… I, will have to come."

Legolas, Gimli, Merry and Pippin all froze, and exchanged glances. Gimli started to speak, "Miss, there is really, no reason to come with us…"

Silver stared, "Master Dwarf, without me, the army can not assist you."

Merry took it the wrong way, "What?"

Silver saw his confusion and quickly spoke, "I mean, you can't have the army without me," she quickly took off her silver locket, and held it out, "It's a bit hard to explain, but, here's your army…"

They all stared at the locket, mouths opened. Pippin blinked, "That? That's the army?"

Silver nodded, "Well, yes… you see if I should ever open the locket, the army will be released. It's a magic thing…" She tried her hardest to explain, but, it sounded weird, and she knew this.

"Hmph…" muffled Gimli, "Nonsense, there is no way that would ever be possible, an army of millions, all in a locket? Yeah right…" he started towards the door. The other's followed. Silver groaned a bit, wishing she was better with words like her granddad.

The all got to the door, but when they opened it, Silver stood right there in front of them, arms crossed, locket still in hand, "I will prove my point if I have to. I am just saying I am the only one who can open the locket, and the only one who can control the army."

Gimli crossed his arms and glared, "Alright then, prove it. This I would like to see."

Silver nodded and motioned for them to follow her down the stairs. They all followed closely, realizing it was much scarier going down.

Once all the way down, they went back outside. Silver took a deep breath and stood before them, "Now, I shall NOT release the whole army, otherwise I swear we all shall be crushed…" she opened the locket, and sparks flew out. The next moment, many silver knights stood around all of them, at least 56 or so.

Gimli blinked, "Er…wow…" he felt dumb at the moment, and looked down, pulling his helmet closer over his head.

In another moment, all the knights where gone. Silver Water closed her locket, "I hope I have proven my point…"

Legolas nodded and smiled faintly, "I guess you'll be coming with us, m'lady..."
