Galadriel sat with her son-in-law, Elrond, in his council room in Rivendell as he paced. Arwen sat at he other end of the table and Elladan and Elrohir were seated on the side together. Arwen was in tears over her dear younger sister for the whole time she found out Saerwen had been kidnapped by Mirkwood Elves. Elladan and Elrohir weren't any better, they shed tears, but stopped about an hour after discussing Saerwen's recuse plan.
"It was all my fault," Lady Galadriel spoke as she looked to Elrond.
"I told her to go to Celeborn for safety, but I sent her right into the clutches of Mirkwood. She showed a sign of having my foresight when she told my she felt uneasy right before I felt it as well." Elrond put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head.
"No, it was my fault. I sent her to Lórien to be safe and to try to stop her from fading, but I put her directly where Thranduil wanted her. They are going to try to prove something with her, yet I can't see what. Why would they take Saerwen and not someone more known?" Elrond paced again and froze as his mother-in-law gasped.
"They weren't truly after Saerwen, they wanted Arwen at first. They didn't find her in Lothlórien so they took Saerwen instead. They don't plan on hurting her or humiliating her. They are using her as a prize. Like a living trophy." Arwen started to cry even more and Elladan and Elrohir cried as well. The thoughts of how they could have prevented the awful event ran through their minds and crushed their happiness.
"Are you saying that my little sister is being held in Mirkwood cause they couldn't find me?" Arwen muttered as her grandmother nodded.
"They wanted someone with a title and they got one. Many of the Elves in Lothlórien were calling her the Amber light because of her necklace you gave her, Elrond." Elrond remembered the necklace he had made for Saerwen but something went wrong and the forger made it out of amber instead of crystal. When he took it home Saerwen was more than happy to accept such a wonderful gift. He could still see her sweet smile as if it was yesterday.
"I want all the armies of Rivendell and Lothlórien to attack Mirkwood head on and to raid the palace and find my daughter as soon as possible." Elrond fumed, but the Lady of light shook her head.
"They will expect an attack, I will go to Mirkwood myself to have an audience with Thranduil. I will try to discuss what it will take for him to let her go." Galadriel spoke, but Elladan and Elrohir interrupted.
"We will go as well!" The two boys shouted as Galadriel smiled to herself.
"No!" Elrond shouted which made the room go quiet.
"I will go. Alone." Before anyone could object Elrond stormed out of the room.
