We gathered at the river and said good-bye to Lothlorien. We were all sad to leave but Galadriel stopped us before we left. She said that she had gifts for us. I was happy about that. Maybe she would give me some more weapons. She finally came over to us and gave us our gifts. I had renewed my amount of arrows and so I didn't need those anymore.

"Laura, to you I give these. Knives made of the strongest, yet the lightest steel," she said. I took them with wide eyes. They were engraved with elvish letters. "Thank you. What does this say?" I asked. She smiled. "Child of Light," she answered. I turned them over and over, getting the feel of them.

Angie got two knives as well. She asked what the writing on them said, and Galadriel answered, "Guardian." I saw Angie smile. She looked slightly confused as to what 'Guardian' meant. I'll have to say that I was to, since of course she had called me child of light. No idea what that meant... She gave Eowyn a completely new sword! It was very beautiful, and it looked light. Hers had writing on it too.

"Um, excuse me, but what does this say?" Eowyn asked shyly. She wasn't one to be shy but I think just the presence of the Lady made her shy. Galadriel smiled. "It says One of Many Colors." Eowyn put her hand up and down the sword. I'll have to say that none of us knew what those things meant, but that was for another adventure to decide. Again Galadriel came to me and said, "You Laura have more in your family than just you. I summoned your brother, yet he is not here."

"Which one of my brothers? I have three," I said.

"The oldest one. He was to be Elwë Táralóm. Yet he is not, here and he will not come," Galadriel said. I pondered her words, and even though I tried to figure out what those words meant exactly, I think I came pretty close. We got into the boats and waved good-bye to the Elves at Lorien and headed on our way. Me, Eowyn, and Angie were all in one boat and we all had to row since we didn't have one guy in our boat and we weren't exactly that strong.

"This pant is very pant hard!" I said in between breaths. Angie and Eowyn nodded.

"Yeah. pant Why pant couldn't pant one of the pant guys be with us?" Eowyn asked. I nodded. "This is way too hard! I've liked the rest of the journey so far, but rowing is so hard! We just have to pant keep going," I said panting and rowing as best as I could.

A few hours later we rowed up on the shore and pulled our boats up. My arms were extremely sore from all the rowing I had done. I'll most likely be sore for the rest of the week...

"Oh my goodness! My arms and my back are so extremely sore! I'm not going to be doing that ever again!" Eowyn said bending her back so that it made a loud pop. Just then my stomach growled so loud that probably all the orcs in Mordor heard it. Angie and Eowyn laughed.

"Was that your stomach growl? Or was that an orc growling?" Eowyn asked laughing. I laughed too. "It was my stomach. I'm starving! I think I could eat an oliphant!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah me too," Angie put in. "I don't usually get this hungry but all that rowing must've boosted my appetite." I laughed."Stop making up words Angie and tell us what you were going to say," I said mimicking the voice of Adam Davenport from Lab Rats. That was probably one of my favorite things to say. Angie laughed.

"Ok Laura stop quoting Lab Rats and tell us what you were going to say!" We all started laughing.

After we had eaten a little we laid down to get some sleep. It was going to be a long night because the ground was so hard and rocky it felt like you had a thousand knives stabbed into your back. But finally we managed to go to sleep.

The next day we had to go on the boats again." My back was so stiff from sleeping on rocks all night, and my arms were also stiff and I could barely row. Maybe I shouldn't have come. I think I'd actually rather fight orcs right now than be doing this. But soon we came upon a sight that I had always wanted to see. The statues of Isildur and Anárion. I looked up at them. They were just, just amazing! I had never seen something this awesome! Eowyn almost made the boat tip over because she tried to stand up. I guess she was trying to see them better.

"Eowyn Rayna Larkin! I thought you knew better than to stand up in a boat!" I said regaining balance. Eowyn fell down into the boat which made it move even more and this time we got splashed with water. I put my hand in front of my face to block it. "Eowyn!" I said this time my voice sounded really annoyed.

"Sorry! Those statues are just so cool!" she said. "We know that!" Angie and I said. We laughed. "Those are the statues of Isildur and Anárion. Aren't they amazing?" I asked. They both nodded.

"Mmhmm. They sure are. They look pretty cool in the movies but these don't even look the same. Maybe this is how Tolkien pictured them," Angie said. I nodded. "Yeah, probably. At least that's what I'm thinking. Maybe it's a mixture of both,"I answered. We rowed in between them and continued on our journey. It a little bit foggy on the river and it was slightly hard to navigate. But soon the fog cleared away and we could see everything once again.

After an even longer while of rowing we stopped in the shore for the night. Frodo said that he needed some time to himself. "Oh no," I said to myself. Soon after he left Boromir secretly followed him. I was starting to get afraid. We were about to be attacked by Uruk-hai and we wouldn't be prepared. So I made up a plan in my mind. I pulled an arrow out of my quiver and put it on my bow. I made sure to have a look of fear in my eyes, which wasn't really fake. Legolas stood up.

"What is it Laura? he asked.

"We have to go find them! I'm sensing that something bad is going to happen. Something really bad," I said. He nodded. Aragorn stood up.

"Get ready to head out!" he said. Everyone stood up and drew their weapons. Angie took out her bow and Eowyn her sword. We ran into the woods to find the others. We (that is Angie, Eowyn ad I) were going all through the forest and searching every nuke and cranny. Suddenly we saw what we had hoped not too. An Uruk-hai was standing a few yards away from us. Then two more appeared next to it. We pointed our bows at them and Eowyn grasped her sword tightly. I let go of the arrow and it whizzed through the air and hit on right in the middle of his chest! "Yes!" I exclaimed. Then another arrow whizzed through the air, but this time it was Angie's. It hit one right between the eyes.

"Great job Angie! Hit right between the eyes!" I said. Angie gasped. "I hit him, but what about him!? And him, and him and all those others?" We looked around. We were completely surrounded! I started feeling really scared.

"Um, mayday! Mayday, we need backup!" I said to no one in particular. One got really close and Eowyn swung around and sliced it's head off. Oh ew, just ew... I pulled out another arrow and shot another one. We continued to fight them but there were just to many! We were trapped!
