Nienna P.O.V.
I was looking over a battlefield; there were men, orcs, Benedixit and something bigger than orcs. I did not see the details; all I saw was light in different color and strength. But what coat my attention were two figures in the middle of a swordfight. I could not see who they were; just saw that one of them had an aura of darkness and the other an aura of white light and that nobody else had that strong.
After I had observed the fighters of what could had been eternity, the figure of dark trusted his sword thru white's body, and at the same time white threw something light at dark's body. Dark took a several steps back and a fight broke out between that light and the dark. I turned my attention back over to the white figure and saw that there was another one. This one had a soft golden light, and it bent down over the light figure; the golden figure's stretched its hand towards the white's head. When he did that the light from the wihte figure started the dim as did the other light. And the light forms turns it of faces; faces familiar and unfamiliar, but the golden and light figures stayed too light for me to see who they were, so I looked at the dark figure and say that the darkness was replaced by a light in a honey color. The honey figure looked at the two others and so did I. I saw Legolas blue eyes and his face as if I laid below him.
"Legolas." I mumbled and saw the side of Legolas face. I was lying in his arms.
"She is awake." I heard Pippin said in a happy voice but with a tone of sadness.
"Finally, never thought that she would wake up anytime soon." Gimli said.
"Can you put me down, Legolas?" I said. He did as I said and putted me down on my feet. I looked around and saw that we were at the edge of a wood.
"We are at the edge of Lothlórien." Aragon said and took a several stapes onward and disappeared into the wood, the others followed him. I pulled up mu hoodie over my head to hide my eras before entering the wood after the others. Once we were deeper in the wood we slowed down and I was on my guard. We walked around listen and looked.
"Stay close, young hobbits." Gimli said. "They say there's a great sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf-witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell... and are never seen again."
"Mr. Frodo?" Sam asked I looked at Frodo and he looked around a little confused.
'Nienna, welcome lost princess of the moon elves.' Said a voice in my head I looked around and up in the trees, But saw nothing.
'Who are you?' I thought till the unknown voice. When I looked down again I came face to face with an arrow. I bowled my hands into fists and felt the wind play with my hair. I was about fell the elf in front of me and knock them all out.
"Don't." Aragon said in a low voice.
"The dwarf breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark." An elf said and stepped forward. "Come with us we can bring you safety thru the night." He said and walked away. I looked at the elves and they pulled down the arrows I walked after the elf that had spoken.
We were up on a platform and got and the elf greeted us properly.
"Mae govannen, Legolas Thranduilion." (Welcome Legolas, son of Thranduil.) The elf said.
"Govannas vîn gwennen le, Haldir o Lórien." (Our Fellowship stands in your debt, Haldir of Lórien.)
"Aragorn in Dúnedain istannen le amen." (Oh, Aragorn of the Dúnedain, you are known to us.) Haldir said and looked over at me. I meet his eyes and his got bigger when he saw the color in mine.
"And who could this be?" He asked and I took off my hood.
"Amin Naa Nienna Súrion inIthil'quessir." (I am Nienna Súrion of the moon elves.) Every elf started at me in chock. Gimli clear his throat.
"So much for the legendary courtesy of the Elves! Speak words we can also understand!"
"We have not had dealings with the dwarves, since the dark days."
"And do you know what this Dwarf says to that? Ishkhaqwi ai durugnul!" (I spit upon your grave!) He said. I slapped my hand on his shoulder.
"Do you want a tip from me? Be quite." I said in a fearsome voice. He looked really scarred and took a step back. I looked up as I saw Haldir walk over to Frodo.
"You bring great evil with you. You can go no further!" He said. Aragon took Haldir at the side and talked to him. I shout out the sounds and sat down and leaned against the tree trunk. I would try to some sleep. I yawned, made it conferrable and closed my eyes. I heard someone sit down beside me.
"How can you be tired already?" Legolas asked.
"My body is recovering from the journey in Moria." I said with my eyes still closed.
"Come here." Legolas said and gently grabbed my shoulder opposite to him and leaned my heard on his shoulder. "Sleep well and dream sweet dreams." The sound of his voice was the last thing I heard before I feel asleep.
We had been walking all day and were now walking up a hill. When we got up to the top we looked at the top I looked out and saw the elf city. The city was made of big trees, bigger than I ever seen.
"Caras Galadhon...The heart of Elvendom on earth. Realm of the Lord Celeborn and of Galadriel, Lady of Light." Haldir said and continued to walk.
A couple of hours later we walked up a staircase in an enormous Mallon tree. I looked around and saw this wonderful light that reminded so much of my own realm that I almost got sad look at it. I looked ahead and saw that we were walking towards a flat.
We walked in to this big room, and over to a small staircase and placed ourselves in front of it. There was a soft light as the lady and the lord walked out to meet us. They walked down the staircase hand in hand.
"The enemy knows that you've entered here. What hope you had in secrecy is now gone. Nine there are here, yet ten there were set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him. I can no longer see him from afar." Lord Celebron said.
"Gandalf the Grey did not pass the borders of this land. He has fallen into shadow." Lady of the light said in a low voice filed with sorrow.
"He was taken by both Shadow and Flame: a Balrog of Morgoth. For we went needlessly into the net of Moria." Legolas said and he too in a sorrowful voice: I took his hand in comfort and grabbed Gimli's shoulder.
"Needless were none of the deeds of Gandalf in life. We do not yet know his whole purpose. Do not let the great emptiness of Khazad-dûm fill your heart, Gimli, son of Glóin. For the world has grown full of peril. And in all lands, love is now mingled with grief." The lady said. She looked over to Boromir and starred in to his eyes, when Boromir looked away I saw the tears streaming down his face.
"What now becomes of this Fellowship? Without Gandalf, hope is lost." Celebron said. I looked at the lady and she looked at me.
"You are not so alone as you think you are." Said the voice in my head and realized that that was the voice of the lady.
"What do you mean?" I asked mentally but did not get an answer. She said more, but I did not listen to what they said until I felt Legolas tug on my hand. I shook my head and looked at the lady of light.
"Yes, mylady?" I asked and looked at her.
"Before you can join the rest of the fellowship I would like to talk to you in private." She said and took a step towards me.
"Yes, mylady." I said and watched the others walked away, led by Haldir. I looked back at the lady as she walked towards me.
"What did you mean that I am not so alone as I think?" I asked as we walked back down from the flat and in to the city of light and magic. We walked in silence I looked in wonder on the city that looked so much like mine, but at the same time so different from mine. We walked thru the center of the city and out till a lake. There was a little group of low trees and it was different from the rest of the city.
"Here was the place where your father stayed when he was visiting here, and the last place he were at before he rode to Rivendell." The lady said and walked to a staircase that led up to the tree. I walked after her and looked at the place in surprise. Surprise that it looked so much as my home. We walked into the house in the middle and over to a smaller flat at the right. She opened the door and walked in. The flat had a normal design; a bed in the middle of the room, a dresser in a corner with a mirror on top of it, a wardrobe and a big open window with view to the lake. The lady walked over to the dresser and opened on of the boxes in the bottom and took out a small wooden box and placed it on top of the dresser. She opened it and the box was full of jewelry in golden material; some were with gem and some without. I lifted one of them out and saw the amazing details on it.
"What is this?" I asked and looked at the lady. She looked at me in surprise.
"I can see this is jewelry, but what is the point with the empty holes in this one?" I held up the pendant I held in.
"Take out your necklace, princess." The lady took the pendant with the fake Globe of moonlight and the empty one and held them close to each other. There was a bright light and when the light had dimmed I saw that the fake Globe of moonlight had moved itself from the wooden pendant till the golden one.
"Do you know why it moved?" The lady asked and looked at me with a strange look.
"Not why it moved, just that the Globe of moonlight need a place in a material made in a special to keep it's from so that it not disappear too thin air and the owner's light disappears and he is doomed to die."
"You are almost right, the pendant made of wood is almost impossible to destroy while the golden one are 'easier' to break." The lady said and gave me the golden pendant. I took of the silver chain and slip of the wooden pedant and slid the golden one there and took and took the chain back on.
"What do I do with this one?" I asked and held up the wooden pedant. The lady bent down again and took out three boxes; one small and two bigger ones. She opened the smaller one and reviled wooden pedants placed in nice lines. There were a few open spaces, so I place mine in one of them. "Were dose all this come from?"
"Your father left it here before he left for Rivendell." The lady answered and closed the box, placed them on top of each other and gave them to me. "I do believe that you should get back to the rest of the fellowship. But before that there is a bath and new cloths waiting for you in the baht area, a handmaiden will show you the way there." The lady said and started to walk out from the flat.
"Wait mylady. What is it in the other boxes?" I asked and walked after her.
"Have patience and open the boxes after your bath." The lady said and left the tree house. I stood there for a few minutes and looked around in the tree house before I walked out and saw an elleth wait for me.
"Well meet, mylady. My mane is Arya and I will be your handmaiden under your stay in Caras Galadhon. Here let me take dose." Arya took the boxes before I had the time to open my mouth to protest. She turned and walked back to the city. I walked after her.
We got to a tree, Arya explained that was where all the gussets stayed when they here. We walked up till the top over to an area that was laid aside. That I guessed was the bathing area. When the pool got in view Arya putted down the boxes and walked out and left me alone. I sighed took up the boxes and walked over to the pool. I putted down the boxes and walked over to a bench. I took off my cloths and laid them on the bench and let my hair down. I saw that it was a white gown on the bench. I slipped into the water and walked till I had water up till my chest before I got down under the surface and back up again. I swam over to the edge and took a bar of soap and started to wash my hair and body. I could see gray and brown streaks of dirt flow down and into the water and dipped under the surface get the soap away. I got back up and got up from the pool, took a towel and wrapped it around my body. I walked over to the boxes and moved the small ones and opened the one on the top.
"Oh." I gasped and picked up a tiara that looked so familiar but unknown at the same time. It had a golden color and had heart shapes and a few gems. I lifted the tiara up and saw a latter under it. It was my name on it so I picked it up.
Nienna, my moon and stars
When you read this I will most likely be dead and that The One Ring has awakened.
You will take the hardest decisions in your life. Some of them will lead to your death, some till love and some will make life better for others but harder for you. Don't try to chance the faith by saving dose whose time has come to an end.
Enough of the father advises, you haven't needed them before, and you don't need them now.
What I am trying to tell you is that this things is the last things that ever will be blessed by the moon elves, so be careful with the pedants. In the boxes you will find tiaras and crowns that belongs the family and is your right to wear it as the princess of the moon elves and if you ever will get married and have elflings; it is going to be there turn to wear them.
I have to go soon just one thing left to say:
In the name of Glandur Súrion, king of the moon elves now pronounce my daughter Nienna Súrion, princess of the moon elves till the rightful heir of the throne.
I have to go now. I love you my moon and stars.
Your farter.
Glandur Súrion, king of the moon elves.
I read the letter again and again still could not really get what it stood on the letter.
'But, what of mu bother?'
'He is dead, you hear me?DEAD! Give it time, and talk to the lay the first thing in the morning tomorrow.' I took a deep breath
"I never thought that I would be the queen, I have always thought it would be my brother." I took one more breath and took of the towel and took up the gown and took it on. It looked like that one I had when Old Man told me about the ring; sleeveless, white and ended by my ankles. The only different on this one was that is one had a sweetheart shape and was tight on the top, before it flowed down my body. I putted on my tiara, I was about to pick up the boxes when Arya walked in. If she was surprised to see the tiara she did not show it.
"Leave your belongings here; I will take them back to the tree house. I am just going to show you the way to the fellowship." She said and turned and walked away, I shook my head and walked after her.
We down till ground level and till another tree and walked up a few levels when the fellowship came in sight Arya stopped, bowed and walked the opposite direction. I took deep breath held my chin high and walk in to the camp. Everyone stopped what there were doing to look at me.
"Nienna! Now you look like a lady." Merry and Pippin said and looked amazed at me. Aragon bowed his head while everyone just stared at me. I walked over to the tents and sat down.
"Miss Nienna, why do you have a tiara on your head?" Sam asked.
"Because, I am the princess of the moon elves and the heir and the throne." I said and everyone except Legolas and Aragon looked surprised.
After a few moments of silence Legolas walked away to get some water and I could hear a female elf sing. I closed my eyes to listen.
"A Olórin i yaresse… (Olórin who once was…)
Mentaner i Numeherui (Sent by the Lords of the West)
Tírien i Rómenóri… (To guard the Lands of the East…)
And then other elves with her.
Melme nóren sina (Our love for this land)
núra ala (Is deeper than the deeps)
Eäro… (Of the sea…)"
"A lament for Gandalf." Legolas said. I opened one eye and saw him stand there and look around.
"What do they say about him?" Merry said and sat up in his bed.
"I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near." He said Merry looked at me. I didn't say anything; just listen to the lament.
"…Maiaron i Oiosaila, (Wisest of all Maiar,)
Manan elye etevanne (What drove you to leave)
Nórie i malanelye? (That which you loved?)
…Ilfirin nairelma (Yet we will cast all away)
ullume nucuvalme. (Rather that submit.)
Nauva i nauva... (What should be shall be...)
"I bet they don't mention his fireworks. There should be a verse about them." Sam said to Merry." The finest rockets ever seen, they burst in stars of blue and green…" he said and stood up. "Or after thunder...silver showers… Came falling like a...rain of flowers…" He sat down again, and I could hear him mutter. "Oh, that doesn't do they justice by a long road." I closed my eye and I heard someone walk towards me and stop in front of me.
"What is it, Legolas?" I asked.
"Have you ever been in Lothlórien before?"
"No, this is the first time." I said and opened my eyes. "Have you?"
"Yes, and I want to show you around."
"Sure, I do want to see more of this beautiful city." I said. Legolas gave me a big smile and help me up. He took my hand and led the way from the camp and into the city of Lothlórien.
