Rivendell:
"Legolas, find Lothlórien for me on the map," said Gellyth, wincing when Aethelred hit the wrong note for what felt like the hundredth time.
Legolas frowned, looking for the place. Meanwhile, Gellyth went to correct Aethelred"s fingering and posture.
"Found it," called Legolas, softly. When Gellyth came over, he pointed to it.
"Well, done, Legolas. Now tell me, what people live there and who leads them?"
"Elves live there, governed by Lord Celeborn and his wife, Lady Galadriel," said Legolas. "The Golden Woods… Lothlórien… Dream-flower... Is it truly as beautiful as it sounds?" asked Legolas, quietly.
"Yes, it is beautiful beyond what you can imagine. We could go there, you know. I've talked to Elrond about it. He is amenable to the idea," offered Gellyth, cautiously
"What do you think, Aethelred?" asked Legolas.
"If you decide to go, the Lady Galadriel wishes to speak with the both of you," Gellyth warned them.
"I must think about it. Give me until tomorrow, please, Gellyth," he replied.
Once Gellyth had left, Legolas turned to Aethelred, "You do not wish to go?"
Aethelred sighed, "No, I do want to go, but Legolas, why are they offering this to us? Why should they treat us so well? This Galadriel, I've heard of her from travellers and books. The books say she is one of the oldest elf in Middle Earth and carries Nenya, one of the Three Rings of Power. The travellers say she is a witch who can read your mind, make you do things against your will. Not to mention she rules one of the three elven lands. If these things are all true, she is probably one of the strongest, wisest, most powerful, and most dangerous person we will ever meet. Is it wise for us to go near her?" Aethelred asked.
It was Legolas' turn to sigh, "No, it isn't, but I want to see Middle Earth, not just hear about it. Besides, if we were to go, maybe we could find out more about what happened to my father. I want to meet him, Aethelred, or at least see his face, just once."
"I know, but wouldn't it be easier for someone to hurt us in the wild as opposed to here? We are asking for pain if we do this. For what? A trail that might just be a wild goose chase!" argued Aethelred.
"Aethelred, I know there are risks, but you said we are immortal, shall we sit here for all eternity, never taking risks and living our lives as slaves, or should we take what opportunities we get to see places neither of us dreamed of existing?" asked Legolas.
"Fine, I'll go, if only to make you happy. It's not as if I'm uninterested myself," sighed Aethelred.
