"She lied to me," Legolas said.
"She did it to protect you," Gandalf said. They were all in the Golden Hall, discussing two things that had happened. Aragorn, Eomer, Gimli, Legolas, Gandalf, King Théoden and the twins of Lord Elrond.
"She will do anything for you, Legolas," Elrohir said.
"But she lied!" Legolas looked at him. "I saw it on her."
"What did happen?" Eomer asked, not quite fully understand what happened. "What would she lie about?"
"She had a vision," Gandalf said. "She saw something about her future that she do not want to tell us."
"She can see the future?" King Théoden asked. "She is not an Elf."
"She have had one vision before, but that was over sixty years ago. When she saw her father, Thorin Oakenshield die. Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror, king under the mountain." Gandalf said the last part so they all will know whom. "She wanted to save him, but she could not because that future was already set. If she saw something, she knows it will happen, but she will still try change it, or maybe not change it at all."
"She mumbled she lost it," Elladan said. "I heard it, even across the Golden Hall when she fell and hit her head.
"You don´t think it is the child, do you?" Elrohir asked Gandalf. He did not answer, but only looked at Legolas who seemed he was in his own thoughts, but he listened to them.
"Saruman said it never will be born," Legolas said. "Now this has been said… I believe more on his words."
"I am not letting you believe on that wizard," Aragorn said. "Nothing will happen to your child."
"I have said it every day to Tiaashar, I am not even sure if she believes it anymore," Legolas said and looked at Aragorn.
"For Tiaashar to lose her child," Eomer began and got a deadly look from Legolas, he ignored it and looked at Gandalf. "She must be in a war, where she will die or get stabbed right?" He asked and Gandalf nodded, not understanding himself where this is going. "There is a war coming up, we cannot let her go there."
"You think I would let her go in a war, when she carry my child?" Legolas asked, he become threatening towards Eomer.
"Would you convince her?" Eomer asked. "You all have said it, she is stubborn and she do not want to miss out a war even she is with child, when you cannot even see she is."
"How are you planning on keeping her here?" Gimli asked. "Tie her up in the room?"
"What other suggestions do we have?" Eomer asked the Dwarf.
"Eomer has right," Elladan said. Elladan looked at Gandalf. "Something tells me it is something else we got summoned here, Gandalf." The white wizard nodded.
"Pippin was a fool and looked into the Palantir I brought with me from Isengard," Gandalf said. "An honest fool he is. A war is coming to Minas Tirith, for he saw a glimpse of the enemy´s plan. Sauron moves to strike the city. His defeat at Helm´s Deep showed our enemy one thing. He knows the her of Elendil has come forth." Gandalf looked at Aragorn when he said it. "Men are not as weak as he supposed."
"There is courage still, strength enough perhaps to challenge him. Sauron fears this," Gandalf said and looked at them all. "He will not risk the peoples of Middle-earth uniting under one banner. He will raze Minas Tirith to the ground before he sees a king return to the throne of Men."
"That would be where Tiaashar gets either captured, killed or stabbed," Elrohir said, not liking the idea.
"That still depends," Gandalf said and brought everyone attention on him. "This you may not know much of, Théoden King. Saruman mentioned it, the Silmaril. Tiaashar have it, it came to her by Dain, King Under the mountain, it have been in Durin´s line ever since. Sauron seeks it, for what I believe, is if he has it, he can find the Ring much easier." Gandalf looked at Legolas, he was still in his own thoughts, not looking up, just looking at the floor before him. "Frodo is getting closer to Mordor each day and I am afraid, Sauron is getting more desperate each day. If the Nazgûls have seen two Hobbits walking near his land, but yet Frodo managed to slip away… He will do anything to get to Tiaashar."
"And the war at Minas Tirith will be the perfect place," Elladan said. "But if he gets Tiaashar, she will have the Silmaril, Sauron will kill her."
"Not unless she does not have it," Elrohir said to his brother. "If she does not have it, Sauron will torture her, hurt the child and even Legolas, if he gets him, to try find where it is." Elrohir looked at Legolas, almost expecting him to break down. "But if she has it, the world will probably go under."
"She will not have it with," Aragorn said. "If I know her right, she will do anything to try protect you, Legolas," the future King said to the Elf.
"But at what cost?" Legolas said. "At the cost of losing the child?" Legolas did not want to hear anymore and went to see his wife.
"Did Pippin say anything to Sauron?" Gimli asked.
"There was no lie in Pippin´s eyes. He told Sauron nothing of Frodo and the Ring," Gandalf said. "We´ve been strangely fortunate… If the beacons of Gondor are lit, Rohan must be ready for war," Gandalf said and looked at King Théoden.
"Tell me," King Théoden said. "Why should we ride to the aid of those do did not come to ours? What do we owe Gondor?" The King asked.
"I will go," Aragorn said.
"No," Gandalf said and walked closer to him.
"They must be warned!"
"They will be," Gandalf said. "You must come to Minas Tirith by another road," he whispered to him. "Follow the river, look to the black ships." Gandalf turned to them all.
"Understand this: Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. When Pippin feels ready, I will ride to Minas Tirith with him."
Gandalf and King Théoden left the Golden hall, and Eomer went closer to the rest.
"You should not say any more about Tiaashar to Legolas," Elladan said. "You are on thin ice after what you said, Eomer."
"I am only trying to help, but it is the truth what I said," Eomer said, Elladan nodded, understanding that.
"What should we do about Tiaashar?" Gimli asked. They all was quiet, not sure what to do.
"If the beacons lit, and Théoden King goes to war, it will not happen before 3-4 days, as it takes about 3 days for Gandalf to reach Minas Tirith," Elladan said. "So we have 3 days on us to figure out what."
