Legolas and Nimbus sat up in their tree with heavy hearts, for they knew that all too soon the hobbits would want to come check on them, and waiting their was Luniar and his evil army. Gimili too was in grave danger, but none of them knew.
Nimbus heard a twig crack behind them, and turned around. She was ready to fight, but was pleasantly surprised when she came face to face with Gimili. She threw her arms around the dwarf and hugged him close.
"Get off get off!" Gimili insisted.
He half smiled, though, when he saw Legolas put his arm around Nimbus.
"So, you two are back together?"
Legolas nodded, then his face fell grave. He looked from Nimbus to Gimili, then took a breath and started to talk.
"Aragorn is dead. The hobbits are next, then you, then us."
Gimili threw his head back and laughed.
"You are bluffing."
Nimbus shook her head and jumped down from the tree.
"Would you like to see the body of Aragorn, and Luniar's army by the Shire?"
Gimili fell to his knees. Tears leaked from his eyes, something that Nimbus had never scene.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"This is like the Fellowship all over again...Everyone dies, or at least almost dies."
Nimbus put her arm around Gimili's shoulders.
"But we have some hope," she said.
"And what would that be?"
"You, Legolas, and me."
Gimili shook his head.
"You are young and full of dreams that will never come true."
"Why do you doubt me becuase I look young?"
Gimili looked into the elf's eyes. He could see that she was not as young as she looked. There was a hidden wisdom and understand that was only that of someone who had lived at least past their first hundred years.
"How old did you think I was, Gimili?" Nimbus asked.
"Twenty..."
"Just twenty?" Nimbus said.
"You look like a human teenager!" Gimili exclaimed.
Nimbus laughed. Her face lost all age that it had gained from her eyes, and she looked like she forgot everything.
"I am far from my teen years," she said.
Legolas nodded.
"It seems that only elves can sense the age of other elves," he said.
Gimili rose to his feet and took Nimbus's hands in his own.
"I realize that there is much danger here," Gimili said, "but I will stand by both of you until the bitter end."
Legolas nodded.
"Thank you," Nimbus said.
