of Silver Dreams and Golden Shadows
THREE: Explanations

(Author: Jennzah)

Nobody had moved since Reighn had killed the shadow creature, all save for Arwen, who had recoiled as soon as Reighn had stepped in front of Jairah. She'd gone running for her father and Aragorn. She was a strong elf, but even this shadow had struck fear into her heart.

Legolas watched the strange creature with the red hair, kneeling in front of Jairah, with her hand on her shoulder. Jairah's body shook as the girl passed her memories to Jairah, and when she was finally released, Jairah moved back, away from the girl, slightly afraid.

Then the girl announced her name, "Reighn". She carried a beautiful sword, which was now sheathed at her side.

Legolas took this moment to run to Jairah's side and pick her up protectively. "Who are you?" he asked, a bit angrily.

Reighn turned her gaze onto Legolas for the first time. "Legolas," she said, with a small smile on her face. "I mean her no harm, please do not fear me." She said. "I am here to help."

Legolas narrowed his eyes at her, he did not trust her, though she did protect Jairah from the shadow. He looked at Jairah, who was breathing fast in his arms, still frightened.

"It said it was a servant of Sauron!" Jairah said. "But Sauron is destroyed!" The name of Sauron caused everyone fear in their hearts, except Reighn.

Reighn shook her head. "No. He still lingers. It is true that he is very weak, with the Ring of Power being destroyed. But he is seeking all power left, all magical power. Jairah posesses in her blood, a power so old and powerful that Sauron would use it to re-emerge."

They stared at her when Elrond spoke, "That is Athair is it not?"
Her eyes flashed up to the elf Lord, "Aye."
"How can you weild it? And what do you mean power," Elrond spoke.
A slight smile flickered over Reighn's lips, "Jairah knows who I am, and what the power she holds is. I would introduce myself properly. I and Princess Reighn O'Haire, Heir of Dahlin and wielder of the sword Athair."
Elrond gripped the railing by which he stood, "A true Celt then."
She smiled and tucked loose hair behind her ear, revealing an intracate celtic dragon tattoo on her neck, it was small, but it was there, "Aye. I am a true Celt. We are few, but we live."
"But they no longer exhist..."
"They do," she said, "If we did not then I would not be here."
"What do you mean," Aragorn asked, staring.
"I am from thousands of years in the future. I am the only one strong enough to feel your power awaken Jairah," Reighn said, then addressed the entire group, "Sauron can steal her power as long as it stays wild and untrained. I have come to teach her to control and use the Power."
"What if I don't want to learn," Jairah said.
Reighn's eyes saddened, "Then I fear that Sauron will get ahold of the Power and destroy us all with it. The power you now weild is stronger than even that of Galadriel. You have Celtic blood in your veins, or you would not weild the Power at all."
"What is this power," Legolas questioned, pulling Jairah into his arms.
"The Power is the power to draw on the earth for magical power. The stronger your ability the more you can do. The Celts are healers, we heal the earth when it hurts, and we fight the neverending darkness that threatens it. Jairah now holds the power to making a dieing sapling grow and flourish. With training she could eventually be able to regrow entire forests and heal lands the size of Mordor," Reighn responded.
"Can you do this," Arwen asked in curiosity.
Reighn smiled, "Aye. I have trained for this my entire life. I came into power when I was ten, I have had Athair by my side since then. When my home was destroyed I took to the forest and the earth and Athair taught me to use my powers. - she faltered - I am the Heir of Dahlin, therefore I hold the responsibility of my people, a lot wieghs heavily on my shoulders."
"Will the dreams go away," Jairah asked.
Reighn turned to her, "They will. I will sheild you while you learn, until you are strong enough to sheild yourself."
