There was something about him that caught her eyes . Standing in half
shadows , he gave
the impression of menacing , lethal and dangerous . She could see the gray gleam of his
eyes . She did not move from her spot , nor did she feel like to . She wanted to absorb
this scene like a new sponge , thirsty and wanted more . Although she never seen
him before in his life , she recognize this scene before . It was like a movie , played
back again and she seems to know what going to happen but did not want to spoil
the plot for herself . Her heart beat faster and she was enveloped in warm glow .
She did not know why nor did she care . He too also watch her with keen interest and
she could feel his sharp gaze on her face . He step forward from the shadow , into
the moonlit clearing . He have dark hair and gray eyes that seems to look through
walls and into the heart of someone souls . His lips was pressed thinly and his
large hands was placed on his silver sword hilt . His clothes was travel stained
but his black cloak was pinned with a green jeweled brooch with the shape of 9 pointed
stars . He took out his swords in one smooth movement and the ring of steel was
clear in her minds and echoes in her ears . Yes , she have seen this before but now
she is experiencing it herself . His gleaming sword was pointed directly at her and
mow it lay none to gently on her neck . She did not move , but under her hood she smiled
thinly which he could not see .
" What do you want ? " his voice was ragged , thin and exhausted but it shows his
commands as clear as ringing of steel .
" Nothing . " she said in a husky voice , intending not to let her identity to be known .
" You have followed us for days now . Even sharp eyed Legolas could not see you .
But I have caught you at last and I have been waiting for your answer . Speak now or
be forever doomed with the death laid upon you ! "
From her black horse she towered over him but now he was towering taller than her .
There was something about him and his presence that clearly and instantly told you
that this is a man who you should not be crossed .
" You wanted to know who I am and my business ? Why should I tell you ? "
" Because it is my business to protect my companions and see who has been spying
on us for days . We have important matter to attend to and we won't be delayed by you .
Either you are with the enemy Sauron or the betrayer Saruman . Friends or Foe ? "
Her smile widened and her eyes sparkle in mischief but he could not see it for she
was deeply hooded and covered by the blackness that surround protectively around her .
" It would depend which side you are on . "
" Do not speak riddle ! State your business right now ! In another day I would have
given you a chance but today I do not have the patients nor the care . This would be
your last chance ! " he pressed his swords on her neck , making it harder for her to breathe .
" I am unarmed . " she raised her hands in front of her showing that she bore no weapon .
" I do not care . " he breathed harshly .
" Alright , alright . " she slowly push back her black hood to reveal her identity . Her
hair flowed down her back , shining and gleaming like gold in the sun .
He instantly release his swords from her neck but still pointed dangerously at her .
" It seems to me that you regard woman as dangerous . " she raised her eyebrow and gave
a low smile .
" I know few woman that could be as dangerous as a band of warriors , lady . " he grip his
swords tightly .
" Aye ! You speak true , my lord . And I praise your judge of women . Few do so nowadays . "
her laughter was clear and sweet like water after a long hot journey .
" You have not tell your name yet my lady and what is your purpose to trail us all the time . "
" You have sharp hearing and keen eyes , my lord . Few could detect me but you could even
in couple of days . You must be a well ranger , indeed . My name is Serena and my business ?
I thought you already knew what my business is … ? " she quirked her perfect shape eyebrow
and her meadow grass green eyes glimmered and wavered under the moonlight .
" I only have guessed half of it , my lady . But I am not sure if my answers are true , you need
to confirm me on it . " his gray eyes also shone bright and his rough handsome face has
deep etched lines on it .
She jump from her horse and land softly on the grass , with him still pointing his
swords to her and watched her as she slowly make her way around and faced him .
" Nine companions and fiercely protecting a halfing and making their way to the mines of Moria .
One elf , one dwarf , 2 man , a wizards and four halfings . I wander , what kind
of expedition which makes such an unusual combination of companions ? It must be important
indeed for it have been years since anybody from the outside world dared to set foot in the mines
of Moria . I have been watching you for more than a week now and I have learn each one of you
from afar . One of the halfing carry something precious and dear to the companions . I wander
what it is ? " her voice was smooth as silk and her eyes was piercing hard . He felt uncomfortable
under those gazes . It was different than Elrond's wise gaze or Galadriel- know- it -all gaze . This
was different . It chilled his body but warm his heart and he felt that his secrets is already known
to the world . But he took no chance . Quick like a panther he grab her by her milky neck and
was about to squeeze it when there was an impact on his jaws . The grip loosened but now
he was holding his swords tightly and pinned her with it . A thin scarlet of blood flowed down
her black cloak from her milky neck . She did not move now , her hand was by at her side and
her head was raised in defiance .
" Whoever you are I could not treat you lightly . Trouble is at hand and I could not risk the
sake of my companions . But you are a women and weaponless and I am not a killer so
I would let you go as long as you will not follow us again ! " he step closer toward her , face
Inches apart . She could hear his warm breathing and his gray eyes was as cold as ice .
" I could not do that . I will not go until I have fulfilled my duty and my purpose . "
" And what is that ? " he gritted his teeth .
" To warn you about the danger ahead and to aid you as much as I could . I am a Seeker .
I could see dimly into the future and I could change the course of event if I wanted to .
Believe me ! You need my aid ! Ask your companions instead of relying solely on your
judgement for you are exhausted , tired and have not sleep for days and it effected the
way of your thinking . " her voice was calm and soothing . He have to fight control and
open his eyes wide so he would not fall asleep .He lower his swords and said , " I will ask
my companions of you .I could promise you that but I do not believe your story . "
She nodded and smile warmly . " Good . Lead on . "
He look at her again and quickly judge her . She was taller than any women and
she was as almost as tall as him . Her golden hair flowed down freely behind her like
a cascade of gold waterfall . She was dressed in black cloak that seems to suck all
the light surrounding it , making the wearer almost impossible to see in the darkness .
She was as fair as moonlight and the most beautiful sunrise , her cat green eye glowed against
her milky flawless skin . She stride confidently beside him without holding her horse rein or whisper command
to it but her horse prance slowly behind her , following it's master proudly . It's
coat was black as midnight but glowed in the moon in wavering silver . Under those
black hood anybody could mistake her as one of the black rider for she was clad in all
black and nobody could see the faces except the milky hand and the curve of her figure .
They walk silently in the forest , not even caught the attention of night creature .
Aragorn glance at her few times and watch her by the corner of his eyes but she only
smile warmly like a long lost friends and her eyes sparkle against the dark like a cat .
