She grab the sword from Frodo's hand and threw it to Aragorn . Frodo almost
cried as he watch the sword slowly arc in a wide circlein the air . " Catch
it . " Serena shout . Aragorn look up above and hold out his hands .
Surprisingly Aragorn did not have to move from his spot to catch it , he
only hold out his hands open and caught the swords swiftly . His gray eyes
studied the swords up and down and he turn it over and over again , testing
it
and ran fingers along the blade . Frodo ran up to him and saw that his finger was bleeding after
he ran it along the blade . " Very sharp it is . " he said in deep thought . Then he look up and his
gray eyes flared and burn bright , his lips too also curled into a smile . " Serena . Good morning . "
She nodded . " Good morning Aragorn . Care to have a sword's match ? " her eyes twinkle in mischief .
Aragorn seems to be in a good mood . He smiled , " Why not ? What is the rule ? "
" We exchange sword . I use yours and you use mine . "
Frodo glanced at both of them but they hardly notice him as they smiled to each other and exchange
Hidden message .
" I don't think so . Isildurs 's swords is can only be used by Isildur heir . And I am not worthy
for a such a fine swords . ' he said while looking at the ever still glowing sword .
" Alright then I will use Boromir's . How about that ? " she put her hands on her hips .
" Why are you eager for me to use your swords ? "
" Because I wanted to know if any mortal men could handle the sword of Etherna . " her smile widened and
her green eye flared like bright gem .
" Alright then . You could use mine . " Aragorn nodded .
Serena bowed to him and hold out Aragorn's swords while Aragorn used the Etherna sword .
Frodo back a few step , realizing that they would need a bigger space , and lean against the tree
watching both of them intensely . He knew that Aragorn is the master of swords skill seeing
how he drive off the ringwraith all by himself . But he wanted to know Serena's ability , Frodo
watch her porcelain face , her flowing gold hair that match with her white simple but beautiful
flowing dress .
" Ready ? "
" Only when you are . " she said .
Aragorn attacked with great intensity but Serena block it lightly as if his attack was merely like
a small kids , she twirled and danced in the wind , blocking , dodging but she never attack . Aragorn's
attack became greater and greater sometimes tricking her , but she never attacked him . The sword
of Etherna glowed brighter and brighter with every blow until Frodo could not see a sword , merely
a silver light coming from Aragorn's hand . Serena suddenly smile , " Aragorn son of Arathon ,
the rightful heir to the throne of Gondor , surely you could better than that ! Think of me as not
a women but as a rightful opponent ! " then she suddenly leap toward him in a flash , bringing her
swords down in an arc so fast that Frodo did not see her coming toward Aragorn , . Her sword's tip lay gently on his throat but his swords also lay gently over her heart . They were locked in place not moving or seems to be breathing. Other elves who saw The match now stand unmoving silent as a tree , eager to see what will happen next . Frodo was breathless , he never saw such match with both opponents seems unnaturally beautiful and deadly
at the same time . Serena's attack was as graceful as a feather and her block was light and
she made it look like an enchanting dance while Aragorn looks like the King of Old whose swordmanship
was the finest of the land and who could defeat any other mortal in a match .
Slowly , Serena smiled , her golden hair moved under the gentle breeze again , her white dress flowed
gracefully under her feet and suddenly she look like a Goddes , her cheek were pink although she
wasn't breathless . " That was the best match I ever had , Aragorn . I am honored . " she bowed
her head and handed his sword, hilt first . " You are truly Isildur's heir . " she added .
Aragorn look at her and smiled , " And I never had a match with a women who could beat me ."
They both laughed softly and the elves suddenly clap , Aragorn and Serena look around at the
elves and the smiling Frodo .
The sword of Etherna glowed even brighter , bright as the sun except it was pure silver light .
Aragorn gave it to Serena with a bowed head , Serena hold it up to the sun and the sword
shines like the brightest of the brightest star , enveloping Serena in glowing silver and bathing
The clearing in white light . Frodo could only see her dim shape against the light and Aragorn
beside her then suddenly the light went away and Frodo blink hard . Serena did not hold the
sword anymore , her hands at her side and her gaze lay upon Aragorn .
