" We have to bid you goodbye . " Celebron said . " But Galadriel had something to present to you . " he said

and remove his gaze from Frodo to Galadriel . She nodded and rose from her seat .

" I have gifts for each and one of you . " she swept her gaze over the companions seated on the ground with

drinking cup by their side . " Let it be an aid for you in your quest . "

" For Gandalf the grey . Let this be an aid for you . " she gave him a small wooden box , smooth and carven

simply in flowers and leaves . Gandalf nodded and placed the small box in his hand .

" For Aragorn son of Arathon . What do you wish for ? "

Aragorn lowered his gaze to the ground , "Lady you know all my desire which

you have kept away from me and the only treasure I seek but today above all day I am doubtful of my own

wishes . I wish for nothing , my lady . "

Galadriel's face remained calm like still pool although there was sadness in her eye , " Then I only have

one gift for you . " she gave him a sheath that had been made of silver and gold . " The blade which

drawn from this sheath will not be broken nor stained even in defeat . " Aragorn bowed his head

and sank to the ground .

Then Galadriel gave Boromir a belt of gold , to Merry and Pippin she gave them a small silver belt .

To legolas she gave him a bow along with a quiver of arrows . She turned to Sam and gave him a

small wooden box , " This is for a little gardener such as you . Plant this around your garden

and you shall see glimpse of Lorien and remind of Galadriel from your home , if you ever return ."

She turn to Gimli , " And what does a dwarf want of the elves ? "

" None lady it is enough of me to hear your gentle words , "

" But surely you wanted something ? Name it , I bid you . ? "

" It is nothing – nothing my lady , perhaps – a single strand of your hair . I do not ask for

such gifts but you commanded me . "

There was a ripple of murmur from the elves , " And what will you do to it ? " she smiled .

Gimli bowed again , " Treasure it my lady . "

Then she took a small knife and cut three strands of her pale yellow hair and placed it on

Gimli's hand who bowed lowly before sitting on the ground .

" And Frodo , the ring bearer . I have one gift for you which could be a great aid in your journey . "

she held up a small crystal phial which glittered as it moved slowly . Frodo took the phial . He bowed

low but have no words to say .

Galadriel moved her gaze to Serena who slowly rose to her towering height . Today she wore a

dress the color of summer blue sky which bring forth her jeweled eyes , her golden hair flowed freely

behind her but her forehead was bound with small glittering beads and a six pointed star decorated

with blue gems the color of sea which lay on her forehead . She indeed look fit as a queen , beautiful ,

shining forth above all else . Galadriel and Serena stood in silent of a moment as if there was

A unspeak message coming forth between them . Then Galadriel smiled sadly , " To Anungwathiel, I have no gifts which could aid you nor would give you pleasure but I wishes you to not regret the path that you have chosen for there is no coming back . '

" I have chosen that path and I knew I could not come back . " Serena replied , her eyes were the

color of the trees above them and seems to sway in emotions as she speak . Serena walked toward

Galadriel , both women were the same height as Serena stood in front of her and clasp her hand

with Galadriel . " Thank you . " she whisper to Galadriel who nodded with a sad smile .

At last , drifting gently following the current of the rivers , the companions look back

to Galadriel and Celebron who stood at the edge of the bank , hands raised as they bid their

farewell and look at the companions with a small smile .
