Tay beamed and looked over at Legolas, 'The earth sings sweetly here," Legolas grinned and nodded.
"To Allanon, we give you a sword you can call your own and that will come in great use when protecting the ones you love," Galadriel said as several elves carring trays of the gifts came from the shadows of the trees. Allanon came forward and kneeled before the Lady and accepted the elvish blade. She looked into his eyes and his went wide.
"Of course, My Lady," He said softly, and stood.
"To Risca, we give a hammer, made by dwarves and given to us long ago, we have no need for such weapons and pass it on to ones who can use it." Risca bowed and accepted the large war hammer.
"And to Meia, I have three gifts,"
Meia timidly stepped forward, and kneeled before Galadriel. First, she handed the small girl a golden quill and scroll, " Meia, it is time you learn from your mistakes, and if you cannot learn from your old mistakes, make ones you can learn from," She said. Meia accepted the quill and scroll numbly and then Galadriel handed her a small crystal orb filled a pearly liquid. "This is a toy, enjoyed by our youngest children, but as you can see, there are no elvish children here. Hopefully, it will bring you joy,"
"And to Brom, I give you this," She pulled from a tray a chain and pedant of Mythril. The pendent was a flourished G
A baffled Meia, accepted the third gift and went back into the crowd.
(A/N I'm lazy and the gifts are the same as in the book. Aragorn gets a broach and a ring, Gimli gets locks of Galadriel's hair , Merry and Pippin get dagger, Sam a box with soil from her garden, Boromir a waist chain made to look like linked flowers, Legolas gets a bow and some arrows, and Frodo gets the phial of Galadriel.)
To everyone was given a leaf broach and an elvish cloak. At this time, Frodo walked over to Allanon and handed him back his cloak, "I want you to thank you for lending us your cloak," Frodo said to Allanon.
Your welcome, I'm sure you'll treat her well, and you'll make an excellent father, I think,"
Frodo went a shade of green.
"W-what?" he choked..
"Frodo, the Lothlorien is a place of light, joy, and birth. To make love in a place like this is to expect new life. I felt it in her, so do the elves,"
Frodo looked torn, like he didn't know whether to feel proud or ashamed. Finally, the tiny hobbit looked Allanon in the eye and asked, "Are you mad at us?"
Allanon shook his head," No, Frodo, in fact, I'm very happy for you both, but I would suggest not telling anyone or her until this quest is over,"
Frodo nodded as Aragorn spoke up and told them all it was time to go.
So we travel by boat. Down the river and beach the boats before a set of rapids.
"Now," Aragorn said as we gathered round to make camp, "We must decide which way we go. Do we head toward Minas Tirith or do we head to the Gate of the black lands?"
"I say we let Frodo decide, after all its his burden," Gimli said. Everyone agreed. Frodo looked around, feeling much like a rabbit backed into a corner.
"I will decide, but I need time," He rose, "Let me be alone for a while and then I will tell you my answer,"
"Very well," Said Aragorn, "But do not be too long. We will not go far." Frodo caught Meia's blue eyes and he nodded. She was to leave him too.
"Come on, Lady," Sam said pulling on the small girl's arm and lead her away from Frodo.
