Slowly, Annundaeiel awoke. The first thing she was aware of was a strong light shinning directly in her eyes. She tried to roll over, which didn't work, as she couldn't summon the strength. Next, she tried to fling an arm over her eyes, which also didn't work, for the same reason. Giving up, she opened her eyes. Sleep now was impossible, once she woke up, she was up. Looking up, she realized that she was in her own rooms. She closed her eyes again. Hearing rustling, she opened them again. A blond elf walked in, holding a small book, she seemed quite immersed in it. She looked vaguely familiar, but through her exhaustion, she could not place her. Annundaeiel tried to sit up again, but was stopped by a voice, soft, but commanding.
"I would advise against that, you tried it a day ago, and promptly collapsed again."
She started, she had been awake before? Unexpectedly the events of the last time she had been awake and standing came flooding back, a thousand questions swamped her mind.
"How long have I been asleep? Where is everyone? Where are the orcs? What about Gollum?"
"Easy! Calm down little one! You have been asleep for three days, many are back in their homes, and the orcs have gone south with a small band following them, because Gollum is with them or following close behind, King Thranduil would like to see you, as well as Maegmariel, Baranoonien and Legolas. Legolas and Maegmariel are with the hunting party for Gollum, so only Baranoonien and Thranduil may see you now, and only for short periods of time."
Annundaiel stared openly, there was only one person she knew that could manage to drag a simple sentence out for two full minutes.
"Now I know who you are! Maikanaur, Baranoonien's friend!"
Maikanaur smiled.
"Aye, I have the pleasure of knowing Baranoonien, if it can be called that."
Chuckling, Annundaeiel slowly began to get up again, but stopped when she received a sharp look from her caretaker. She was just trying to decide what to do, when Thranduil walked in. Rising gracefully from her seat, Maikanaur curtseyed. Getting a pointed look from her king, Maikanaur helped Annundaeiel to sit up, grumbling the entire time. When she was in a sitting position, Maikanaur left, curtseying again as she went out. Thranduil smiled.
"My dear, you had us all worried!"
She smiled.
"I had myself worried, I must have overdone my self."
"Indeed you did, we felt the magic from the gardens! Am I correct in thinking that it was Nenya's power that you used?"
Annundaeiel felt her jaw drop.
"Y-You know who I-I am?"
"Of course, after I married Celibriay, Galandriel considered going to Valinor. Well, since she could not take the ring, she was going to give it to Celibray, I and my wife learned of your family, and your power."
He sighed.
"However, when Celibray was killed, Galandriel dropped all plans, and stayed. When you came I knew who you were, though no one else does."
She breathed easier. Had Thranduil told everyone of her true heritage, she did not know what she would have done. Generally, people feared her name as they would a plauge. LaSinglo, which usually meant 'of the ring' scared everyone. It had driven her out of her previous homes countless times, Lorien, Rivendell, Gondor where she had dwelt with the half elves, they had all turned away after learning her true name. It had not been the rulers, but the people. Most did not care to give her a chance. When she had come to Mirkwood, she had learned from her mistakes. She only told the royal family of her true name when she had come. With the rest of the people she used no last name. It was common enough, so she was passed for a Lorien elf who had moved to Mirkwood when her parents had died. She stopped the thought there, wincing. Thranduil put a hand onto her shoulder, he could see the pain in her eyes.
"Annundaeiel LaSinglo, your parents are proud of what you have done, as am I."
He looked down to see that she had fallen asleep.
Quietly he rose and left, leaving Annundaeiel to her dreams.
