Chapter 2
Explanations
Eve paused. "Yes she replied." a cool breeze blew her dress to the left side. The creature that was with Aragorn smiled.
'She looks so elegant,' he thought. 'for a human.' Galadriel smiled at Eve and began to tell the tale.
Eve was given a chair during the story. When Galadriel got to the part of the Council of Elrond, she began to name off the fellowship members. Eve was quite surprised to hear that Aragorn was included in the fellowship.
"In fact, we have two members of the fellowship in our presence." she motioned to Aragorn and the other creature. "Aragorn, son and heir of Arathorn, and Legolas, son of Thranduil and prince of Mirkwood. Eve turned to Aragorn and Legolas. They bowed to her. Galadriel continued on with her story, adding in information of elves and dwarfs.
It was dark at the end of the tale, and Eve was leaning forward in her chair in awe. Galadriel smiled at her.
"Do you wish to rest, Miss Eve?" she asked. "You have been told much today, and you must be weary." Eve yawned.
"I will rest after I get a few questions answered, Lady Galadriel." she leaned back in her chair.
"Please go ahead," said Lord Celeborn, puzzled by her uncomfortable looking pose in the chair.
"You said that I'm in Middle-Earth." she said. "What part of Middle- Earth am I in exactly?"
Celeborn stood. "You are in Lothlorien, in the forests of Lorién, east to the mountains that block us off from Rivendell and many lands few of us know about, excepting Aragorn and Legolas."
"And, you and your people are elves?"
"Yes." replied Celeborn kindly.
"I thought elves didn't exist though."
"Observe your surroundings, Miss Eve." said Galadriel. "We are all or friends of the race of elves. We are not the only elves in Middle-Earth, though we are known to have the fairest land."
"You also told me of dwarves, what are they exactly?" Celeborn began to speak, but Galadriel cut him off.
"Dwarves are creatures with a talented hand in the subject of mining and forging. They dwell now in the Mines of Moria once again after defeating the mighty Balrog and the Orcs. We have rivaled with them for many years, but we are now growing friendly with each other."
Eve yawned again. "Do you wish to sleep now your questions have been answered?" Eve shook her head.
"I wish to know, if this place is, is." she stammered. "Is this place the afterlife?" she suddenly remembered the horrible crash that she had been sent here from. Galadriel smiled.
"The Afterlife is the haven for the person whom lives It." she looked at Eve in her eyes. "This may be your afterlife, if your time here has been happy and rich. Rest now Miss Eve." she looked towards Aragorn and Legolas. "I will give you an escort to the lands if you wish to learn more." Eve yawned again.
"Come with me, Miss Eve." said a guard elf. "I will lead you to your sleeping quarters."
Eve was taken to a large treetop to sleep in a bed which lay under a light blue curtain. She was surprised to hear many voices in the night. Some were laughing and some were singing. She slept on the same platform as Legolas and Aragorn; however Legolas didn't go to sleep. He roamed the platform, gazing up at the sky. Every now and then, he glanced at her.
