Lothlorien – part one
The next morning was silent. They didn't have time for breakfast, and everyone was hungry. It was a hot day, and with little water it was not pleasant, at all. They came upon a field.
"Come, we must run. We musn't be in open spaces for long, not with orcs and such about." Legolas warned before they entered the grassy field.
All the hobbits groaned but did not protest. They ran, many of times looking over there shoulders to make sure they were not being chased.
Before they crossed, Pippin fell to the ground in exhaustgen. He panted for air.
Adela noticed and jogged over to tired Pip.
"Come now, Pip; were are almost crossed. You can do it." Adela said kneeling down by him.
Pippin shook his head in protest. Adela frowned.
"I'm so tired…" Pippin moaned.
Adela look sympatheticly at the tired hobbit.
"I know, I know. We all are, but we must keep going. Now, what would we do without you? We'd be a very boring bunch." Adela said with a laugh.
Pippin struggled to his feet.
"Your right, what would you do without me." Pippin sighed.
"Come on, then" Adela said as she continued to run across the field.
The others were already at the other side.
"We must keep going, we musn't rest till night, it is too dangerous." Aragon said placing a firm hand on Pippins shoulder. Pippin nodded.
They entered the forest in silence. The hobbits had fallen behind, but only by alittle.
"Must keep up, hobbits. There is a sorceress in this forest, a one of dark power. I wouldn't want to get caught in her relm." Gimli said gruffly.
Just then, elves appeared all around the fellowship. Three or four on each person. Adela looked at each direction to see an arrow pointed at her and the others. Adela placed a hand on her dagger just in case. Haldir, an elf, cam out in front of the other elves and began to speak:
" The dwarf breathes so loud, we could of shot him in the dark."
Gimli growled slightly.
"You cannot turn back now; You have entered the realm of the Lady of the Forest."
"We come asking your protection, this is the Ring bearer." Aragon said, gesturing towards Frodo whom held the ring.
"This is the ring bearer? Follow me." Haldir said, as the other elves lowered there bows.
Soon, they came upon a most strange but beautiful place. Haldir lead them to where they would meet Celeborn and the Lady Galadriel. Soon they both came to the fellowship.
Galadriel glanced at everyone in the fellowship, talking through her mind to each soul.
Galadriel's gaze met Adela's, and she began to speak:
'You have fallen to the rings power, do you believe you are a threat to the ring bearer.'
Adela's eyes widned, and she began to reply mentally. 'I-I…no, I made a promise to Frodo'
'Yes, to stick with him. But death, as you said, haunts every horizon; death is near.' Then it ended.
Celeborn be gan to speak to the fellowship:
"Where is Gandalf, I would much like to speak with him."
Galadriel looked into Frodo's eyes.
"He has fallen." Galadriel said softly.
"Already, only eight remain of the fellowship. But please get some rest, you are weary and full of sorrow."
The fellowship found it hard to relax,
Adela ventured the strange area. It truly was beautiful. The waters were silver and the forest emreld. But what the lady had told her haunted her every thought. Frodo approached Adela who was leaning against a tree root by a stream.
Frodo smiled slightly, she was always somewhere else, never in reality. Frodo decided to join her but not disturb her thoughts. He would go unnoticed. He sat on a tree root only a maybe a foot away from hers. Adela did not notice.
Just then Frodo noticed something, her eyes were no longer a soft blue, but more of a misty gray. Frodo saw a single tear stream down her pale face. Frodo's eyes widned and soon knelt down by her, breaking her thought. Adela hastily wipped her tears away, feeling foolish.
"What is the matter?" Frodo asked concerned.
Adela stared into Frodo's eyes, they were a pale blue. She gave a weak smile, Frodo knew it was fake.
"Its just something the lady said….Frodo if I ever, for any reason leave or die, take this" she said pulling out her red orb.
"It will help you in your greatest time of need"
Frodo smiled but shook his head.
"I will protect you, I will not let you die."
Adela laughed "I believe I am supposed to protect you, mister Frodo.
