~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Serenity breathed in the fresh air, then walked fairly fast down a series of stairs to the ground where she was to meet the fellowship. Just before, she had another talk with Lord Elrond, this time she gave a solemn oath, as Lord Elrond said, that she has to live.


[Flash back]

"Lady Serenity" Elrond carefully spoke her name.

"Good morning Lord Elrond! ah! the birds seems to be giving a praise for finally the light is fighting together against the darkness," Serenity said almost cheerfully but stopped when Elrond's own eyes looked darker then usual.

"Something greatly bad happened, Lord Elrond?" Serenity carefully asked, afraid of the answer.

"No, Lady Serenity, my family is still worried because of your emotional fragility and some events to come may tear your heart apart, and surely we can not just stand by the side and watch it happen. But as I have assured them , that you have promised last night that you will be alive to come back to Imaldris but are you sure?"

Serenity smiled, masking her saddened face. "Surely a soldier can face another battle, for she can not weep and grieve for her friends always, but to fight another battle if that will bring the rest of the world peace and harmony"

"You always seemed be afraid of your fate, I wish that this one may not end so"

"Lord Elrond, I am to give an Oath that will last beyond the stars, for all eternity even if the stars themselves have dimmed out" Serenity paused then took out something from her pocket, which Elrond didn't see any place for.

"Here, Lord Elrond accept this token of my promise, be assured and rest your mind of my fate"

Elrond recieved a Necklace with a crescent moon shaped pendent with shimmering glow to the silver metal with a luminious gem in the middle.Elrond looked up in question.

"The Gem in the middle will always shimmer except when I die, it shall stop shimmering then but when I am reborn it shall glow again. It was a gift from one of my court member...she was wonderful at crafting magickal objects" Serenity said with a sad smile, as if looking back at her past.

"Thank you, I shall keep it close to me, I hope rest of the fellowship treats you well, for may Illuvatar bless you, come Fellowship is coming together now"

[End of flashback]


Serenity sighed and waved at the place she has lived in peace for last three weeks. It wa an unforgettable place, she hoped jsut that things will turn out and that she be alive in the end, where ever this quest will take her.


She talked mainly to Aragorn, whom now she knows most then rest of the fellowship. Serenity supposed Elf Legolas was also an amiable character, a good friend to Aragorn, since he says he has known Aragorn since Aragorn was a child.

"Lady Serenity, what do you hope to seek here? this quest is dangeorus as the one you left behind just a different quest this time" Aragorn asked, looking slightly sideways to see Serenity's reaction. Her face frawned for a fleeting moment before it smoothed out to a trained regal look she wore always.

" I hope to seek my self, my heart and my redemption, Aragorn, as you know, like the elves, I have lived thousands of years, in those years, much meditation on the meaning of life has become clear to me, much I am a Queen, I always be soldier also, nothing can change that so I tried to make most of the things we had, our own emotions to what we have... I was different, when I was barely 14 years old, I never knew it our bring out a side of me I would have never noticed...|"
Serenity paused before continuing again,"...I suppose if you saw someone yoou loved dearly, turn against you, your world is shattered, but as I resided here, I decided that soldier should never give up, until the last moment not till death even in my next life time I would still fight"

"Does that sadden you you? knowing that is the life you are to live forever?" Aragorn asked, curious.

"Yes , sometimes, but not always...sometimes after defeating the evil there is this bliss, knowing at least the evil has gone..I felt that so many times."


Both fell silent, thinking different things. Gandalf silently quickly glanced when they stopped for a short rest. Legolas on duty on watch out, as everyone agreeed he has the best of physical senses to alert them.

"Dear child, your heart is heavy will you not rest easy even for a moment?" Gandalf asked Serenity who startled out of her reverie or deep thought.

"Gandalf, no not really I can't not when my heart feels so heavy, how can onerest so easily? both in body and in spirit?life is not always fair"

Gandalf slowly nodded smiling uneasily to eiher himself or Serenity.

"Yes, you are right, very right...how times go fast"

Serenity blinked and tried look for her wrist watch and realised it was no longer there, realised she was still partial to her old world, nothing could tear her away from her past for certain? right? nothinghave ever done it before..so how can this world can take away the painful past?


Rivendell~

"Father you worry so hard, should you not rest? the gem is glowing, Lady Serenity is fine, and I believe if she is alive then so is the fellowship" Arwen said as she climbed a small flight of stairs, where Elrond looked over the beautiful fall near Rivendell.

"Aye, Arwen, tis it is, but also worried of the news from other parts of the middle earth, the evil that resides in MirkWood and the army that Saruman creates, a hideous creation that is violation of Illuvatar, Sadly last of all our times are ending here, not many will be staying back in middle earth, sometimes maybe I wished my brother chose to be an Elvinkind as well, leaving me behind all those thousands of years ago. both of my parents whom have become elves and are happy in Aman...but yet until this ring I wear forshakes it's power, I can not rest, be a subject to the One Ring"

"But, I shall be remain back, Estel and I perhaps recieve the Doom Illuvatar have bestowed on Mankind, which Estel tells me that man shall be free of this physical world, one can fly among the stars and here them sing. If that was the doom Illuvatar have bestwed on Mankind, it shall not be so bad, for Estel is the last of Numenorean, which still the last of the noble blood from Numenorean flows through his veins, I shall be content, with him I shall be with him even in the far flung stars, watching over the world we have left."

Elrond sighed, and wished sometimes that his mother in law did not take steps to ensure Arwen's choice of soulmate in Aragorn, Did Lady Galadrial already knew the future and took steps to make it happen?He did not wish for his precious daughter to remain behind in a world where it will be filled with Mankind.He has set Estel a set of task, he knew he would despair but never give up the hope. If everything goes alright, Estel would achieve his desire, and the set of tasks that was assigned to him. Unlike Beren and Luthien, they would live long life but that did not consol him at all.

"Must you stay here, in a world that will be filled with Mankind?" Elrond asked, still watching the brilliant crescent moon in the silent peaceful nightsky.

"Yes, for my destiny was to be with him, and it shall be so, as was Luthien's" Arwen answered calmly back not affected by his plea.

Elrond nodded then "You should rest now, for the night is high all needs rest "

Arwen smiled and bowed lightly before going back to her quarters. For Elrond he sat in his chamber and deeply thought until he decided that he should rest for awhile.


Serenity~

Serenity walked, still deep in thought, until all her senses suddenly hit an evil energy a large amount of it. Her head snapped up seeing Gandalf struggle to hold back an Avlanche obviously send by someone, without thought Serenity immediatly flung out her power and helped Gandalf hold it back, Gandalf looked at her and smiled then yelled out to the others, "Hurry go! go past here! get out of here fast as you can! NOW!" last word was almost bellowed out in effort to hold back the raging mountain. Serenity grimaced at the situation, elf Legolas led the others, but looked back in regret of not being able to do anything. Serenity felt helpless, then frawning deeply before with her might and strength freed her magickal power blasting back the dark power that spoke to the ears of the now enraged mountain. Serenity knew this would almost drain her but it was the only way.With her the pwoer blazed, like if sun has risen around her, her eyes were blazing electric blue and hair a glowing silverish color flying in a swirl all around her.Her power was felt across the lands, even in Rivendell, when all magickal objects and magick that was left in this middle earth of goodness struggled to respond to her magick's call.It's as if all everything of goodness listened to her, like if she was their mistress.


Gandalf felt the power that was of pure goodness, a power that could overwhelm the power that seems everything inthis place would listen to, power that would go against the power of Sauron squarly but in the end would kill her for using tremendous amount of power, for he knew she could do more magick, infinitly stronger then this one she has unleashed.

Gandalf smiled after the bright light died down and saw her go down to her knees, tired.

"My child, you have done very well, your power was felt across land I am sure, things may change but now we should get down and rest before journeying onto the Lothlorien forest"

Serneity looked up at Gandalf smiled very tiredly before struggled to get up, immediatly, she saw Elf Legolas with Boromir come back with the horse they took.

"Lady Serenity! you are ...you can't even get up! you shouldn't..." Legolas quietly said as he helped her on to the horse start leading the rest of the group down to the other side, Serenity saw a vast forest stretched out.

"That is Lothlorien forest, where the Lady Galadrial resides, her wisdom is oneof the oldest on middle earth, also mother in law to Lord Elrond, for Lady Celebrian hailed from here" Legolas explained as they stopped for a short while before cotinuing on their road. Serenity wondered, what coudll wait for her there? something certainly was...yet she did nothave much of clue what that be.
