chapter three - the Eyriens
How to explain the existence of the Eyriens. They came to middle earth long before the elves did, or long before the elves woke. There was no evil in the land when the Eyrien's ruled. If you could call it that. They were or are telepaths, they can trick the mind with illusions, but they are pure beings, made of light, and serve a higher god, they are the protectors of the Istari, and some or all Eyriens still in existence live in the Realm of the Mists.
How they came to be in the realm of the mists, long story cut short. They were banished there by the Elves. For the elves did not believe that there could be a higher form then they. They warred and the Eyrien's already weakened by the first war of the Ring disappeared, behind the wall of mists. Even the elves did not know that they still existed, they thought that they had died off. As they themselves are doing, leaving the middle earth shores to live the immortal life of an elf.
Eyrien's are immortal. But like the moon, they have strengths and weaknesses. Such as the one that Elen displayed, they reached a certain age where the need to mate with the ultimate soul mate would procure their lives. If they didn't, or chose not to then they would indeed die and retire to live in the ancient halls of the Valar, for they were also children of the valar. So ancient.
Gandalf looked at Eomer and Aragorn. Two men who were now his students in Eyrien history. "they are as ancient as the balrog, the one Aragorn you and the fellowship faced in moria, and the one that brought to end my reign as gandalf the grey, they have ways not known to you, they are the laws of life, the elves banished them for they did not know what made an eyrien the way they were, the eyrien's were more purer than any lifeform could possibly be, the elves did not understand that". "that's why they said to me, do not mistake us as such, when I asked them if they were elves". Aragorn said. "they have an intense dislike of the elves, they are kin, but now they are enemies". Gandalf explained. "then what will happen when the elves come here to help us fight Sauron?" Eomer asked. "Lucien will face them, and try to make peace". Gandalf told him. A figure in the door distracted Gandalf, the other two men turned as the wizard made his way to the door. The figure was in the darkness, out of the circle of light that bathed the room. "I am going to Lothlorien old man, the time has come to see the lady of the golden woods". "Lucien, you are not going alone". Gandalf told her adamantly. "I am, I will go by way of eyrien, I shall not be long, Dorian will lead the army if I fail". "elves have not seen you in your true form". Gandalf argued. "Galadriel has". She answered. "be wary of everything around you, be attuned to all". "do not worry old man, I have wandered into Mordor after all". Lucien said with a smile. "and it was very nearly your death, they caught you". "I was young and inexperienced in the ways of my people, I am no longer". She looked past his shoulder and saw Eomer. "it has ended old man". "nothing ends with the words traveled by another, you have yet a long road with him, take care and good journey Lucien". He embraced her. She turned and walked away. "where is she going?" Eomer asked as he and Aragorn walked upto him. All 3 watching her leave. "she is going to Lorien, to see Galadriel". "she cannot go alone". Aragorn argued. "she has to, it is the only way, the orcs will not see her this time". Gandalf said quietly. "what do you mean?" both men asked. "she was a prisoner of Mordor long ago, young and naïve she was, but no longer, she is the most experienced of them all now". With that Gandalf went down to rest. Aragorn caught Eomer as he tried to leave. "our council with Gandalf has not ended". Aragorn told him quietly. "I cannot let her leave with harsh words spoken between us". Eomer said to him. "she will return". "how to you know?" eomer's eyes searched the gondorian. "she told me"
"how?" Eomer asked already knowing the answer. "telepathy". Aragorn went and sat down with Gandalf leaving Eomer by the door watching the night draw closer.
"she never spoke to you Aragorn". Gandalf told him quietly. "no". Aragorn agreed.
"then why?"
"Eomer will lead the Rohans against Sauron, we need him here, Lucien I know can take care of herself, if she's anything like Legolas with the bow then she is a killer, even more so if she is of the world that existed before the elves woke". Aragorn concluded. Gandalf agreed with him and they both watched Eomer turn resigned back to them and sit down and wait for Gandalf to resume their talk about the Eyriens.
