A/N: Hello, I have no reviews so far *sniff sniff* oh well, I'm happy
anyway =) R&R please! *gravels*
Chapter Three
Haldir kept true to his word, he made his way to the Silver Ring (yes I made that up.this is a fanfic =) where the Lord and Lady spent most of their time.
Lord Celeborn was sitting in his thrown, holding the hand of Lady Galadriel.
He bowed onto one knee. "My Lord, My Lady" he greeted them
"At ease Haldir" Lord Celeborn motioned him to stand up.
"The women, Énya, who was brought to us 3 nights ago" he tried to remain confident when Lord Celeborn gave him a slightly annoyed look
"Her People in Dunlorien are under attack by the Uruk-Hai, her people are small. They don't have enough soldiers to keep them at bay. She requests us to send reinforcements"
Lady Galadriel remained silent.
"We need our people here" Lord Celeborn said flatly
"We have many soldiers!" Haldir stated, Celeborn looked at him angrily
"And what will we do if the Uruk-Hai attack Lothlorien and all our soldiers are defending Dunlorien?" Lord Celeborn defended, he knew he would win
"Sarumon wouldn't dare attack the Woods of Lorien" Galadriel spoke suddenly
He took her hand in his "My Lady, we do not know here the Uruk-Hai will attack next, we need our soldiers here"
Haldir sensed that the fact the Uruk-Hai might attack Lothlorien wasn't the reason he was refusing to aid Dunlorien, something else was there, something else was stopping Lord Celeborn from giving aid to Dunlorien.
Haldir took a deep breath "Sir, what about my men? There are about 20 of them; they will be willing to fight for Dunlorien"
Lord Celeborn turned towards Haldir, anger in his eyes "Do you not hear me Haldir!!!" he bellowed "Our Soldiers stay here! We need them for our protection! Dunlorien can protect themselves!" he gasped, than sat back in chair, calming himself.
Haldir looked down, why was Lord Celeborn doing this? Énya's people were dying.and he could do anything to help
Haldir nodded and bowed his head, Lady Galadriel looked away. Her eyes looked guilty.
Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli sat eating around a white round table in the lovely forest of Lothlorien
"This place is beautiful" Gimli stated in awe
"Haldir!" Legolas chimed, interrupting Gimli's daydream, who looked at Legolas angrily
Haldir had a depressed look upon him. Legolas and Aragorn motioned for him to sit. "What is troubling you Haldir?" Aragorn questioned
"An injured Elven woman came to Lothlorien 3 nights ago." he said softly
"You have.feelings for this woman?" Aragorn questioned
Did he? No, that was not the case. He shook his head "Her City is under attack.and Lord Celeborn will not send Soldiers to its aid."
"Why not?" Legolas asked, raising an eyebrow, it was not like Lord Celeborn to refuse to aid a city in need.
"He says he needs his soldiers incase the Uruk-Hai attack Lothlorien." he said softly, still in thought about Énya, he had to help her.somehow
"What about your men? You are captain of the Northern fleet of Lorien. Will your men not aid you?"
"Celeborn will not allow it"
Legolas and Aragorn gasped in unison "That is very unlike Celeborn" Legolas stated
Haldir nodded in agreement "Yes, I fear there is something else behind his refusal. I fear if he finally sends Soldiers to Dunlorien.it will be too late"
Aragorn nodded "We will go" he looked to Legolas "Bring your men Haldir, 20 Elven soldiers, Legolas, Myself and Gimli, we are not large. But we will aid" Legolas nodded in agreement, Gimli did not.
"No Aragorn! I have heard tell of Dunlorien.no Dwarf shall enter the Realm of Dunland, and live to tell tale, men as well, they are a the most enclosed and secretive of Elven kind, they raise their young to despise all who is not Elven!" Gimli sneered "I will no go to the lands of Dunland
"The City is under attack, and we have come to aid! I believe they will understand" Aragorn protested. Gimli sighed "I feel for her people Haldir." he sighed and looked down in guilt
"Fine, myself and Legolas will go" Aragorn shot Gimli a despised look, Gimli looked away
"I may never be aloud to enter Lothlorien again.if I go against the wishes of Lord Celeborn." He looked away
"You wish not to aid the city of Dunlorien" Aragorn raised an eyebrow
"No.lets go" Haldir said, not missing a beat
Aragorn thought for a moment "No, we rest. Gather our strength, I prey the battle may still be raging."
"Yes, as do I" Said Haldir "I prey her people are still.among the living"
Legolas nodded "We will leave at sunrise"
They all nodded, Haldir smiled slightly "Thank you my friends" they nodded and smiled back, Aragorn placed a hand on his shoulder. He nodded and walked off.
Haldir felt very confident, he was glad to help. He missed battle.but, would lord Celeborn let him come back to Lothlorien.after he went against his wishes.Haldir thought.what was he going to do.if he couldn't return home.
He passed Galadriel's Mirror on his way to visit Énya, than he had to talk to his men. He gazed slowly into it, the mirror was empty. A voice behind him spoke, its voice as light as a song.
"You will aid the City of Dunlorien?"
Haldir spun around, Lady Galadriel
He bowed "My Lady"
She walked passed him. Not once glancing over in his direction. She lifted the thin silver vile and slowly eased it over the water in the mirror, filling it
"A conflict long ago." she said softly, her eyes lifted to meet his gaze
"A conflict? What kind of conflict?" Haldir questioned eagerly
"Were two kings fought for the alliance of the two wood." she placed the vile onto the small stone ledge, and motioned Haldir to look into the mirror
He cautiously stepped forward
~In the Mirror~
Two elven men stood, He knew one was Lord Celeborn, but who was the other?
"There is an alliance of Men and Elves, to fight for the freedom of Middle Earth" Lord Celeborn "I beg you Lord Isilmer, join that alliance, send your people to fight for middle earth!"
Lord Isilmer spoke coolly "Lord Sauron has never bothered my people.I have no need to send them to their doom"
Lord Celeborn protested "Your people are the most excellent Archers in all Elven country! Why not use that to aid us in the fight for freedom of ALL middle Earth!?"
Lord Isilmer shook his head "No.my people are safe here, let the Orcs of Sauron attack here! We will defeat them!" he shouted confidently
Lord Celeborn huffed "Fine Lord Isilmer, you wish to have no alliance with us, than when you shall be under siege! Expect no aid from Lothlorien!" he sneered, spun on his heal and walked out
~Back to Present~
Haldir looked up, he understood, but he couldn't just let those people.die, He looked up at Lady Galadriel
She nodded solemnly "Take your men, fight for Dunlorien" she said softly, she opened Haldir's hand "Take this, let it aid those in need of a healer" she placed a oval blue gem in his hand, he looked up at her, confused "Wear it with you" she smiled, she didn't explain what it did, she simply, walked away.
Haldir held it tight; he placed it around his neck with the string attached, but I am no healer, he thought to himself, why was I in need of this gem? He sighed and continued walking towards Énya's room
A/N: tada! kind of.odd I know....=D anyway, R&R please =D
