Chapter Six
8 days and 8 nights passed quickly. Haldir had gone to visit Énya who hasn't left her room, and each day her eyes are darker and darker. She was becoming paler and paler, her expression dull and blank. She would sometimes stare blankly out the window, gazing mournfully at the starry sky.
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli had left returned 3 nights passed after another search for Merry and Pippin. No Luck.
Just a little ways beyond Galadriel's mirror sat the 4 friends, deep in discussion. Still worried about their Halfling Kin, but determined to keep their spirits bright
Lately Haldir had not smiled as much as he was before. His expression was filled with worry; bags under his eyes began to form. His eyes looked heavy, as if he had seen too much. Too many late nights, too much toil.
"What troubles you my friend?" Legolas asked kindly
"Énya.she stays in her room all of the day" he answered sadly
Aragorn smile with reassurance "We'll.I say we take Énya to the river of Stridén" (Fiction remember? =))
"Yes, what a wonderful river it is.take her mind of her troubles and worries" Legolas nodded in agreement
"And we can pack lunch!" Gimli beamed
They laughed. Gimli shrugged "There's no harm in being prepared, tis a four hour ride on horseback" he looked annoyed, than smile happily "I believe Lady Énya would love it"
Haldir nodded "Thank you dear friends, you always know how to make an old elf smile" he said in gratitude
"Oh come on now" Aragorn said with as smile, than added "You're not old"
Haldir smiled, Aragorn smiled back, Legolas laughed and shook his head.

After convincing Énya to join them to the river of Stridén, the headed off towards the Northern woods of Lorien.
After stopping shortly to stretch their legs, the mounted and finished they're long journey.
They road under a large tree with the limbs and leaves hanging over, hiding the entrance from unknowing travelers.
Haldir heard Énya gasp. Her eyes lit up and glittered. It was magnificent; tree's as tall as Sauron's Tower itself stood beaming all around them, their limbs hung down almost to the ground to give shelter and shade.
The tree's covered the entire grove, except for on small spot at the very top where the sun shown through, lighting up the whole river with grace.
In the center was a pool, with Lilly pads and water so clear you could see the bottom, and grass so green it hurt the eyes at sight. The Pool was attached to a small river that was attached to a waterfall at least 70 feet in height. The clear water shimmered as it poured down into the river and made its way into the pool.
Aragorn and Legolas dismounted and found a nice spot to sit. Gimli followed, grabbing a sac and opening it to make lunch
Haldir dismounted and made his way over to a still mounted Énya who started eyes wide at the water fall.
He smiled and reached out his hand to aid her
Usually she would have refused; a man would never offer another man aid to dismount their horse. But Énya didn't, she smiled and expected, gripping Haldir's sturdy hand as she hopped down
Haldir and Énya sat next to Aragorn and Legolas. They smiled "beautiful isn't it?" a voice asked
Énya turned to see Legolas; Haldir had told her his name. He had beautiful eyes. She smiled
"Yes, very" she agreed with a nod
"So Aragorn, when will you and Legolas be leaving Lorien?" Haldir asked solemnly.
Énya looked at Haldir curiously, where were they going?
"I am unsure; we are still searching for Pippin and Merry"
"Who are Pippin and Merry?" Énya questioned
"Our Halfling kin, good friends of ours, they were captured by Uruk-Hair, King Celeborn sent out a rider to go to Rivendell and search for any Uruk- Hair, but he has not returned yet"
Énya frowned "That's to bad" she smiled reassuringly "May you find them" she looked up into the tall trees "I have never been out of the woods of Dunlorien or Lothlorien"
"Its not that exciting" Aragorn said sadly "To much death, these woods are save" he smiled
"I wish to come"
They all turned to see Énya
She looked steadily and took a breath "When you leave Lothlorien, I wish to come with you.I wish to have adventures, to see the world"
"You are just a child!" Aragorn stated
"You see my as a child Aragorn? Am I not older than you?" she fought back
Aragorn paused "I simply meant"
She cut him off "Aragorn!" she gasped "And I thought more of you! You simply cast me as a sharé (child) because I am female!"
He paused, than smiled "Énya, many apologies, you are a very strong willed elven female"
She smile half heartedly and calmed back down, she turned to see Haldir smiling at her
"Mani! (What!)" she demanded in elvish, when she was angry or sad, she tended to confuse her languages
She glared at him "you mock me Haldir!"
He shook his head "No, no Énya, I merely smiled because you are the most stubborn female I have ever known"
Legolas and Aragorn laughed briefly
"That's because most elven females are quiet and bossed around, obeying the beck and call of every Elven male!"
Haldir nodded in agreement, but didn't say anything. His eyes were bright blue, his smile made Énya want to, hug him, or something; he could get away with anything with that smile. She found herself staring at him. She blushed and looked quickly forward
"You do not think I am strong enough to come with you on your travels?" she asked to no one unparticular
Aragorn shook his head "no, but you would need some training, if you wish to come" she smiled at his reply and he smiled back
"You're letting her come" Legolas turned angrily to Aragorn
"Why not, she wants to, we could use more hands in the search for out kin"
Legolas' eyes grew cold "She isn't ready Aragorn" he said softly
"I am not deaf Legolas!" she snarled
He blushed and turned to her "I am aware of that Énya" he said blankly
"You think I need training!" she held out her hands and stood up "train me Aragorn, Legolas, Haldir!" she looked around
Gimli laughed
Aragorn stood up "You have a sword"
She nodded and followed him to an open patch of grass. She brought out her sword, following Aragorn, she stood
Aragorn stood with his arms out "Now, lady Énya, come at me"
She smiled and stepped forward in a swift movement, bringing her sword down, he blocked. Up, down, left, bottom left, she brought her hand back and trusted forward. Aragorn leaped back, just missing the tip of the blade. He smiled and came forward, she blocked twice and placed her sword at his neck, he caught it and she was stuck. He flew the sword out of her hands. They tried three more times and each time, whenever she tried that move. She lost
"I see that is your weakness" he smiled "But you are a very strong swordsman" he bowed his head, she smiled "as are you Aragorn"
Haldir looked down sadly, he much wanted Énya to stay with him in Lothlorien, at least for a little while, maybe he should go with them.travel through Middle Earth, and he felt so happy when Énya was with him. She was so alive and vibrant, like a little girl, thought her wit told you otherwise. She smiled at Haldir for the first time since the returned from Dunlorien. He smiled back
"Come Haldir" Aragorn said as he motioned at him "Teach Énya with your bow"
"I know how to use a bow!" she protested, Aragorn smiled "But now, you will learn the skills of a Marchwarden"
She sheathed her sword and brought out her bow, not as curved at Legolas' but longer.
He brought out his bow and placed an arrow in it "see that patch of ground?" he pointed, she nodded "Hit that" he demanded, but nicely
He released, and it hit the grass, with great speed, and hit just a few centimeters off the center
She concentrated, squinted "You take to long, in battle, you must be quick" Haldir commented
She rolled her eyes "yes Haldir"
She released, hit the target dead on, she smile and turned to Haldir, "see what can happen if you take your time?" she asked somewhat childishly
"Ile naa curucuar" (you are a skillful bowman) Haldir smiled. She smiled back
"But in the heat of battle, when you are face to face with the enemy, you must be quicker; your life may depend on it"
She smile "you sound like my father"
He blushed. She smiled and sat back down. Haldir picked some purple Pylal fruit and handed it around.
After training a few more times, the party grew tired and decided to head back to Lothlorien. They mounted and set off.
