Author's Note/Disclaimer: Hi, I'm back! This is a new fic, but you will
hear from Melian and Halbarad from the last one (Melian's Decision). Once
again, I'm sorry, I've changed some things from the book. The plot is
mine, and so is Lotewen. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW! Flames will be laughed
at! Enjoy! Oh, and this has been changed a little! One last thing about
story summary - the 20 yrs thing - I had questions about that previously,
and that will be addressed in the 2nd or 3rd chapter!
Obstacles to Overcome
PROLOGUE
Quickly looking for the source of the crying, the Gondorian man and woman were astounded. It seemed the cry of a babe, but what would a child be doing at the edge of the Wild Man's realm?
Coming to a small clearing, they stopped. There was, as clear as day, a richly woven basket with a babe wrapped in blankets. Walking closer, the young couple noticed something: the infant had pointed ears.
"An Elf-babe," breathed the woman.
She began to move forward, but her husband stopped her. "We cannot interfere with the Immortal!"
"But we cannot leave her to the Wild Men! Ghan-Buri-Ghan has no great love for the Elves; he would kill her or make her a slave! I cannot allow that Lanion!"
Lanion looked into his wife's eyes, and saw the resolution in them. With a sigh, he consented. "We will care for her until we can return her to her own people. Do you understand Ronwen?"
She nodded as she bent and picked up the child. Immediately, the infant ceased her crying. Noticing a chain around the infant's neck, she glanced at the pendant. It was a golden flower with a single word engraved: Lotewen.
"The flower is an Elanor blossom! The babe is from the golden woods of Lothlorien!" Lanion exclaimed in awe.
Okay, I know this was REALLY short, but it IS a prologue. Anyway, whaddaya think? Review, por favor (Spanish for please ()! Oh and by the way, on my other stories I have only got 1-3 reviews, and if that continues, I may cry and have to desert my stories - PLEASE don't make me do that! Luckily, I have 'hit count', but I still don't know what you wonderful people actually think of the story!
