When I awoke it was only briefly, for the darkness was so much better than the agony of trying to keep conscious. The second time I awoke there was a brilliant light. A fairy like creature, beautiful, stepped out of it next to me. She spoke and it was difficult for me to translate, "Im Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nin. Tolo dan na galad." I felt myself fading from the light she brought. Slipping into the shadow I felt myself being lifted onto a horse. A rider behind me and a small person in front of me. Probably Frodo I mused, he more than likely feels bad. Imagine, I'm dying and yet I can still be a wise ass. I fell back into unconsciousness.
The third time I woke up there was blinding white everywhere I looked. God, what is with these people and white? What's wrong with black? It isn't so.bright. "Where am I?" I ask sleepily. It's a struggle to open my eyes more than a small bit. An old, wise sounding voice comes from the side of...the bed I'm in? "You are in the house of Elrond. And it is 10 o'clock in the morning, on October the 24th if you want to know." October 24th? That means that I was out for like.a week. Wow. Turning I blinked my eyes into adjusting, "Gandalf?"
"Quite right dear girl. Frodo was so worried for you. Aragorn as well." Aragorn? Ahh, so that is Strider's real name. Aha. "How is Frodo?"
"Fine, fine. Just a little worried for you." I nodded and sat up hardly refraining from gasping at the pain that shot quickly through my body. Looking down I saw my shoulder was bandaged tightly. I fought the urge to growl under my breath. I hate puncture wounds! I also noticed the I was changed into a silky white gown. Turing to the old wizard I gave him a hopeful look, "So, can you tell me why I'm here? Where here is?"
He looked down, "Well, you are in the realm of Middle Earth. I don't know why you are here, or how you got here. There are many blanks in the story that need to be filled. But right now, you need to get dressed and see some people. Aragorn and Frodo have hardly left your side. I sent them away, and it would be best if you found them." I nodded and he stood. "You clothes, most peculiar, are being washed and mended. Arwen sent a bundle of dresses for you to chose from. I'm be going. Later you and I will speak with Lord Elrond." I nodded again and the kind wizard left my room. Sighing I gently removed myself from the comfy bed and looked around. Spotting a large wardrobe I opened it to reveal a huge array of gowns like the one I was wearing. Many in pale, bright colors. Frowning I chose the simplest one I could find. It was a shirt and skirt in a creamy ivory color. The top had long sheer sleeves and a straight neckline. The skirt was a simple A-line that fell to the floor. I put it on relishing the feel of the fabric sliding across my skin. Searching for shoes I found a pair that would go nicely.
I located a hair brush and quickly pulled it through my hair. Satisfied that I looked okay I left the room, looking meekly into the hallway. Stepping out I closed my door and walked through the halls until I cam outside. It was breathtaking here! After a few deep intakes I concluded that the air was magical here. Saying a quick blessing to the Valor I noticed Aragorn walked towards me. I smiled warmly, "Hello Aragorn." He blushed a tad, "I am glad to see that you are feeling better Brianna. It worried me greatly when you fell." I nodded, "Gandalf said that you were. I wanted to thank you for everything." He shrugged and I smiled, "Walk with me. I wish to see everything."
We walked amiably for a bit. I cast a sly look at him as we walked through expansive gardens, "So, you and Arwen huh?" He looked at me sharply hitting himself in the head with a bush. I laughed, "Just because I was dying doesn't mean that I didn't see the sparks or hear the love when you spoke with one another."
He appraised me before smiling, "You are very observant."
"I try." Before I could continue A body vaulted itself at me. Laughing I looked down to see Frodo and Pippin, "You scared us!" I laughed and knelt to hug them, "I'm sorry. I will do my best never to do it again. How have my favorite hobbits been?"
"The food here is excellent," commented Pippin. We all laughed as he seemed to be always thinking with his stomach. The four of us chatted a bit then I saw Gandalf heading for me. "Brianna, Lord Elrond and I would like to speak with you now please." I nodded and bid the others goodbye until dinner.
When I was seated around a desk with Gandalf and Lord Elrond he spoke, "Brianna, we need you to tell us everything that has happened to you thus far in Middle Earth and how you came to be here." So I did. When I finished I sat back and looked at their faces. "Um, I know that I should probably not ask this, but Frodo. He carries great evil. I don't know what it is, but there is a presence I feel around him that exudes such extraordinary evil. Not him, it would never be him, but he carries something. What is it?" And I learned of the ring of power. "There will be a council just before dinner tonight. Representatives of the races have arrived. I would like to send a party with the ring to Mount Doom to destroy it."
I sat up straighter, "I want to go. I could never carry the ring, with me it would have to great a power, but I would like to accompany whomever does, protect them, keep them company. No one should do this alone and I believe that this is why I came. To help. I can do a great deal of good I think." The two looked at each other before Elrond spoke again, "If things go as I would like it would be most welcome for you to join the party. I think you should attend the meeting tonight. There we will decide what to do." I nodded and rose. Elrond stopped me just before I left, "And Lady Brianna."
"Yes?"
"The meeting will convene in the courtyard in ten minutes. Dinner will be formal tonight. Arwen will come to your room after the meeting and assist you in getting ready and packing should the need arise." I nodded and left the room.
