Nolwe Chapter 3
Athena sat back against the pillows, long ago had she discarded the tray of food to a bedside table. Many things flew to her at once. Why her? What about her life back in Wilton? Didn't the Valar think of how her disappearance in that dimension might affect the flow of time. 'Well there is no point trying to rest any more, I could never sleep knowing all this anyway' thought Athena to herself. Getting out of bed and standing up she remembered the arrow wound and she looked down expecting to see some sort of cut but all she could see was a pink dot that was slowly fading. 'Hmm elves must heal fast' she thought. For the first time since waking up she looked at her surroundings and was surprised to find that her room was rather richly furnished. The bed she had been lying on was made from wood and had flowing designs carved into it. The sheets appeared to be made from silk and the pillows from feathers. Across near the window she saw a dresser which had several glass bottles which held various cosmetics and perfumes, along with several items for hair care. Walking over to a what looked to be a closet she opened it to reveal several expensive looking dresses. Lightly touching one she realised that the had been hand sewn. Quickly letting go of the material she closed the door to the closet in fear that she would damage one of the garments. The chair by the window invited to her, so she came over and sat down in it, testing its comfort. Finding a comfortable position she once again tried to make sense of every thing that had been told to her. Time flew around her as she thought and before she realised it Alec and Phoebe along with Haldir were gathered in the entrance to her room. Gesturing to them that they should come in she sat up and said, "How was archery?"
"Lets just say that I have along way to go," replied Phoebe while ducking her head, a small blush forming on her cheeks.
Alec snorted, saying "Don't worry sister the next time you try maybe you will actually hit the target."
"Not all of us are natural born warriors like you Alec," Phoebe countered in a huff,
"Uuma delaDon't worry With practice you shall become better Lady Phoebe," said Haldir. Turning to regard Athena since he knew some of what Galadriel had said, he spoke, "And you Lady Athena, I welcome to Lothlorien. I know that you must be wary at the moment but rest your fears aside, the elves are kind people and I know that you will enjoy yourself here."
Athena did not know what to say, but said "Thankyou Haldir for both saving me from those creatures and also for reassuring me. Honestly I hope that I may have a few words to my cousins to see how they feel."
"I understand, please do so," Haldir replied, at the door though he turned and said with a smile, "Do not worry about me saving you from the orcs, the name of the foul creatures that I saved you from. It was an honour to save one, who in turn will help save Middle Earth." After finishing this he left the room leaving one very open mouthed Athena.
Before Athena could think of anything Alec spoke, "Can we stay here cousin? I mean we have nothing left in Wilton for us, except for a few friends and even then they would not notice us gone!"
Athena was surprised at Alec and said so, "Is that how you really feel Alec? How about you Phoebe? Tell me about Lothlorien, as you both would know more about it then me."
Phoebe and Alex looked at each other and silently sat down on Athena's bed. Phoebe thought about her answer before say, "From what I have seen I think that I could really enjoy myself here. The elves have been so polite and understanding about everything, and there is some much I would like to learn about here." Alec picked up where she left off, "Indeed I agree with Phoebe, Lothlorien is beautiful in away that it could never fade. The elves especially Lady Galadriel, Lord Celeborn and Haldir have been very helpful. I would like to stay."
Athena wondered if Galadriel had mentioned to Alec and Phoebe about the dream that she was sent from Manwe. So she asked them "Has the Lady Galadriel spoke to as to why you came to Middle Earth?"
Phoebe and Alec again looked at each other as if having a silent conversation before Alec replied, "Yes she has told us a little. We know that we are half-elven and that we will help this world, but on our first night after telling us what she did, we both had dreams where we were told different things. I was told that I would become strong in the sword and arrow, because in years to come I would be helping the race of men." Phoebe continued saying, "In my dream I was told that I would be able to see visions of the future which although may not be set will help in this great battle."
"So you want to stay even though you face great challenges and could die?" questioned Athena, thinking of what Alec's role in all this was.
"As Alec said we did not really have anything left in our other world which was of great value to us, so we have talked and decided to see what Middle Earth has to offer. Please will you not at least consider the idea Athena?" pleaded Phoebe to her cousin, "I miss my parents so much I don't think I could put it into words but at least here I can try and escape some of the pain and at least here I seem to have a purpose." Alec came over to hug his sister, tears starting to fall down her face.
Athena seeing this thought over what they said and realised that if they had dreams the first night after Galadriel spoke to the then maybe she would. It wouldn't hurt to wait till tomorrow morning to make her decision, so coming over to them, hugging them both she said, "I will make my decision tomorrow until then why don't you show me some of Lothlorien?"
With a smile Phoebe got up and said, "Well first maybe you should change. There are some clothes in the closet for you. I will help you change. Alec you can go wait outside," and pushed Alec out the door before he could protest.
Athena frowned thinking of the expensive looking garments, "I don't think I should wear them. They look so expensive.." She started but Phoebe cut her off saying, "No Lady Galadriel said that they were for you to wear whenever you wished. She said amongst the elves you are considered a lady and must dress as one."
Without waiting for another word Phoebe walked over to the closest and opened it. After looking at the dresses available she chose a pale violet coloured one that had silver leaves stitched into the fabric. Handing it to her cousin she said, "This shall do just fine, and after the short tour we can go to dinner at the hall with all the other elves."
Athena by now was feeling so overwhelmed that she just obeyed whatever Phoebe said to her. Putting the dress on and some perfume which smelled like vanilla she went to brush her hair when she saw her ears for the first time. Running her index finger from the lobe to the tip she discovered how sensitive elven ears are. With a small shudder she picked up the brush and began to get all the knots out of her hair. She let it hang free, since she was not aware how elves wore their hair. Turning back to Phoebe now she said, "Okay I am ready. Lets get this show on the road."
So for the next 2 hours Phoebe and Alec showed her what they knew of Lothlorien. Athena was amazed by the sight she saw and was starting to understand why staying here could be such an experience. On the way to the dinning hall the ran into Haldir who seemed happy to see all three of them together.
"How are you this evening Lady Athena?" Haldir asked politely
"I am good, better than before. Please don't call me Lady Athena, just Athena." Athena said as a small blush graced her cheeks.
"As you wish.. Athena. May I escort you all to the dinning hall?" asked Haldir
"Yes you can, but please Haldir let us go now as I am hungry," replied Alec.
So taking them to the hall Haldir then departed from them after seeing some of his comrades signal to him. Athena was amazed. She knew elves we a race of beauty but it still shocked her seeing so many of them at one time. There must have been at leat 100 of them sitting and eating in there at that moment. Finding seats Alec and Phoebe began pointing out foods to Athena which they thought she might enjoy. Wine was offered to her from one of the maidens near to her and she gladly accepted. After taking a sip Athena realised that it was the best she had probably ever tasted. Soon the evening wore on and Athena wondered if she would see Galadriel before it's end. Curious she asked her cousins, "Shall we see the Lady Galadriel in the dinning hall this evening?"
Haldir who had been coming up to them to escort them back to their rooms said, "Nay you shall not Athena. She is a busy person and seldom finds the time to come here. You should find it fortunate that she was able to spend so long with you this afternoon. Come you must be tired, let me take you back to your rooms."
Athena was indeed tired and told Haldir that yeas she was ready to go. So all four got up and left for their rooms. Outside her room Athena asked, "You know where I am, but where is your room Alec and Phoebe?"
Alec quickly replied, "My room is on your right and Phoebe's on your left. Good night Athena, I hope to see you tomorrow." With that Alec left her. Phoebe soon followed as well as Haldir. Athena changing into a cotton gown which was laid out, she got into bed and fell asleep.
