Chapter 23- Brennil

Stupid stairs, I thought as we slowly ascended to Galadriel's realm.  I'd never been one of those elves who loved stairs.  Finally, they ended.

"Yallume (T- At last!)!" cried Arwen.  I guess she wasn't a stair elf either.  I glared at Legolas, who smiled smugly at me.  He wasn't even tired!

"Grr…" I growled.

"You are welcomed to the house of the Lady of the Golden Woods, Galadriel."

I turned my eyes up as two shining figures approached.  Besides me, the rest of the Fellowship was staring.

"Welcome to Lothlorien.  But nine were set out from Rivendell.  There are eleven here.  Where is Gandalf the Grey?  For I much wish to speak to him (A/N- I'm trying to use the words in the movie.  Unfortunately, I don't own the movie and can't look on the internet cuz we have dial-up and 1 phone line (Which sucks like hell, if I might add), so sry if it's wrong!!!)," said Celeborn.

"Gandalf has fallen into darkness," spoke Galadriel, studying each of us in turn.  Me she merely nodded to, a promise of a later conversation.  Surprisingly, she studied Boromir longest.  Continuing, she said, "The quest stands on the edge of a knife.  Stray but a little, and it will fail.  Go now and rest, for you are weary with sorrow."  With that, she beckoned me forward.

"Bela ed' templa (Spell- Telekinesis)," she murmered.

"Bela ed' templa," I repeated.

What brings you here, granddaughter? mind-thought Galadriel.

I wished to be part of the Fellowship, I responded as we walked out of the audience platform.

Why?

Er…

Don't evade the question Nilseregwen.

I'm not!

Yes you are.

No I'm not!

Yes you are.

No I'm not!

You are really evading the question now.  Why?

I didn't want to be left behind.  I've listened everywhere that's possible and learned whatever I can.

And why should I let you continue on?

Grandmother!  You have to!

Why?

Because…

Why?

I'm a help to them.  Arwen and I are both mages, and I'm a warrior too!

Very well.  You may continue Nilseregwen.

Thank you!  Thank you Galadriel!

You are welcome, Nilseregwen.

Can you call me Sere?

Why ever so?

It's just easier.

I'll think about it Nilseregwen.  Don't you want to go rest?

Very well.  I'll talk to you later, I said, walking down the stairs to my rooms.

Er…it's longer…I guess.  Kinda boring I know, but just hang on!  I'll write more later!!!

PS- I'm starting to write another story, so I may be slower.  I dunno.  We'll see…
