A/n as always a big thank you to my one and only fan, you rock!
I don't know if I have mentioned this but this is dedicated to my little
sister, she is mills and boons crazy, and used to steal my mums, it what
drove me to write a Legomance. Don't worry this isn't like a mills and
boons but it kept her away from them . . .
Well please r/r you will gain a lifelong rambler/reviewer in return (
Sirthfiniel paced the floor of her chamber. She had never had patience despite being told by her sister on more than one occasion that it was "a virtue that all Women should possess." Sirthfiniel did not understand exactly were patience got you, in her opinion little information. Sirthfiniel wished her parents would hurry and make their verdict known; every minute they took to make their decision was another minute that could have been spent planning or packing. Sirthfiniel was near walking in to the room when the door swung open. Her father walked out he had a serious expression on his face but a smile played across his lips.
"You see Sirthfiniel it would seem that you mother . . . "Sirthfiniel already knew the answer her father was not trying hard to conceal the truth but he could not help jesting. "To stay till you next birthday!" Sirthfiniel was near jumping on her father but tried to keep her excitement under control. One week. One week and she should embark upon her own adventure.

"The news makes my heart heavy, surely they should have been spotted?" Aragorn wore a worried expression, Eldarion and the rest of the party were due home in 1 day and the scouts had not spotted them. He had heard no news for a week. "They should have." The young man that stood beside him replied. His tone was quiet almost as if he knew more than he was conveying. Aragorn looked at him for a moment realising this but soon went back to his own thoughts. "Any news is to be reported to me immediately . . . no matter how trivial it should seem." "Yes your highness." The young man stood for a moment uncertainly before turning and leaving the room. Aragorn shook is head, all he had was limited information and half guesses, but he must tell his wife his conclusion

Sirthfiniel felt her stomach lurch; she could not rid herself of the feeling of foreboding. She had sensed that something had been wrong and wished to know what it was, but her questions remained unanswered and preparation for her departure went on. He tried to rid her self of the thought, as she stood ready to enter into the feast in her honour . . . The sound of laughter echoed round the hall, the whole room seemed to be engrossed in conversation, Sirthfiniel sat alone on the edge of it all. They had just finished the meal, a likes of which Sirthfiniel had never eaten before it seemed the cooks were worried she should not eat whilst she was away and were trying to make sure she was well fed before leaving. Sirthfiniel was getting ready to leave and retire to her chamber, when she felt a light hand upon her shoulder. Sirthfiniel spun around, and much to her surprise saw her mother. "My child, you have grown so fast." She said in an almost sad tone, "You are a child no more."
Sirthfiniel smiled in a reassuring way at her mother but it did not ease the look of sadness upon her face. "I must speak with you." She said quietly, there was a sense of urgency in her mothers' face that told her that it should not wait till the morning. She followed her mother into a small room that was situated near the dining hall. Sirthfiniel sat upon a chair and looked at her mother.
"I have one last gift for you." She said slowly. "It comes from Galadriel."
Sirthfiniel could not contain her confusion, Galadriel had left for the west some time ago. How could she send her a gift? Arwen noticing this continued. "It was given to me long ago, before I had children. It was to be given to my daughter, she told me I would know which one. Galadriel was wise, yet she seemed to shroud everything in mystery, hide her wisdom behind riddles. This is no different. First I shall give you her words." Sirthfiniel was riveted to the spot, she could not think of anything to say (a rare occurrence) and she could barely move. Arwen began,
"Hail to the child of adventure, with you my wishes dwell
Hail to the child of spirit, from you may it never dispel
May luck go ever with you, may you endure
May hardships pass by you, may you heart be sure
But remember this always, hold this dear
With the jewel you carry, may you hear
Beware of the heart betroth to the sea
Rid yourself of that love, it must roam free
With this Arwen took out a pendent, it was of a bluestone that was obviously elven, it hung upon a silver chain. She gave it to Sirthfiniel." Tis an unusually long message, but this necklace is your reminder. I am told that one day you will understand why." Sirthfiniel took the pendent and put it round her neck.
"It is beautiful." She said.
"My child, I shall miss you dearly." Arwen said.
"I shall only be gone for a few months."
"I know my child. It will seem much longer. Stay safe." With his she wrapped her arms round her daughter, it was a long time before she let go.
One day and a thousand goodbyes later, Sirthfiniel was sat upon Shadowfax on her way out of the kingdom. She thought they should never let her leave! Had such a fuss been made over her brother? If so how did he stand it? I t almost made you feel guilty, to ache for the first time to remain at home. But the feeling was gone now, replaced with excitement. Sirthfiniel could not wait to explore the beauty of Middle Earth
End of part 1
What, another a/n???:(The unanswered questions regarding Eldarion will be answered later on as will why Aragorn still let her go ) If anyone has any problems regarding my portrayal of Arwen I apologise I tried not to make her like Movie Arwen, sorry if I failed. Sirthfiniel was surprised to see her mother as they did not spend a good deal of time together, Sirthfiniel as you may have gathered was always closer to male members of her family, and because Arwen was not a physical fighter and could not teach her how to wield a sword or climb a tree, they remained slightly detached, hope that cleared everything up.
