Then, Arway left all of it behind. She stood up leaving a pile of her doubts and musings. No longer was there time to search through the past, and carry on in the mind. If she did not act, she would not recall anything at any time, for death would steal her. Quickly, she made her way through the Hornburg. Soundlessly, she arrived at the highest chamber where Aragorn had locked himself inside. She patrolled these doors and in doing so sat in front of them. Not to leave the spot until Aragorn, himself, appeared through their entrance.

That was the exact spot that Gimli and Legolas found her. Nothing could they do or say to move her. Nor any food could they coax her to eat. She would not be swayed from the spot for anything.

Legolas looked down on the Elven-beauty. And beautiful and graceful and strong and stubborn she was. "Will nothing move you?" He questioned.

"Nothing but Aragorn himself."

Legolas looked again at her. She sat facing the doors. Her hair was six inches from the floor, the sides braided together to keep it out of her eyes. Under her shirt, you could see where her jewel hung just below her collarbones. At her feet lay her quiver, her knife, and her bow of the Galadrim. Yet, she had not changed. The age of youth had not yet left her. She still appeared to be an immature Elf, one but a few years shy of maturity. But it was the eyes that revealed her secret. And even when her whole body was grave as it was now, the eyes always showed the emotion greater. Like now, they were graver than the rest of her body. They were always the oldest and the liveliest part about her.

After surveying her, Legolas shook his head. He too wished to know what was happening behind the doors. But her would not take to meditating before them. Then he heard it; her voice inside his head, just as he had heard Galadriel's.

'A great struggle goes on behind these doors. Only one there to witness it. Great decisions are being made about all three of our lives, yet he does not know he is making them. Aragorn has finally accepted who he is. I wish to know what he has seen.'

Only then did he notice her lips had been moving. But he knew for sure that the words had not come from them. Gimli sat where he had been before unaware of what had just occurred. But yet, he was not sure if it had occurred.

"You did not imagine. Long it has been since it was practiced and I am not so strong in the works as she."

Legolas nodded his head, though she could not see him. He removed Gimli from his seat next to Arway. The two went to the opening of the corridor about 12 yards away. There they started a vigil on both the she-elf, and the doors.
~~~ Sorry about the short chapter but I promise but Saturday another will be up!
