"Legolas, get them up." Ordered Aragorn.
"Give them a moment, for pity's sake!" Said Boromir.
"By nightfall these hills will be swarming with Orcs. We must reach the woods of Lothlórien. Also Tari's wound needs to be properly healed..
"Come Boromir, Legolas, Gimli: Get them up. On your feet, Sam. Frodo? Frodo!"
Frodo turns around, and tears stream down his face.
"Come!" Exclaimed Aragorn.
The Company now went down the road from the Gates. As eastward bend led them hard by the sward of Mirrormere, and there not far from the roadside stood a single column broken at the top.
The road now turned south, and went quickly downwards, running out from between the arms of dale. Some way below the mere they came a deep well of water, clear as crystal, form which a freshet fell over a stone lip, and ran glistening, and gurgling down a steep rock channel.
"Here is the spring from which the Sliverlode rises. Do not drink of it! It is icy cold." Said Gimli.
Aragorn began to talk about the Great River. (A/N: I'm going to sum it up so they enter Lothlórien this chapter.)
The Company began to run down a hill, which leaded in the woods. (A/N: Except Tari she really couldn't run b/c of her wound.)
"Lothlórien! Lothlórien! We have come to the eaves of the Golden Wood. Alas that it is winter!" Exclaimed Legolas.
Under the night the trees stood tall before them, arched over the road, and stream that ran suddenly beneath their spreading boughs. In the dim light of stars their stems were gray, and their quivering leaves a hint of gold.
"Lothlórien! Glad I am to hear the wind in the trees! We are still little then five leagues from the Gates, but we can go no further. Here let us hope that the virtue of the Elves will keep us tonight from the peril that comes behind." Said Aragorn.
"If Elves indeed still dwell here in the darkening world." Added Gimli.
"Lorien is not deserted. There is a secret power in these lands. It holds evil from entering. Although the folk here are deep into the woods, away from the northern border." Replied Tari.
"How would you know of this?" Asked Legolas.
"I have traveled here before. " Answered Tari.
"Indeed. We must fend for ourselves tonight. We will travel a short distance, until the trees are all about us. Then we will turn aside from the path, and seek a place to rest." Responded Aragorn.
The Company followed, but Boromir did not follow.
"Is there no other way?" Asked Boromir.
"I assure you Master Boromir, these woods are heavy guarded. No need to fret. " Answered Tari.
Boromir sighed," Then lead on, Aragorn! But it is perilous."
Aragorn sighed," Follow me!"
They had gone a little more than mile into the forest, when they came upon another stream.
"Follow me! The water is not deep. Let us wade across! On the further bank we can rest, and the sound of failing water may bring us sleep, and forgetfulness of grief." Said Legolas.
One by one they climbed across the river. With a little help from Legolas, Tari crossed.
When everyone crossed, they sat, rested, and ate a little food. Legolas told them of the tales of Lothlórien that the Elves of Mirkwood.
"Stay close young Hobbits. . They say there is a great sorceress that lives in these woods. An elf witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell."
*~Frodo~*
"..and were never seen again."
*~Your coming to us is as of the footsteps of doom. You bring great evil here, Ringbearer!~*
"Mr. Frodo?"
"Well, here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox." Said Gimli.
Suddenly an bow with a notched arrow, and it is two inches from Gimli's nose.
" Ooh!" Cried Gimli.
The same thing happens to everyone.
"The dwarf breaths so loud, we could have shot him in the dark." Commented Haldir.
"Grrrrrr...."
"Haldir o Lórien. Henion aníron, boe ammen i dulu lîn. Boe ammen veriad lîn." Said Aragorn. :: Haldir of Lórien. We desire your help.
We need your protection.::
"Ah! Al---."
Tari shook her head.
£¿ Haldir! Do not say a word! £¿
£¿ Why? £¿
£¿ Only Aragorn knows who I really am £¿
£¿ Then what should I call you by? £¿
£¿ Tari. £¿
"You were saying..?" Said Legolas.
"You have entered the realm of the Lady of the Wood. You cannot go back. Come, she is waiting." Said Haldir.

The company went along many paths and climbed many stairs, until they came to the high places, and saw before them amid a wide lawn a fountain shimmering. It was lit by sliver lamps that swung form the boughs of the trees, and it fell into a basin of sliver, from which a white streamed spilled. Upon the south side of the lawn there stood the mightiest of trees; its great smooth bole gleamed like gray silk, and at its foot three Elves were seated. They sprang up as the travelers approached, Frodo saw that they were tall, and clad in gray mail, and from their shoulders hung long white cloaks.
"Here dwell Celeborn, and Galadriel. It is a wish that you should ascend and speak with them." Said Haldir.
One of the Elf-wardens then blew a clear note on a small horn, and it was answered three times from far above.
"I will go first. Let Frodo come next, and with him Legolas, and Tari. The others may follow as they wish. It is a long climb for those who are not accustomed to such stairs, but you may rest upon the way. " Responded Haldir.
As he climbed, slowly up Frodo passed many flets; some on one side, some on another, and some set about the bole of the tree, so the ladder passed through them. At a great height above the ground he came to a wide talan, like a deck of a great ship. On it was built a great house, so large that it would served for a hall of Men upon the Earth.
He entered behind Haldir, and fund that he was in a chamber of oval shape, in the midst of which grew the trunk of the great mallorn, now tapering towards its crown, and yet making still a pillar of wide girth.
The chamber was filled with soft light; its walls were green and sliver and its roof of gold. Many elves were seated there. On two chairs beneath the bole of the tree, and canopied by a living bough there sat, side by side, Celeborn, and Galadriel. They stood up to greet their guest, after the manner of elves, even those who were accounted mighty kings. Very tall they were, and the Lady no less tall then the Lord; and they were grave, and beautiful. They were clad wholly in white; and the hair of the Lady was of a deep gold, and the hair of Lord Celeborn was of sliver long, and bright.
Frodo looked behind him, and saw Tari. Her looks were of similar to the Lady's. Tari's hair was of a gold, and her eyes were green, which seemed to have a light blue.
Haldir led Frodo before them, and Lord welcomed him. The Lady Galadriel said no word, but looked long upon his face. Soon the whole company had entered.
"Hello dear granddaughter! It is a wonderful to see you again." Greeted Galadriel.
Tari's eyes widen, but she quickly turned her gaze to ground.
"I am sorry. Milady, but I do not see Arwen." Said Legolas.
"Do you not know of Elrond's second daughter?" Asked Celeborn.
Legolas nodded.
"You would not recognize her if she was standing right before you?" Asked Galadriel.
"Tari is Alatariel." Said Celeborn.
"Is this true?" Asked Legolas.
Alatariel nodded.
"Maybe it would be better if you took this conversation outside?" Suggested Galadriel.
