~~POV-LIRAWEN OF EARDOR~~
I walked towards the northern borders angrily. As I began to jog, a deep voice yelled my name. "Princess Lirawen!"
I turned, Lord Celeborn (kel-i-born for those of you w/o the silmarillion) was standing a few paced behind me. "Yes Lord?" I bowed my head respectively.
"You are heading to the Northern borders, correct?"
"Uma." I did not look up. He was far more royal than I, and it was so gracious of him to allow me room and board.
"My lovely wife requests Reyna's presence. Please ask her to report to Galadriel."
I bowed lightly, "Of course Lord Celeborn." He laid a hand on my head and I noticed he had approached me.
"Thank you Princess." I smiled shyly and took off. I ran at a full sprint and quickly reached the sentry tower.
~~
I glared up at Reyna, "Lord Celeborn asked me to alert you of the fact that Lady Galadriel desires your presence." Reyna nodded and leaped off the tower. She took off at a dash. I turned to Haldir, "I will watch over the northern border with you in her absence."
He nodded, "Diola lle (thank you)." His tone was still very cold. I sighed and sat down. My bow rested lazily on the floor of the tower. Haldir growled, "Pick it up and do not get so comfortable. I hear footsteps in the distance."
I perked my ears up, and sure enough I could hear the pounding of about ten or fifteen pairs of feet. Panic wormed its way into my heart. I picked up my bow and checked my sheath for my dagger. I turned to Haldir, "Thank you for the warning. Let us finish the beasts off." Haldir nodded and we both leaped off the tower. I ran out into the field and crouched down. The high grass in the meadow concealed my form in the dark. Haldir was hidden in the nearby foliage. I shot three down as soon as they came into view. I saw arrows fly overhead and three more Uruk-hai fell. Haldir ran from the foliage and shot two more. I remained hidden and shot another. I stood and drew my dagger. Running into the thick of their group, I stabbed several in the throat. I heard Haldir's war cry as he attacked them also. The beasts and their dead surrounded me. I had slashed through several of them when I heard Haldir cry out in distress. He was surrounded by three of them. I cut down the two in my way and now stood on the other side of the Uruk-hai. He sliced through two and was withdrawing his elven blade from the throat of one of them as the remaining beast raised its scimitar. I screamed, "Haldir!" I closed my eyes and drew by bow. With my eyes still closed, I let my last arrow fly. Refusing to move many minutes later, my body was numb with nervousness. I finally opened my eyes to see Haldir smiling as he stood.
"Diola lle. Lle vara amin (thank you. You protected me)."
I smiled, "Mani naa mellonor ten' (what are friends for)?"
A shy smile crept over the March Warden's lips. "Uma, lye naa mellonor (Yes, we are friends)."
Slight jealousy snaked its way into my heart, though I knew not why. "Let us return, Reyna shall be fretting."
Relaxed laughter spilled from his deep voice, "Of course she will. Let us go home." We walked together, side by side, back into the woods. Reyna awaited us at the border.
She leaped down from the tower and ran to us. She embraced me and then she hugged Haldir tightly. "You both had me worried, I should have never left my post."
Haldir shook his head, "The Lady requested you, did she not?"
Reyna nodded reluctantly, "I suppose. I missed the fight though." I smiled.
Suddenly I was aware of the perspiration dripping down my forehead and the moisture of my under clothing. I blushed, "Reyna, shall we bathe now? The sun is awakening quickly."
Haldir nodded, "You two deserve the bath first. I will go clear the other posts and wake the morning troops."
I smiled brightly at him, "Thank ever so much March Warden."
He nodded, "Of course, it was the least I could do Princess."
Reyna and I set off to bathe. It was a splendid bath and Reyna slept afterward. My restless heart would not allow me forty winks so I walked down to the Nimrodel. Lying on the bank in my night clothing and listening to the rippling water was more soothing than any rest ever could be. I climbed into one of the trees and laid my head back. I sighed, "Ta naa saivanima sinome(it is very beautiful here)."
A soft sigh escaped my lips before I was quickly alerted to another's presence by a voice. "Uma, ta naa (yes, it is). Amin mela sina yamen' (I love this place)." I turned; I was surprised to see a very familiar face before me.
"Vendui' (greetings)."
He sat next to me in the tree. "Ar lle (and you)."
A shy smiled crossed my glistening lips. "Why are you not resting? You should be catching up on the sleep you never manage to get."
His deep laughter sent chills up my back. "It is you who should be resting. You fought hard today. I want to thank you for saving me even though I was so harsh to you."
"Please Lord Haldir. You are a valiant warrior with a kind heart. A boxed up heart lies deep within that stone expression. I cannot let you die until I have unveiled it."
A smirk crossed my face as two small fires lit up on his cheeks. "What is that supposed to mean?"
I shrugged curtly, "Just that I will not kill you yet."
His rich laughter rang out again. "That is comforting. Let us rest though. Come, I will walk you to your flet."
A shy blush rushed to my cheeks. "Alright." We walked in silence. When we reached my flet he turned to me.
"Quel du (good night)." He brushed my raven hair from my face. "Lle naa quelmellon (you are a good friend)."
"Ar lle. Quel du a' lle vithel (And you. Good night to you also)." I turned and opened my door. Slipping in, I closed the door softly behind me. Someone had been awaiting my return.
