Marilla have been watching all through his ordeal of course . She was sitting contently up on a high branch of a Pine tree , watching in amusement as he stumbled with his plain mistakes . He was young though , she thought every time she wanted to laugh at the way he grab his swords with discomfort or the way he slashed at the enemy like a blind man . She tried to give him at least some credit for his courageous attempt to run while being chased by ten hungry -driven orcs .
Marilla knew his ancestor - Isildur . Knew him well enough to know his useless struggle with the corruption of his heart was the biggest mistake plainly made in that age . Men are easily corrupted and he was no different . Marrilla would have shoved him inside the pit of Mt Doom if she would have given the chance to accompany him there . But Lord Elrond was the one available and the most trusted . He failed , of course , knowing his weakness for the hope of men's future .
When she received the news about Elrond's failure , she laughed in bitter disappointment . She was protecting him in the first line on horseback . The battle waged for a long time Long enough for her to suffer few blows and long enough for her to kill numerous number of Sauron's troops .
But when it was the new tide of the war , when she could feel the powerful tingling of victory her hope were dashed to the ground when Sauron arrived in the scene . She still remembered how she felt in that moment when he entered like a black shadow from hell . It was few millennia ago but she knew every mix of emotion when she saw that expansive figure . His armour were made for hell , it seems . Impenetrable , unbreakable . The only colour in that black void was the golden ring he wore in one of his scaled armored finger .
She tried to attack with all her might , but the ring was too powerful . She was badly injured and it was the only time in her life where she felt she was near death . Sauron had killed Isildur's father . In blind rage and pain Isildur threw himself upon Sauron but only broke his sword . To everybody's surprise , including Sauron's , Isildur managed to cut the ring off Sauron's finger with the shard of his broken sword . Marilla was sure that if anybody could see Sauron's face , it would be quite humorous as the dark lord shattered and dissipated like black mist into the heavy clouded air .
Marilla was about to praise Isildur's bravery when she heard the news about his corruption along with the failing of Elrond in his duty . From that moment on , she never forgave Elrond for what his weakness had done to the world . But more of all , she had hated him for what it will do to her .
She was born into this world for one purpose and one purpose only . Her prophecy has intertwined with the prophecy of the ring like unbroken length of cord . Shortly before the twenty rings were forged she was born in Gray Haven . Torn apart from her family she was forced to take the ship to Middle Earth which seem barren and chaotic as one could describe hell . Her mission was to destroy the ring of power before it doom Middle Earth . The only chance of succeeding was ruined by Elrond whom they trusted to guide Isildur to the right path but whom failed to force the right action from that man . Now she was still stuck on this land for almost twenty millennia or more . She had lost track of her age since it only brought sharp memory of the widening gap of chance in seeing her family again . Even long before she was born they had laid her destiny before her feet and wish only for her to walk it without falling or faltered steps . Such high expectation drain her after she was formally blessed by Lady Galadriel , King Gil-Galad and King Thranduil which had positioned her to the very highest ranking of the military hierarchy and gave her the title of the sole protector of Middle Earth and it's human , elf and dwarf occupant alike . She was blessed by numbers of imminent figure for her position but she always failed to see the importance or the purpose of it .

Nobody in Middle Earth now except few elves knew who she was . And she knew she had failed her mission and no ship will take her back to Gray Haven for it .
Marilla 's eye became clouded like the incoming storm in the sea . Her gaze lingered on the body laid beside the comforting fire . His ancestor had caused much of the pain she was feeling for a long time and somehow she knew she will inflict him with the responsibility of what his great-great-great-great ... grandfather did several millennia ago . She feel pity for the lad whom had not reach any level of body and strength she was expecting him to have to become the future King of Gondor .
