Chapter 4
Old Friends
Everyone stood in the throne room with a happy and yet surprised look on their face. They were shocked, they knew it was possible that someone had survived; they were just surprised that it was Narawen. When they had heard the news that she had returned they could not believe it. It was like a dream come true, a fairy tale that had been forgotten only to turn up again at just the right time.
Narawen looked at everyone there recognizing every face that was before her. They had not changed much since it was only one hundred years that had passed, but to her it felt like it had been thousands of years since their last meeting.
After a few minutes some of the elves did notice that they were being rude and snapped out of their trance. After a few seconds Eowulia finally smiles and runs over to hug her cousin. "You're back!" she yelled as Narawen hugged her back.
"Didn't you think I would come back? Narawen asked sarcastically as she pulled away from her, smiling. Everyone else came over and hugged her. Eowulia's parents were there and her mother was almost in tears. Isal, Hethien, Eowuclya, and some other members of her family were also there. King Thranduil invited everyone to dinner, but they had to decline because they had other business to attend to.
Narawen was surprised they had declined an invitation from the king, but found out later that evening that while she was gone her family had become close friends of his. She did end up eating dinner with him and Legolas. After dinner they were to discuss some things about what she did while she was in the mountains and what would happen to her now that she was back. They had just finished dinner and were about to have their discussion when one of the king's guards ran into the room, breathless and bleeding in a few spots.
A/N: I'm sorry this chapter is so short and that it took so long. I have been working on another story and sort of neglected this one. I will have the next chapter up soon, hopefully by Friday at the latest. Thank you for the reviews!
