Bulma Greenleaf: ,,Hi! I'm really sorry that you guys had to wait so long
for this chapter to be up, but here it is!"
To Kelly Neptunus: Well, you know that Legolas' Power is controlling water. And indeed, you're the only one who knows who revived Leggie. So: Ssssssshhhjjj!!! Don't tell anyone!
To Elanhin: Oh sorry for not answering your last review! I guess you submitted your review right after I finished chapter 10! Yes, Gandalf had to fall, I couldn't keep him in the story any longer. . .
To Huinesoron: Hehe! I thought this Power would be just fine for Merry. Don't you agree? But his Power does not only contain thunder. He can control the weather. Cool, eh?
To Mrs. Ekeena Greenleaf: Ah, sister-problems. I know everything about them (I have a younger sister). Well, I'm so glad you liked chapter 10! Thank you for reviewing!
To MoroTheWolfGod: Well, here's more! Thank you for reviewing!
To Im A Brandybuck: Ah, thank you for mentioning the thunder/lightning- thingey. I already corrected it, check chapter 10 as a proof! I'm so happy to hear you liked the chapter! Thnx for reviewing!
Ole 4 Clay: Ah, my mistake (the thunder/lightning-mistake). I already paid for my mistakes. Sorry for the short chapters, but I couldn't make it any longer, cuz I had no more inspiration. Thnx for reviewing!
To incurelf: Ah, you're the third who told me that lightning strikes a tree. So I paid dearly for my mistake already. I've corrected it, too. Well, here's the next chapter and I hope you like it!
To Andray: I'm sure he'll realise that Gandalf's death was not his fault. I don't want Legolas to die of grief! Here's the next chapter, I hope you'll keep reading!
To Oddwen: *gets freaked out by Oddwen's rolling eyes * Ehm. . . Here's the next chapter!
To Appin Took: Ah, I think you love it! That's good. Thank you!
To Lady Moon3: Oh no! I'm sure that someone says 'Power up!' I'll prove it to you! I'm going to tell you in which line in chapter 8 it is! Line 30, from under the disclaimer! Go and have a look! Well, thank you for reviewing!
To FRIENDOFLEGOLAS: Ah, thank you for the reviews! I'm glad you liked the story and I really hope you'll like this chapter too! Bye bye!

While the Fellowship walked through Lothlorien, Sam and Pippin couldn't stop talking about how cool Merry's Power was. Merry himself walked among them smiling.
,,The way the lightning struck that tree! It was amazing!" Sam told the others.
Pippin added: ,,And you should have seen the look on Gimli's face! It was hilari-"
Gimli interrupted him hastily. ,,Be quiet young Hobbit. These woods are very dangerous. I've heard stories about a powerful Elf-witch living in these woods. They say that if you look her in the eyes, you'll fall under her spell. But don't worry. You don't have to fear anything if you stay very close to me."
Frodo looked around. There was nothing special to see. He muttered under his breath 'power up' and his eyes turned red. When Frodo looked around again, some movements in the trees caught his attention. Elves were moving through the trees, watching the Fellowship carefully.
Suddenly, the Ringbearer heard a woman's voice: ,,Frodo. . ." Frodo looked round, but couldn't see anybody who could have possibly said that.
,,Frodo. . . Power down. . ." The voice said. And to his surprise, his eyes turned back to normal and he couldn't see the Elves in the trees anymore. With a frown on his face, Frodo stared at the trees. Was this the work of the Elf-witch Gimli told them about? Beside him, he could hear Gimli talking.
"Because I - I have the eyes of a hawk and ears of a fox. And I-"
Whatever Gimli wanted to say next, the Hobbits would never know. Because the next moment, the Fellowship was surrounded by ten Elves at least, all aiming their bows at them.
Gimli's eyes widened in shock, and yelled to Aragorn: ,,Aragorn! These woods are perilous! We should turn back!"
One of the Lothlorien-Elves, who seemed to be the leader, shook his head and said:
,,No one leaves these woods after entering them." He stared at Gimli for a while, then looked at Frodo.
,,Come. The Lady has been expecting you."
~ * ~
While walking behind the leader of the Lothlorien-Elves, apparantly called Haldir, the Fellowship was a curiousity for the other Elves living in the Golden Woods. The Hobbits didn't really mind being stared at, and waved happily to the Elves. But Legolas, Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli were actually quite embarressed, staying close to Haldir and staring at their feet.
Then they reached the Lady of the Woods and her husband. Most of them gasped as they saw her. She had long, beautiful, golden hair and weared a long white dress. She had very blue eyes, which looked like she could read your mind with a single look.
Even before she spoke, Frodo knew that this was the woman who had 'powered him down'.
Haldir bowed towards the Lady, turned around to the Fellowship, and said:
,,Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn." Then he stepped aside in the shadow of the trees.
The Fellowship couldn't help staring at the pair.
Then, Lord Celeborn spoke. ,,Eight that are here, yet nine there set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him."
Galadriel looked at the Fellowship and her eyes rested on Aragorn.
,,He has fallen in the shadow. . ." She slowly spoke.
The Lady's eyes let Aragorn go and started looking at the rest of the Fellowship.
,,The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail to the ruin of all." Her gaze rested on Boromir for a while, who seemed quite uncomfortable with that. He didn't look back at her.
,,Yet hope remains while the Company is true." She looked at the loyal Sam now, who had not succeeded to stop staring at the Lady yet, with his mouth half open. Lady Galadriel smiled at him and continued her speech.
,,I see that you're all tired from your journey so far, the loss of a great friend, and of course, the use of your Pearls of Victory. Yes, I am fully aware of the fact that you all have one, and I must warn you. There is another Pearl in Middle-Earth. Be careful."
The Fellowship looked alarmed, but she continued talking as if she never gave that warning.
,,Tonight, you will rest safely here in Lothlorien. Haldir will take you to your places."
Haldir stepped forwards again. ,,Follow me, please."
