Thx 2 all my faithful readers and reviewers!!!! You know who you are! You all ROCK! :-)
Where we left off- Kiley and the Fellowship were making for Lothlorien - "Come," he urged, "if we want to reach safety we must leave now and make for Lothlorien."
As they walked Kiley pondered about where she was. 'It's like I've been transported to another planet, but how did I get here,' she thought, then she stopped. 'The journal!' she exclaimed to herself, 'That has to be it it's the only thing thats changed.' Then a frightening thought crossed her mind, 'What if I can never get back home?' She missed her mom and sister more than ever before and she longed to be with them. She felt the tears start to well up as she thought of them.But then another thought crossed her mind.'Wait a minute,' she thought, 'I'm doing something incredible, something some people have not even dared to dream of.' She looked around again, 'but on the other hand, these people, what are they even?' She cleared her throat loud enough for all to hear.
"What is it?" Aragorn asked.
"I was just wondering," Kiley started not quite sure how to word what she wanted to ask, "um are you all human?" At that everyone laughed.
"I and Boromir are the only ones of the race of men if thats what you mean," Aragorn said, "as you know the short ones are Hobbits, except for Gimli who is a dwarf, and Legolas is an elf."
Kiley was dumbfounded at the least. "I-I don't believe this," she stuttered.
"What's not to believe?" Frodo asked slightly amused..
"Well, " she said as she took a deep breath, "it's just that where I come from Elves and Dwarves, and Hobbits don't exist."
"That's rather peculiar," Merry said, "everyone is only of the race of Men?"
"Yes," Kiley replied, "and this place you all are going, um, Lothlorien, who lives there?"
"Elves", Legolas said smiling.
Kiley beamed; she couldn't have been happier.
By the time they reached Lothlorien Kiley was dead tired. She had never walked so far in her life (nor had she seen so much wilderness in her life) Since she was barefoot, she had stumbled over countless rocks and cut her foot up numerous times. She'd been in so much pain that Aragorn even carried her some of the way.
As they walked through the picturesque woods, she overheard Gimli talking to the Hobbits.
"Stay close," he said, "an Elf-witch lives in these woods, of terrible power.."
Kiley gasped, an Elf- witch! She was just about to ask Legolas about the witch when she had an arrow aimed directly at her. She froze but then she noticed that they were all Elves. She still felt weary, after all they were aiming razor sharp arrows at her throat, but she also felt in awe. 'Wow,' she whispered to herself half scared they'd shoot and half marveling over their beauty and fairness.
"The Dwarf breathes so loud we could've shot him in the dark," she heard a slightly arrogant voice say. She looked and saw a gorgeous elf step out.
The next few hours went by slowly for Kiley. She found out that the elf's name was Haldir and he was a guardian of Lothlorien. She tried to sit as patiently as she could while Aragorn tried to convince him to let them pass through. She found out that the small group she traveled with was called the Fellowship and they were on a quest on great importance. She also found out that Elves were not very fond of Dwarves.
After a very, very long time Haldir came and told them all to follow him. Kiley silently cheered for she was tired of sitting around doing nothing and wished to be on with her adventure. And an adventure it was for her! 'How ironic,' she thought, 'that just today I was daydreaming about being a part of an adventure, and now here I am in one.'
When Kiley first saw Lothlorien she couldn't believe her eyes. The beautiful place was like nothing she could ever imagine. She was taken aback by the splendor and glory it held. The trees were so tall they seemed to reach up to the heavens and were lit with the brightest lights she'd ever laid her eyes upon. Around the brood tree trunks were delicate looking stairs leading upwards. They started climbing and after what felt like a billion stairs they finally reached the top. Kiley looked up and through a brilliant light saw a gorgeous lady and a handsome man.
"Is that the Elf-witch," she whispered to Aragorn.
"So it is said," he responded, "her name is Galadriele Lady of Light and the man at her side is Lord Celeborn. They both have unconceivable power."
Kiley got nervous. How did you talk to someone of unconceivable power? She certainly didn't wanna embarass herself in front of these extraordinary beings. As they came closer Kiley couldn't help but to literally gape at them. Galadriele locked her gaze and gave her a warm smile. Kiley smiled back. She knew that Galadriele and Celeborn started speaking then but all she could do was stare. She didn't even hear anything until Galadriele said her name. Kiley jumped and then noticed that everyone else had gone.
"Kiley," Galadriele whispered, "I believe you have something of mine."
"I beg your pardon Lady Galadriele but I've never even met your aquaintance until now, how can it be that I posess something of yours." Kiley said carefully trying to be as polite as she could.
Galadriele gave a lighthearted laugh. "Kiley, remember the book you found in your world? The one in which you threw at your sister when she angered you, and held tight in your grasp all evening for fear that she'd take it?"
Kiley blushed slightly, "Yes," she replied, "how do you know all this?"
Galadriele gave another laugh. "That is for me to know, it shall not be of any concern to you."
Kiley wanted to find out but decided it was better to not press on the subject. Galadriele then held up the book. "This is my personal journal," she explained, "it holds my secrets and even some of the secrets of Middle Earth."
Kiley stared at the beautiful book. "How did I end up with it? And how come I didn't see your writing on the pages?" she asked.
Galadriele smiled. "You didn't see what I wrote because the book is protected by many spells and charms, and I sent it to you because we needed you here Kiley, you are the only one in your world with the blood of our kin running through your veins.
Kiley stood there unable to move. "Galadriele," she said in a voice only abnove a whisper, "do you mean I have Elf blood in me?"
