When Celide arrived at the Thranduil's door, she walked right in; knocking was not even an option. All heads turned, as she entered. Everybody was there. Aragorn and Arwen, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Frodo, Thranduil and someone
she didn't expect, Legolas. Evrybody was stunned by the transformation that Celide had gone through. She looked at Legolas. He had an icy glare in his eyes, and was getting out of his chair. She knew he was going to say something on the fact that it was well past midnight, and she has yet
to leave the kingdom. Before he got a single word out of his mouth,
Gandalf came in carrying a large book.
"Gandalf, asking before you borrow things is the polite thing to do. Especially if it involves a precious book like The Beings, Beasts, and Burrows of Forgotten Times." Celide said pointing to the immense, leather- bound book.
"Ah yes. See I would have asked for your permission but there is no time for mundane things like that at this moment." Gandalf was thumbing through the pages as he talked. "Your time is limited, Celide or should I say Princess Celide Layla Festybe of the Atlanteans. Please there is much to discuss; so take a seat." Celide did as she was told for she was a little confused by what Gandalf had just called her. Everyone was silent, but there were two little hobbit voices whispering to each other.
"Merry, do think we will have to go on another quest?"
"I am not sure, Pippin; but I think I have had my share of adventure for a lifetime."
"Agreed. Yet I would only go on one if it were for the fair maiden, Celide." Celide started to blush because she knew that everyone in that room had heard the two shire-folk.
A few minutes had passed, when an 'Ah ha' was heard from Gandalf. He then reached his hand into his robes and pulled out a few pieces of paper that looked like they had been torn out of a book.
"I knew it."Celide exclaimed as she jumped out of her seat. "I knew that you had the pages all along."
"Please reseat yourself. I will explain why I am in possession of these pages."
"No I will not. I want to hear an explaination right now."
Gandalf could see that she was not going to be sitting down anytime soon and the minutes were ticking away. "Alright then. I have been tracking this book for many years. It was right after the war that I had come to the knowledge that a bookstore in Mirkwood had come to possess it. I had arrived in town and looked at the book. The pages I took were extremely significant on your behalf. There had been a prophecy made many years before the time of elves that a young maiden would rise from the forgotten and would hold the power of creation and destruction in fragile hands. It was also said that the forseen would have the sign of many moons of the elements. That was when I saw you approach the bookstore and my sight focused on your bracelet, four moons one deep blue, one flaming red, one crystal clear, and one forest green. I hurridly tore the pages but left some to suppress your hunger for knowledge." Celide sat down on the chair as Gandalf contiued. "I was surprised when I saw you at my arrival to the kingdom. I have spent my time here observing you. When I saw Silviol I knew her intentions were evil. The transformation you underwent brought my fears into reality. You had already started the prophecy and were not ready. Not ready physically, mentally, not emotionally. Yet I was wrong and it was a good thing I was or else you would not be alive. To fully understand this significance I should explain your background. Born as Princess Celide Layla Festybe, Princess of the Atlantean kind across the ocean, to the king and queen, you were the symbol of hope in a time of bitter war. There was a war between the Atlanteans and the Titans. Both were great sorcerors and knew a great deal of magic. It started when the Titans became jealous of the prosperity the Atlanteans were experiencing. They made a quick, surprise attack on the neighboring friend, and thus started a three-month battle. The battle was short due to the immense power both sides held. So great was the power that it disturbed the balance of nature. There were non stop volcanic eruptions, tidal waves, and the ground shook violently. After months of constant harsh beatings the island known as Atlantis started to sink. The Atlanteans noticed this and took this as a sign from greater powers that two poweres of such proportion should never coexist. The Atlanteans estimated that the island would disappear two weeks after it had started. In this time scriptures were written to record the history of the Atlanteans and this was the time that you were born, Celide. It was agreed that you were a sign that there was still hope that the Atlantean kind could still survive. So a spell was cast upon you and you alone were sent to stay on Middle Earth till the powers above believed it was your time to awake. Now centuries later you have awoken. You were able to choose creation instead of destruction when you were with Silviol. That is a promising action. The only thing to worry about is your body being able to contain the power gifted to the Atlanteans. You would be the only Atlantean to gain all powers at once and have no training to help your body adapt. I can tell that the power inside you is ready to rush forth by the increasing glow of your tattoos. I just am not sure how to reduce the power." He sat back in his chair and lit his pipe as a look of deep concentration crossed his face.
Arwen stood up and walked over to Celide. She held Celide's wrist up to look at the moons. The moons shone brightly and the color seemed to swirl inside it. As she lowered Celide's wrist she noticed a star next to the clasp. "Hhhmm."
"What is it the stirs your curiosity, Arwen?" asked Aragorn.
"Inside of this lone star is a word yet I do not know what it says." Arwen replied as she examined the charm.
"I did not know that. Let me have a look." Celide looked at her bracelet. "Cumlasi." She read out loud. As soon as the last letter escaped her mouth a rush of light flooded the room and the energy skyrocketed. It all seemed to eminate from Celide. Celide swaggered a little yet was able to regain balance.
"What just happened?" Sam asked.
"I believe Celide has just found the remedy to releasing all of her energy." Gandalf answered. "Are you alright, Celide?"
"Yes, I feel very much releived."
"That is good." Thranduil commented.
"I appreciate your thoughtfullness, but before I am asked many questions I would like to ask if they can be held off till later. I am feeling a bit weary."
"Of course. Please forgive our rudeness. Rest well." Aragorn said.
"It is not rude at all. And I will sleep well and I hope you all do the same." Celide left the room. She did not know it but she was being followed.
