Chapter 6
Aragorn searched for some time before finding Celebrian with Arwen in one of the more private gardens. When he walked into their eye line, they both looked up at him and smiles. Aragorn was beyond shocked to see how much the two girls looked alike when they smiled. "Ladies." he said with a nod. "Celebrian? May I speak with you ?" "Of course, my Lord. Amin naa lle nai? I am your to command." Cele said as she stood. "If my Lady will excuse me." she said looking at Arwen. "Please, call me Arwen. And of course you may go." Arwen answered with a smile. "Diola lle… Arwen. Thank you… Arwen." Aragorn held out his arm to Cele, she took it and they left Arwen alone. "Will you walk with me a ways?" Aragorn asked politely. "Of course. What is it that my Lord would speak to me about?" Cele asked as they walked. "Lord Elrond believed that I might help you remember you past. I thought that a walk might help that process along." he replied. "Not to be rude or incautious, my Lord." Cele said as she stopped walking, "But Lord Elrond has already heard my story. I have nothing to change or add, but when I do he will be the first to know it." "I did not mean to offend you, Lady Celebrian." Aragorn responded. "You have not offended me. I apologize for being short with you, it's just that I am tired." Cele replied, wavering slightly. "Lle anta yul a en alu? Do you need a drink of water?" Aragorn asked, concerned. "N'uma. Amin anta est. No. I need to rest." she replied sitting down on a nearby bench. As she sat down, Cele began to feel faint. She grabbed for Aragorn's tunic just as she passed out. "Celebrian?" Aragorn cried as he reached to seize her before she hit the ground.
"Lord Elrond!" a servant bellowed as he raced into Elrond's study. "My Lord, Celebrian has fainted." "Where is she?" Elrond asked as he jumped out of his chair. "Lord Aragorn has taken her to the healers. He cannot get her to wake." the servant called as Elrond ran out of the room in the direction of the healing wing. "Mani marte? What happened?" Elrond yelled as he flew into the room. "We were talking, just as you asked and she said that she was feeling tired, so she sat down to rest. The she made a grab for my tunic as she passed out. I tried to wake her, but she would have none of it." Aragorn said in a rush. " My Lord." the healer on duty said, "she is in a coma. There is nothing I can do for her. She must awaken on her own."
It was several weeks before the healer pronounced that he believed Celebrian would be find, but that it would be best for her if she woke up soon. Not four days after he said this did Cele finally being to awaken. When she was fully awake and had opened her eyes, she was surrounded my several concerned and somewhat relieved faces. "Quel andune. Sut lle tyara? Good afternoon. How do you feel?" Elrond asked after a moment. " Like I've been asleep for an Age." she croaked with a small smile. The others in the room all chuckled at her comment. "Well, not an Age, but several weeks. You had us all worried." Elrond said. "Amin hiraetha. I'm sorry." she whispered. Cele looked at the faces gathered around her and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Mani naa at, hin? What is it, child?" Elrond asked, concerned. Cele frowned and looked at him, then said, "I am no child. I am over a hundred years old. One hundred and fourteen to be exact." "I beg your pardon. I did not know." Elrond replied with a bemused grin. "You are forgiven." she said with a devilish smirk. She looked around her again with a frown, like she was trying to remember something, then broke into a grin again as her face showed that she recognized something. "Ada… Atara! Father… Mother!" came her excited voice.
