Chapter Two
A Beginning
Carangil stood on the balcony overlooking the gardens of Imladris when he heard two people approaching. He still looked forward as they joined him. On is right stood the beautiful Celebrian and on his left stood her daughter, Arwen, the Evenstar of her people.
"Good morning Lord Carangil," Arwen said as she looked over towards the fountains in the middle of the gardens.
"Good morning Lady Arwen, Lady Celebrian, I trust you've slept well," he replied.
"We have. I trust you are prepared for the journey?" asked Lady Celebrian.
"I have, are the Princes ready?" he answered and asked in reply.
"Yes, they are waiting for you at the stables," was the reply she gave.
"I shall be leaving this fair house soon then," he said as he started to turn around but a hand stopped him.
"Please Lord Carangil, have my brothers and Legolas home for my coming of age day, it will be three months from now. It would not be the same without them," asked Arwen.
"Lady, they will be here or my life will be forfeit," he promised and she smiled.
"Thank you Lord," she replied and he walked off towards the stables. He walked through the richly decorated hallway without seeing anyone. Carangil arrived at the side door and walked through the archway right into Lord Elrond and Glorfindel.
"Morning Carangil, I have had the servants pack some things extra that you did not have but my foresight said you needed," said Lord Elrond.
"Thank-you Lord, morning brother," he said in reply. "Morning," he replied.
"Carangil, I have one thing I have to tell you and then you may depart," Lord Elrond said.
' Oh no,' he thought.
"It is fine," he said reading his mind, "Just remember, all is fair in love and war."
With that they left leaving him to ponder what Lord Elrond had meant. He walked to the stables and saw the princes waiting with the horses. He saw his great mare, Asfaloth, and went over to stroke her beautiful neck.
"Lord Carangil, I was getting worried you weren't going to show," said Elrohir in a serious tone like his father used.
"Well I am here and we are going now," he said as he climbed up onto the horse and the princes did the same.
They rode forth from Imladris towards the Gap of Rohan away from the sun and into an adventure to figure out why 'all was fair in love and war.'
