Chapter Six
A Message is Delivered
Gandalf rode into Imladris just three days after his meeting in the fields of Hollin. He dismounted and headed towards Lord Elrond's study. He barely paid any attention to the finely carven walls as he briskly walked down the halls. He entered the study and found Lord Elrond and Glorfindel waiting for him just like he had wanted. He sat down in a finely carven chair and set his hat on a table beside him.
"Gandalf, how does my brother fair?" asked Glorfindel.
"He fairs well, many tasks will be appointed unto him soon. Now he is leading a clan of Shadow elves to Lothlorien, there he will see his wife. But before he can leave for Valinor, as his heart will desire, he will be faced with a decision that will haunt him forever. He must choose between the sword or a life of exile," came the reply from the wise Istari.
"Did he send word?" asked Lord Elrond pondering all that was said.
"He thought much about what he would say but the message I took form his mind was, that he would be hear for Arwen's coming of age as he promised but that also, his oath will have no void from that day forth," Gandalf said.
"We await his return," said Glorfindel as they all went into thoughts of what will happen in the weeks ahead.
