Chapter Seven
Lothlorien
Carangil sat on his horse looking at the Golden Wood from where he sat halfway down the mountain. The last couple of days had been long, the shadow elf, Darren, had asked too many questions for his liking and the princes had gone into silence, they did not like these "traitors" being able to come into the light. They had heard of the attacks they had done in the first and second ages on the Eldar. He started his horse again and set it at a brisk pace.
They rode for an hour and a half when a party of elves came out of the woods on horses. They halted and waited for there arrival. The lead elf of that group rode up to Carangil and he recognized his immediately.
"Haldir, it has been too long," he said as they clasped forearms.
"That is the man," said Darren angrily.
"I am an elf, not a man," Haldir said flatly.
"You killed my father," he replied with wrath in his voice.
"Any who attack the Lady dies at my sword, I fought for her safety, not for my own," he replied coolly.
"Does this bother you Darren?" asked a sultry voice from behind a group of elves.
"Why should it bother me, I care not. Who are you?" he asked.
"I am queen, beautiful and terrible as the dawn, treacherous as the sea, stronger than the foundation of the earth. Does that scare you?" said the female voice in reply as Carangil and the princes tried to refrain from laughing. That was the phrase she used to frighten the young elves when she was mad.
"Lady, I know not who you are, but I ask to see your face" came the reply. Galadriel walked forward from the group and all of the elves bowed their heads in reverence while the shadow elves stared in awe of her beauty.
"Carangil, grandsons and nephew, please continue into Caras Galahdon, I will take this from here," she said and they bowed their heads and rode forth into Lothlorien.
Carangil started laughing as soon as they were out of hearing range and soon the princes joined.
"Grandmother used to threaten me with that when I would steal her needles and thread when she was sowing for Arwen," said Elrohir after the spells of laughter had ended.
"I remember when she scared Lord Elrond with that after he had met Celebrian, he almost passed out," said Carangil giving ammo to the twins for revenge on their father.
' I am surprised he laughed, he is lightening,' Legolas said to Elladan over a hidden telepathic link.
' Father told me this would happen, we must rejoice for his sake,' was the reply and the link was severed.
