Katya had been asleep for six hours now. After a short talk between Aragorn and Katya, she had become sleepy and decided that she would finish waiting out the storm in the warm blankets of sleep. Now the storm was dying off and Aragorn was pondering about whether or not he should wake her. Elladan had left to see if he thought that Katya could make it though the gift that the storm had left them. Aragorn was quite sure though that she could not make it much farther. Suddenly he saw Katya stir. He was relived. "Katya? How are you feeling? Katya?" He noticed that Katya did not seem able to hear him. She looked very pale. She glanced up at him but her eyes did not see him. Aragorn could see that her eyes were heavily clouded with a fever. "Oh Valar curse. What are we going to do now?" He said to the heavens. Katya's eyes began to close. She slowly was fading into darkness. Aragorn called out to her. "Katya! Can you hear me? Katya! You can not die!' He could see that she was passing into a realm he had never dared to cross into. "Elladan! We must go on! Elladan!" He hoped that Elladan could hear him from down the mountain. Sure enough, Elladan came up the slope five minutes later. "Elladan. It's Katya. Se had a horrible fever and we must get her to Lorien now." "As you say but how shall we get her there?" Elladan inquired. Aragorn had not thought about this. After a moment of hesitation he answered confidently. "I shall carry her tied onto my back." Elladan shook his head. "What would my sister do if she found out about this?" Aragorn smiled. "Unless you betray me to her, we will never know will we?" With that Aragorn began to construct a sling in which he would fasten Katya to his back.
"My Lord." Aragorn said to the Lord Celeborn. "Aragorn son of Arathorn! It had been long since you have walked past the fair borders of Lorien. Please tell me the news of my granddaughter." Celeborn said in response. "All shall be told in a matter of time but for now I am in dire need of your healing. I travel with Elladan, but with us comes a girl. When we traveled though the Misty Mountains...I'm afraid she didn't quite make it. She has an extremely high fever and every second she goes a little father in her dreams. I don't suppose I need to tell you where her dreams are leading" Celeborn then wished that he were as great as his wife. She could have taken care of the child in blink of an eye without even looking at her. And in many cases did. "Let me see her and I will see what I can do." Aragorn nodded solemnly before stepping outside and taking Katya from Elladan and Haldir. "Here my Lord is Katya Leonesky.
