Chapter 7: As I Cry Alone
Darkness crept over the forest Gandalf assures the group that they will be meeting the Lothlorien. Arriël hears someone following them but it's hard to hear much of anything with Gimli talking so loud. He is over come with joy to be meeting the Lady of the Wood once more. Legolas and the other's laugh, although it's not so easy for her to laugh these days. Arriël's heart has become troubled once more visions returning to her head, but she shakes them away. Hearing the foot steps once again, and another sound she turns to Frodo as she looks to him, seeing an arrow headed straight at his head. Using her telekinesis to stop it mere centimeters away from his face. Looking to Alexia and she's already using her power to form a shield around them, but one is missing.
"Where's Merry?" She asked Frodo.
"I don't know" he said to her.
"Ok you ready Lex" she looked to her sister. They concentrate on their powers of telekinesis finding their foes in the forest they use the power to raise them in the air, and remove their weapons.
"Put us down!" A young elven boy that looks around her age yells from mid-air.
"We will as soon as you tell us why you were trying to attack us?" Arriël asked her head tilting to the side.
"Lothlorien elves do not welcome strangers, especially ones as ugly as you" he said to her spitting.
"You better watch your mouth it's not wise to upset the person who holds your life in their hands" Alexia said to him. Arriël looks to the other elven child a girl.
"And you why do you attack us, when we mean no harm to you or your people?" She asked the young elven girl.
"Forgive me my lady I only did what I was told to do by my older brother" the young elven girl motions to the young boy. They place them back on the ground and Arriël goes to the girl.
"You are forgiven and now what would this young elven girl ask of the Princess of Mirkwood?" Arriël asked the young girl.
"To meet the Prince Legolas, who I have heard so much about" the small girl said smiling. "He is said to be the most handsome of them all. With his ocean blue eye's, beautiful skin, field wheat blonde hair, and an aim that can hit anything. Any girl would be lucky to be his bride!" The small girl swooned
"Really? And what would this young elven child ask him?" Arriël asked.
"That's easy I'd ask him to teach me his archery skills for it is known throughout all of Middle-Earth that he is the best of all men, and elves" she said excitedly.
"What is your name?" Arriël asked.
"Maggie" she said.
"Well Maggie your wish is my command," Arriël said to her. "Melamin come here?" she yelled to him as he turned around Maggie's face lit up with joy.
"Are you really Prince Legolas famous archer throughout all Middle-Earth" Maggie asked smiling. "You're even more handsome than I imagined." The small elven girl blushed at her own comment, and at the prince.
"Famous I don't think so, but yes I am he. I thank you lirimear" Legolas said giving her a kiss on the cheek. Blushing deeply at the comment of him calling her lovely one.
"I've heard all about you! You were at the battle of Helm's Deep. You were the first amongst our kind to make friends with Gimli the dwarf. Your archery skill is more than perfect, and Lady Galandriel gave you a bow made from our people." She said still smiling.
"Yes she did" he said smiling.
"Will you teach me your archery skills?" Maggie said excitedly.
"Of course lirimaer" he said.
"Yeah!" she jumped into his arms hugging him. "Thank you so much Prince Legolas!"
Arriël turned to the teen elven boy who looks close in age to her. "And for you, what would an elven boy ask of the Princess of Mirkwood?" She asked him looking into his deep forest green eyes; he realized her real beauty and cursed himself for calling her ugly.
"That she would forgive me for ever calling her anything but beautiful. That I might have kiss from her, and a strand of her beautiful ebony colored hair" he said blushing.
She let out a light laugh, and kissed his cheek the small boy blushed. "And here for you young prince, my hair" she said pulling out her dagger and cutting a small lock at the root.
"May I ask your name my lady?" he said.
"I am Arriël Greenleaf Queen of the forgotten city Imanca, and Princess to the Woodland realm Mirkwood" she said with a great pride in her voice. "And what would this handsome young elven boy's name be?" she asked.
"My name is Joshua I am the head general's son" he said. "My father is Haldir" he said with great pride in his voice.
"Will you bring us to Lady Galandriel?" She asked.
"Follow me" he said grabbing her hand leading ahead while the other's smiled.
They walked through the forest for another twenty minutes, until they reached another large wooded area. The trees are tall with gold leaves shining from them like diamonds, and small glittering dusts falls from the sky. The grass is soft and moist with dew, as the fellowship reached Lady Galandriel's palace. It's lit with candles making everything look as if it's outlined in silver small arch is in front of them. They are told to wait by the guards, while Maggie and Joshua say their goodbyes. As we wait there a bright light shines from atop the stairs and then Arriël sees, them Lord Celeborn, and Lady Galandriel. Her eye's deep and piercing, she looks to each one saying nothing that she knows of, and then to Alexia and Arriël, it appears that she is able to communicate with us through telepathy.
Quel undome Arriël ar' Alexia, I see you have made it this far without much hardship she said to us.
[Good evening Arriël and Alexia]
If you call seeing the people you love die in front of you, and you ruling all of Middle-Earth in sheer darkness not a hardship then yeah I guess we haven't had many shesaid upset.
I know the burden you bare Arriël. I stop her before she can speak anymore.
Do you? Do you really know what it's like to see the people you love die? Do you live in constant fear of another vision plaguing your mind like some sick movie because if you don't then I guess you really don't know then do you? Arriël asked her in a demanding tone becoming angrier with each word spoken.
You have to understand Arriël. Her voice calm and gentle, but Arriël still wouldn't listen
No! You understand ever since I came to this place I've been seeing horrible things, things I know you dare not even see or wish to see and you have the nerve to tell me that you know the burden I bare! Arriël's voice filled with anger though only Alexia and Galandriel can tell.
Arriël you must understand. This is not an easy thing and I do know the burden you bare for every time you see your visions I too see them, and I know not what a movie is but if it is something that shows pictures in motion. Then yes I also see the sick movie that you do you see Arriël, Alexia your mother was my younger sister I am your aunt plagued with the same gift of sight as you are. She said her voice still gentle and comforting.
Forgive me Aunt Galandriel I did not know that you have witnessed all that I have from these visions. I was wrong to assume that you would lie to me. She said running to her aunt hugging her tightly the warmth of her body soothing to her own.
Come you will rest for now. Lady Galandriel leads them to a large open area with tents placed all over the place.
As she lies in her tent all she can think of is Legolas, he lays next to her sleeping peacefully. Arriël turns to him gently stroking his hair. She smiles and gets up not being able to sleep she decides to take a walk around and explore her aunts' home. She walks around finding a small path where it leads to she does not care she stumbles upon a small stream and she sees someone familiar. She walks to Joshua.
"Hello Joshua" she said to him trying to put on her best fake smile but her lips tremble as tears start to well up in her.
"Is there anything wrong my lady?" he asked her seeing her eye's glossing.
"It's nothing I'm just worried about things, that's all" she said he grabs her hand in a protective gesture as well as a comforting one like a little brother would to his older sister.
"Is there anything I can do my lady?" the young elven boy asked.
"Yes you can call me Arriël for one and no you just being here is nice" she said to him he squeezed her hand gently.
"Arriël it is time" Galandriel said walking towards them.
"Time for what?" she asked.
"Come with me" Galandriel said starting to walk away.
"Namarië Joshua" Arriël said to him kissing his cheek.
"Lissenen ar' maska'lalaith tenna' lye omentuva" he said kissing her cheek. Sweet water and light laughter till next we meet
We walk back down the path and onto another path leading to where I don't know. As I grow tired she stops, and goes to a small fountain picking up a silver pitcher filling it with the water. "Will you look into the mirror?" she asked pouring the water into a small bird bath.
"Do I have too?" I asked.
"It is your choice, but I think you should" she said.
"I will look into the mirror" she said. As she walked up to the mirror it faded away and showed The Shire or at least what she thinks is the Shire. There are hobbits all over there gardening, shopping, smoking their pipes, the picture fades again. Showing Sam in the Shire gardening. Fading once again and Arriël sees Mirkwood but it's not the Mirkwood she remembers everything is set a blaze. Seeing her father in law on the floor dead, six arrows are the cause of his death. Then she sees someone running to him it's a picture of herself laying over him crying. The picture fades again and she sees herself back at home eating a burger with Alexia.
Once more the picture fades again into nothingness, and she cannot see anything but then it becomes clear again and Arriël sees him. The black being that torments her mind, with his evilness, the man who plans to steal everything she loves and holds dear. Arriël turns once more and sees Legolas running to her or at least she can assume it's her. Dressed in all black her skin is pale, her eyes lifeless, lips cold she looks to Alexia and her sister looks the same.
The others lie on the ground dead arrows in their backs. Looking once more to Legolas and as he reaches for her, he shakes Arriël as if she were in some sort of coma. Yet she is awake not moving, not feeling, not caring about anyone or anything he holds her close. Starting to go back to the light, away from the darkness, and her face shows smile. Kissing him for what they don't know will be the last time.
As he pulls away from Arriël she holds him close only to feel the sweep of an arrow hit his back. The evil laughter of the man she hates so much. Falling to his knees his whispers in her ear, I love you and his eyes closing for the last time. In one second he's taken from her forever. Crying on his lifeless body yelling to the skies in anger asking why Legolas was dead. Turning to see Molirion his laughter continues. The picture fades seeing a bright golden light. Legolas holding her in the Mirkwood garden, laughing together they smile happily and a small puppy comes to them. Legolas calling the blonde puppy the name he calls her is Ginger.
"Why? How could you?" Arriël asked angrily.
"It is not what I showed you but what the mirror did I have no control over its images" she said to her young niece.
"Is this what's going to happen?" She asked her crying.
"No poikaer, this is only what could happen anything my magical mirror shows is not for sure" she said trying to comfort me. Pure one.
"I need to be alone" Arriël said walking away. Walking back to the camp not wanting to go to sleep Arriël just sits her body outside the tents. Hearing someone coming, she turns and sees its Frodo.
"Hello Arriël" he said smiling at me.
"What is it?" Her voice ran daggers into his heart.
"Oh you looked into Lady Galandriel's mirror," he said plainly.
"Yeah so if you could just leave me alone I'd really appreciate it" Her voice covered his ears like a sheet of ice from a winters storm.
"But I know what it's like" although the harshness in her voice was strong he still reached for her in a comforting gesture.
"Frodo could you just," Arriël let out a small scream.
"I'm sorry Arriël I won't bother you anymore," he said walking away.
"No Frodo" Arriël said trying to stop him but it's too late she's hurt him, and doesn't blame him for being angry. She cries alone. She begins to realize what all this is doing to her soul. She spent the rest of the night crying until the morning sun came over the tree tops, shining through the leaves making them seem like small Christmas lights.
It appears that Gandalf has decided to have them stay there for another day. Arriël decided that to be alone for a while and it is hard in this place. Everywhere Arriël turns other Lothlorien elves follow her. Legolas trying to comfort her and what he fails to realize is that he can't not this time. Finding she is somewhat lost in Lothlorien but not caring because there is no one around to bother her. Singing to herself not realizing she has a spy watching from a tree top. A branch snaps and looking to see Joshua, as he jumps onto the ground.
"Sorry Arriël no one could find you and I said I would help and I guess I did I found you" he said with a small smile.
"No it's ok come I've been alone for too long" She said reaching out for his arm he takes it sitting next to the princess.
"Arriël would you marry me?" He said rather fast.
Smiling at him. "I would aratoamin but my heart belongs to Legolas. I love him dearly as well as you but I love you and him in a different way." She said to young elven boy. [My champion]
"Would you though if you were not his love?" He asked me.
"Yes I would" She smiled the truth is Arriël would his heart his kind, sweet, and strong. He his very handsome as well. Arriël thought to herself, I would marry him he's kind, loving, but I don't know if I could. Legolas I love him so much the only way I could marry Joshua is if I had never met Legolas and fallen in love with him.
"That alone makes me happy" he said. "Will you tell me the song you sang, you sing like an angel" he said and I blushed.
"It's one of my favorites. Knowing that no matter what God's always there and that in the end you're going to come out ok. As long as you hold onto your faith" Unable to hold back the tears they fell freely from her brown eyes.
"What's wrong Arriël?" He asked.
"My faith is slipping away, Joshua I feel so alone" She said to him.
"If you forget all we ever talk about. Remember this God will never leave you nor forsake you" he said and as he does she felt the weight being lifted from her shoulders. Remembering that he's right.
"Come we should go back everyone especially Legolas is worried about you" he said getting up and helping her as well.
They walked in silence back to the palace not wanting to say anything just him being there for her was enough. Arriël knew that if she had let him Legolas would have been to. Arriël just cannot bear to look at him without tears welling up. Sometimes it is too much for her to think that he might be gone while she is stuck in the world alone, knowing that soon enough her mourning would eat away at her. Leaving her to have nothing to look forward to but her own death, alone in the world with no one to love as she does him. Walking on a small path and Arriël looks up to see the whole group.
"There she is!" Merry pointed and shouted.
"Arriël Greenleaf where have you been?" Alexia scolded her younger sister.
"Are you alright melamin" Legolas asked.
"Yes I'm ok I just needed to be alone for a while that's all" she said not really wanting to explain herself once again. Walking off alone only realize she has followers.
"Arriël will you not talk us?" Pippin asked his small gentle voice curious his question made her cringe at the thought.
"Of course I will Pippin, but I need time to think about things" Arriël said turning.
"You've been alone and thinking for too long come along Merry, Frodo, Sam and I have made a picnic just for you." He said pulling her down another path leading her to a small opening. Where the sun shines down like a beam of light, Pippin sits her down in the middle of the light.
"Pippin where's everyone else?" She asked confused.
"We have a surprise for you" Pippin said, looking around and seeing Frodo, Sam, and Merry come out of the shadows holding a small cake with candles on it seventeen to be exact.
"What's all this for?" Arriël asked totally confused.
"It's your birthday!" Merry said proudly.
"My birthday?" She asked confused never really remembering such a thing, especially since her birthday was not for another three months.
"Yes Galandriel told us this is when you where born in Middle-Earth she says your now 1,999 years old" Pippin said.
"Ugh! That sounds so old" she winced at the sound of such an old age.
"Oh no Arriël in elven time your still what you would call from your time a teenager" Pippin says. "Along with Legolas he's 2000 years old and your sister is 2003 along with Dimtilion," Pippin said smiling.
"Oh well that makes me feel a whole lot better" Her sarcasm was funny enough to make them all laugh. "But thanks you guys" putting on her best smile.
"Here I made this for you" Pippin handed her a scarlet colored skirt, with a matching top it's material soft and smooth.
"I made this bouquet for you" Sam handed her a large bouquet of silver, gold, and white flowers.
"Oh Sam, Pippin there lovely thank you so much" Arriël said kissing their cheeks.
"Don't forget this I made these for you" Merry hands Arriël a pair of tan colored leather knee high boots.
"Here Arriël this if for you as well" Frodo hands Arriël two books one says There and Back Again by Bilbo Baggins. Just below it The Lord of the Rings. It's a leather book, and the other a gold book outlined in white with her name embedded on it. Opening it to find it's blank full of white pages just waiting to be written on. "Thank you Frodo" Arriël said kissing his cheek as well. "And Merry these boots are wonderful, but when did you guys find time to make all of this?" For the first time her smile was sincere, without realizing it she smiled, really smiled.
"Well honestly we had some of the Lorien elves help us" Merry confessed.
"Except me I only made sure it was alright that I pick the flowers" Sam said. "Lady Camellia placed an elven spell on the flowers so they won't die ever, their connected to your life. So they'll never die"
"It doesn't matter there all lovely gifts thank so much" Arriël hugged them all tightly.
"Come let's eat some cake!" Pippin said smiling brightly. We had my cake which was quiet delicious, and of course you know with Merry and Pippin's undying appetite they had between the two of them three slices each.
"Hey you guys can you leave me and Frodo alone for a minute please?" Arriël asked the boys.
"Sure Arriël come on guys" Sam said gathering Merry and Pippin tearing them away from their cake slices. As their out of sight she finally looked to Frodo.
"Look Frodo I'm really sorry about last night it's just if you only saw the things I saw you'd understand" she said feeling helpless.
"I know exactly how you feel because it wasn't to long ago that I looked into that same mirror. I saw Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Legolas, and then the image faded and it showed, the Shire in flames. Sam and the others in chains orcs beating them with whips, and then the worst image I could have ever seen, the eye of Sauron reaching for the ring" he said and as he did tears began to flow from his eye's.
"Frodo," Her voice trailed off she could not do anything because she knows how he feels, all Arriël can do is hug him and try to comfort him.
"His eye will always remain clear in my mind, but what kept me going was that I knew I had to destroy that ring. If not for me for all the others in Middle-Earth. I know you feel like no one understands but I do, because every time I would put that ring on or even touch it his eye would watch me. Every step I took I would grow closer to Mordor his eye was on me, but look at me I came out of it alright, and you will too." Frodo said gripping her hand tightly.
"Your right" Arriël said more cheerfully. "Come on I must go and find Legolas" she said getting up they walked back and talked of things that made them laugh they'd especially agree on the time that Merry was snoring loudly. Walking around a corner to look up and find Legolas kissing another elven girl, his arms on her shoulders holding them tight her arms around his waist. "Legolas" Her voice once again trailed off, and as he heard Arriël's voice he pushed her away.
"Arriël no it's not what it looks like!" He yelled to her while she ran away. Although she doesn't listen. She thought to herself. Here I am crying over him totally worrying about him and he's two timing me with some elf. Running back to the tent Frodo trying to follow behind screaming her name for her to stop. She doesn't listen how can she? Arriël has just seen the elf she's dedicated her love and life to, kissing another girl. Lying on the bed crying even harder than before.
Arriël hears someone coming, and she knows its Legolas. Using her telekinesis to make a shield around her stopping him from entering the tent, he hits the shield hard and falls back.
"Melamin please you don't understand" he said to her. Once again her mind wonders into thought. But I do he was kissing someone else. Deciding that even the sight of him makes her sick. Using her telekinesis to fly away, but before Arriël does she says her peace.
"Look before you even say one more word to me know this. I do not ever want to see your face again and as far as this relationship is, it is over! Stay out of my way and out of my life do you understand! I hate you Legolas Greenleaf I curse the day we met!" Flying away her tears falling from the sky like rain from the heavens. She finds herself sitting atop one of the trees crying..
"Arriël! Arriël! There you are?" Alexia said to her flying up to the tree top Arriël is perched on.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly.
"What's going Legolas is down there crying, saying that your relationship is over and that you hate him?" she said confused.
"Yeah that's pretty much all of it" She said flatly.
"Arriël!" Alexia shouted.
"What!" She shouted back.
"The guy you love is down there crying his eyes out can you tell me why your not down there comforting him?" Alexia asked.
"I'll tell you why, because I caught him cheating on me!" Her echoed back all of Lothlorien heard her Alexia just looks to her sister confused. "That's right cheating I was walking back to tell him I was sorry for being so cold and distant. Instead I find him warming up with some she elf that lives here are you happy now can you leave me alone!" She screamed once more.
"Arriël you've got it all wrong." Alexia said and now it was Arriëls turn to be confused. "That girl came onto him when his hands were on her shoulders he was trying to push her off. She was an old girlfriend who's been trying to get him back with him" she explained.
"Oh and that makes it right Lex?" Arriël asked her crying even more.
"No but you not letting him explain to you doesn't make it better" she said.
"Really so if you saw Dimtilion kissing some other girl same situation would you be as understanding?" Her young sister contradicted.
"No I guess not" she said.
"Exactly!" Was Arriël's reply.
"But just come down and let him explain" she said.
"I promise everything I said is true" she said flying back down and she takes the little sister she loves so much to Legolas. Sitting in a small garden, he's crying he looks up to her his eye's wet with fresh tears.
"Melamin,"He said drying his tears.
"I'm only here because Alexia said I should let you explain so explain!" She said coldly demanding his explanation. Alexia nudging Legolas closer to Arriël.
"Miliel was an old girlfriend. She's always wanted to get back together. I've only ever had feelings for her as a friend after our break up. When she kissed me it was too late to stop her, I tired to push her away. This only made her hold onto me tighter, and it was too late by then you saw." He said in defeat. "I only wish I could go back in time, I'd give anything to take it back. But I gave it everything I could."
"So that makes it ok? What did you do to stop her?" Arriël asked crying once more.
"Nothing ok I said kiss me Miliel kill the beautiful love I have with Arriël who I love more than life itself" he said sarcastically.
"This is no time for jokes Legolas I'm serious!" She yelled at him.
"So am I. Don't you think I tired to move away believe me if I could take it back I would!" He exclaimed grabbing her hands. Arriël still feels that same pulse, that jolt of warmth and happiness coming from his touch.
"I'm sorry, but when I saw you and her kissing it just reminded me of someone back home. Someone that hurt me deeply." He places his finger over her mouth to hush her.
"I would never hurt you like that ever, I promise you this. I am the one who should be sorry." He pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly. "I love you." Legolas said before kissing her. Pulling away from him she smiled.
"And I you," Arriël said. His kiss on her lips felt like a breath of fresh life.
"Now that kiss is the best thing I could have ever done," he said and as she smiled.
Dinner came and they all adjourned to the grand hall. Alexia and Arriël talked it was the first time in a long time that Arriël has been truly happy until she walked in there she was Miliel. Giving both girls evil glares as she passed, her nose lifted high as if someone was holding it for her. Any higher and she might have collided with the masses of elves. Alexia of course could not let this go unnoticed.
"That's right you keep on walking you little fair skin tramp of an elf!" Alexia said snapping her fingers. The mouths of Merry and Pippin almost dropped to the ground, and would have if there wasn't food in it.
"Arriël, Lex have you two lost your minds do you know who she is?" Merry asked frantically.
"No do you Lex?" Arriël asked her calmly.
"No do you care Arriël?" Alexia asked back.
"Nope" she said flatly while they laughed together.
"She's Lord Celeborn's sister and you know elves can hear everything" he said distressed. "Oh boy we're going to be in so much trouble if she heard you and decided to say something to the king about it."
"So what's she going to do?" Lex asked.
"Groom us to death." Arriël said sarcastically causing all four of them to laugh.
"That was good Arriël groom us to death!" Sliding their hands across their palms and bumping their fists the girls smile. Laughing even harder they fail to notice that Miliel stood directly in front of them, she now looks down to them like they are her inferiors.
"What was that?" She asked in a threaten tone.
Alexia and Arriël stood up only mere centimeters away from Miliel's face. "We said that's right keep on walking you little fair skin tramp of an elf!" Arriël said her sister next to her.
"What are you going to do about it groom us to death?" Alexia asked. Miliel becoming aggravated at the sound her being anything but royalty, and for the girls to assume that she would do such work.
Raising her hand in fist form Miliel was ready to hit Arriël hard. Alexia stepped in using her telekinesis to stop the punch. Arriël and Alexia step out of the grand dining hall so no one would have seen them. Alexia holds her mid-air while they both circle the fair elf maiden, like sharks circling their prey.
"Now Miliel naturally I'm not a violent person, but you've caused me a bit of a dilemma. You kissed the man I love and that kind of made me mad so rather than have me punish you. I'll leave it up to Alexia." Turning to her older sister an evil grin spread across her face.
"I think we should leave her hanging. Just let her think she's safe. And then when she least expects it boom! It's all over." Alexia said placing her back on the ground.
Miliel walked away more scared than a kitten just brought into the world. Becoming tired and Arriël tells Legolas that she is retiring to their tent. He smiles and agrees that they all should get some rest. For the most of out trip they'll be heading for Mordor, but first they will travel through Moria.
Legolas and Arriël walked back to their tent. She changes into her night gown while he changes into his night tunic. Laying down she starts to feel that burden come over her once again. She then feels at peace as Legolas wraps his arms around her body. Falling asleep like that her body in his arms. She turns to face him barring her head into his chest curling her body into his feeling the warmth of his body wrapping around her own.
She awakes the next morning to find that he's gone. Arriël finds a note Melamin gone for a while be back soon amin mela lle Arriël Legolas. Smiling and getting dressed in her tunic, to go and get some breakfast. Walking back to the tent humming to herself, she finds Legolas holding a bouquet of flowers, along with a small silk pouch.
"Manke nae lle?" I asked him. Where were you?
"Getting these for you" he handed her the bouquet, and the small pouch opening the bag and find a silver necklace in it, it's a star made out of a diamond, the chain is mithiril.
"What's this for?" Arriël asked placing it over her head onto her neck.
"Your birthday since I didn't get to give it to you yesterday" he said.
"It's beautiful!" She kissed him passionately.
"Come we must leave now Lady Galandriel wishes to see us before we depart" he said leading her out to the river.
Giving them gifts as she once did to the first fellowship. "To you young Peregrin and Merdioc elven daggers made especially for you. Along with these potions made from herbs in our forest can cure any aliment." She placed them in their hands.
"To you Frodo Baggins, and Samwise Gamgee elven necklaces that gives the power of camouflage to whatever you wish yourself to be. Use them wisely for they only work in the most urgent times. To you Gandalf a helix crystal that will light any path no matter how dark. To you Aragorn, and Talther elven rings that create a shield around you and your allies for protection. And to you master dwarf friend of the elves, an ax made from mithril, an elven spell inscribed upon it. So that whenever you wield it, it shall protect you as well as your allies." She smiled handing it to him as he bowed his head in sadness. "Would you not wish to have this?" Tilting her head.
"No my lady just that I may touch your hair and look upon your face once more as always is my wish" he said.
"How about this" she pulled out amour made just for him. "Made from mithril it shall protect you in all battles you face" she then turned to Legolas.
"I have nothing greater to give then what you already posses." She looked to Arriël and then to Legolas. "Her faith is fading Legolas you must be the one to lead her back. She needs you just as much as you need her please remember that" she said. She turned to Arriël and Alexia. "And to you Arriël and Alexia I wish you all the luck and my prayers" she said.
"That's all no gifts I mean, you give everyone else a weapon can we at least get that?" Alexia asked.
"Alexia you and your sister already have all the weapons you need, your gifts. Use them wisely" Galandriel said kissing their foreheads.
"Thank you Aunt Galandriel." They hug her goodbye.
