Chapter
10 "Galadrial comes to the rescue"
In the deep woods
east of Anáwiel, Galadrial, Bilbo and Gandalf were exploring
the incredible nature around them, suddenly Galadrial stopped dead in
her tracks, as if she sensed trouble, she had a vision, one that
showed the trouble that Frodo was in, she saw Sandy beside him crying
and Elrond crying as well, she knew they had to get back to Anáwiel
as soon as possible for she feared something serious was going on.
"We must head back" Galadrial said. "But why?"
Bilbo asked. "I sense trouble back at home, and i fear its very
serious" Galadrial said softly. "what is this trouble
Galadrial...tell me!" Gandalf said. Gandalf feared that it could
be Frodo but he was not sure, only Galadrials vision could tell him
of what she saw. Galadrial looked deep into Gandalf's eyes, for what
she saw was Frodo suffering, she spoke with every softness of her
voice to tell him of what she saw. "What is it
Galadrial..speak!" Bilbo said. Galadrial sighed again and spoke
"In my vision I fear, I have seen Frodo lying on a bed,
suffering, with Sandy and Elrond by his side crying." "You
certain this is what you have seen?" Gandalf asked. "My
visions are never wrong dearest Gandalf, Frodo is suffering and we
need to get to him as soon as possible" Galadrial said with one
single tear fall from her eye. Gandalf then remember what he had been
worried about for so long and spoke "No..no! It can't be! It's
what I have been fearing for a long time now, Frodo's illness has
returned to him!" "No! Not my dear boy, his illness can't
be coming back, but...wouldn't Elronds elven spell work on him to
cure?" Bilbo asked. Suddenly Galadrial had a vision of what took
place at the time Elrond was doing the elven spell, and then spoke
"Elrond's elven spell did not work, so Frodo is suffering, and
Elrond can't do anything, I am needed! We must go, for I am Frodo's
only hope, Elrond's elven spell will not work in these parts I fear"
"Come! We must save him!" Gandalf said. "Hold
on Frodo, we are coming to save you!" Bilbo said. "Yes,
please hold on Frodo, we beg of you to hold on" Galadrial
whispered. They rode back on their white horses to Anáwiel and
ran inside, there they saw Frodo screaming in pain and Sandy and
Elrond crying by his side. "Galadrial! Thank god! Your our only
hope to save Frodo!" Elrond said. "Please save him, please,
im begging of you, save him!" Sandy cried. "Did your Elven
spell not work on him?" Gandalf asked. "I am afraid it did
not Gandalf, from which I do not understand, Frodo is suffering and
needs to be saved before he dies" Elrond said. Sandy let out a
big cry, she did not want to hear the word "death"
concerning Frodo. Galadrial moved towards Frodo very slowly and
gracefully, the sound of Frodo screaming broke her heart, she knew he
was suffering, she sat down beside him and put her hand on his
forehead and closed her eyes, then she spoke "Amin Ne la mana
bei ille mai mona ti finie na. Fight the illness brave hobbit, fight
it, spare his time of goings, let him live, for time is too early for
this halfling to leave such a world when he has so much to do."
And
at that moment Frodo stopped screaming and closed his eyes, as if he
had fallen into a deep sleep, it was a sign that it was possible her
spell was working. "Frodo.." Bilbo said walking over to his
bedside and putting his hand on his head. "Please..be alright,
please, we dont want to lose you, I dont want to lose you my boy,
please, fight this with all your might" he said kissing him
lightly on the forehead. " Frodo...ill be here...waiting for
your wake, by your side, to see your lovely eyes open" Sandy
said kissing his hand. "Come now, Frodo needs his rest, you must
give the spell time to make him better, we can check on him at times
to see if hes alright, but he needs rest" Galadrial said.
"Please Galadrial, let me stay by him, I know he needs rest, but
I want to stay by his side" Sandy said. "But dear Sandy,
Frodo needs some time on his own to get better" Galadrial said.
"If she wishes to stay by his side, then so be it, for what can
it hurt for a love of a friend to stick by him?" Gandalf asked.
"there is no hurt, I just want Frodo to get some rest thats all"
Galadrial said. "then rest he shall endure, but let Sandy be by
his side" Bilbo said. "Yes please, I beg of you, let me be
by his side, in hopes of in his awakening, he can see that I have not
given up hope in him and has stuck by him through this all, and show
him that he truly means the world to me" Sandy said. "Well
okay, if you wish, then you can be by his side in hopes of his
awakening, we will all be in the next room, alert us if he wakes up
or if anything goes wrong" Galadrial said. "I shall and I
thank you" Sandy said. "Many welcomes" Galadrial said.
Galadrial and Bilbo walked into the next room, Elrond looked at Frodo
and started to head into the other room when suddenly he stopped and
looked at Sandy.
"You know, Frodo is very lucky to have
someone like you" Elrond said. "Aw, thats so sweet Elrond,
well he does mean alot to me, and we shared our very first kiss back
at the falls" Sandy said. "I know, I saw, and I was very
happy to see that you had both showed your emotions to one another,
and im proud of Frodo for finally getting his feelings out"
Elrond said. "Me too, hes a tough hobbit, I just hope he gets
through this" Sandy said. "Well I will leave you some time
with him, remember to call for us if he should wake up or something
happens, I thank you for being by his side" Elrond said. "Your
very welcome!" Sandy said giving Elrond a hug. Elrond walked
into the very next room leaving Sandy by the side of very sick Frodo.
She was anxious to see if Galadrial's spell had worked on him but at
the very same time afraid that Frodo was doomed, and that he was
taking his very last breathes at that moment, but she had a good
feeling that Galadrial's spell worked and knew that in Frodo's eyes
that Galadrial was a hero to him, for she was his final hope of
surviving this illness that took over him. Sandy climbed unto the bed
beside Frodo and layed her head on his shoulder, holding unto his
hand tight, and whispered "I love you" and then she closed
her eyes and fell asleep beside him.
