When they got to the river, they went in search of her boat.
"Legolas, do you remember Arlena?"
He smiled broadly. "Yes. How could I forget her."
"Well, I'm going to ask her to come." She paused as he took it in.
He glanced at Fenix. "Where is she?"
She shrugged. "That's the problem. I don't know."
Legolas grinned. "You never know where she is."
Fenix smiled sheepishly. They continued walking until Fenix stopped at her boat. They started gathering her belongings.
When they had finished, Fenix started going through her things.
She got out a small pack for her things, and food.
"Fenix, do you still have the stone I gave you?"
She fished in her belongings, pulling out a beautiful emerald-colored jewel, carved in the likeness of a Phoenix. She smiled. "Yes. I still do." She held out the stone. Legolas picked up the stone gently.
Legolas held the stone in the sunlight. The stone glittered like a small sun. He handed it back to Fenix.
"I learned the hard way that it contained power."
Legolas looked at her, his face tinged with concern. "What do you mean?"
"The stone is an Elfstone. I learned this while traveling." She paused. "I was traveling here when I met an Orc on the road. HE challenged me and rushed me. I began to grow weary. He knocked the sword out of my hand and I fell. I thought I would die by his hand when I felt the stone start to burn. I took it out of its pouch on my neck. It flared with light and pulsed with power. It then-" She shuddered from the memory before continuing. "It disintegrated the Orc."
Legolas knelt down beside her. "I should have told you what it was."
She smiled. "It's alright. Let's finish going through these things, then we'll get the food from Galadriel and go in search of Arlena."
Legolas smiled warmly. "Alright."
