Note: Thanks for the reviews. I hope you had a nice weekend. Let's begin.
Nienna was dying to get some free air on her face. But she did not dare to risk it. She was not wearing a helm like Eowyn and Merry were but she had pulled her hood up. She suppressed a grin when she though of her father and that he would be worried very much over her and that she had escaped going to Rivendell. She did not want to be in prison any longer, she wanted to be free.
Eowyn looked at Nienna before she said. "Here you go, eat something, we will soon stop for the night. We should try to get some sleep then."
Nienna nodded and answered. "Thank you. I will be glad when we stop. I am starting to think that I should not have come with them but when I think about the goal. I am happy I did come."
Eowyn nodded fiercely. 'Yes, we will need it. We will need all the strength. Have you been trained in the art of battle?"
"No, I am not. Well not really, I thought myself most of what I now know."
"But I thought the Elves would always teach their children the art of battle? Why were you not teaches?"
'I never grew up among the Elves. I grew up as Saruman's student. When he found out that I would not budge to him, I became his slave. That was the kind of torment, I would not wish upon anybody."
"Why would he make you his slave? I don't get it."
"It is hard to explain." Nienna signed.
"I have got plenty of time, we will not stop till nightfall."
"Fine. You know the Lady Galadriel of the forest of Lorien. She is one of the few Elves that dwelt in Valinor and came back. It is like heaven to the Elves, at least that is what I heard. She was the first one who brought the White Counsel together. She had a daughter who married Elrond. Elrond and her had two sons, Elledan and Elrohir. Elrohir is my father. I am, this is what Saruman says, the heir of Galadriel. I have powers that match hers and if I would become evil those powers would create a second Era of Darkness. Don't ask me what those powers are for I do not know."
"That is weird but I would like to see that power. Tell me more about you."
"I have been his slave ever since I was 500 years old. That has been a thousand years. To the Elves, I am a mere teenager. My mother escaped and made for Galadriel, she died later." Nienna said while bowing her head. "Legolas had been taken captive a couple of months ago. I saved him and escaped with him, where I met Gandalf and Aragorn and Gimli. That is the short story of my life."
"Are you immortal or are you evil?" Eowyn asked with fear in her voice.
"I choice the light and therefor I am immortal as far as the Elves go. I cannot choice to become mortal any longer. I am good, I think." Nienna said while she looked up.
"Why do you think that? Don't you know?"
'Not for sure, I have never used my powers so, I have not seen them and therefor do not know if I would use them for good or for evil. I am still to young to decided to become good or evil. I want to be good but since nobody has even showed me how to use my powers, I do not know."
"I see, but what is if somebody would get your powers, what would happen?"
"I think I could be turned evil. But I am sure it will be fine." Nienna answered, feeling dread settle in the pit of her stomach.
"What? She has left?" Elrohir roared. If Elrond did not know his son better, he would have found this funny to watch at. Elrohir was furious with rage at the news that his daughter was nowhere in sight.
"Yes, that is the news. Now, my son, we need to leave too. We have to reach Rivendell before the Dark Lord releases his full power." Elrond said while guiding his youngest son out of the tent.
"That ungrateful little Elfling, if I get my hands on her, she will be sorry. How could she leave like that Father? She is supposed to obey me, not run of with the first Elf, she thinks, she is in love with."
"Ron, that is enough. She loves you and you know that. Nienna had found love with the Mirkwood Prince and he with her. Be glad it is Legolas and not somebody else. He will be more than able to take care of her."
"In what way father? In the way of bedding her, you mean." Elrohir said.
"Do not judge Legolas by his actions in the past. He has been hurt just like you. When I spoke to him, I could see his feelings are true towards her. He might not see them yet but they are there. You forget what your grandmother has foreseen in her mirror. If you push her away from him, then Sauron's victory will be a fact but she has the power of Galadriel and without Legolas, she will turn to evil, so pray hard that nothing happens to the prince in this war." Elrond spoke while he mounted his horse. Elrohir cursed one last time and then followed his father, while he prayed to the Valar to keep his little Elfling save.
Hope you liked it. Please review.
