Chapter 6
Amara and Strider entered a room with a long table and two elves sitting, looking straight at them. As they went further and further into the room, a knot grew in the pit of Amara's stomach.
" Amara," said the lady sitting down, " please sit."
" Thank you," said Amara sitting down, then Strider sat down.
" I have heard many thing about you," she said.
Fear grew in Amara's eyes.
" My child it is nothing to worry about," she said, " I am Lady Galadriel, and this," pointing to the guy sitting next to her, " is my husband, Lord Celeborn."
" Did I do something wrong?" asked Amara.
" No, no, no. Lady Galadriel just wanted to meet you," said Strider.
" How old are you Amara?" asked Galadriel.
" I'm eighteen," she said.
" Where are you from?"
" A little village a few hours from the boarders," said Amara.
" Why are you here?" asked Celeborn.
Amara paused and looked at Strider.
" She was wrongly blinded by a drunk man in her village," said Strider. He then looked at Amara; she was looking down like she was to blame.
They talked for three hours before Galadriel healed her. When she healed Amara all she did was cover the blinded eye with her hand and closed her eyes and then she took her hand off the eye and Amara could see. This stunned Amara. She didn't know what to do. Really, she was scared. Strider and Amara thanked Galadriel and went on their way.
After the meeting Amara and Strider went to Amara's talon to talk about things.
" I have talked to Galadriel about you staying here," said Strider.
" Staying here," she said sitting on her bed, " without you?"
" Yes, but you will be well protected here in these boarders," said Strider.
Amara paused for a second to think about what it would be like without anyone she knew. She thought she would be an outcast like she always had been.
" I don't want to be here without you," she said.
" Why not?"
" I don't know anyone," she looking down.
Strider chuckled and said,
" You will make friends."
" No I won't. I don't make many friends," she said.
" I will introduce you to people," suggested Strider.
They didn't get to finish the conversation because one of the tailor's assistants was there with Amara's dresses. Amara looked at all the dresses and showed them to Strider.
" Well, why don't you try one on?" asked Strider.
" Now?"
" Yes. They look pretty on the hanger, but I'm sure that they would look better on you," he said.
Amara smiled and went into her bathroom and came out with a dark blue dress on with silver trimmings around the neck, sleeves, and bottom of the dress. She looked at herself in the mirror and saw her hair was a mess, so she brushed it neatly. The waves of her hair just seemed to fall back into place with every stroke. She then looked at herself in the mirror and saw she could pull off the dress. The dress fit her every curve then when it hit her waste it got looser and fell to the ground. Amara though the sleeves were the best part. The sleeves were tight to the point of her elbow and then flared out. The neckline was a V-neck.
Strider looked at her and then said,
" You look amazing."
" Thank you," she said.
" Well tonight we are going to go to a dinner and I have prepared someone to take you to get ready."
" What do you mean?"
" I mean hair, face, and all that stuff," said Strider.
" Okay, I guess," said Amara.
