Gimli and Galadriel's Journals
By Sashi Mizumoto
A/N: Well, I guess I'll edit this whole story today, and maybe add some new chapters into this. I'm not sure, I'll decide later. It's already the longest Gimli/Galadriel love story, I think. …Yes it is. However, it is far from the best. I can't wait to finish redoing this story, I'm so excited. Ok, here's the next chapter!
Chapter 2: Galadriel's Journal
Galadriel sat on her throne gently, feeling a slight case of boredom overcoming her. She decided to push this away by writing in her journal, which she rarely wrote in. She took out a quill and refilled it with blue ink that was on the nearby table. She pressed the quill on the paper and let her delicate handwriting decorate the page.
Dear Journal,
Yesterday, when talking to Frodo about the ring and his destiny, I spotted Gimli, the dwarf, watching me with interest. I was a little shocked, but hid my feelings. I had actually grown a soft spot for him, though I was not quite sure why. I cannot let anyone know though, so I had best keep this journal in an extraordinarily secure place. Enemies could use this information for their own purposes. But, even then, what about Celeborn, my husband? I love him, just not as much as Gimli. More like a close relative or a dear friend. Yet once an elf chooses a spouse, the decision sticks with him/her forever. Nevertheless, inside, I feel my heart shatter to pieces. If Celeborn loved me like he claims to, he should let me run free, and be with the one I love. Why should I have no say in my own life? Oh Gimli. Gimli's strong face makes me smile, just as much as his tough voice. Though he is very petite, He is quite strapping. On the other hand, would burly be more of the correct term? Either way, there is something exceptional about him. His dark small eyes reveal that there is something stalwart going on in his mind and heart. Perhaps he is distressed by something and can tell no one. Oh, how I wish to tell him of these thoughts. However, what if he has a love already? Moreover, this seems very possible to me. He has such an interesting personality and he is so kind. Perhaps he has strong dwarf woman for a wife whom he can spend the rest of his days with. Should I tell him soon? It is morning though and the sun has not even risen. Why must fate be so cruel as to tear him away from my side so quickly? I yearn that he could stay here longer. However, I shall probably never even see him again after this day. All I will have left of him are my memories. And even memories do not last forever. Why can I not be with my true love? Oh Gimli…
Galadriel felt despondency rousing up inside of her and was certain that that was enough writing for today. She closed the small little blue book and hid it back inside of her cushion of the chair. She positioned herself back onto the throne and resumed her stiff position, her mind wandering on Gimli. She let out a tear and wiped it away quickly, not letting her face show any emotions. The Lady of the Wood could not show weakness.
End of Chapter 2: Galadriel's Journal
A/N: My, that was so much shorter than the previous chapter. O.o Oh well. XD Well, the third chapter is coming up now. Maybe I'll just add one more chapter to this, I'm not sure. We will see.
