Just after the 27th anniversary of the death of Haldir, the King and Queen of both Gondor and of Rohan welcomed daughters into the world at precisely the same time. The tiny princesses were laid in the same cradle and were bonded in sisterly love, for they would be become the best of friends. Queen Arwen took her daughter, who was born with uncommonly silvery locks, into the woods near the City. The trees and the stars greeted the Queen and the little princess.
"I shall call you Celebel, my Silver Star."
Many lords and ladies came from all across Middle-Earth to pay tribute to the little Princesses. Eldarion, a grown man of 20 summers proudly stood watch over his sister, just as he had Elentari 16 summers before.
As the child grew, her love of the woods did also. Celebel was not content to stay in the city and live the life of a princess. She longed to be out among the trees. Arwen saw this, and knew there was no way to keep the child in the City.
The brothers Orophin and Rumil came down out of the Golden Woods at the bidding of Queen Arwen.
"My Lady," Rumil said, bowing low to greet the Queen.
"Oh stop it, it's just Arwen." Orophin laughed.
Arwen laughed with them. Celebel, a child of 2 summers, who had just escaped the clutches of her nanny, ran into the room and latched onto her mother's skirt.
"Nana! Nana! Nana!"
"What is it?" Arwen asked, bending down to talk to the child.
"I am sorry My Lady, it won't happen again." Elanor said, taking the child by the hand.
"Its alright, I was going to call for her anyway. You are free to go Elanor." Arwen said.
"Yes, My Lady." Elanor said, hurrying out of the room.
"She's beautiful, Arwen" Rumil said.
"She is, what's her name?" Orophin agreed.
"Celebel" Arwen smiled.
"The brothers are completely taken with her." Aragorn Elessar laughed, entering the room.
"Ada!" the little girl squealed. Aragorn swept the child into his arms and spun her around.
"Woods!" Celebel demanded.
"Your Ada has work he needs to be doing." Arwen laughed, taking Celebel from Aragorn.
"Perhaps you should tell the brothers why you brought them here." Aragorn said before dropping a kiss on Celebel's forehead and another on Arwen's lips. Arwen shooed him out of the room and back to his kingly duties.
"So, my friends. I suppose you are wondering why I called you here." Arwen laughed.
"Elf?" Celebel asked.
"Yes, little one. This is Rumil and Orophin, wardens of the Golden Woods." Arwen laughed, putting the child back down. Celebel sauntered over to the two elves and looked up at them.
"Up," she demanded.
Rumil looked at Arwen and then back down to the little princess.
"Up!" Celebel said again.
"Pick her up little brother." Orophin laughed.
"I...uh..." Rumil stuttered.
"Go on, you won't break her." Arwen laughed. Rumil bent down to pick her up and the little princess latched onto him.
"Woods, now." Celebel said.
"Just a moment child," Arwen laughed. "I'm sure the nice Elves will take you to the Woods."
"You were about to tell us why you brought us here." Orophin reminded.
"I brought you here because the servants are at their wits end with the little one. She always wants to be out in the Woods and I would like you two to become her Guardians." Arwen said. Rumil looked stunned.
"We will gladly accept your proposal" Orophin laughed.
"I hoped you would. Now, off with you and stay out of trouble." Arwen said, shooing them toward the door.
