Glorfindel stood at the front of the line with his troops at his back. They were all heading out on a two week mission to patrol the valley and clear it of orc parties. Once they completed that, Glorfindel would return to discuss plans of protection with Haomon and the other village leaders.
" I wish you luck," said Haomon, " If you need assistance, I have men who will be glad to accompany you."
" Thank you," said Glorfindel, " But I believe the information the trackers gave us will be sufficient enough."
With a last farewell and a nod, Glorfindel lead his troops out of the valley.
Margaret watched as Elladan and Elrohir both approached her and bid her to speak with them. She knew they had something important to say, for they did not smile or speak to each other.
" Margaret," said Elrohir, " We have something we wish to ask you."
" Yes?" asked Margaret.
The twins looked at each other and back again. Finally, Elladan preceded to explain.
" Elrohir and I are leaving tomorrow. We wish to know if you would like to accompany us?"
Margaret looked at them. She had never, not even when she first came to Arda, been outside the borders of Imladris. And she always thought that if she did leave, it would be with Glorfindel.
" We are going to see Arwen Lothlorien," said Elrohir.
Margaret bit her bottom lip and thought. If she left, chances were she would have no hope of seeing Glorfindel for a long time. If she left, she would be out of the safety and protection of Imladris. And without Glorfindel. She thought of the day she had seen that terrible orc on the borders of Elronds sanctuary. She remember the feeling of not being able to breath. She remembered the numbness and pain that she had managed to feel all at once. But most, she remembered that which had haunted her dreams the first few months she had stayed in Rivendell. The feeling of utter hopelessness.
Margaret felt tears spring to her eyes at the thought of ever seeing another orc again. She felt one of the twins put their arms around her and whisper to her.
" You do not have to go," said Elladan, " You are young yet. There will be plenty of opportunities for when you are ready."
" But I also dont want you to leave," Margaret choked out.
" Ah, Margaret," sighed Elrohir, " We will be back. I promise, we will be back."
