Haldir's Heart & Soul
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! You always get me happy to know that at least someone is reading my story! So this is basically for you. So feel happy because if it were not for you this story would not even exist! Thanks!
NO FLAMES! Maybe that's my problem? All the people who read this want to flame me so they just don't review?
Can I Come Along?
Haldir looked up at the sky as he tried to rise from the chair he had fallen asleep in. he looked towards the bed but realized she was no longer there. Then his ears caught the voices that spoke in the next room. Haldir crept slowly to the heavy door and tried to listen in to the conversation.
"I did not mean to keep him from his duty, my uncle." Naomie's voice drifted happily through the door.
"I understand perfectly. The only concern is ... Well ... WHY? He was ASLEEP in your room. If you do not, of cores, mind us asking." Lord Celeborn's voice traveled in, it held concern.
Ah! Haldir thought. So they were talking about him. Haldir leaned even closer to the door so that he could hear everything. Then Haldir began to ponder that question. Why had he been here? The answer came to him quickly; he was there because of Naomie's little cry last night that was all.
"It was nothing that you must worry about. He was just here incase I needed anything." Naomie said, her voice was flat and if it were anyone else the conversation would have been over.
"Good. But I am afraid that our March Warden must return to his duty today." Galadriel's voice said in an even tone with sympathy lasing the sentence.
"About that. I have a question to inquire to the both of you ... may I go with him?" the last spoken words shook Haldir and to the silence that was laid heavy in the next room, it must have also startled Galadriel and Celeborn as well.
"Well ... I see nothing to stop you. You have my permission." Galadriel's voice echoed.
"Oh no! It is out of the question. No!" Celeborn said to the contrary.
Haldir stood there listening to the conversation that had now turned into an argument between Galadriel and Celeborn. Which did he want? Did they even care of what he thought? After all, Naomie would be bothering HIM. The least hey could do is ask his input. Part of Haldir, the very small part that he never listened to, wanted her to go, among other things. But the largest majority, the cool calm and collected side, screamed hollered and yelled absolutely not. She was a female for heavens sake! Accompanying a March Warden was a serious business. The borders were no place for a female, especially a princess. Then the memories of his mother flashed through his head. Haldir quickly shoved those horrible memories back into the depths of his mind and turned back to the door.
"My dear husband, she has proven that she is more ready for the borders more than once. After all, her child hood was one of fear and war. She even proved a fare match between your most prized March Wardens." Galadriel's voice brought Haldir out of his inner battle. Was he the prized March Warden that the lady spoke of?
"Haldir had been over worked and had been on those bloody boarders for well over a month when she came apone him. My darling, you may be able to keep your ground with only three orc's hunting you, but you must understand, those boarders, all sides, are attacked by companies of orc's and what is worse, Uruk-Hai!" Celeborn argued.
"But still, she and Haldir seem to have a good ... compatible ... personality trait that will help them work together. I think it may do Haldir some good. Besides. Rumil seems to like her. And you need another ranger out with them since Orphin has taken leave to Imladris. She could easily be a substitute for him. And it would be for a short time." Galadriel explained.
Haldir found himself glaring at the door. Celeborn would certainly say yes now. Damn Galadriel and her quick thinking! Haldir needed to stop this female from coming with him.
"Very well. We should at least wait for Haldir's input on the matter." Celeborn told her.
Naomie had been quiet up until now and then erupted. "But uncle!!!! Haldir will most certainly say no!" Naomie said desperately.
"Well it all rests on his shoulders." Celeborn said in a firm tone.
Haldir figured this was his queue to make an intrance. Haldir walked through the door and into the sitting room.
Galadriel sat next to Celeborn in the two chairs opposite Naomie across the small table. Haldir shrugged off his wrinkled black tunic as he bowed. Celeborn and Galadriel gleamed in there normal robes. The study was bright and Haldir had to blink quite a lot to focus onto Naomie who sat in the middle of the suns beam.
Naomie sat with a hopeful gaze on her features. Haldir gave the most arrogant look that he could master and turned to his lord and lady.
"Haldir we have a question for you and the decision you make will be written in stone. Now please take your time and consider this. And remember that this arrangement, if agreed apone will only last a week. So you must decide quickly." Galadriel said in her misty voice.
"Now Haldir, the question is ... would you allow lady Naomie to substitute for your brother, Orphin for just this week? Naomie has expressed how much she would enjoy it." Celeborn said calmly.
Haldir thought quickly.
"Absolutely not! She is a female and –"
Haldir was cut off when Galadriel spoke to him in his mind, a thing that Haldir quite hated about his lady. Actually the only thing.
' Now Haldir, do not be so stubborn. You two need time. Allow her to go.' Galadriel commanded in his head.
"I suppose she can accompany me." Haldir sighed.
"Well this is wonderful! My dear, pack your things for the week. That you shall spend on the boarders." Celeborn said defeated. "Haldir you will meet myself, Galadriel, and Naomie in the stables in a half of an hour. Your brother is already on duty." Celeborn commanded.
With one swift nod Haldir swept out of the room mentally kicking himself for allowing Galadriel to sway his opinion. Haldir swept into his room. He quickly moved to his wardrobe and pulled out all the same uniforms and quickly pilled them all into his travel bag. He removed his black shirt and replaced it with another one and then donned a grey tunic. Haldir sighed as he placed his quiver on his back and strapped his sward to his hip. The last thing grabbed was his bow. With all in hand Haldir trudged off to the stables. He was interrupted, to his dismay, by a smiling Vanity.
"Haldir!" she cried as she wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him close.
Thankfully there was a huge difference in height and Haldir easily towered over her. He wriggled out of her grasp.
"I have no time." Haldir explained as he began walking away.
"Oh! My brave Haldir is going off to protect me!" the she elf exclaimed as her group of friends began to giggle madly.
Haldir was running out of time.
"Vanity, first off, I am not 'yours'. I have never been and most likely will never be 'yours'. Second off, I do not have the time or the will power to put up with you." Haldir growled as the group of girls behind Vanity began to whisper.
Haldir had never seen a more vicious face in all his life. Vanity was obviously enraged. Without finding out how mad she was, Haldir raced down to the stables. His mood was darkened even farther when he reached the outside and was promptly hit with a mixture of snow and rain. Haldir was soon in the stables where Celeborn, Galadriel, and Naomie waited.
"Ah so you have decided to show up after all." Naomie said.
Haldir scowled at her then turned to Celeborn.
"Now Haldir, you are to ride to the river Nantia. There you will leave your horses and continue on foot." Celeborn explained. Haldir nodded until he realized there was only one horse.
"My lord ... where is the other horse?" Haldir asked.
"The rain is too heavy. It will be easier if you and my niece ride on the same one." Celeborn explained.
Both Haldir and Naomie stared at Celeborn. He and Galadriel shared knowing glances then ushered for Haldir's black steed to be brought out. Haldir just stared as Celeborn helped Naomie on. Her bag was much smaller than Haldir's and he just realized that she wore leather riding chaps and a white tunic with a black traveling wool cloak around her small frame. Not allowing this to stop him, Haldir quickly hoped onto his horse behind her. Feeling her tense as he slid to sit right up against her back Haldir grinned. This would be an opportune time to repay Naomie for the humiliation she had caused him in front of his men and everyone else at that dinner.
"Now if you wish to come back, you tell Haldir and he will see to it you are brought home." Galadriel told Naomie who had been abnormally silent since this morning.
"Then you are off. Haldir, I am trusting you to protect my niece." Celeborn ordered.
Haldir almost rolled his eyes. Not only did he have to take her, but now she had to be baby sat by him as well. He better be getting a good promotion for all this. With a nod Haldir kicked into his horses sides and they were gone.
"So ... did you by chance notice the grin on our March Wardens face?" Galadriel asked.
"Indeed I did. I wonder what he is up to." Celeborn said thoughtfully.
"Whatever it is, I am shore Naomie shall not approve." Galadriel said as the lord and lady smiled and turned to leave.
Welp that is all! NO FLAMES! All flames shall find there way to Mt. Doom, where they become Saron's problem and not mine.
