This is chapter two of my story.

Rein of Hope
Chapter 2: Stay

As Nelinde regained conciseness the first thing that she felt was the pain in her stomach. She just bit her lower lip she would not scream out for that was a sigh of weakness. She was strong she was a elf warrior. She noticed that she was on a horse and that someone was behind her. Nelinde slowly opened her eyes and a moan escaped her lips she mentally slapped her self for doing so. She did not know where she was and it would not be smart to let them know that she was awake.

"We are almost at are destination hold on." a soft voice whispered in her ear. For it was in elvish. At least she now knew that she was somewhat safe so she let herself fall back into unconciseness. When Nelinde awoke once more she was in a bright room with elaborate paintings on the ceiling. As she looked to her right she saw that Isorfir was asleep by her side. She smiled inwardly at the look of peace on his face. For she missed home and her younger sister. She just wanted to get home as fast as possible. She held her brothers had and closed her eyes and breathed in but instantly stopped when there was a sharp pain in her stomach so she squeezed her brothers had trying to ease the pain and to stop from yelping out pain. Nelinde did not notice her grip on Isorfir's hand until he shot up and tried to pull his hand out of her grip. "Let go Nelinde." he breathed. She instantly let go muttering her apologies. 'Go back to sleep you still need to rest." he said calmly taking his seat back. "I am not tired I think I will have a walk." Nelinde said sitting up in her bed.

"I do not think so Lord will be back and you had better be in you bed or father will have my head." Isorfir told her. "Oh please father will be just fine and so will I so if you don't mind I am leaving and there is nothing you can do about it. Besides what father doesn't know he can't yell at you for so I will be back before he comes back. And don't worry I wont get lost." Nelinde then started to get out of bed and walked toward the door. As she opened it she had collided with a solid object. As she looked up she saw that it was her father and some other elf who she presumed that it was Lord Elrond that Isorfir was talking about.

Isorfir was sitting in his chair with his head in his hands. "Nell what are you doing out of bed. And your wounds have not fully healed." Amolas said sternly. "Um. I was going for a walk to ease my legs." Nelinde said slowly so to make it seems if she was totally innocent.
"That will be the last thing you do for now so you best get back in bed and let Lord Elrond check your wounds."
"That would not be necessary if I had my necklace but it seems as if it had been taken off my neck when you know very well that it should not be for that is the last thing that you would want father." Nelinde said in a low voice as if not to anger him already.
"get in bed right now." He said in a tone that she quickly obeyed him. As she sat down in her bed Elrond had come around with a smirk on his face. A her bent to examine her wounds. "you are lucky you had a clean cut." Elrond said as he recovered he wound.

He got up and sat in the corner "but you will have to rest for a few hours for it is not good to reopen them."
"If I had…" she started
"Don't even I took it off for that exact reason and left it a secure place outside the boundaries of Rivendell so don't even go ask for it." Amolas said
" What is it that you are even quarrelling about I would like to know." Elrond asked totally confused
"Nell's Rawien's she keeps one wherever she goes." Isorfir said who was quiet the whole time.
"You still have me at a loss." Elrond admitted.
"Do you know of the guardians of the Lands of the North?" Amolas asked.
"Yes of course."

"They say that they dwell in the woods near our home. It is that they do but they do not roam freely, they have a protector and master who has the power to control them and the life to stay with them forever. So as Nelinde found out when she was very young that she had the gift to control. She used it to her larger advantage by having them protect our lands. For none shall dare to step into our lands without having their life taken away." Amolas explained " As time went by Nell found out that she did not have to control them to have power of them and for them to obey her. The guardians had become fond of her so she gave them the name Rawien. These creatures are not only for bad as everyone expects but they can heal. If you are at your last breath the Rawien's can bring you back to good health. They are very powerful. I would hate to see the day that someone would dare to go against them for they have the power to kill of an army in lest then 5 minutes."

"Well I certainly not going to be one of them." Elrond said " We should let the lady get her rest for we have many matters to discuss Amolas." They all Left her to get her sleep so she closed her eyes and let the dreams take her."

In the Early morning as Nelinde awoke a maid had walked into her room a few minutes later. He bathed and dressed Nelinde into a gown and did her hair into two long braids extending down past her waist. Her dress was blue and was strapless. It had a light layer to go on top. It had hand sewn rhinestones with a split that stopped mid thigh. The top was hart shaped and fit to her every curve.
As she got up and left to the courtyard she saw that they had a Arrow range. She instantly cursed having this dress on. She would love to practice. As she turned to go sit at the lake she saw the most beautiful creature she had ever seen to gracefully walk middle earth.
