Chapter Thirty-Two
Lady Galadriel's Decision
~~~POV-REYNA LINDELE~~~
Legolas had departed a day ago and now I had to speak with the Lady and Lord of the Wood. I walked up and embraced Lord Celeborn, "Ada."
He smiled sweetly, "Edhelai." {Small elf.}
I bowed politely to Lady Galadriel as we sat around a glass table. Haldir, Rumil and Orophin sat across from me. I smiled politely. "Lady Galadriel; Rivendell, Mirkwood, Glacia, Gondor and Rohan are going to war. I am here as a representative of their alliance and I am asking you to join us. Uruk-hai have attack Rivendell and Glacia and they have gone so far as to assassinate King Thranduil." The Lord and Lady grimaced.
"Go on." Galadriel's voice was tense.
"Around two thousand humans are expected from Gondor. I have thirty Fae who can battle whilst the others guard Glacia. You have full permission to send any and all the elflings or unarmed elven maidens to the Hollow." Galadriel nodded, she knew exactly what I spoke of. "Two hundred or so warriors are coming from Mirkwood, one hundred or so coming from Rivendell and I know that I could easily march out of here with eight hundred of Lorien's fighters without putting you at any risk."
Galadriel nodded, "This is true. What, pray tell, is your plan and who is your enemy though? Are you even sure the Uruk-hai have a leader?"
My eyes darkened, "His name is Rauko. He captured me on my journey here. I escaped but was not able to kill him during that time." Haldir's eyes widened slightly. He knew how well I fought. I continued, "We are planning to storm his fortress. I believe it to be in the forests near Fangorn."
Galadriel sighed, "Where is this all to be discussed?"
A smile crossed my face, "The Council of Rivendell will be held in six days. Elrond postponed it just for Lothlorien."
Celeborn muffled a laugh as I tried to make the Lady guilty. She smiled, "Fine. You shall have your army on one condition. You, Haldir and Lirawen must lead it. I will not let those two do it alone, nor will I let you."
My brows furrowed and I shrugged, "Of course Lady. Diola lle." {Thank you.} I turned to Celeborn, "Diola lle."
He smiled, "Get some rest, you look exhausted."
I laughed. "I am." I walked out and sent word to Rivendell.
'Dear Arwen,
The Lady of Light has granted me eight hundred men and Haldir, Lirawen and I will be attending the council. The troops will be prepared by then and we will be ready to march to Edoras after the council. I will see you in three days for I am leaving at dawn. Vanya sulie tenna' telwan. {Fair winds until then.}
Sincerely,
Reyna'
~~~POV CHANGE-ELESSAR TELCONTAR~~~
I nodded to Eomer as we trekked over the hills of Rohan. With three thousand and some troops in tail, we were unstoppable. I sat high in my saddle and began to think about Arwen. 'I hope she hasn't changed too much.' I had sent word to Rivendell that we were going to take camp near Fangorn while I went to the council to represent Eomer and I. The council was two days from now and we were only an hour or so from Fangorn. It would be a hard ride to make it but I would. I turned to Eomer, "I had best take off now."
He nodded, "A safe journey to you."
I smiled and waved to the troops, "For Gondor!" An unnumbered amount of shouts echoed my cry. A grin crossed my face and I rode hard towards Rivendell.
~~~POV CHANGE-LEGOLAS GREENLEAF~~~
I smiled faintly at Ariane, "How has the training gone?"
Ariane sighed, "Well but not good enough."
A sigh escaped my lips. "I see. Are they not motivated, or s here another problem?"
Ariane looked up, "Legolas, they are still mourning Thranduil and many of them do not understand why you are not."
Blue fire light in my eyes, "Not mourning!? You don't think I am mourning my own father's death?! What do you think I am? A monster!? Ariane, every night I weep for the loss of my father. After loosing my older brother, both of them, Thranduil and Loraine were all I really had left. Now all I have is Loraine and she is a wife now."
Ariane blushed lightly, "We have been your family Legolas. We know your oldest brother died by the hand of the orcs and that Lorei deserved what he got. Thranduil was a peaceful elderly man though, Legolas. He posed no threat to anyone but he was killed anyway."
I grew cross, "By the hand of the very man I seek to kill! You will follow me or be banished from Mirkwood as charged with treason. King Thranduil was a glorious man who was slaughtered so that I would come to the throne when I least expected it. This will not happen, I am prepared to rule!"
My fair sister slipped into the room. "Toror', amin lava. Lle naa Haron." {Brother, I yield. You are king.}
I smiled at her and motioned for her to rise from her bow. "Diola lle. At least some people are loyal to me."
Ariane gave me a cold stare, "I will remain by my wife but you better remember that I do not agree with this at all. We do not need to loose anymore of our people to these beasts!"
A chill glazed my heart, "Ariane! I am king now; you will address me as such! And, never am I to here you speak against my orders again! I will learn to be more careful in choosing those who I believe are loyal to me." I glared, "And if you think two hundred people from Mirkwood is too many, than go tell that to Galadriel! She is giving up eight hundred of her finest troops for this cause Lord!"
The bright green eyes stared back at me angrily, "As you wish, my King." He bowed and departed.
Loraine remained in the room as I let out a deep breath and sighed, "Curse it! Why must this happen?"
Her soft hands rested on my shoulders as she massaged me, "It will all be alright, you will see. Time will mend things."
I turned to her, "War will mend things." She nodded, much to my surprise.
"Let us talk of something better. When are you going to get the guts to ask Reyna?"
My brow furrowed, "Ask her what?"
"To marry you!" My sister voice was full of musing laughter.
I turned, "I am not sure that marriage is something she wants."
Loraine laughed, "She loves you Legolas. Just be kind and patient if you need to. Don't give her up. She may be your Other."
Air caught in my throat. "You think she may be my Other? I doubt it...she does not seem to think so anyway."
My sister gave me a warm smile, "Time will tell. Just have faith Legolas."
I nodded, "Of course sister. Thank you." She smiled and walked out of the room. I laid down to rest and my dreams were sweet. I dreamed of the day when I could finally ask Reyna the burning question I had.
~~~POV CHANGE-HALDIR OF LORIEN~~~
I rode out with Reyna and Lirawen. Behind us were eight hundred of the finest elven soldiers. Rivendell was our destination for now. Talk of war filled the ranks and a high moral lifted the spirits of everyone in Lothlorien. I waved goodbye to the Golden Wood and prayed I would see it again. Something told me that I was going to lose something in this battle, though I did not know what. I strapped my red cape on and turned to Reyna.
She was wearing Fae armor. Beautiful silver armor that shined lustrously. It looked much like the armor of Lorien but it was silver, thinner, and made only for women. Her cape was navy blue and she wore no helmet. Kemi had protective armor on her head, as did my horse and Lirawen's. Lirawen wore the armor of Lothlorien but a emerald cape, signifying second in command, flared behind her. The rest of the men wore their helmets and armor proudly as we marched towards Rivendell.
War was inevitable now. Victory was certain. The death toll was a mystery and whom we would mourn was going to devastate me. This I did not know yet...and if I had I would have never let her go.
