Where we left off last chapter;

"I had to grow up fast when my father was killed I was left to fend for my self before momma found me and took me in and showed me how to live again. If it wasn't for Ka- Silimarian I probably would not be alive right now. She saved me from the Hiten brothers that killed my father. Oops sorry Kagome uh I mean Silimarian." Shippo apologized for telling more then needed to be kown.

" My lady why does he call you Ka Go Me is not your name Silimarian?" Haldir stopped looking back waiting for her to reply.

"Yes Haldir my given name is Silimarian but my friends call me Kagome the name my adoptive parents gave to me when they found me." Kagome looked him in the eye showing the truth on her face.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the trio walked on in silence. Kagome was leading Swift Foot following closely behind Shippo and Haldir as they made their way to the middle of the forest to the city of Lorien. After an hour of walking they saw the Elven City and Kagome stopped in her tracks. Awestruck at the beauty of the trees and homes in them. Realizing that she was falling behind she picked up her pace and came beside Shippo and Haldir. There they were meet by another elf that led Swift Foot to the stables and they continued to follow Haldir. They were led up the top most balcony and waited for the arrival of the Lord and Lady of the Wood.

"This is where I must leave you my Lady Silimarian and Young Shippo" Haldir bowed his head to both then turned to leave.

"Thank you for leading us here Haldir your kindness shall not go with out reward." Kagome nodded her head back to him before watching him turn and leave.

Haldir turnednodded tohis guests then made his way down the stairs . Kagome ans Shippo watched him decend the long fight of stairs before their attention was interupted by a bright light. Both shielded their eyes before looking into the light ,slowly two figures appeared. Two elves a man and a woman both fair haired came to them.

"Ah my dear Silimarian you have finally returned to us. A day for joy that the long lost daughter of Manwe is returned to her people. Do not worry child your secret is safe with me, for you should not be so forward with your identity. Please allow me to welcome you to my home." Lady Galadriellooked upon Kagome with searching eyes before smiling softly at her.

"My Lady Galadriel it is good to be here among my people once more. I too believe that I should not go by my given name for it is far to dangerous of times to reveal my heritage unless need be. I will go by Kagome as my friends and adoptive family once called me. And thank you for your hospitality."Lady Galadriel looked up at Kagome in surprise to being answered backin her mind

"Greetings Shippo and Kagome you have traveled far through time and spaceto be here. Rest and enjoy your time here for soon the time to relax will be past and dangers await." Lady Galadriel looked down at the young child with kindness in her eyes.

" Ah my young Shippo you are far brave and wise for your age. Please do not let your heart be troubled for you are now home, you are to be known as Prince Shippo son of Lady Silimarian Princess to the Valar. I see great deeds in the future for you." Galadriel then looked back up to Kagome walking toards her.

"Come I will have a servant show you to your rooms to refresh yourselves.Once you have refreshed and eaten.I willhave a servant escort you to me ,wherewe willthen discuss your plans of travel." Lady Galadriel walked towards the door where an elleth then took the two travelers to a room.

When Kagome and Shippo arrived in their room they saw a bath waiting for each of them along with fresh garments. Both took their time in washing before coming back to the sitting room .Where there was a table with food laid out for them to eat. Both ate their fill of food before they rested for a few hours. Before either one could fall asleep they heard a knock on the door. The same elleth that led them to their room waited outside their door to take them to Galadriel's chambers. For their meeting with the lady to discuss their plans of travel.Kagome and Shippo were greeted by Lady Galadriel with a nod before walking into the room.

"Sit please for we have much to discuss.'' Galadriel gestured towards two chairs placed before her.Waiting for them to get settled before begining her discussion.

"You have been told of the dangers that are now in Middle Earth by Midoriko correct? And you know that if your identity should be revealed and if Sauron found out that you were here he would send out his best men to find you and capture you. For this reason you cannot stay here. There is to be a counsel in Rivendell ina weekstime. I believe that it would be in your best interest to attend this counsel for much will be revealed and prophecies become true!" Lady Galadriel looked at Kagomewaiting forher response.

"Yes I have been told of the great evil that has come to this world and part of a great prophecy that has to do with me. I am well aware of these dangers and agree with you that I am not safe here, for I do not wish to bring trouble to you or your people. I will set out at once for Rivendell in hopes that I will make it there in time for the counsel!" Kagome looked don at Shippo to see that he agreed with her choice. When he nodded his head with determination she then looked back at Galadriel. "Thank you for allowing us to rest here and giving counsel to us. We will depart this afternoon in hopes to make a swift and safe journey."

"My dear you have the strength of your father and the beauty and wisdom of your mother, you are indeed the daughter and Princess of the Valar. I pray that your journey is safe and that the roads are fast. I give to you these gifts in hope that they will aid you in your journey." Galadriel then waved her hand.Two servants carryingseveral itemsentered the room and laid their supplies at their feet.

So Galadriel gave unto Shippo and Kagome two capes. To Shippo she gave a short sword that was inlaid with gold and encrusted with red jems on the handle. And to Kagome she gave a bow made from the wood of the golden trees in Lorien. Along with packs filled with lambas bread and water skins for their journey. And so Kagome and Shippo gave their good byes and mounted Swift Foot and departed for Rivendell.

Author's note:

Hey there everyone. I realised that I had several mistakes the first time I wrote this chapter. I hopefully fixed most of them and added a little bit more detail . Many reviewers said that this chapter sounded a bit rushed.I am working on revising the other chapters as well.

Thanks
