As she lie in Sesshoumaru's castle, a dream found Alcarin, a vision sent by the Lady Galadriel. She called her to Valinor to the restful enchanting forests of Lorien. The land was ageless, untouched by shadow nor sorrow. The great golden trees were ancient as the stars themselves. The grass was as the color of emerald, and peace and rest was there. Golden flowers shone about the ground as the sun shone upon them. Not one cloud marred the beauty of the blue sky. Birds with the most incredible voices sang from the golden trees, filling the land with blissful music. Clothed in white, a golden and silver circlet upon her brow, and as beautiful as she remembered her, the sun shining in her golden hair, making it glisten and shine like a jewel, stood Galadriel. Her eyes were those of pale saphire, reflecting light in glorious ways. In her face the light of Valinor shone once more, and her skin was as the moon, pale, and illuminated with it's own light. The color of her lips was the color of a pale pink rose. She beckoned Alcarin to come.

Alcarin came to stand before her. Bowing she said, "My lady." She found that she was not clothed in her mail but in an elven gown of white and silver, as like to the garments she once doned when you lived in Lothlorien long ago. Galadriel spoke, her voice musical and deep. " It was folly for you to seek the Blessed Shores, my Alcarin (resurrection in High Quenya, Norenturin's first name, Norenturin is surname but uses it as first). Where you not warned against such a useless quest?" "Despair and weariness drove me, my Lady. Darkness persues me, even though my secret is hidden from it. It is drawn to me, percieving something of me. But, my lady, I fear I am in peril. Only to the wise was my burden revealed, and the treacherous one who was head of that council, Saruman, has somehow been reserected." she answered.

"And you wish to know how this came to be." "Yes." "I have had knowledge of this thing. The deamon your companions are pursuing, Naraku, has brought it to be. He bares the largest piece of what is known as the Sacred Jewel. Though the jewel is not whole, even the shards of it contain power. By a spell of Shadow and a shard of this jewel, Naraku resserected Saruman."spoke Galadriel. "But why would this deamon, this Naraku, wish to resserect him? How could he even know of him? Is not the whole of the lands we knew unknown to those who's lands I have come to?"Alcarin asked. "Rather much of what little was known has been lost. Our lands have been sundered for many ages. But we of the Westren Shores are not the only ones who speak through visions, Alcarin. Though inclosed in the Void of Time, Morgoth can still send visions. But Naraku knows nothing of this. The message only remained with him. I have percieved in his mind that he believes that he found this Saruman by training his thoughts on those with power whom he could reserect and control.

By holding the rest of the Jewel, Naraku has power over Saruman and by that shard contained in that traiter's flesh, he is bound to Naraku and is under his control. When Saruman saw you with the dog deamon, Sesshoumaru, he knew you were Numenorean, and wondered how you came so far east. Fortunately, when Saruman lost his form and most of his power in the Shire, Eru erased his knowledge of you, but not of the prophecy. And all his knowlege is being drawn from him now even as we have spoken here. Naraku will pursue you, wanting to overtake you and control you. He will pursue you even as your new friend Sesshoumaru and his brother, the half-deamon InuYasha, who guards the only three Jewel shards that are kept free from Naraku's grasp. I also have this to tell you. Sesshoumaru is descendant of Huan the Hound of Valinor, who fathered children before he left Valinor. The spirit of Huan is in him. Do you remember what I told you about yourself and a son of Huan?"

After she spoke the vision vanished. It had been 2 days since the battle at the falls. Alcarin opened her eyes and heard Sesshoumaru chanting something softly. As she opened her eyes and looked at him she had to fight blushing. Yes, she remembered what Galadriel revealed to her in Lothlorien long ago. That she would find her soul mate, would fall in love with a son of Huan.
