"Celibana, are you alright?" I asked. It had been ten minutes since the council meeting. The Doctor had vanished, and Celibana was almost trying to appear less attractive. She seemed stressed.

"Yeah. It's just… maintaining this shield is getting harder and harder. I don't know how much longer I can hold it off for."

"Don't worry. We've got mithril arrows. We'll tell you when it's ok for you to stop. Then you can make your magic… more offensive. We can beat the Daleks. We just need more time - and that's exactly what you're providing."

"The Daleks are constantly blasting the shield. And maybe they can't feel it, but I'm getting weaker… and weaker… the more hurt the shield takes, the harder it is to maintain. They are dealing great damage to it…"

"You can do this! If anyone can do this, it's you! You have a higher magic test than Galadriel, you're the highest elf ev-"

"That's not true."

"What do you mean, that's not true?"

"My score isn't the highest ever. They based the score on a rate from 0-100, where 0 is the amount of magic an average human possesses, and then there is 100. We are the Noldor. An average Noldor scores between 60-80, which although high, is nothing compared to the Vanyar, the First Elves. They score between 70-90 on average, and their king, Ingwe, has a score of a 100. His score is the highest ever. Mine is second for ELVES alone, but there are so much more better than me."

"SO what? Ingwe has not stepped on Middle Earth's shores since the War of the Wra-"

"Neither has Manwe, or the Aratar, or any Vala. The average score for a Maia, a lesser deity, is over 500. Sauron had nearly 1000. Or an Istar, like Gandalf or Saruman, had around 850. Manwe, the Greatest of the Aratar himself has a score of over 9000. He is around one hundred times stronger than me magically."

"SO? The creator of this world and the most powerful being not in the Void is only one hundred times stronger than you! You can do this. Trust me."

"Thank you, Lasdir… you don't… know how much this means to me."
"You don't know what this means to me," I finished.
