The trio were dumbstruck to see the King of the Noldorian Elves of Lindon standing right there atop a flight of stairs.
Aragorn: Lord Gil-Galad, we come to share some vital news and request to speak with you-
The elves around him were staring at him bewildered.
- In private...please
Gil-Galad studied the trio before him with amusement and consideration
Guard: my lord, just say the word and I'll escort them back to the Gates-
Gil-Galad put his hand up to silence the guard.
Gil-Galad: and what is it You desire to speak privately about.
Gimli discreetly rolled his eyes, but Legolas noticed and smirked
Aragorn: I think it's best we talk alone Lord Gil-Galad...with all due respect
Gil-Galad: Very well, follow me.
The trio made their way up the steps and through the Doors of the Royal Noldorian Kings Palace. It was completely Silver and blue and gold, statues of the Valar lined the halls.
Legolas: This is very impressive.
Gil-Galad: yes, it is. We have to cherish it as best as we can
Aragorn: why is that Lord Gil-Galad?
Gil-Galad: because not only is this one of the last Elven realm of the west, but it's the last part of Beleriand...before it was submerged under the rushing waves.
Aragorn: This used to be part of a Beleriand? What was Beleriand.
Gil-Galad stopped in his tracks and stared wide eyed at Aragorn
Gil-Galad: you never heard of Beleriand?
Aragorn: I heard rumors of it but never was told what it was.
and with that Gil-Galad preceded to tell stories from The Kinslaying at Alqualonde , Fingolfins Journey across the Helacraxe to Beleriand, Beren and Luthiens Infiltration of Angband, and The Fall of Gondolin while walking down the great halls to the throne room.
Legolas: you were there during the Siege of Gondolin?!
Gil-Galad: yes I was, I was one o the few Survivors of the Fall, trust me when I tell you this No elf who survived that ever forgot the Shrieks of Orcs, Roars of the Dragons and Balrogs nor the Wailing of Elven children and weeping of the Elven women.
Gil-Galad froze as if he had got stabbed
Aragorn: so Turgon the previous High King of the Noldor he wielded Glamdring?
Gil-Galad: that is correct and where that Sword is now, nobody knows, it may have been destroyed in the Fires of Gondolin, sunk beneath the Waves. Nobody knows
Aragorn: so Beren...
Gil-Galad: Yes what about him?
Aragorn: he and his Elven Wife Infiltrated the Iron Fortress of the Greatest Evil Deity Morgoth?!
Gil-Galad: first of all Beren and Luthien were not married at this point and second Angband was the Iron Prison, where Beren was held captive after being captured by Sauron.
the trio just halted
Gil-Galad noticed this and turned
Gil-Galad: why the sudden halt
Aragorn: Sauron is our Greatest Enemy,but back in the first Age he was just a pawn of Morgoth?
Gil-Galad just nodded and then proceeded to open the doors to his throne room and sat on his throne while the others just sat on stools near his throne.
Gil-Galad: so about this urgency you wished to discuss with me
Aragorn: ahhh yes, you see... ...
Legolas: Lord Eru sent all three of us back to restore peace and prosper to Numenor and reclaim it for the Faithful Men who suffer there as we speak.
Aragorn looked at Legolas bewildered
Legolas: I figured if we got it all out at once it'd be much better and we'd be a lot along with this mission.
Gil-Galad: Iluvatar sent you back in time to Save Numenor?
Aragorn: that is correct Lord Gil-Galad
Gil-Galad: wonder why he would do that, doesn't he know The Sing of the Ainur will be disrupted
Aragorn: yes he made that quite clear.
Gil-Galad: so how can I be of assistance to you uhm...we never did exchange names
Aragorn: I Am King Aragorn Elessar II of Gondor and Arnor son of Arathorn, I am if Numenorean descent, a Dunédain if you will.
Gil-Galad nodded
Legolas: I am Legolas Greenleaf, Son of Thranduil King of the Woodland Realm
Gil-Galad: Ahhhh Thrainduil he makes th best wine I've ever tasted
Legolas: under no circumstances can he be make aware of my existence my lord, I hope you will be discreet with this Mission.
Gil-Galad nodded in reassurance
Gimli: I am Gimli Son of Gloin Son of Groin
Gil-Galad: ok then now that we all have introduced, what happens now?
Aragorn: We need to form an Alliance with you and Elrond, so we need you to ride to Rivendell so we can finish this meeting there and we'll meet you there.
Gil-Galad: where will you be going
Aragorn: The Great East Road
Gil-Galad looked Alarmed
Gil-Galad : Becareful Dangerous things dwell there, take weapons with you.
He pulled out swords and knives for them
Aragorn: thank you Mellon, this means so much
Gil-Galad: well I better get going to Rivendell, I shall inform Elrond of these Events and keep them discreet details. Till next we meet
with that. Gil - Galad walked out of the Throne room
Gimli: so what now
Aragorn: We borrow three horses and find our weapons of the great east road then head to Rivedell.
