Chapter 14 – Encounter

During the feast, Elrond was late so Aragon went up to get him. Elrond came down with his daughter while holding a letter in his hands. He went to sit next to Thranduil and whispered something into his ears. I heard that Elrond and Arwen had to go back to Rivendell as they had some errands to run. Celeborn had arrived to Rivendell and had something to discuss with him. This means Arwen will not had a chance to see Aragon depart to the sea. Aragon looked disappointed. He looked at me and asked me if there is anywhere in Mirkwood where he and Arwen could be together tonight. He said he would want me to be there too. I was about to tell him when Arwen told me to led them to the Dark Forest. I was shocked as the Dark Forest was known for the dangerous spiders. Arwen looked at me and encouraged me to bring them there for that will the only place where nobody knows they would be there. I nod. I knew I could not changed their mind for tonight will be last night they will see each other as we were not sure that when we will return. I suggested then the falls we went the other day but Arwen did not want to go there. I agreed with Father. After the feast, when everyone was asleep and that Arwen and Aragon were waiting for me in the stable, I slipped into Father's bedroom. Father was not asleep. I told him about the Dark forest. Father let me to go but before I leave he handed me the Elvish sword he had. He told me that if I used that sword he would know that I am in trouble and that he could come to help. I put on my Elven cloak. Father advise me to be careful. I went towards the stable where Aragon and Arwen were waiting. I rode onto Bright and we rode all the way to the forest with the sword father gave me and my bow and arrows of course. We reached there and the moon was shining brightly that the forest looks bright. They told me to wait. I saw Arwen leading Aragon into the forest. I was curious so I followed them in the trees since I was good as swinging from trees to trees. Aragon was holding Arwen's hand. I could hear them whispering to each other. They reached to a huge tree and stopped there. I wondered what they were doing here. Arwen chanted a spell and the trees opened. She took out something from the inside. A Sword of the Elves in The First Age! The sword was shinning.

"My Father told me to give you this before you go and it will always be yours. We had no chance to get it for you before you go to the fellowship. Promise me you will come back. I love you and I believe that you could make it home." Said Arwen.

It was so sweet of her. As I was watching them, I heard rustling of the trees nearby. I looked around and saw something crawling on the trees. I saw something with eight legs looming towards me. I could not allow Arwen and Aragon to know that I was there for they might not let me to eavesdrop but I was just afraid that they would be in trouble. I jumped back to where I left Bright. The spider followed me. It was huge. I used me bow and shot at it. The spiders were huge and I knew that he did not feel anything. It came towards me. I took out the sword and fought with the spider. I can't fight it as it was huge. I jumped onto Bright and charged towards the spider. I saw Aragon and Arwen came out of the forest. They were shocked to see me fighting with a spider. I saw the sword shone but I did not know what it means. I saw that the surrounding was blurring and I could not see properly. I held on my heavy head. I pierced the sword into the spider's eyes. I held onto Bright and heard the sound of horse riding nearer. Darkness falls upon me and before I realize anything. What could have happened to me? I want to know. My Lord, please protect me.
