Chapter 6
All of Lorien was buzzing with the news that Orophin and Amarië were getting married. Even the Lady Galadriel herself was helping with certain preparations. But more than anything the young elf maids were going crazy. Weddings were a time when loved blossomed and most young maids found their future spouses at weddings. Amarië smiled and tried to tune out their useless chatter and focused on Orophin.
She smiled as she imagined him in his wedding attire, how handsome he would look. She thought of how all the young maids would fawn over how lovely she looked in her wedding dress and how jealous they would be of her. She daydreamed of the wedding, the feasting that would ensue after that and then the wedding night. She blushed deeply and decided not to think on that too much.
Surprisingly enough, the thought of making love to Orophin terrified her. She didn't know why, she loved him completely but whenever she thought about them together her heart nearly stopped.
She was soon broken from her reverie as the Lady Galadriel summoned her. Amarië smiled and bowed respectfully. "Greetings my lady." Galadriel smiled and motioned for her to sit down in a chair. Amarië sat and looked on curiously as Lady Galadriel pulled out a piece of jewelry and handed it to her. "This is my gift to you dear one. May it serve you well." Amarië smiled and bowed deeply. "Oh, thank you my lady!" "It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen."
Amarië smiled as she hurried back to her talan to finish her wedding dress. She didn't want anyone to help her on her dress, she wanted it to be a surprise. She sat down and sighed, completely happy and in love. She quickly grabbed a needle and thread and started sewing.
