Chapter 14 - The Lord and Lady of Lothlorien
We climb a winding way among the great trees. We ascend the path until night falls. In the blue glow of a moonlit night, we climb a twisting stair about the trunk of a tree, past glimmering lights of silver and blue. Far above, the silhouetted shapes of the shadowy tree-branches loom. Passing numerous platforms, they come to a great palace in the trees, lit with silvery lights. A curving walkway lies before them, leading up a low stair to an archway. We gather before the arch as Haldir steps to one side. A glowing couple, hand in hand, descend to meet us. We stare in awe. Aragorn touches his head in greeting. The light dims, and before us the Lord and Lady, Galadriel and Celeborn, halt. The Lady's eyes focus on Frodo, but Celeborn speaks. "The Enemy knows you have entered here. What hope you had in secrecy is now gone. Nine there are here, yet ten there were, set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf?" As he speaks, Galadriel's eyes flicker to Aragorn's, who looks up. "For I much desire to speak with him… I can no longer see him from afar." "Gandalf the Grey did not pass the borders of this land. He has fallen into shadow." Galadriel said, Aragorn nods slightly, Celeborn turns to his wife. "He was taken by both Shadow and Flame: a Balrog of Morgoth. For we went needlessly into the net of Moria." Legolas said as I nodded, Gimli bows his head sadly. "Needless were none of the deeds of Gandalf in life. We do not yet know his whole purpose. Do not let the great emptiness of Khazad-dûm fill your heart, Gimli, son of Glóin." He looks up as her words. "For the world has grown full of peril. And in all lands, love is now mingled with grief." Boromir turns his pained face to the Lady, blinking and swallowing hard. The Lady stares back, Boromir looks away weeping. "What now becomes of this Fellowship? Without Gandalf, hope is lost." Celeborn said, "The quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail to the ruin of all." Boromir looks back up at her, unsure. "Yet hope remains while the company is true." She said again as she looks at Sam and smiles. She glances at me, "I see, there is a girl who joins the Fellowship but you did not know, she will risk her life." The Fellowship were shocked as Galadriel said and Legolas stares at her and nodded, "I will risk my own life but why, my lady?" I asked her in that happened, "You will know it later if you come with me later." She said to me, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Go now and rest for you are weary with sorrow and much toil. Tonight you will sleep in peace." She whispers to Frodo in his mind, casting her eyes sideways at him. "Welcome, Frodo of the Shire… one who has seen the Eye!" Galadriel's eyes, the same ones that Frodo saw upon entering Lothlórien, flash through his mind again.
