Me A Member of the Galadhrim!

Unknown POV:

She held her breath as Lady Galadriel explained the situation, not mentioning who Jane truly was.

Haldir a little hesitant at first, Jane was worried that this idea would just turn into another mess, but in the end it just turned out that he was not excited about training me. He eventually coincided with Galadriel, and decided that I should begin training at once, which the Maia agreed with completely.

The elf, and woman bowed and left the talan of Celeborn, and Galadriel. On their way back down the stairs Haldir stopped and looked directly at her.

"You should know, that I am not very happy with this decision, you will be the first mortal allowed to fight with our elite army of the white Lady." He told me frowning. "But do not think that I do not believe you are unfit for this task, but it will take over a month, to teach you all that the eldar know, and. So let us begin." He looked at me smiling. I suddenly felt a feeling of dread enter my stomach. Suddenly I was wondering if this was a good idea or not, I mean I could be away on duty when Aragorn and the others show up, so….

I bit my tongue. "Yes, what would you have me do Lord Haldir?" I asked with a little uncertainty. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

"Very good, you show some nervousness, with out anticipation you will not be able to fight and you will fail utterly." He paused than added.

"The first part of your training will to run the steps of Caras Galdhon, until you have my permission to stop. This will heighten your speed, and agility, and it is crucial for what we do. Begin." He ordered.

She wanted to protest but somehow She knew it would not do any good. Jane took a deep breath and ran up the rest of the steps, panting as she reached the top this was not working. Feeling pride enters her, she thought: I will prove to him that I, Mithril am able to do this.

Crouching the woman began from the top, being careful to start out slowly, she did not wanting to tire herself to quickly. Soon the woman was running freely, laughing as she sped down the steps, the wind brushing against her face, the smell of the pine made it perfect, once again having second thoughts about this place. Maybe it was not that bad after all. Reaching the bottom she skidded to a stop, then as fast as she could took a deep breath filling both her lungs, began the journey to the top once again.

When the redhead reached the top, Haldir was stood there frowning. Jane winced, what had she done?

"That took you five minutes, if you were in a battle retreat you would already be numbered among the dead. Do it again, only this time do it in two minutes." He ordered.

She looked at him as if he was crazy; took one look with dread at the stairs and started down once again, this time starting fast. I took my leave.

Haldir POV:

I watched as the woman ran down the steps for the second time, I admit she shows talent, the edain have always fascinated me. Yet, I know she can do better. I watched as her legs carried her down to the bottom, she turned around with out hesitation.

I felt a presence behind me. "Mae Govannan Orophin, what brings you here?" I clapped my brother on the back as he stood next to me.

He smirked "I heard that you are training one of the Edain for the Galadhrim. Are the rumors true?" he asked. I took a breath.

"You should not listen to idle gossip brother. But, yes I am teaching a human woman." I confirmed. He looked at me surprised.

"But, why would mortal woman be allowed to join?" he asked.

"I only wish that I knew. But, the Valar have a plan for all things, and it is not my intent to question them. You should be careful as well." I told him disapprovingly.

He looked down. "Sorry brother."

"Hush, she comes." I said warning him to be careful what he said.

"How did-I-do?" she asked out of breath. I will admit she did well, but she needed more speed.

"That was five seconds over, the allotted time you were given. Do it again, the woman cursed in Rohirric, as she ran off. She did very well, nine hundred steps in that time for a mortal is very good. But, for an elf it is lacking.

I was interrupted from my thoughts by my brother commenting, "Haldir she is very beautiful for one of the edain, her green eyes are very striking." He said suddenly interested in her. I looked at him. Doesn't he know?

"Don't you know?" I asked him. He shook his head.

"Know what? What piece of information am I missing?" he asked suddenly hurt that he did not have the latest piece of gossip. I took a breath.

"Elladan is enamored of her." I answered unsure of whether to feel sad or happy.

"What? But that is impossible, they are completely different not mentioning the age difference." He protested.

I nodded. "I completely agree with you, yet she does not return the mutual feeling, she believes him to be only a friend."

"Ai. Does he wish to numbered among the Dunedain, like unto his sister Arwen?" he asked worriedly. "Because if-"

I silenced him as Jane approached once again, looking very tired.

"Very good Jane, that was under two minutes, you survived." I said solemnly. The girl beamed, her emerald eyes twinkling.

"Really? I did?" She asked smiling brightly. My brother laughed. "No I did. What did you think?" he asked her smirking. She turned to him glaring "You should learn to listen." She said staring him down.

I thought of laughing, this situation had turned out quite differently than I had expected.

"Yes, well Jane. Now you must go to the well, and fetch buckets of hot water and I will show you your talan. There you will change, and clean yourself." I told her as I started down the stairs, I was surprised that I did not have to tell her to come, for she walked down after me skipping three steps at a time.

I know understood why Elladan loved this woman; she was different, charming, beautiful, spunky, and very outspoken. We walked down in silence until she began to sing. I groaned inwardly as she started. But in the end I was surprised her voice was pleasant. She sang a song that I had never heard before, it was simple yet beautiful. No. You must not think that, Elladan loves her, wherein you cannot. I told myself with a sigh.

I showed her were the well, and handed her a large bucket full of hot water, than I filled a second for her. I pointed out all the different buildings to her, explaining what each was used for she listened intently paying attention to each and every detail. She was innocent really, free from every care in the world.

I stopped myself. She was like Sylvania; I watched her look around examining each and every detail to the point of exhaustion. Why? Why did she have to die?

Jane POV:

I stopped to pick some flowers, which were tempting me with their sweet scent. We walked up to a large tree, to my relief it was not that large, but it was still very large. I eyed the steps suspiciously, pondering whether or not I wished to step.

"Jane do not worry, I do not intend for you to run it." He told me with a look of the slightest humor creeping across his face. I nodded and walked up, I would have gone to the top if Haldir had not stopped me, and pointed to a little house.

"This is your talan. Mine is the next level higher." He said as he opened the door.

I gasped at what I saw, there was a large feather bed in the room, and two separate rooms. One a bathroom and another a closet it was perfect. I followed him into the bathroom and watched as he dumped the water into a little pipe that came out of the wall that, (the pipe), resembled a flower. He then waited a moment or two, then walked over to the tub, and turned a handle freeing the water.

"Thank you very much Lord Haldir." I thanked him sincerely, and he nodded and left me alone to change.

I slipped my shoes off, then my dress, followed by my under shift. I took the flower out of my hair, and let it cascade down to my ribs surprised at how long it had grown since my arrival here. I set the flower on the counter, and locked the door.

I stepped into the Luke warm water with a sigh. I stretched my legs out, and let the heat travel through my body, loosening my muscles. I leaned up and turned the water off, and proceeded to clean myself.

After ten minutes of bathing I stepped out of the tub, grabbed a towel and dried off. I looked behind the door and saw that they had provided a bathrobe; well not exactly what you would think… it was a medieval version. They really thought of everything.

I put it on, and walked out into the closet and picked a simple green dress, with brown lining. I got dressed, combed my hair, and towel dried it to the best of my abilities then pulled it up. Slipped on some shoes and stepped out of my talan. Just in time to meet Haldir.

He eyed me with approval, "Come, it is time we go to dinner." I followed him down the stairs, and past several trees, there really were trees everywhere.

We stopped and walked into the kitchen, where we grabbed some food. I looked up and noticed that it was twilight already; he took me over into the forest.

"Now you must learn how to climb a tree. That smaller one over there, climb it." He said nodding his head in the direction of the tree.

"I know how to climb a tree." I said rather perturbed, and walked over and climbed up into the tree. I looked down and smiled.

"See." I said proudly.

"I can see." He told me as he leapt into another tree very graceful like. I leapt down, and decided to try again. I jumped up grabbed a branch and swung myself up, onto a branch. And before he knew it, I was almost to the top.

"Like that?" I asked.

He looked at me in awe, "yes like that, now you shall sleep there tonight, so find a comfortable branch. And I shall sleep over here." He said.

"Alright." I said kind of bummed. Apparently I would not be able to sleep in the feather bed, and it was goose feathers! This is just to, too cruel. I regretted leaving Rivendell immensely, but I knew that it would not do any good, no matter how hard I tried.

I missed my friends, I even missed the twins and that's saying a lot. I thought back to the garden, and realized that I loved Elladan. I love him.
