No, no, why Father?
I awoke just before dawn and positioned myself, for the fellowship to cross it was about another hour or two until they finally made it to the bank.
Aragorn POV:
I gazed back at the Nimrodel, "Farewell sweet Nimrodel." Legolas said sadly, not only was there love lost. I thought of Elladan, when he heard the news that hi love Jane was was dead.
Flashback:
Elladan burst into the clearing looking for something, he could not find. "Jane, Jane where is she? I have something I must tell her." He said excitedly.
"Has she remembered her clothes this time?" asked Elrohir laughing; I joined him laughing, which was really funny. His hair had turned brown again, and thankfully I did not look like a Noldo anymore.
That was when I realized what Elladan had asked we all went silent Gandalf turned away, and Arwen looked sadly at her brother. And I turned away; I could not bear to see my foster brother face when he heard.
Elrond slowly approached his son and put his hand onto his shoulder and looked sadly into his eyes. And handed him a cloak. "This was found on the border of the forest, near where some orcs passed recently. She, she is no more. I am sorry." He tore his eyes from his son who looked as if, he had just lost his life.
Tears pricked his eyes. "But, but-" he sobbed. "I was going to tell her I-" He stopped and let out the most sorrowful wail that I had ever heard. He pulled out a flower, a white geranium from his satchel and, stared at it, and threw it on the ground in sheer pain.
He walked off, several paces and stared at the skies. "Why?" he cried. Elrohir went to Elladan and put his hand on his shoulder, but his elder brother threw the hand off, he left.
End of Flashback
I looked on as we approached the Celebrant and on the other side, stood two elves one was an elleth. With hair as red as blood, and eyes grey, Jane⦠I thought that it was she, at first but she was an elleth. I looked down, as Legolas ran across to the other side, and the two elves on the other side threw across to other thin ropes across, that grasped the other side.
Mithril POV:
Nimrod and I pulled ropes out of our satchels; twisting them over our heads like a lasso we threw them across the Celebrant clasping them on the other side.
Merry, was the first to cross, running across it as if there was no problem at all, then Pippin crossed, and Sam, oh sweet Sam. I laughed a little. After everyone crossed Nimrod looked at Gimli and frowned, and in turn Gimli looked up at us, and put his feet apart and rested his hands on his ax. Typical I thought.
Apparently the fellowship now believes me to be one of the Noldor. Fun.
Gimli put up quite a fight, when he was told that he would have to go blindfolded, in the end everyone was blindfolded much to Legolas' dismay, he put up such a stink, and all but pouted like a two year old, come to think of it he did pout like one. When I told him that he looked at me glaring, tore the blindfold out of my hands and put it on him self.
"Definitely." I whispered to Nimrod, who in turn laughed.
"Come on boys." I said clicking which earned a glance from Haldir; I looked at him, waiting to be reprimanded. He surprised me by just smiling. I looked at him a little confused, but continued to lead him.
"We are not boys." Gimli said. I looked back with a grin. "Alright, come on girls." No one spoke after that. Except Legolas who said: "Whatever makes you happy." He said smiling his perfect smile, I laughed. That probably would have made several fan girls swoon.
We arrived at the talan of Celeborn and Galadriel, and took the blindfolds off the group their breaths caught as they saw the surreal beauty of Caras Galadhon. Everyone's eyes widened as the lord and lady, descended the tall, erect, and beautiful.
Celeborn look on confused, and spoke: "Here there are eight," he said. "Ten were to set out: so said the messages. But, maybe there has been some change of counsel that have no heard. Elrond is far away, and darkness gathers between us, and all this year the shadows have grown longer."
"Nay, there was no change of counsel," said the Lady Galadriel, speaking finally I thought. "Gandalf the Grey set out with the Company, but he did not pass the borders of this land. Now tell us where he is; for I much desired to speak with him again. But I cannot see him from afar, unless he comes within the fences of Lothlorien: a grey mist is about him, and the ways of his feet and of his mind are hidden from me." She stated. I couldn't breathe, no, not this not father.
"Alas!" cried Aragorn. "Gandalf the Grey fell into shadow. He remained in Moria and did not escape." When he said this I cried, my throat constricting it was true. Not, just me but everyone. I turned into Haldir and cried, he pulled me against his chest and held me, as the tears ran freely.
Celeborn turned towards Haldir and I, and questioned him, why he had not been informed of this. Legolas turned to him and said "We have not spoken to Haldir of our deeds or our purpose, at first we were weary and danger was too close behind; and afterwards we almost forgot our grief for a time, as we walked in gladness on the fair paths of Lorien." He said hoping that Haldir would not get into to much trouble. I was surprised by his outburst, I had always thought him to be an insensitive grouch, but I was wrong. I had watched with a new respect for Legolas as he covered Haldir, with what was the truth.
"Yet our grief is great and our loss cannot," Said Frodo. "Gandalf was our guide, and he led is through Moria; and when our escape seemed beyond hope he saved us, and he fell." Then he added. "But, we have lost another member, Jane a woman from the Rohirrim, she was slaughtered by the orcs, as they passed by Rivendell." He said sadly. I had never thought that people cared about, me I had left, because I assumed that everyone had believed that I was a Mary-Sue.
Legolas spoke up. "We believed her to be one of the Mary-sue, but alas we were to late. Her cloak was found stained with blood as red, as crimson, red as any mortals." It was then I remembered that I had been shot through the arm, I had never stopped to think that I might have been wearing cloak, which seems very odd. Why would I have been?
Galadriel then looked into the eyes of the members of the fellowship, Sam little Sam turned red as a beet and turned away. Only Aragorn and Leggy could withstand her gaze, which I found was slightly creepy.
After some time she released them from her hold. "Do not let your hearts be troubled," she said. "Tonight you shall sleep in peace." With that she and Celeborn turned and walked off, as if they were the king and queen of some great nation. I stopped myself and laughed they were.
After they had left, with instructions that I was to continue on the journey with them. I looked up and realized that Haldir was still holding me, the tips of my ears turned bright pink, and I cleared my throat, I was clearly embarrassed. If I had been in human form my face would have matched my hair!
I left with the fellowship and helped them set out to where they were to sleep. When Galadriel informed them that I was to continue forward with them, they protested, but eventually gave in. Why does no one ever want me to tag along? I thought miserably to myself.
After I had helped them settle down for the night, I took up a harp and began to play a song, a lament to my father. Presently voices could be heard ringing out, matching the tune that I was playing.
Legolas walked back into the clearing, dressed in a new tunic, a tunic of the woodland elves. Everyone quieted down as he entered, not wanting him to hear about them arguing about the white lady.
Softly ever so softly, I began to sing, of the life of Gandalf, I decided that I had better sing in Quenya, so that Frodo would not be able to interpret was I was singing, I did not want four hobbits sobbing again, for that would send me into tears.
A/N: So now everyone is reunited, thanks to all my awesome reviewers I love you all! So, what do you think, could there be a love triangle, maybe? But, who is Sylvania? You shall find out soon enough. XD
