Chapter 10: A message from Gandalf
It's been a month since I got home, everything is fine. Gandalf has been around middle earth for the past month seeking information on the One ring and any history that there is on Isildur's time in position of the ring.
My brothers keep me occupied a lot with almost everything. It was actually funny to see them attempt to make a cake. It just turned out as goo. Arwen on the other hand was either in the stables, in the library, her room or staring out of her window with a faraway look on her face.
I was on my way back to my room to change after my spar with my brothers who still think they can beat me both singly and together. I passed Arwens bedroom and then doubled back to see her standing on her balcony looking over the valley but in the direction which leads out of Rivendell.
I leant against her door with a smile on my face. "I can't believe I didn't notice it before," I said smiling and walking up to her, placing a hand on her shoulder.
"Notice what?" she asked with a curious but frightened look.
"Please sister if I know when Ada is lying I can certainly tell when you are." I said with a sad smile.
She shook her head and headed back into her room and threw herself down on her bed. I sat down next to her and ran a hand through her hair.
"It's ok to love Arwen and you know that." I said playing with her hair, trying to comfort her as best as I could.
"I know that Arya but he's Aragorn son of Arathorn the heir to the throne of Gondor I can't, I just can't." She said looking heartbroken.
"Now you listen to me here Arwen Evenstar. Love will always find a way no matter what so just take a risk once in a while ok." I said getting up and kissing the forehead.
"See you at dinner ok and with a smile please?" I asked walking towards the door.
"You know one day I will be repeating those very same words back to you Arya" she said with a smile.
"Well as long as it's not anytime soon I don't mind" I said walking out of the room and heading to my own.
"Ni *'lassui, gwathel" I heard Arwen tell me telepathically. I smiled and walked into my room to bathe.
I walked out of my room 2 hours later freshly bathed and dressed in a light blue dress and my hair tied back in a side braid and hanging over my shoulder.
I made my way into the dining hall and took my seat between Arwen and Elrohir. Arwen gave me a warm smile as I sat down and I smiled back.
Ada walked in a few moments later with Gandalf it looked like he had just gotten here.
"Gandalf!" I exclaimed jumping up and running over to him and hugging him.
He returned the hug just as enthusiastically and smiled.
"What bring you here?" Arwen asked concerned.
"I bring news, our young Mr. Frodo has set out to Rivendell as we speak and they should be here in three days' time. Though if not I ask you dearly to head out and make sure nothing has happened to our poor hobbit." Gandalf said.
"Yes we will do well to keep track of time and our dear Bilbo has already returned to Rivendell so there is no worry." Ada replied while I smiled.
"We will keep track of time Gandalf do not worry." I replied and he smiled.
"Well then seeing that this is all sorted I have a meeting with Saruman tomorrow and I count on not being late so I will be on my way. Good luck child," Gandalf said smiling at me and then left the hall.
"Good bye Gandalf see you soon I hope," I replied as the doors closed.
