Tales from Arda

THE iNCiDENT

P/N: Hi guys! Today I'll be back to writing one-shots again, and I really hope you enjoy it! This will be in the form of a diary entry, in case you'll be confused! And you might have noticed that this chapter is dedicated to return_of_the_king, to whom I owe the motivation to write this chapter, as always!! Anyway, that's all for today's note, so dive in the story and have fun!😁

Cast: Celeborn, Galadriel, Arwen, Aragorn(in his twenties), Haldir, Celevil

Genre: Romantic comedy

Warnings: PG-12 because it might get a bit...steamy. Just in case😉

Notifications: Celeborn and Haldir's personalities are based on my imagination, so they may seem a bit different from the descriptions of the books or the movies. Celevil is my OC. So please don't use them without asking first.

So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder

Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

June 17, Thursday, sunny and warm

It all happened in the afternoon, a bit after lunch and well before sunset, when no one hardly ever suspects that anything would happen. But still, it happened at the time, the incident that shocked the whole Lorien. I still cannot help but sigh as I recall the events that took place...

Today was supposed to be a nice, calm, ordinary day, as everyone expected it to be. But alas, we were too lenient, too nearsighted to assume that things would just be the same today, even Galadriel with her foresight. But who could blame us for not seeing what would happen, when the thing that has happened was so...unpredictable? 

I mean, who would have ever guessed that today would be the day when that...rather curious boy arrive on our land and stroll around? That boy...I know that he has a good heart, and he doesn't mean to be so troublesome. But there's something about him that shatters the peace immediately, and that is the main reason that he's so well known in Lorien, not only because he is rumored to be the heir of Isildur (Which he is, in truth.) I personally think that the fact that he is about to be king is what makes him so conspicuous, at least in here, the peaceful lands of Lothlorien where problems seldom emerge. I hope that he doesn't act in such a noticeable way during his many travelings; too much attention can never be so good, as I often say, especially for someone who should hide his identity and lie low. 

And for Arwen... I have nothing to say but that she is young and impulsive, and the power of love tends to be dominating at that age... Well, at least the two make a good couple. I guess we the older generation have to watch over the rash youth with an understanding, open mind. 

But I rather do hope that the incident earlier today had never taken place. I don't mean to complain, but it was a bit much for us to endure the sight... it probably would be bad for our mental health. But I don't blame them, it's natural that they missed each other sorely during their time apart, and that they get excited when they finally meet again... As Elrond likes to say, if it's the matter of the heart, there's no way we could control them with the rational mind, no matter how much we want to...

I was sitting on a high talan cross-legged, nibbling on a raspberry shortcake, my usual afternoon snack. I could see Caras Galadhon spread out under my feet, and the occasional come and go of the elves could be easily observed there, so it was one of my favorite spots in the city. So there I sat, letting my chronic worries ease up a bit. After all, it was a beautiful day, the sort that even perpetual worriers like me could relax, tickled by the warm rays of sunlight that seemed to carry a slight whiff of freshly baked honey bread. I listened to the clear laughter of playing elflings, the wind ruffling the leaves and echoing through the silver trunks of the mellyrn, and the shrill voice of Celevil, the librarian, raised into a furious scream...
