Chapter 14: Entering Lothlorien
"Legolas, get them up!" Aragorn urgently orders.
"Give them a moment for pity's sake!" Boromir shouts at him pointing to the hobbits.
"By nightfall these hills will be swarming with orcs! We must reach the woods of Lothlorien. Come, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, Caitlin get them up." He says to us all while helping Sam up. Legolas and I help Merry and Pippin on to their feet. Aragorn calls for Frodo who looks in complete shock.
We continue on our journey in silence, all of us in too much shock and sorrow to speak. I look ahead and see a fading light and the shimmer of the large forest of Lothlorien. We all run across the floor, above there are golden leaves and silver pillars. Everything is so beautiful."I haven't seen anything as beautiful as this before" I say looking upwards at the gorgeous views of the forest.
"Hm" I hear Legolas mutter looking at me, why is he looking at me like that?I hear Merry and Pippin laughing between themselves, "what's so funny?" I ask them,
"oh nothing we are just betting on something" they reply mischievously, I roll my eyes and smile as I know they are not going to tell me.
"Stay close hobbits... they say a sorceress lives in these woods. An elf-witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell" Gimli tells them looking nervously around. "And are never seen again!" he concludes making Merry and Pippin stop laughing.
"Well here's one dwarf she wont ensnare so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox!" Gimli says until he gets an arrow pointed right at his nose. I look round and we are all surrounded.
"The dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him in the dark" the elf that I cant remember the name of says walking forward. Aragorn then goes into speaking in elvish to him. "You have entered the realm of the lady of the wood. You cannot go back" HALDIR! I remembered his name, says to us. "Come she is waiting" he tells us and leads the way.
We enter lothlorien and it is a beautiful forest city, the gleaming rays of the afternoon sun bouncing off the trees. A river floats along by the forest and reflects the sun. As we step onto a circular balcony, the walls are green and silver with gold. I see Lord Celeborn step down the steps alongside Lady Galadriel and someone who I do not recognise. She isn't an elf but she looks to magical to be human, she has long golden blonde hair, an amazingly detailed blue elvish dress and a blue gem necklace hanging on her neck.
"Nine there are, yet ten there were set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him" Celeborn exclaims to us in a calming voice that all elves have.
"He has fallen into shadow" Galadriel softly says looking at Aragorn,
"the quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the company is true" She mysteriously speaks and settles her eyes on Sam.
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Before you go in peace I would like to introduce Braelyn the Blue, she is a wizard with powers similar to my own, she will be companying you along your journey when you leave. Go now and rest for you are weary with sorrow and much toil, tonight you will sleep in peace. " she finishes.
We go to leave following an elf that will show us to where we will be sleeping when pain shoots through my back making me wince. "You are hurt" Braelyn reaches out to me.
"I can heal you. I have powers that will make the pain disappear" she says and smiles,
"would you do that?" I ask looking at her.
"of course come with me" she says so I follow her into a room in the trees.
