Two Hearts and Two Kingdoms United (Elrond + Celebrian)

Chapter 6

Celebrian was back at home, in Lothlorien. Everything had went back to normal for her. Her parents went back to their duties. They attended to the kingdom, and the needs of their people. Celebrian didn't do much. She spent time her room by reading books, and she would walk around Lothlorien.

Ever since she came back from Rivendell, things were different. She was different. Celebrian didn't feel the same from when she went to Rivendell. It felt like she was missing something, but she had brought everything back home. So what was it? Celebrian didn't know what was causing it, so she tried to do everything the same way that she always did.

Celebrian was dressed in a comfortable riding dress and flat boots. She was walking to the stables. She decided to go for a ride. As she was walking to the stables, she ran into her father. He looked at Celebrian and was wondering why she was dressed like that.

"Celebrian, why are you wearing that?" asked her father.

"I'm going for a ride, ada (father)." replied Celebrian.

"Where are you riding?" Celeborn continued to ask.

"I'm not sure exactly, but I'll stay close." promised Celebrian.

It took her father a couple of minutes to think about this, but he agreed. Celebrian kissed her father on the cheek, and ran to the stables. Her horse was all tacked up. It was happy to be going out on a ride becuase it hadn't been out in a while, so it was getting pretty excited.

She mounted her horse, and rode out of the stables in a canter. She rode south to Fangorn. She slowed down when she was at the start of Fangorn. Celebrian walked her horse into the forest. It was a dark place with limited sunshine. It had many trees and a couple of bushes here and there. There was small streams that flowed quietly throughout this place. Celebrian had heard many stories about this place. The stories use to say that if you listened closely, you could here the trees communicating with each other. Celebrian just thought it was stories and nothing more. But now that she is in Fangorn, she knows that it's true. She could hear their faint voices communicating.

Celebrian and her horse took a break near one of the streams. She let her horse eat what it liked, while she sat on a boulder near the stream. She smiled up at the trees. She was happy to know that the stories were true.

As she was looking around Fangorn, a little baby tree ran up to her. Celebrian smiled down at the child.

"What are you doing?" asked Celebrian to the adorable tree child.

The child said nothing in return to Celebrian. She looked around for the child's mother, but didn't see anyone.

"Where is your nana (mother)?" continued Celebrian with the question.

Eventually, a tall tree came walking. Celebrian was amazed. The tree had two arms and legs. It was walking through the forest, looking for the child. Celebrian got its attention and gave the tree its child. The tree thanked Celebrian and went on its way.

Celebrian hopped on her horse, and rode it out of Fangorn, back home to Lothlorien.
