"Legolas, get them up!" Aragorn said as he saw the hobbits on the ground.
"Give them a moment...for pity's sake!"Boromir said as he looked at the hobbits.
"By nightfall these hills will be swarming with Orcs! We must reach the woods of Lothlorien. Come, Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, get them up. On your feet, Sam." Aragorn helped Sam to his feet."Frodo? Frodo!" He ran to Frodo as Tereza looked up.
"Stay close, young hobbits..they say a Sorceress lives in these woods. An elf- witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell... And are never seen again!" Gimli said as they saw the woods of Lothlorien.
"Mr. Frodo?" Sam asked as he looked at Frodo.
"Well, here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily. I have the eyes of a hawk and the ears of a fox!" Gimli said as they were surrounded by armed elves.
"The dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him in the dark." one said as he stepped forward.
"Haldir of Lorien, we come here for your help. We need your protection." Aragorn said in Elvish
"Aragorn! These woods are perilous. We should go back." Gimli said.
"You have entered the realm of the Lady of the Wood. You cannot go back." Haldir said as he looked at Frodo. "Come, she is waiting."
"Nine there are, yet ten there were set out from Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him." an elf said as they stopped walking.
"...he has fallen into shadow. 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. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Go now and rest for you are weary with sorrow and much toil. Galadriel's eyes turn to Frodo...her voice fades. Tonight you will sleep in peace." said another as she looked around the group.
"A lament for Gandalf..." Legolas said as they heard Elves singing.
"What do they say about him?" Merry asked as Tereza pulled her dark hair up.
"I have not the heart to tell you. For me, the grief is still too near." Legolas looked at him.
"Tereza, you're an elf?" Pippin asked as she stood up.
"Half, master Took." She answered as she went over to Aragorn.
"Take some rest..these borders are well protected." Aragorn said to Boromir as she sat down.
"I will find no rest here. I heard her voice inside my head...she spoke of my father and the fall of Gondor, and she said to me: "Even now, there is hope left. But I cannot see it...it is long since we had any hope. My father is a noble man, but his rule is failing and our..our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right...and I would do it, I would see the glory of Gondor restored. Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The White Tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver, its banners caught high in the morning breeze...have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?" Boromir looked at Aragorn with tears in his eyes.
"I have seen the white city..long ago." Aragorn said as he smiled.
"One day our paths will lead us there, and the tower guards shall take up the call "the Lords of Gondor have returned."" Boromir said as he looked at Tereza.
She smiled at him as Aragorn got up and walked away from them. Tereza got ready to stand up and walk away as she heard Boromir.
"Tereza?" he asked as she looked in his direction.
"Yes?" she asked as she watched him.
She bit back a smile as he struggled with his words. He looked at her as he got ready to say something, but looked away quickly.
"What is it, Boromir?" Tereza asked as she looked at him.
"Nothing." he answered as he watched Tereza get up and walk away.
