No Safe Place// Lord Of The Rings

The Woods of Lothlorien

"Stay close, young hobbits. They say the great sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf-witch of Terrible power. All that look upon her, fall under her spell. And are never seen again." Gimli said rather loudly and gathered the Hobbits. Suddenly there was an arrow directly in front of my face. I slowly reach down to get my dagger but then I saw who it was.

"This dwarf breaths so loud, we could of shot him in the dark." The Elf said then mounted off his horse.

"Mae govannen, Legolas Thranduilion (Welcome Legolas, son of Thranduil.)" Haldir mounted off his horse to greet us all.

"Govannas vîn gwennen le, Haldir o Lórien. (Our Fellowship stands in your debt, Haldir of Lórien)" Legolas spoke. I looked to him and smiled.

"A Aragorn in Dúnedain istannen le ammen. (Aragorn of Dúnedain, you are known to us.)" Aragorn nodded towards him.

"Haldir, long time no see." I said quietly.

"Lady Erillin of Rivindale. Your presents is welcomed Many of the Elves are excited to meet Her kin." He nodded at me.

"Kin?!" Gimli asked behind me. I turned to him and whispered.

"The She- Witch, Lady Galadriel, she is my Grandmother" I said quietly. His faced dropped as he remember what he said about her. I let out a small laugh.

"Haldir o Lórien, Boe ammen i dulu lîn." (Haldir of Lorien. We need your support)" Aragorn said. I walked up to Haldir and placed my hand on his shoulder

"Boe ammen veriad lîn. (We need your protection)" I added and looked up at him. There was a silence then Gimli spoke.

"Aragorn, Erillin, these woods are perilous. We should go back." Do Dwarfs know nothing?! We can't turn back!

"You have entered the Realm of the lady of the Woods. You cannot go back. Come, She is waiting." Haldir said. He lead us though the village. The lights shined off of the trees making it look like stars. The trees grew tall and sturdy. Staircases twisted high up into the treetops. It was a magnificent sight. We stopped in front of 2 people but I wasn't listening. I was to distracted by the beautiful trees.

"Erillin, my child. Long has it been." Someone's voice snapped me out of my daydream. I looked up and it was Lady Galadriel.

"Indeed, m'lady" I curtsied. She had dismissed everyone leave us alone.

"I suppose Gandalf nor your Father has not spoken to you about... Who you are?" Oh here we go again! What is this about!

"Who I am? Am I not Erillin of Rivindale?" I asked with the sound of annoyance in my voice.

"You are more than that, my child. Do you know why your father wants to keep you within Rivindale? Why he never let you leave? Why the winds and clouds change when you feel anger." She placed her dainty hand on my shoulder. What? That's just something... I don't really know how to explain it.

"That... It must be nothing but a coincidence" I started walking away.

"Like in the tomb with the Cave- troll" she said once my back was turned. But that made me stop and turn back to her.

"What am I?" I said just above the whisper. My mind drifted to the swords that I made fly to the troll.

"You are like me, as your mother was. You, Erillin, are the last Elf- Witch. That is why you can do all those things. You are very powerful." Her voice was Slightly raised. A witch? But... I can't... How?

"But.. What does have to do with my father? And my Mother?" I grabbed the necklace my father gave me.

"Your Mother... She was like us, an elf- witch. But... She was murder... By Suron. He wanted her for her power but when she refused, he killed her." That was the fate that Father mentioned. I closed my eye and a tear fell. Terrible fate indeed.

"Suron's eye looks for me?" I said above a whisper.

"Erillin, You have yet to discover what you truly are capable of. Do not be afraid. Now go, the news you have just retained maybe need time to settle in. Go rest". She shooed me towards the spot that the fellowship was staying.

I sat by the trunk of a large tree. I didn't want to speak to anyone right now.

"By the look on your face, I guess she told you." I looked up from my lap and saw Aragorn looking down at me. He sat next to me.

"You knew?" I said shocked.

"Yes I knew." He looked ashamed.

"And you didn't tell me?!" I raised my voice at him.

"I couldn't tell you" his voice matched mine.

"I know... Sorry" He put his arm over me.

"I'm going to miss you. Along with everyone else" I whispered and leaned into his side.

"What? Where are you going?!" I hesitated to answer.

"If I make it alive, my father wants me to ride the shores. He made me Promise. Of course I don't want to but..." I started to tear up.

"Hush now... It's ok." He cooed me and rocked me to sleep.
