A love that transcends time

Chapter 5

Third person Pov.

After taking a while to explain what was going on and touching a little on the back story of the ring of how it was made and lost but found again by a young hobbit on an adventure and the meeting that was going to take place two weeks from now, Gandalf proceeded to ask some questions that where on his mind.

Gandalf Pov.

"What are those animals out there, they are like nothing I've ever seen before." My curiosity had once again got the better of me.

"Come, we'll introduce you to them." Ethereal said as she stood from the coach, her lover was not far behind, I had to say, I don't think I've ever seen a male so attentive and attuned to his lover. As she led them down the hall she gave an explanation as to why these creatures where like this. " Unlike the normal animals you are uses to seeing, these guys are born with a direct connection to the Primal Sources sadly these guys where not born like this, we missed home, and for some reason your plants and animals where not born with direct connections to the Primal Sources like ours where, so we opened the connection of some of your normal animals to give them that connection and create the creatures of our home. Now their offspring will be born with the connection and this place seams a little more like home, the very earth in this valley now has magic coursing through it." She was very passionate as she explained this and it wasn't hard to tell that she loved this home she and her mate had created. While her mate on the other hand, my eyes shifter to the male who had removed his cloak and was now walking with an almost expressionless face though he seemed to always have one eye on the female and always within reach of her, they seemed to move as one being when one turned the other followed as if connected by a string. They seemed to be polar opposites that balanced each other out perfectly, now that he thought about it, if he had to compare Aaravos to someone he new he would say he was very much like King Thranduil, they shared the same high and noble air as if they came from higher beings, though in Thranduil' s case and what seemed to be Aaravos's as well it was true that they where higher beings. Ethereal shared the same aura but hers lacked the same pressure and emotionless domination that theirs had. As they made their way to the large doors Ethereal raised her hand and the doors glowed softly before slowly swinging toward us.

"So what animals have you seen so far?" She asked her wings ruffling slightly in her excitement, causing a chuckle from Aaravos.

"Well, I've seen the large ones with long necks and the winged ones with horns so far. Ah and the little burr looking ones that seem to stick to everything." I stated with a chuckle while pointing out the two larger ones I'd seen so far.

"The cute fur balls are Adoraburrs and the ones with the long necks are known as Amblers they are connected to the Earth Arcanum (I don't know I'm just guessing)." She stated with a smile before bringing her fingers to her lips and giving a sharp short whistle. It didn't take long for it to be echoed by a loud roar that almost had me jumping in fright as one of the large winged lion looking ones alighted on the steps in front of us before trotting up and gently butting Ethereal in her stomach despite its large size. "These are known as Twin-Tailed Inferno-Tooth Tigers. They are connected to the Sun Arcanum. Lets see, who's next." After giving the tiger one last pat it took off once again while Ethereal gave a softer and more melody like whistle. She and Aaravos then proceeded to turn around and face the castle, I was confused but when I did turn I was shocked to see to different creatures walk out of the shadows the castle cast across the ground. One looked like some sort of wolf while the other leaned toward the cat side through both had horns. "This one here is a Shadowpaw." She began to stroke the cheek of the cat looking one before chuckling as it let out a purr while leaning into her hand and closing its eyes.
