In a bed chamber high in the trees of Lothlorien is a young she-elf is sound asleep. "She will wake soon if Mithrandir is to proceed with his quest to Erebor. The darkness will grow, and she will awaken to fight it, like she did long ago." Galadriel says, turning to her husband and taking his hand. The she-elf is not as young as she seems, she had nearly faded when Galadriel found her at the beginning of the second age. The elf never woke, but the Lady of Light has foreseen it; Naehlara will awaken to help lead the elves, men and all free folk to peace, for she is the High Queen of the elves. The only living elf from the first age. Her fae grows stronger with every year bringing her closer to awakening. Galadriel once was friends with the elf, her father Thingol; king of Doriath before it was abandoned and forgotten as the first age elves left Middle Earth to go back to Valanor or faded with time. "I have longed to see my friend reawaken but how do you explain to one that nearly two ages has passed since she fell into slumber." Galadriel says, a small smile growing on her face. "She was a mighty warrior, the best in all of Middle Earth. But she was stubborn, not as wise as most elves. A lot more like our Woodland kin, the ones in Greenwood." Galadriel says, a laugh slipping through her lips as she remembers watching Naehlara fight in the wars long ago. How she'd argue with anyone that stood in her way, nearly taking the head off the captain of the guard when he would not head her warning of the armies coming from Morgoth. ✨NOT A HOBBIT FANFIC IT IS SET DURING LORD OF THE RINGS✨ A/N I do not own any character other than Naehlara and maybe more if I choose to add more. But probably just Naehlara. I'm newer to the fandom so please let me know if i got any facts wrong. I hope you enjoy the story Also maybe be slow updates due to work but I hope to put out consistently!

**Now featured on Wattpad's Official Lord of the Rings Fanfic Reading List!** The War of the Ring may be over, and Sauron may be defeated, but that does not mean that the very thought of evil has been erased from Middle-earth. Though they may not be as threatening as the Dark Lord had once been, evil beings still lurk, waiting to cause trouble. Meet Nimalia, an Elf who has, sadly, spent a lot of her time with the said evil beings. After a long time in her captors' hands, she manages to break free, only to be rescued by a random Man who happens to be riding along her path. She is then taken to Minas Tirith, acquainted with the Queen of Gondor, and introduced to an Elf who will forever change her life.

'Doomed sleep until the time When it is right to awaken Unaware of the mountain she must climb Her past, present, and future forced to be forsaken, The maiden sleeps, unwilling to stir Until the loud, blaring horn, causing the ground to be shaken, Raises her from the dead, and into action she is spurred.' When a young girl wakes up in the middle of a forest in the company of a strange, hooded figure who claims to be her guide, she is unaware of what to do. She cannot recall how she got there, why she might be there, or even what her own name is. Unsure and afraid, she must force herself to trust the unusual man to lead her across Middle Earth to Lothlórien, where it is said that the lady Galadriel can give her answers about her identity and her purpose, which could very well change the course of her world's history.
