Anarawn- IV

Chapter 6: Lothlorien

Fast, they travelled, for a night, towards Lothlorien. When they reached the Lorien woods, they were sent for and greeted by messengers.  Swiftly, Aldermund & company went to the halls of Lothlorien to meet Lady Galadriel.

"Vedui' il'er (Greetings.)
Saesa omentien lle Heru en amin (Pleasure to receive you here my lord).
Arwenamin Galadriel merna ele lle e' sen. (Lady Galadriel would like to see you.)
Ron esta sinome e Lothlorien (Your company will rest here in Lothlorien.)
Sana Arwenamin yassen lle. (Please take my lady along with you.)"

said the maiden waiting in the hall.

Aldermund helped the girl up as she was already awake and they followed the maiden along the long spiral stairs of stars winding around the hundreds years old trees, towards the chambers of Lord & Lady of Lothlorien. It seemed as though the stairs were higher, when being held back by a weak mortal human who seemed only to be vaguely aware of the stairs she was taking.

"...."

With a soft ruffle of clothes, the girl fell out of consciousness again & nearly fell off the edge of the flight of stairs that she was taking. Aldermund caught her on time to not let her fall off and perish then and there, after they have traveled far from Mirkwood to Lothlorien. Spare could not the time, Aldermund carried the girl to the chambers himself, following the maiden.

When they reached the chambers, Aldermund saw Lord & Lady of Lothlorien on their chairs facing him. With a soft nod, Lord of Lothlorien greeted him. Gracefully, Lady Galadriel came down from her chair to take the girl from Aldermund's arms. He gave way and bowed Lady Galadriel as she took the girl, Anarawen.

She led Aldermund into another room, where she laid down the girl on a white marble pedestal-like stone. She poured water from a silver bowl, into the thin grooves along the edges of the marble bed. The water in the grooves, have turned silver, under the moon light. Finally, with a soft glance upon him, Lady Galadriel said,

"My Lord, I will cure her. Please rest well in your chambers, as this is not for the eyes of those that are not magical."

Not showing his hesitance & reluctance to leave, he bowed and exit the room softly. Thinly in air, he heard Lady Galadriel whispered,

"Weary not My Lord, for I will use my power to save this innocent being, one that has interwoven fates with my kin."

Aldermund looked up at Lady Galadriel, to meet her piercing eyes reading through him as she stared at him with her silver gleam of a gaze. Though Aldermund could not discern the meaning of it all, he bowed again & backed out of the room as he wishes to question not the word of wisest lady of his kind, at this important time. He traced back unto the stairs towards his chambers and laid his head to rest for the time being, for he had not the power to change her fate now.
