Guild of Elves: Rhun

[Maeglin]

OOC: Here is a list of the members in this RPG:
Glorfindel1187
Lhunsoroniel
Rasec
Earendil
Charmania
Nefmariel
Isal Celebalda
Aragorn Rocks


Please continuing posting here just as you were in the Rivendell thread, but if you have not read the last few posts of that thread I suggest doing so.

IC: The company watched as the gates of Moria slowly opened, then they walked slowly through, into the dark gloom of the ancient mines. Glorfindel lit a torch, and then nodded to Rasec to do the same. He then spoke, "be on your guard, as far as I know nothing dwells in these caves, the orcs were driven from here long ago, and the dwarves never returned for fear of what happened here centuries ago, but all the same be watchful, there may still be a few orcs lingering, and there may be evil and fouler things than orcs in these accursed mines." He looked around at the floor, it was littered with Dwarf and Orc skeletons from long ago, he then continued slowly and carefully on.

[ms Greenleaf]

I do not understand what the dwarves saw in a place like this, even gold cannot shine without the sun.

[Maeglin]

I do not know either, but they were born of the earth, it is the makeup of their body, and it is in their blood. In the earth is where they belong and they love it their, the stunted people do not need the sun very often.

[Frodorocks]

At least they had torches and lamps. But still, I would long for the sun. Not many plants can grow without the sun, just fungus, and warped sickly plants. It will be a happy day when the company leaves Moria.

[Earendil]

As Earendil walked along with her torch she could still here the mornful sounds of the Dwarfs' battle long ago...and all together it stopped and she continued to follow her company into the darkness....

[Frodorocks]

The ghostly sounds the company had heard were making Lhunsoroniel uneasy. She gripped Sting, blessing Elbereth that it wasn't glowing.

[Maeglin]

It will take us several days to get through the mines, let us hope that our presence may go unnoticed by anything that may be lingering still in this accursed place.

[Maeglin]

after a few days of walking through the mines without any disturbance they reached a fork in the "road". "Here long ago is where that fool of a Took Peregrin dropped a stone down the well, probably awakening the orcs and getting the attention of them and the Balrog, but in the end nothing terrible came of it, Peregrin now rests with Eomer, king of the Mark, and Meriadoc Brandybuck, may they rest in peace forever."

[Frodorocks]

Hopefully we don't attract any orcs like Pippin did. Be alert everyone!

[Nefmariel]

*you all hear a sound of footsteps and turn to see what it is, then an elf stubles in clutching her arm* help,...orcs still dwell here baracade the door!

[#1 Legolas #1]

We must go quickly!*we here all the orcs coming crying* We must leave to the 3rd hall.

[Maeglin]

"Be on your guard, and follow me, Hurry!" He lead the way down a dark passage, suddenly the passage opened out onto the Great Ancient Dwarf city of Moria, but there were plenty of orcs there, and when they saw the companions, they got up and drew their weapons.....

[#1 Legolas #1]

There's too many of them. We must run. We must protect Frodo.

[Nefmariel]

*staggering behind* keep going get out of here!

[Maeglin]

OOC: #1 Legolas there is no Frodo, this is not the Fellowship of the Ring, we are doing a Role Play Game, oooh I forgot how late you came so you don't know what the story is, but for an overview of what's going on read the very last post of the first page in the thread called "Guild of Elves: Rivendell", and then read the last page or so, that should give you enough of an idea of what we're doing, but there aren't any hobbits here.;)

IC: Glorfindel drew Glorsil and feinted a charge towards the orcs, but instead he quickly drew his dagger and threw it straight into one of their necks, a look of fear and anger came over the faces of the orcs.....

[Nefmariel]

I will do what I can to fight but with this arm it won't be much *gets out bow and shoots and orc in the head* appearently it doesn't affect my aim.

[#1 Legolas #1]

*Suddenly, we all feel sumthing coming it's sumthing huge, it appears out of the shadows*
Cave Troll !
Quickly!
we must shoot *me and Nefmariel take out our bows.* "Do what you can to protect Frodo,"Legolas to the rest of the fellowship,"Go!."

[Isal Celebalda]

OOC:
I am a Red-Elf of Rivendell in the guild, and I was asked to replace Rasec in this RPG.

IC:
As the Cave Troll lumbered forwards ignoring the arrows bouncing off of it's body, an enchanted music was suddenly heard by all. Every person around paused, looking for the bard from which it came. As the Cave Troll looked up at a balcony from whence the music came, a bard could be seen strumming on his lute. As the beast thought about what to do, puzzled by this, the elf swung the lute onto his back and pulled out his bow. Almost as fast as Legolas had been shooting before, Isal Celebalda began to shoot with deadly accuracy into the Troll's eyes.

"I am here to join you, my friends," he shouted as he narrowly avoided a swipe from the Cave Troll's chains, hitting a pillar beside the elf. After a few seconds when the dust had cleared he yelled, "May I have some assistance?"

Diving down from the balcony, rolling as he hit the floor, he limped across to the company whilst arrows whizzed around him. Collapsing next to Glorfindel, right arm still clutching his bow, he moved his left arm to reveal a long stone splinter embedded in his side.

"Damn Troll got me, it seems. I know you don't know me, but I beg you... Please help." He sagged against a rock, wincing in pain. "I wish to join your quest, but I cannot do so without your trust and assistance right now. Would you be so kind as to remove this?"

[Maeglin]

OOC: #1Legolas#1, again, there is no Frodo! We are simply trying to get through Moria alive right now, Frodo has already sailed away, this RP takes place many years after LotR.

IC: Glorfindel looked at the splinter in the newcomer's side, "I am not master of healing, not comparable to my friend Phenix, who, alas, has just left on the other part of this quest, but I will do what I can," as he said this two orcs came up behind him, he spun around quickly and in one swift motion hewed the heads off of both of them. He then quickly drew out his bow and placed an arrow into the neck of the troll. "Hold still," he said, turning back to the new Elf, and then, very carefully and quickly, he pulled the splinter from the stranger. As he did so, the newcomer let out a gasp of pain, "stay here, don't move, and try not to get killed my friend, there is nothing more we can do for you until we are in safety, but the wound must be cleaned and bandaged, just be patient while we take care of these orcs and this great ugly troll."

[#1 Legolas #1]

OOC:Sorry, Glorfindel1187, I forgot,anyways.

IC:While our battle with the Cave Troll, more Moria Orcs come.
"We cannot hold them off for much longer, but Ill try my best to hold them off..." The Orcs start shooting arrows and charging."Get ready." He sees an Orc aiming strait at him he takes out his bow. "Fire." He shoots the Orc right between it's stomach and lungs. He sees the new elf almost completely healed, but he still has a wound. "Be done soon Glorfindel1187, we will try our best to hold them off."

[Nefmariel]

while the others are distracting the troll, it rears its head in rage, I shoot it in the neck and it falls backwards squishing half the orcs, she keeps shooting but her aim gets worse just as her pain in her uper right arm.

[Earendil]

Earendil was shootting orcs from a low cliff but as she saw Glorfindel in trouble healing a new elf she jumped down pulled out her two long knives and started to hold them off..."Glorfindel do what you can to bandage his wound and when we get to safe gruond i will use my knowledge of healing i have from rivendell and heal this new elf! right now we need your fighting power the orcs still come strong any ideas? should we seal the entrance something?"

[Maeglin]

OOC: #1Legolas#1 you don't have to put the numbers after my name lol.:D, Nefmariel and #1Legolas#1 just so you know, both of the RP's are part of the same story, but to keep things less confusing I had us split into two threads because we are all on the same quest in the RPG, but there are 2 companies going different ways, I'll probably make us join up again into one thread before the end, so anyway if you could try to pick one thread and stick with it, I suggest one of you going to that one and one staying in this one, but I know you 2 are friends so its up to you.;)

IC: Glorfindel bandaged the wound as fast as he could, then got up and drew his sword in his right hand and his mace in his left, "No Earendil, do not seal the doors! If we do that we will be sealing ourselves into a corner, we must fight through them, if we can." He then swung his mace around his head several times, and when it generated enough speed, he released it, it hit the troll directly in the head, and the creature dropped dead, but there were still several orcs left. Fighting side by side Glorfindel and Earendil fought viciously through several orcs, they must have killed at least 20, after that the rest fled. Glorfindel then went and picked up his mace and his sword, "we cannot linger long, they will be back soon, and in greater numbers. Do what you can for the newcomer Earendil, but be quick. What is your name, friend?" said Glorfindel turning to the stranger.

[Earendil]

as Glorfindel ask Earendil jumped to the stranger's side and using elvish magic closed the wound which made the stranger yell a yell of pain and Earendil re bandaged the wound and picked the stranger up onto her back and ran side by side with Glorfindel to safer gruond!!

[Frodorocks]

OOC: Sorry I wasn't here, my dad kicked me offline for a day.:mad:
IC: Lhunsoroniel looked behind her, where the orcs had been and hoped that they wouldn't come back. If they do, I'll be here this time. Lhunsoroniel pulled her blade, Sting, out of it's sheath and looked at it glistening in the torchlight. There was still a trace of blue, but the orcs must have been very far off.

[Earendil]

Earendil saw Lhunsoroniel standing by the entrance as she turned back to check one the stranger who now seemed to be unconcious! "Lhunsoroniel you must come with us it is not safe to be near the entrance Glorfindel takes us to safer ground hurry many more orcs shall be upon us!!"

[#1 Legolas #1]

OOC: Ok, Glorfindel, I wont use number after your name.

IC: Everybody gets out. Legolas looks back to see if theres any half-alive Orcs. He spots one up on a cliff. Legolas takes his bow out quickly, followed by an arrow. With one shot he kills the ugly orc. He goes runs off to catch up with the group. "There a door there must be a way to open it."

[Nefmariel]

OOC: well we both joined both threads so how about once we meet up I will stay with one and Legolas stays with one? Legolas you pick.

IC:erf... *tries to shoot but misses* *stumbles down and trys to crawl away from one menacing (and groteske) looking orc*

[#1 Legolas #1]

OOC:I pick Harad, bye everyone, good luck on your quest, my friends.

[Nefmariel]

help! * orc advances on me, I try and slide back hitting a pillar*

[Isal Celebalda]

"Thank you my friend..." he gasped, as Glorfindel left to continue the battle. Feeling useless and as if he were a burden, Isal lay against a pillar and attempted to stay unseen.

[Frodorocks]

Lhunsoroniel slew the orc that was attacking Nefmariel with a swift slice of Sting. (Helps Nefmariel to her feet and dust her off) How hurt are you my friend?

[Isal Celebalda]

Almost completely healed by the powers of the party, the newcomer stood up, slowly.

"My friends, seeing as we do not appear to be under any immediate danger I would like to introduce myself and my quest. I am Isal Celebalda, an elf born many years ago in the land that used to be known as Ossiriand. My personal quest is very different to your own, as I am sure you will realise when I tell you, but I will tell you that tale when we are safer. I simply wish to explain to you now why I have joined you.

"I had heard of a great party travelling through Moria, and knowing of it's dangers I wished to attempt to help. My journey leads me through all parts of middle-earth, and I had not ever before travelled through Moria. I therefore thought to take advantage of your quest and join you through it. I do not, alas, know what it is, however. What is you quest, my lords? What are your names?"

[Maeglin]

"Our names? Our names are Glorfindel, Earendil, Lhunsoroniel, Nefmariel, and Charmania. Originally there were many others, but one fell several days ago when we were ambushed by orcs, and the others have taken a different route to a different land. Our task is this: perhaps you have heard of Gandalf the White/Grey and his order of wizards (istari), and I think you know of at least 2 of his order, Radagast the Brown and Saruman the White. But there were 2 others that we never knew the fate of, until now. They were Allatar and Pallando the Blue, together they are known as the Ithryn Luin. They have fallen into evil, much like Saruman did, and they have bred armies of orcs and evil men and cast them under a spell to serve them. They also have created rings of power for themselves, although these rings do not compare in power to the One Ring, they still have some power, with these rings they keep their armies under their command. Now, one has a fortress in the South in the land of Harad, and the other in the East in the land of Rhun, the rest of our company is on their way to Rhun, we are going towards Harad. We must get into the fortress by stealth, for in numbers the armies of the West cannot defeat them, so we must enter by stealth and either destroy Them or Their Rings, for if these men were not under their spell they would be fighting for the West and Gondor, for they owe the king an allegiance, so if we stop the spell then it will be a very easy battle with some orcs that must be won.
But now, we cannot linger here any longer, let us get out of these accursed mines, to the Bridge of Khazad-dhum! But be on your guard, there are nameless things in the deep that may have climbed Durin's stair, there are things even more dreadful than a Balrog, though I do not think they will have climbed to the the higher halls, even so, be wary."

[Nefmariel]

Thanks Frodorocks, I don't know about my arm yet I haven't had time to look *looks at arm, there is whole half an inch around and about that deep right under shoulder that is slightly gushing blood but it has already been stained with blood* no wonder it hurts lik h*ll.

[Earendil]

OOC: Glorfindel aren't we going to Rhun....sorry i'm probably mixed up hehe!

"yes we must go now we cannot linger" and Earendil set off at a sprint to the Bridge of Khazad-dhum! and stopped suddenly....she heard a strange sound.....it was footsteps in the dark.....they were not of an elf but something quite larger......she could feel its icy breath lingering in the air......she backed up to stand beside Glorfindel and whispered...."Glorfindel....something is upon us...."

[Nefmariel]

*looks behind* I see something large but what is it?!?

[Earendil]

"i have heard legends of many beast but none act like this one.....its footsteps are heavy......it breaths evil....it lurks like it was trained to.....this is no ordinary beast......Glorfindel what must we do should we draw our weapons?....tis dangerous to let such a beast track us like this......"

[Nefmariel]

personally I vote run, when there is something huge and un-known, but what do we do Glorf?

[Earendil]

"yes but we cannot allow such a creature to follow us like this.....it lurks like it was trained to do so.......he could be a spy.....or he could getting ready to ambush us....."

[Nefmariel]

well since that thing is HUGE and it could be a spy or out to kill us...RUN!

[Frodorocks]

I second the notion! Unless Glorfindel thinks we could attack it. Do you think that another Balrog has come? Gandalf killed the one in Moria years ago.

[Earendil]

"what if we run and its a spy no matter where we run it will be on our backs and the blue satari will know exactly what we are doing....Glorfindel is to decide......" Earendil said clutching one of her long knives tightly......

[ms Greenleaf]

But where was Charmiana (out christmas and New years partying) Charmiana was slowly making her way to where she could see the huge creature that was tracking them/ to herself damn my curiosity but I must see what is there. For the dwarves with their greed woke many monsters and perhaps this one is not tracking us. Perhaps it is only wants us off its land ... and it willl leave us alone? perhaps that is wishful thinking. Despite her fear she continued

[LegolasLuver]

OOC: May I join this guild???

[Maeglin]

OOC: yes Earendil we are going to Rhun

IC: "This is no Balrog, nor does it work for the Ithryn Luin, it is a demon of the Ancient World, that is true, but not a Balrog, it is something much worse. As far as I know only 3 or so of this creature were Bred by the dark lord, a "Dralrog"(he he a cross between a Balrog and a Dragon, what do you guys think of my idea?:D). Swords will be no use here, only I, among all of us, have seen the light of the two trees, and although that makes me powerful, this a foe beyond me, and beyond any of you, I have seen it once, long ago, at Gondolin, if you wish to live, there is one thing that you can do, RUN!" And with that Glorfindel set off at a sprint, faster than he had ever run in his either of his lives.

[Nefmariel]

I knew we should've run! *starts to run but arm makes me go slower than I could but still quickly* RUN we have to get out of here!

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana is the ****hest from the exit sprinting she reaches Nef who due to her arm is the last out "do you need help Nef?"

[Nefmariel]

I just need a bandage or some cloth to wrap it in, then in a few days it'll be fine but I don't have any cloth on me! dang well I guess I'll find some soon, but other than that no help is required.

[Isal Celebalda]

OOC: I am not a senior member, I'm relatively new myself, but as far as I know you should apply in the main guild topic at the topic of this section of the forum, the one called "Sticky: Guild of Elves and Elf-friends" is the one you need. But as far as I know, they're always after new members so go there and ask now!

IC:
"I don't know what it is, but I don't like it. To my trained ear for echo's of the Song of Illuvatar, I'd say this sounds like an echo of the dischorded part of the song: the part of the song sung by Melkor. Melkor, the dark valar Morgoth. I suggest we leave here, for I sense great power."

With haste, the newcomer begins to sprint and takes out this bow as he does so, gesturing for the others to follow.

[Maeglin]

Glorfindel went sprinting towards the bridge and began to cross it, but he was going too fast, and as he was crossing, he lost his footing and hit the stone bridge hard, then went rolling off of the edge, but he did not fall down into the darkness below, as he was falling off he grabbed the edge, and was now hanging on by just one hand.....

[Frodorocks]

Lhunsoroniel quickly grabbed Glorfindel's hand and pulled him up onto the bridge, "Are you all right? I don't think one of us would come out of the fall as well as Gandalf did." Run fast everyone, but be careful! It wouldn't be good to lose people, just when we're so close to being out of here!

[Nefmariel]

*still running behind* yeh were almost out so no one get killed! you ok Glorf? I bet your the leader, but still you fine?

[Isal Celebalda]

As Isal followed the company he turned and glanced back at the monstrosity following the party. He gasped with the dread filling his heart as he looked into the mirky darkness, and stumbled mid-way across the bridge. Almost losing his footing, he cried out for help. As he turned to face forward again he caught his balance just in time, and began with renewed haste to sprint. Once the party had crossed the bridge, still running for their lives, Isal began to pass them one by one. As he passed Glorfindel at the front of the group, he shouted "My friends, do not look back! It took all of my might to resist it's will! Run, run as you've never run before! You'd go faster than you are now, had you seen what stalks us!"

[Maeglin]

Heedless of the warning, Glorfindel turned to look at the monster. "I have seen the light of the 2 trees, and I will risk a look, nothing so dangerous should be living in Middle-Earth!" But as he turned fiery arrow from the creatures bow went into and through his shoulder. The beast looked as if ready to charge, and the whole company went running out of the East Gate of Moria.

"I do not think it will leave the mines, not in the light of day anyway, but we must get away from here as fast as possible. Just let me tend to this arrow in my shoulder, and I think I shall be able to continue, though slowly."

[Isal Celebalda]

"I am only thankful we have finally left these mines and that your wound is not mortal. You tended to my hurt, now allow me to tend to yours before we continue our journey... that is, if you will allow me to join you?"

As Glorfindel winced with pain, Isal treated the wound as best he could. Although his healing powers were far below those of Glorfindel, the wound was closed up. It wasn't perfect, but Isal had done his best. In his heart he felt already that a strong bond had formed between himself and Glorfindel. As he looked up at the midday sun shining over the plains far below, Isal felt as free as the air. In his mind he was sure that this new friendship, this couragous fellowship and this terrible quest would go down in history and in song as the greatest adventure of the Fourth Age.

"Come on, my friends, we must begin to move on..." said Isal, as he began to lead the way forth.

[Nefmariel]

oh boy on the road again, alright *starts to walk again but still slow since her arm still hurts like heck*

[Earendil]

As Earendil walked side by side with Glorfindel ever so often looking back to make sure all of the company was all there...."Glorfindel are you alright...that arrow didn't have anything on it like poison right?" and as she talked to Glorfindel she looked back at Nefmariel and saw her arm...she slowly walked towards Nefmariel and whispered small elvish magic to heal the wound and took out a cloth and rebandaged the wound and ran back up to the head of the group......

[Nefmariel]

*looks back at arm* what the? thanks *walks faster*

[Earendil]

"your welcome....." and Earendil looks aruond and takes in the breath taking views and takes out her flute and starts to play a romantic melody as she walked she noticed that the stars were starting to grow visible...."Glorfindel we should find a place to set up camp.....nigth shall fall upon us soon...." and continued to play her melody......

[Nefmariel]

I agree we should take a rest. nice flute and tune Earendil

[Maeglin]

"Yes we will rest now, we should find a place where we can be at least partially hidden." Glorfindel had not told anyone, but his shoulder had been feeling worse all day,and he felt the strenght leaving his body, he suspected that it may have had a poison or other powerful and deadly substance of some kind, but he kept this to himself, and went off to find a place where he could tend to it in secret, he did not want to alarm any of his companions by letting them see how bad it had become.

[Nefmariel]

how about over there? *points to a thick patch of trees and a cave* we can sleep in the cave or in the patch of trees. *noticed Glorf getting tired* I don't think your alright.

[Isal Celebalda]

As Glorfindel heard the concern in the party's voice's about his health, he suddenly began to droop. Isal runs over and catches him in mid-fall. He looks up at Nefmariel and Earendil, and says "I have small knowledge of wounds of this kind... I fear it is my fault the wound has got this bad, for I did not administer to it expecting poison. Please, could you help me?"

Laying Glorfindel down on some soft bracken, the party gathered round as Nefmariel and Earendil began their work.

[aragorn_rocks]

As the group attended to Glorfindel's wound, a new voice startled them: "It is unusual to see a group of elves situated outside the mines of Moria, as so often I have been told they live in Rivindell." The group turned round and quickly, and saw a female human standing with a wry smile on her face. They could see that beneath her cloak she had a sword. The group readied their weapons. "Put away the weapons, you won't need them. I'm not an advisary. In fact, I came in search of you. I was told an alliance made up mostly of elves was coming to our aid, and I was told to assist you. "However", she said, with a puzzled look on her face "I was told there would be more of you in number."

The group were still wary of her, but a gradual look of acceptance came over most of their faces. Once again she spoke. "I am no expert in wounds, but it looks to me as though your friend has been diagnosed with a poison. I will help as best I can, but I repeat, I am no expert in wounds and less so in healing them.

"I must warn you, enemies are less than a day away. After we have helped your friend, maybe we could get some rest in a safe place, hidden from the enemy. I have travelled far on my horse, Caval, and I'm sure you have travelled a long distance aswell. She knelt down beside them, and noticed, still, an unsure look on their faces.
"Will you let me join your quest?" she asked, trying to console their fears.

[Maeglin]

As Glorfindel was in no condition to be talking, he did not respond, and left the decision up to Earendil.

[Earendil]

"of course you may join our quest but the road shall be dangerous..."she says to the stranger with a smile and turns back to Glorfindel...she then recognized the poison and told the others to wait for her as she ran off into the bushes....she soon returned with a small patch of green and black leaves and she administered them on Glorfindel's wound...she then whispered a little elven magic and soon the wound was covered completely by the green and black plants the blood had stopped and Earendil looked up..."you'll be fine now....you should all sleep....i will take first watch....." and with one last look at Glorfindel she jumped up to the tree tops and gazed into the distance....

[Nefmariel]

ok Earendil let me know when you need a break, glad you're going to be ok Glorf. *ties Serrets to a tree, hops up into the tree's and finds a wide branch to sleep on for a while, however they don't know she isn't asleep*

[Maeglin]

Although his wound was healed, Glorfindel was very tired and dropped himself to the ground under a tree and went to sleep. In the night he awoke suddenly, he'd had a bad dream, it was a memory really of when he had fought with the Balrog outside of Gondolin. He looked around, and in the far distance he thought he could see the glint of 2 ominous eyes, but when he looked again it was gone, so he thought he must be imagining it, and then he went back to sleep.

*Allatar and Pallando conferenced via palantir the best way to breed their newest creature, and if it could be done at all, but they were hoping to breed a Demon of the ancient world, as Morgoth had done long ago* (just so everyone knows, we don't know about that, its just another part of the story)

[Earendil]

Earendil was up looking into the distance when she heard a rustle in the trees...she looked down to see if all the company was there and indeed they were all asleep...but she saw something moving in the leaves and slowly balanced herself and took out her bow and an arrow...she aimed at the creature with luminous eyes...and she shot at it.....the creature screamed out agony and the whole company aroused! Earendil jumped down but when she did she couldn't see the creature she had hit anywhere.......

[Frodorocks]

Lhunsoroniel looked about for the thing Earendil had shot. "Where did it go? I wonder if it was just or squirrel or if it was something with darker intentions. You guys get some rest, I'll keep watch. Welcome, aragorn_rocks (if that's what you want to be called) We had more people with us, but poor Ramanga died and we split up before we got to Moria, some of our group went to Harad."

[Earendil]

"it couldn't have been a squirrel this thing was big and did you hear it roar when my arrow hit it....." and as Lhunsoroniel took watch up in the trees Earendil took watch on the ground...anything that came near the company would be killed by her......she sat in complete silence listening to everything around her......then she looked over at Glorfindelwho seemed uneasy in his sleep....so she walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder and whispered in his ear "sleep my dear friend.... " and she whispered a small melody in his ear and soon Glorfindel's face began to relax and he seemed to be in peace and Earendil then stood up and returned to her post after checking with Lhunsoroniel that evrything was alright......

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana could not sleep she too had seen the moster, no not the monster its eyes its fiery eyes so filled with hate. She could not sleep anyway and so took over from Earindel *not that any wlves really sleep*

[Nefmariel]

*Nefmariel couldn't have slept even if that thing haden't passed right over her, she was too troubled and to many thoughts coursing through her head, so instead of trying she quietly got up and hoped up atop the canopy and stared at the moon.*

[Rasec]

As some of his companions, Rasec could not sleep, and so he kept wandering through the woods. "We will soon be in Lothlórien. I love to go back to Lady Galadriel's land. She may be resting in the everlasting lands now. I wish I could speak with her. And I wish I will speak with my friends from the Fair Forest." - he thought. And when he mentioned the word 'friend' to himself, the image of Celebrien immediately came to his mind and he felt great pain, for his friend seemed to be very far from him. "Perhaps Lothlórien may comfort my mind and soul." And still wandering, he felt a little tired and lay under a tall tree, with the first rays of Sun invading Middle-Earth.

[Nefmariel]

*watched as Rasec walked of and slowly followed him atop the trees, jumps down as he takes a breather* Wandering off isn't a good Idea who knows whats out there. lets get back to the group.

[Isal Celebalda]

Isal sets out of the trees to his companions.
"Indeed it is not a good idea to wander, but we are faced with problems. I am uneasy. This newcomer, she does not bother me at all. Despite not even knowing her name, I feel I can trust her. However... those eyes! My heart is in shadow of the evil. I am restless."

[aragorn_rocks]

"I am glad I'm trusted in this group. My name is Neisa Forfirith, but if it gets too difficult just use aragorn_rocks. I mentioned the enemy was close at hand, but I never knew they were this close! One of them must have followed me. *Draws her sword* We all must be on our guard, who knows how many have followed me here."

She looked around, counting the company. She paused and suddenly remarked:

"Who is watching over Glorfindel?"

[Isal Celebalda]

Uneasily, Isal replied "I do not know. We must return to our camp!" As the party set off, Isal was murmuring to himself.
"Neisa. A beautiful name," he said murmured, unheard by anyone else in the party. "Why is it so that I am so taken by this mortal women?" Sighing in confusion, he tore his gaze away from her running figure and began to sprint faster than before to the camp.

[aragorn_rocks]

As they all reached camp, a horror that they all dreaded was standing right in front of them. The weak sunlight, for it was still early, cast a vile shadow over the spot where Glorfindel was resting.
As the group took hold of their weapons, the sound startled the creature, and it looked round. Its eyes penetrated Neisa's soul, a glare of hatred came from its stare. Nevertheless, Earendil gave the signal to start attacking the creature, whatever it was. Lacking a bow and arrows, Neisa had to get close to it to do any damage. She sprinted towards the creature, and took a swipe at it, but when the first bow penetrated its skin, it fled and she missed.
"It escaped again!"
"At least we injured it this time"
A silence broke out among the party, but Neisa felt something moving towards them.
"We have more than one unwanted guest stalking us here, though in the light I can see nothing unusual" she remarked. The group looked around them, but nothing could be seen. Suddenly, they all heard something not unlike an army moving towards them.

[Isal Celebalda]

"I hear it too, and I do not like it! We must reach higher ground from whence we can decide whether to fight or flee! Glorfindel, awake! My friends, follow us..."

As gently as possible, Isal flung the still half-asleep Glorfindel over his shoulder. Looking into Neisa's eyes, he grasped her hand and whispered "We must run swiftly!" With that, the elf and the human ran off uphill towards high ground, thankfully away from the sound of the army. With the party following them, sprinting as fast as the could, the group soon reached the nearest hilltop.

Puffing, Isal put down Glorfindel, now awake, and asked "What shall we do?"

[Maeglin]

Glorfindel was now awake, but still very drowsy, the plant that Earendil had given him to slow the poison had lasting effects, keeping the one who recieved it weak and drowsy for several days.

Standing up he saw a sea of darkness flowing towards the company, he looked at their numbers and saw that there were at least 300 enemies, and he knew his companions were strong and valiant, but not that strong, "RUN! There is nothing we can do against such numbers, nothing that is except for get killed! Now go!" And he set off running, but he could not go very quickly because of the drugs he had been given," do not stop until we reach the woods of Lothlorien, it is about 5 miles from here! There Celeborn can give us aid."

[Frodorocks]

Getting to Lothlorien as quickly as possible would be a good idea,the land remembers the ages of elves living in peace there may give us some protection. (OOC: not to sound mean or anything, but if this is taking place years after The War of the Ring, doesn't that mean that Celeborn has already crossed the sea?)

[Isal Celebalda]

"Then we must run..."

Isal runs after Glorfindel, but does not overtake him even at his slow pace. "If he gets drowsy or too slow, I must carry him, so I must stay close," he thinks to himself.

[aragorn_rocks]

Glorfinel did not look any better than when Neisa first saw him, and she saw Isal trying to carry him, slowing him down. She then had an idea.

"Maybe we could move faster if you and Glorfindel rode on horseback?" she said, looking back at Isal and Glorfindel, "I have Caval". She let out a shrill whistle, and, sure enough, Caval came galloping in their direction. "We have to get away from the enemy as fast as possible, and you are tired, Isal, you will not get very far if you are trying to carry someone else as well."

She looked back at them, wondering if they'd accept the idea. Isal looked at her gratefully. While he climbed onto the horse, he asked "What about you?"
"I'm not easily tired. My father was a ranger, and he could go days on end without needing sleep. I can run alongside you, and I can summon Caval to slow down if the rest of the group fall behind. Quickly! The enemy are gaining!"

[Isal Celebalda]

"Thank you, Neisa..." said Isal. As he gazed at her, he was not only grateful but full of an emotion he had not felt for a long time. "Can it be I feel so strongly for a mortal?" he thought. As the pair rode on, Neisa running beside them, Isal called down "So who was your father? I have known many rangers in my time, I may know of him or him lineage."

[aragorn_rocks]

"You wouldn't know him, he did not come across many elves in his time. He was stopped very early, as he broke his leg after being attacked by Orcs."

Neisa looked up at Isal, overcome with an all-too-familiar feeling. She grabbed a chain she wore around her neck. She remembered who was waiting for her in Rohan, who had given her that very same chain, who was against her going on this quest at all in case he never saw her again. She shook the memory off, but, while she was not concentrating, she tripped over uneven land. The horse reared. Isal looked back. "Neisa! Are you alright?" he shouted. "I'm fine, go on, I'll catch up!" she replied. She took this oppertunity to look back and see how far they were from the enemy. She looked at the picturesque landscape spread out behind them, but the army were not too far off. She then looked round in the direction they were headed for and sprinted, limping slightly, after the others.

[Isal Celebalda]

Jumping lightly off the horse, Isal sprinted back to Neisa, and helped her up. As he did so, he noticed her clutching the necklace. "Come on, he said, we must leave!" Together they ran back to the horse, where Isal mounted and again they set off.

"Who gave you that necklace? It reminds me of the old stories from the Third Age, and of the giving of the necklace and of the love of Arwen, Elronds daughter, to Aragorn, lost heir of Gondor. Their story comes to mind, seeing you with that necklace."

OOC:
I know the Arwen-Aragorn thing is from Peter Jackson's LOTR not Tolkien's, but I thought it was suitable for this occasion.

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana looked out at the beast but before she could see it the image of the monsters eyes flashed across her vision. What a strange and terrifying power it must hold. What immortal hand or eye had raught its fearful symmetry. Running hard she new that if they did not get to Galadrial itmight be their last battle

OOC is this before the fellowship and might we see members of the fellowship certain elf( s()

[Nefmariel]

*finally gets back to friends only to see alot has gone on* oh dear, that thing was back again wasn't it?

[ms Greenleaf]

yes and so we must leave that thing and seek Galadrial . Well... a silence followed as each was left to their own thoughts.

OOC so really how does the time thing work GLor

[Maeglin]

OOC: there is no Galadriel everyone, she's gone, but Celeborn there still is. This takes place not too long into the 4th age, I'd say about the time when Aragorn's grandson rules Gondor.

IC: Glorfindel was nodding off while the horse ran swiftly on, this reminded him of something he had seen long ago, when he had put Frodo Baggins, the Ringbearer, on Asfaloth and had saved the life of the young hobbit, but now it was Glorfindel in Frodo's position, being pursued by a great number of enemies.

OOC: Just so everyone knows, I plan on killing Glorfindel's character to add a cool twist to the story, but don't worry you'll see how it works out, so if we get into a situation in which it would be easy to let my character die, don't make your character come in and save the day, unless it is orcs, because I'm not letting orcs kill me, I have a better idea..... but it won't be for a while.

[Maeglin]

OOC: Legolas Luver I'm sorry! I never saw your post! Shame on me!:o yes you may join.

[Eirien]

As Glorfindel was nodding off on his horse he suddenly saw a glimpse of a white streak go by him. At first he thought nothing of it since he wasn't all there mentally, but then he saw it again flashing past him. He opened his eyes and tried to focus them as he looked around for this white streak he had been seeing.when he looked to his right he saw a beautiful girl riding a vibrant white horse. she was wearing robes of blue,green,and black;her wonderfully blonde hair flowing in the breeze.

"What is your name fair lady?" Glorfindel asked

"I am Lady Eirien ,the Green Elf, of Greenwood the Great. I got word that Glorfindel and his Companions were on a journey.Also that they have been through great peril, and that I should join them in their quest to Rhun." exclaimed Eirien.

Glorfindel welcomed Eirien to there journey and introduced her to the rest of the group.

[Maeglin]

The company went speeding on, but the enemies were gaining on them, when they were not too far away an arrow was shot, it hit Glorfindel directly in the spot where he had been hit previously, he screamed in agony, and in his blind rage he turned around and shot a flaming arrow at the orcs, the arrow landed right in the neck of one. They were now just yards from Lothlorien, they went speeding into the woods, and about 100 yards into the forest Glorfindel stopped his horse and passed out and dropped from Caval to the ground.

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana spun arrows one by one each aimed with deadly acuracy. But she was runnning low on arrows

OOC something that never happens to lego in the movie

ic She raced to where Glorfindel was but was not certain if he would live

OOCIs this where you want to die Glorfindel ccause if so I can leave tou

IC She could not heal Glorfindel while protecting him from the stream of arrows

If any more come I will risk carrying him to Celebron but he might die in the process.

[Rasec]

Rasec watched Glorfindel falling from his horse, and he felt great pain. His eyes became a river of tears, and the fear that he had long had suddenly came to pass. Their guider and friend had fallen, and now their fate was bound to a new story.
The Elf-Human approached Glorfindel when he was still alive, lying next to his horse. Pain could be seen on his face. He knew he was going to die, and so he said to Rasec:
- There is still hope left in the hearts of those who can feel the grace of the Light. You shall all need to cross your paths without me from now on, but I have no doubt that my will shall be greatly fulfilled by you.
- It indeed shall, Glorfindel - said Rasec. - For your will is also our will, and though you now pass to the unseen world, you shall ever be within our hearts. Rest in peace, friend. Namarië...
- Namarië, companions - and with these words, Glorfindel closed his eyes and died honourly.
Rasec cried unstoppably and so did all the company during that day. Some of them even thought there was no more reason to continue, but Rasec repeated the words of Glorfindel. "I have no doubt that my will shall be greatly fulfilled by you. We must never give up."

[Earendil]

Earendils heart was heavy and she felt short of breath as she took one final glance at her dear freind She set off at a sprint toward the gates of Lothlorien As she reached the gates the guards had recognized her and started to welcome her but her eyes were too full of tears to stop She ran all the way to the river of that dwelt in the heart of Lothlorien and drew her long knife and took stab at her reflection in the water.............

[Isal Celebalda]

Tears filled Isal's eyes also, but he knew he could not risk the fall of his entire party. He knew that their quest must be fulfilled, and so shouted "We must move! We cannot linger, the army is still upon us! Glorfindel, my friend, rest in peace in the Halls of Mandos. WE SHALL NOT FAIL THEE!"

With that, Isal swung Neisa behind him up onto the horse, and they galloped away with the party close behind them. Finally they had reached the safety of Lothlorien, though alas they had lost their faithful guide, leader and companion.

[ms Greenleaf]

So Chamiana ran and ran not out of fear but as a way to releive the pain. Tears glistened as they slowly fell down her cheeks

OOC soglor are u comin back as thr bad guy or somethin//

[aragorn_rocks]

Neisa longed to reply to Isal's question about the necklace, but words failed her. For the first time she had seen a member of this party die. She could not tell Isal about the necklace, in fear that he might be hurt even more than he already was.

"We are leaderless and we must make it all the way to Rhun. I wonder how many of us will fall before then" she mumbled. She dared not to think about it. She feared that Isal, riding in front of her, would hear, but the wind carried her words away, and it held back her tears. They were in Lothlorien, and she wondered who would lead lead the group from now on.

[Frodorocks]

I'm sorry to see him go. Tis always awful when an immortal dies. I promise you Glorfindel, we will overcome our enemies, but we will miss you.:(

[Maeglin]

OOC: hey guys that wasn't exactly how I was plannning on dieing, but I like it a lot, the responses you guys are giving to it is great. I want the leaders now to be Earendil and Rasec. Oh and Charmania I'm not gonna say anything about my return except this, to quote Gandalf: "My heart tells me he has a part to play yet in this, for good or for evil.":D Ha ha I didn't want to give away too much. Oh and one more thing, make one of the characters take my weapons with them, the sword at least, and Rasec make your falcon send word to Phenix about my death. Okay, now I am going to leave this RP alone for a while, but I'll keep checking on it, and when and if I return it may be in either RP, or possibly both.

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmaina saw something glittering and against all rational thought rushed over to pick up glorfindels Sword. Then sprinted away again. Even though Charmiana not being of the original people did not know the power of the Sword it called to her. Not in a way that any well carved weapon would but somehow different...

[Earendil]

Earendil stopped and slowly walked back to the gate with tears running down her cheeks she waited at the gate of Lothlorien for the rest of the company she now knew that she had to pull the company together along with Rasec to Rhun.....as the company reached the inside safety of Lothlorien Earendil said "this trip is a paralless one...now two of our friends have left us....but we must continue on....rest well while we still can....tomorrow we continue......" and with that she left and whispered to the guards to be on their guard and that she will also be watching along with them......

[Nefmariel]

Nefmariel was so sad that she almost cried, but since some of the group already was she knew she had to be strong "do not fret Earendil, he will watch over us, he will always be with us" with that comforting word she lead Serrets into Lothlorien the first place she remembered.

[Frodorocks]

*Looks around at the huge, beautiful trees* This is a wonderful place indeed. Listen! The Lothlorien elves are singing a lament for Glorfindel! (Strains of music far too beautiful to be real)

[Isal Celebalda]

"Indeed it is beautiful, my friend. But where in this place need we go? For I have never been deep into this land."

[Maeglin]

As Glorfindel had died, he had a floating sensation, and his spirit lingered a while in the woods, unbeknownst to his friends he was making sure the enemy did not reach them and letting them reach safety. Then, on a gust of wind, Glorfindel's spirit was blown away into the blessed realm, where again he saw the light of the 2 trees, and came before the Valar.......

OOC: that is to be continued, I don't want to progress Glorfindel's story too fast.

[aragorn_rocks]

Neisa wanted to reach for her sword in case enemies broke through the gates and attacked, but the was a strange serenity to this place, which persuaded her not to. She walked along beside Caval, trying to take in everything around her. "This place is, indeed beautiful, I have never seen it, though I travel to many places" she whispered breathlessly, more to herself than anyone else. She looked around her, noticing that she was lingering. She ran towards the rest of the group, still taking in her surroundings, but feeling out of place. She quickly realised she was the only human in Lothlorien.

[ms Greenleaf]

xThis was a beautiful land she would have felt the upmost joy if not for the sword at her side. Filled with greif it weighed more than it should

[Nefmariel]

back home she was happy she took in her life and while the others rested she visited a few of her old friends, then about 2 hours after they had arrived she went up to the singing elf tower and joined in singing a beautiful chant about bravery and friendship for Glorfindel

[Eirien]

As Nefmariel sang with others in the tower the rest of the company was either resting ,lingering around Lothlorien, or catching up with old friends.Eirien was laying in bed thinking about what was to come on their journey........she tried to sleep but was sad our main leader was gone but excited for the next day all at the same time. She decided to go help watch with Earendil and the guards. When she got to the gate she could see with her great elf vision, the enemy was hot on their trail sniffing the the blood and searching for foot tracks. which was hard becuase the elves had such light foot steps.

[Nefmariel]

finished singing her song, and came down to the river, she sat at the rivers edge and splashed her face with water, feeling refreshed she just sat there enjoying her short time home and thinking of the past, present and what would come in the future.

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmaiana with her rich Soprano joined the lament for Glorfindel and was releved mabey.... but that would take along time

[Nefmariel]

Originally posted by ms Greenleaf
Charmaiana with her rich Soprano joined the lament for Glorfindel and was releved mabey.... but that would take along time

listening to the beautiful music it inspires her spirits and goes to her home to see her bed, and belongings, she charished and always will charish everything and everyone she knew.

[Isal Celebalda]

Isal stared breathlessly around like the others, and was absorbed in the music. After what felt like forever, he padded softly over to Earendil, and said "It appears you must be our new leader, for you are greatest in leadership, knowledge and power. Whence do we travel now?"

[Frodorocks]

While the others wandered about Lothlorien, Lhunsoroniel was climbing a tall tree, singing to herself softy. When she was at the top, she gazed at the east. The her the sky in the east seemed full of menace, even though Sauron was long gone. "It must be the blue istari" she thought to herself.

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana wondered at Isals ability to continue so soon but realized they nust go.

[Maeglin]

Glorfindel came before the Valar, "I have failed you and my mission," he said sadly. "Well lets not jump to conclusions now Glorfindel," Manwe told him, "Return here in a few days, and we will speak of this again, but for now, have peace, for you are in the blessed realm where nothing withers and all stays young and beautfiful, I believe you have some old friends you might like to see again." And with that Glorfindel went out of the presence of the Valar while they took council together......

[Nefmariel]

I go up into the tree jumping from branch to branch, land on a tree tip around Lhun, I stand on the tip as a star then I jump down and go over to Earendil and ask when we depart.

[Earendil]

"Night has fallen upon us....and although you all are brave we will not risk our lives in the dark.....this place is well protected and we leave in the morning....get as much sleep as you can when we leave we will travel all day....." and with that Earendil turned aruond and returned back to her post "sleep...all of you i and Eirien will take watch for the night..." and with that Eirien followed Earendil as she climbed a few limbs near the gate and sat down watching the stars........

[Nefmariel]

pretends to go to bed up in a tree but gets up later and hops ontop of a tree to stare at the stars " manen irima" she whispers to the night.

[Earendil]

Behind Nefmariel appeared Earendil...."you should not be up you should be at rest....." and with one last glance at the stars she said "beautiful aren't they.....rest well" and with that she jumped off the branch and landed on another and returned to her post.....Eirien was standing waiting for her..."what was it?" she asked....."twas only nefmariel looking at the stars...." and with that she sat down in silence and watched the gate......everyonce in a while she would throw a stone down and hit one of the guards and see if they were still awake and doing their jobs....she found them very charming for they did not complain of her harsh way of keeping them awake......

[ms Greenleaf]

HEARING A LOUD CLANG (eARENDILS ROCK) SHE AWAKE LAUGHED AND WENT TO SLEEP AGAIN

[Rasec]

Rasec could still feel the pain. The songs and the fresh air of Lothlórien could not yet make him forget his friend. Holding Glorfindel's bow in his right hand, Rasec cleaned it with his left hand and looked at it carefully, remembering the moment when the valiant elf died. "It is indeed a great pain, but now I must do what I deeply feel Glorfindel is asking me - I must lead the company with Earendil." - he thought. Then he looked up to the dark sky, and contemplated the shining stars, standing between the clumps of the fair trees of Lothlórien.

Glorfindel's sword he had not taken, but he had abondoned his bow for he decided to use his beloved friend's. Morning came, and everyone was woken up by the dawn. The boats were being prepared and the atmosphere was heavy. Rasec closed his eyes for a moment and, in a few seconds, Elgòfir, his falcon, croaked loudly while it flew down to Rasec's shoulder. He had written something in a small piece of paper so he put it in the falcon's mouth and spoke telepathically to the animal quickly. Elgòfir flew away immediately. The message was to Phenix, to let him know about Glorfindel's death.

[Nefmariel]

OOC: just for your infor Earendil when I spoke in elvish I said "how beautiful"

IC: still awake when the sun rose hopped down from the tree, then went to the river to see what was about and she was alone as she liked

[Isal Celebalda]

As Isal awoke, he saw the beauty of the Sun as it rose over the trees. Sighing, his thoughts turned to Neisa. "Ty-mela," he thought as he picture her face. Grinning, he said aloud "Eldar autar i Carme melmeo!" Springing off his branch with joy, despite his heavy heart, Isal sought out the rest of the party.

[Frodorocks]

Lhunsoroniel watched as slowly the stars faded and were replaced by a beautiful sunrise, all golden and purple and red. She jumped down from the tree and walked over to where her group was gathering. "Good morning everyone, and good luck on the next part of our journey."

[Maeglin]

After Glorfindel had gone out of the presence of the Valar he met some old and dear friends. There in Valinor he saw again Gildor Inglorion, The Lady Galadriel, Elrond and his sons, as well as the Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, Samwise Gamgee, and the great maia Olorin. At this his heart rejoiced, it had been hundreds of years since Olorin had defeated Sauron, and Glorfindel had much to say to him of the happenings of middle-earth since his departure, Olorin was most saddened by the death of King Elessar, though he knew that as a mortal he would have to die eventually......

[ms Greenleaf]

With the coming of the sun came the knowledge that danger must also come...To dark as to light... She readied herself quickly then lifted Glorfindels sword...the weight of his death was a great weight---such a weight

[Earendil]

ooc:yes nefmariel i know that

ic:Earendil and Eirien jumped down from their posts and headed towards the company. "wake now and gather your things....danger will be upon us..... we leave now....." and with that she gathered her things and said good bye to guards and the company rose and left lothlorien....(a few hours later) they had gotten out of the woods........

[ms Greenleaf]

The company left at quite a pace. They knew that Earindel would be a good leader and they would follow her to wherever she led .

wHERE WILL we stop next?

[Eirien]

AS the group continued on their journey Earendil came back to where Eirien was riding....." You have the keen eyes of ur kindred, Eirien. You can tell a sparrow from a finch a league away......tell me ..can u see n e thing ahead that will danger us in the furture to come?"
"No, Earendil...all i see is a murky wasteland that is soo flat you could see whats happening around you 50 feet away."
After that the company went forth on there journey with little fear........

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana who had just been speaking to Earendil was greatly releived by this news their journey had been to plagued by fights,,,suspiciously so

[Rasec]

The journey is hard, and Rasec knew that. He approached Earendil and they spoke of what was to come. They were now the leaders of the company, and they would no longer accept deaths. The Sun of the next days seemed to be always cold and the Moon seemed to be always pale. The light of the stars did not comfort the hearts of Men and Elves. But they did have to continue.
Rasec decided to spend that one night awoken, thinking about his friend. He had Glorfindel's bow at hand, and the stars were gleaming brightly that night.
- May the light of the stars be our line of touch, Glorfindel. - he spoke to himself.

[ms Greenleaf]

Rasec where is our next stop?

[Rasec]

- We are using the path that passes through Lothlórien and go into Mordor, but we will stop at Dol Guldur, and from there, we are going to head eastwards, for Rhûn is our destination.

[Nefmariel]

Travels behind the group a bit gloomy no real reason.

[Earendil]

Earendil overhears Rasec's prediction and pulls him aside for a moment. She turns to the rest of the group and tells them to find a place to sit until they are able to find a place to rest........be on your gaurd. Earendil turns to Rasec and says " we should not travel to mordor, it is south of here and it will make our journey much more long and weary.........there is no telling what is still lurking around Mordor.........I beleive that our road should be either strait across the wilderland between Greenwood and Mordor or if you wish to stop in a region we are better off in Greenwood the Great.....for we have elves among us who call Greenwodd home......like Eirien..and Lossengondiel.......I will wait for your reply." and then Earendil turns around and says to the company "we will rest among those trees we see to the east....hurry we are not safe in the night......"(they reach the trees) " I will take watch and i need two of you to assist me for this time we have no gates and tis too big of space for me to take alone...which one shalll assist me?"

[Eirien]

Earendil i will assist you in the night watch for it is in my blood to see in the night...........

[Nefmariel]

I stay up anyway so I will watch as well *is stationed and watches for trouble*

[Isal Celebalda]

Isal led back and tried to sleep, but in his head a great battle was being fought. His thoughts turned from the sorrow of Glorfindel's death to the joy of his love for Neisa, and back to a worry that she would not feel the same. As he was laying next to her, he murmured into her name into her ear. "Are you awake? May I now hear the story of your necklace?"

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana used the time to supply herself with arrows using a knife to whittle them into perfection

[Maeglin]

OOC: Earendil you mention Lossengondiel in your post, but she's not in this RP, I know I had put it in the first post, but I fixed that, sorry for the confusion. And you should not go to Mordor, do what Earendil said and just take the path between Greenwood and Mordor.

[ms Greenleaf]

Greatly releived that they wouldnot take the path through Mordor she went to sleep

[Eirien]

So while the others where sleeping at rest Earendil, Eirien, and Nefmariel took their posts to watch in the night. The three elves each stood in a triangle around the company with each person at an angle or point of the triangle. This way there would be less chance of not seeing something move in the night all around us.

[Rasec]

OOC: Earendil and Glorfindel - I never said we are going into Mordor. I just mentioned that the path we are using goes into Mordor, but we are stopping at Dol Guldur and going out of the path to head eastwards.
- We are using the path that passes through Lothlórien and go into Mordor, but we will stop at Dol Guldur, and from there, we are going to head eastwards, for Rhûn is our destination.
IC:
- Lady Earendil, you misunderstood what I spoke - said Rasec. - I did not suggest we would go into Mordor, for I will avoid that land as much as I can. We are just using the path that goes into that horrible place, but as I said, we will stop at Dol Guldur and get out of the path from there to head to the east. Excuse me now.
Then Rasec climbed a tall tree and looked east, to see if they were far from Dol Guldur. But he found out that they were less than twenty miles from the mountain.

[ms Greenleaf]

The night seemed long and Charmiana had a restless (well we will call it ) sleep but as all darkness the night passed and there was day and its hope again. Being the first awake Charmiana scouted the lands around them and to her releif found a blessed lack of hostility. \

Later when Earendil awoke she told her of her findings

[Frodorocks]

As Lhunsoroniel had sat awake in a tree the night before, she thought of her companions that had died, and thought of the journey ahead. She was glad that Charmania had seen no sign of orcs and hoped not to see any for a long time.

[Maeglin]

After Glorfindel had spent a few days at peace in the Blessed Realm he was once again called before the Valar, but this time Olorin came with him, for he had a suggestion for the Valar. After many hours of secret council, Glorfindel went out of the presence of the Valar with renewed sorrow and joy. As he left he remembered the words Olorin had told him "Don't worry Glorfindel my friend, your companions will not fail."

[Nefmariel]

as she was standing at her post she walked over to Earendil "Just to make sure would you like me to take watch in a tree? it is up to you but...." waits for reply.

[Earendil]

OOC: Nefmariel night is over......the sun has risen already.......

IC: As the company walked along the wasteland Earendil was admiring the scenary that she hadn't been able to look at for a ver long time....As they walked she started to see moving things out of the corner of her eye.......at first she thought it was her eyes playing tricks on her but soon they became frequent.....she stopped....and she listened and heard the leaves move......she turned and aimed an arrow at a large bush ...." Come out with your with your weapons down....or you will be one of the many who have died under my arrows..."..and soon an elf wearing brown and green came out from behind the bush.....but Earendil noticed his fingures were in a signaling position......"put your hands down!!"...but soon the company was surrounded by about 20 close elves with their bows up and their arrows aimed.....the company had already responded by drawing their weapons, but they were easily out numbered...Earendil soon recognized them as Greenwood elves..."put away your weapons!!" Earendil said...She says our company...."Greenwood elves we are on a quest...we mean you no harm!!"...and soon an elf wearing a different colored cloak came in front of his group he said..."Earendil daughter of Thrandalin we know of whom you are and of your companions....we want to help you by providing your team with provision.".....Earendil:"Then why is is that you come to us armed?"........." we know that you would not take chances and would shoot us all as soon as we approached you.".....he said with a laugh.........he took off his hood and soon Earendil recognized him......she ran to him with a hug.."Ralenta it has been too long!!" and soon Eirien recognized him also and went up to Ralenta and hit him on the arm....."You scared us!!!" she laughed.....Ralenta was one of the elves in GReenwood that both Earendil and Eirien knew..... he was young , tall, had light blonde hair, and bright blue eyes......"You should come rest at our camp!!!!"......................

[Rasec]

Rasec was rather scared when the elves appeared, but he was keen and his bow was set with an arrow before the elves were all around them. He was relieved about not having to shoot anyone, for Earendil knew one of those sudden elves. Rasec gave one step towards Earendil and Ralenta after they had talked.
- Greetings, Elves of Greenwood - he said. - I am Rasec, son of Cesar, from the Grey Havens. We are much delighted to have your aid, for it is indeed necessary - Rasec's eyes were glistening and his hair was shining golden under the Sun.
Ralenta took the company to their camp and provided them food and medicines.

[Eirien]

Even though Eirien had just recently came from Greenwood and joined the company not too long ago..... she held felt it had been quite a while since she had seen her friends.....for they were the closest family she had. she went to go and greet them and tell them her and her other companions were stopping here for the day and staying the night in the aid of Ralenta at his camp.......which whom she had noticed that when Ralenta and Earendil had greeted eachother they each had a special light in their eyes.........no one could really tell if they had something for eachother or if they were just very close freinds...........;)

[Isal Celebalda]

Isal had been in this land before, was overjoyed to meet friends of old. As the party entered the forest, Isal was overrun with elves, crowding around him, fastinated.

Isal had not before had the chance to tell his fellow party-members about his guild.

(OOC: It is in my RP Profile)

Because of his deeds of old, his quest to hear the echoes of the song of Eru-Iluvatar and his quest to recreate the song of the Ainur, Isal had once been a legend. On his travels in the previous ages, many elves had followed in his footsteps and decided that his quest was the greatest of all time. His followers had eventually become a guild, headed by Isal. He called this the Guild of Gwuithlon, which in the common-tongue means Guild of Echo-folk.

For the ages of the world since it's creation, the guild had grown and wandered, searching for the echoes. Many of the members had devoted their lives to Isal's quest. Alone they wandered, or in small groups, though every so often Isal would call a great gathering of the hundreds of members. This had not happened in the third age, though, due to the terrible occurances of the time. Because of this, some of the younger or newer members in the Guild of Gwuithlon thought that Isal was simply a legendary figure whom the guild idolised, and did not even really believe that he had ever walked the earth.

When the group had been captured by the elves of Greenwood, one of them had been a member from many ages before and had recognised Isal. By the time Isal reached the forest, news of his arrival had spread significantly throughout all of the members in all of Greenwood. Thus he was overrun with awefilled elven teenagers. Laughing and grinning, he spend a good few hours talking and singing with them, answering their questions about his life, his travels and his quest.

[Rasec]

Rasec did not know about Isal's Guild. He was impressed when Isal told him about it and explained his goals. "The Ainulindalë" - Rasec remembered. "It is such a rewarding thing to look for the echoes of it. The camp was very large and well made. The sky was dark blue, for night was close. No one felt sleepy, for there was som much joy comign form the elves of Greenwood.

[Maeglin]

Standing on the shores of Aman, Glorfindel thought he could see the Western Shores of Middle-Earth, where his friends were continuing their tasks. Even as he looked it seemed to him that the shores were coming closer and closer to him, he suddenly had a strange sensation, as though he were flying, and then he found himself back on land again. He was surrounded be other Elves, old and young, "Cirdan my friend," he said, "we meet again." "And not, I think, for the last time," responded the old Elf-lord.

[Nefmariel]

OOC: sorry its hard to keep up

IC: Greenwood is a strange place to Nef so she keeps with the group.

[Earendil]

Earendil was walking aruond the camp...she saw many young elven warriors there practicing shooting at targets....she went over to one...and helped him...."you must keep your hand steady...and your eyes directly on the target...."....the young elf shot the arrow and got it on the target....and soon all the elves were crowding aruond her asking her to help them...and soon Ralenta came up to them...."feels like old times doesn't it?"..."yes before i left to rivendell..."Earendil said helping one with his form...."when does your company leave us?"Ralenta asked..."we might have to spend the night because it becomes late....but we shall leave in the morn...."she said watching the elf shoot...."will you say good-bye time?...." Ralenta said looking serious...Earendil stopped and looked at Ralenta..."....I must go and talk to my companions to tell them we are spending the night....you should stay here and help them...they have seen too few winters...if you are attacked by orcs they will not be able to hold their own with the way they are shooting...." and with that Earendil walked away after saying good-bye to the young warriors.....

[Frodorocks]

If we are staying the night then I will help the young warriors. *Lhunsoroniel walked over to where the younger elves were. "Be sure to pull the string with only the tips of your first two fingers, pulling it pack to the corner of your eye..."*

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmiana walked along the young elves realizing she was not as skilled with a bow as Earendil she joined the younger elves using swords and knives

[Rasec]

Rasec showed up at the place the Elves of Greenwood were training to use the bow. He was very skilled with all kinds of weapons, but specially with bow and long swords. He joined the young warriors and taught some of them how to use a bow properly. Ralenta watched Rasec teaching their friends, and he was impressed about his facility on communicating with others. For a long time he just observed Rasec from far, but the Elf noticed Ralenta's eyes upon him. By the sunset, when Rasec was tired of the lessons, he approached Ralenta and they talked for a while, exchanging some knowledge.

[ms Greenleaf]

Charmaina continued sword-fighting and was surprised at the skill of a fairly tall handsome elf. although he had not the expierience to beat her he soon would be a worthy opponent. What is your name yong elf?

[Earendil]

As the rest of her friends found places among the greenwood elves Earendil proceeded to teach more elves the proper way to shoot their arrows...and soon night had fallen..."we must all take our rest....i will take a post and i hope Eirien and Charmania if you two would help me tonight..and we shall have some greenwood elves to back us up...." she turned to Ralenta "put your friends where ever you see fit" and ralenta said to her "you should rest knowing you ...you haven't rested much...just keeping watch..." Earendil turned and looked him square in the eyes.."i am fine....i mean no dishonor but i cannot trust the lives of my friends in such young hands...they are in need of training....therefore there must be at least one of us at posts to help them....i am sorry for my distrust but there are many lives in this camp and i will not risk any of them....." and with that she turned and walked over to her post and started to play her flute and her companions started to set up their sleeping areas....

[Isal Celebalda]

Isal walked to Earendil, and said "I know you cannot trust our lives in their young inexperienced hands... But I agree with Ralenta. You do need rest. I shall watch tonight. Will you do me the honour of trusting me, and will you sleep?"

[Frodorocks]

I will help Isal watch over the group. We would alert you if we hear, see, smell, or feel anything unusual if it would make you rest easier. Get some sleep.

[ms Greenleaf]

sleep.........has not been an easy task for me of late..I dream. It will be no great task for me to stay awake.

[Maeglin]

Glorfindel came upon a great mass of trees, "Leave me here," he said to his companion, "I thank you, and I may call on you again ere all is finished. But for now, farewell!" And with that he started off through the trees.

[Eirien]

So Isal and Lhunsoroniel took watch over the night..........Eirien went to sleep thinking about the day to come..........All of the sudden she woke up to the brightest light she had ever seen.She stood up and was very frightend for she didn't kno what it was!!The light started to dim and a figure of an elf man could be seen......as she got closer she could see....it was Glorfindel!!!!She went to go greet him with great happines......but as she ran to him...he threw a dagger at her and it went strait threw her heart!!!..........right then she awoke and sat up screaming.....she was frantic but then felt her heart and there was no wound......she was alive........it had all been a dream.!Eirien was out of breath and wondered what this dream meant........she tried to go back to sleep but couldn't get this momentous dream off her mind............

[Earendil]

"sleep is of no easy task for me...my dremas i fear more than not getting rest...you all shall help me watch if you want though...i will take the this side of the camp....Ralenta if you could come with me and everyone will watch where they see fit...and thankyou all for caring about my health...." and with that Earendil adn Ralenta walked off into the darkness and sat down at their posts in utter silence.....

[Nefmariel]

not knowing Nef had already gone into another part of Greenwood (she is never noticed) she decided to think and for once be sad.

[ms Greenleaf]

tell me of your dreams Earendil,, for if mre tyhan one has the same dream it changes form into a phrophecy. I wonder how many others have been having......dreams?

[Earendil]

"My dreams would scare even the bravest of Middle Earth....My dreams are visions of what shall come if our quest........the needless slaughtering of the helpless .....the ruin of great citys and the fading of the spirits of Middle Earth.......I hope that none of you have never had this dream.......for it grows heavy inside my heart......" ....As some slept and some kept watch Earendil took out her flute and told Isal and Lhunsoroniel and Eirien to secretly not listen the music of her flute...."The Greenwood elves young and tired have not gotten rest since they left the heart of their homeland. So we alone shall take watch".....and with that Earendil started to play her flute and played a melody that entranced and enduced sleep among the Greenwood elves....And Earendil and her fellow watchers watched the night away.....and morning came and Earendil woke her sleeping companions and asked them all to gather their provisions on the horses provided for them in complete silence. And she asked Eirien and Nefmariel to make sure that evryone was ready to go by the time she came back.and she walked over to Ralenta, still sleeping, she took off an amulent from her around her neck, which was an elvish flower with a light blue gem in the middle, and laid it in his hand. "Hopefully I shall come back for this...Good-Bye......."and Earendil ran to her horse and mounted it " We leave now when our quest is done I or more will come back here and repay our debt to these valiant young elves......." and Earendil turned her horse and with her company slowly galloped away............

[Eirien]

As Eirien rode on her white horse with the rest of the company she could see ahead that there weren't many trees and it was mostly flat land.......For this reason they had to be careful because they could be plainly seen from the eye of the enemy if they did not stay in the morning mist.......since they had rested a day before, the company would spend this day crossing the desolute wilderland................

[Maeglin]

Going warily and silently from tree to tree, Glorfindel eventually reached a spot where he was far down below on the ground a company of elves. In a blink Glorfindel jumped down from the tree and landed softly on the ground. Armed only with 2 daggers and some throwing knives, he jumped out from behind the cover of some bushes and silently killed one, but that got the attention of the others, soon he was surrounded, though not scared. An arrow was shot at him, he ducked and it went straight through the heart of another young warrior, Glorfindel then through a knife through the neck of the shooter. Now he seized his opportunity to finish them off, although there were about 15 remaining; he leapt up into the a tree branch and through another knife at another elf, which fell dead immediately, he jumped down from the tree and recovered the 2 knives he had thrown, but now they were coming to close to throw knives at, he drew his daggers and slashed through one as he ducked a sword slice from another, he put his dagger through the one that had swung at him, and he then took his sword. The last remaining enemies fought were closing in on him, on he fought hand to hand and hewed the head off of, and the remaining 4 he put knives through their hearts. He dropped the sword he had taken and retrieved the last of his knives, but then their captain came out, he shot an arrow straight at Glorfindel, but the elf lord caught it before it hit his heart, this angered the captain, who took out his sword. As his enemy approached Glorfindel drew his daggers once again, he fought him off countless times, but his enemy was persistent and kept coming back, finally, holding his daggers above his head, Glorfindel brought them down quickly in an X motion and broke his enemies sword, he then kicked him and the enemy was sent back first into a tree.

Glorfindel went and picked up his enemy, "I know you are angry at me," he said,"for you believe that I have killed some dear friends of yours, but I tell you the truth, they are already dead, watch." And as he watched the beautiful forms of the fallen Elves turned into hideous orcs. "Our enemy, the Ithryn Luin, has become very powerful, they captured and killed your friends, and used a new devilry to transform orcs to look like elves, if you had been left alone for another day they would have killed you. I know not how many other Orves (OOC: Orc/Elves! what do ya think of the name?) there may be, but I do not think there are many. Now, I must continue on to warn my friends of the growing power of the Ithryn Luin, and tell them that now more than ever haste is needed. I have no time for rest, go back to your home, fare well!" But as Glorfindel turned away he saw something that he recognized, "that is a beautfiful amulet I see you have, it looks like the one that belonged to an old friend of mine, if belongs to who I believe, do not worry, she will return for it again, and you will see her again, I promise you." He then whistled, and a beautiful white horse came to his side, "Asfaloth my old and most faithful friend, we ride together again, run like the wind Asfaloth!" And the White Rider went speeding off through the trees, leaving the Elf in awe of who this great Elf Lord was......

[ms Greenleaf]

In my dreams Earendil I see the Eye of the beast in moria...for I too looked at it. More than looked stareed into its eyes. THen I become one with it I see the breaking of the World like you and I can feel its---the creatures love of death and it sickens me and I awaken

[Nefmariel]

OOC: I like the name Orves very creative Glorf.

IC: as they were riding farther and farther away from Greenwood Nefmariel felt as if something was searching for them weather good or evil she couldn't tell so she put it out of her mind for now and kept riding....

[Frodorocks]

As Lhunsoroniel ran along with the rest of her company, she suddenly had such a feeling of foreboding that she stumbled and almost fell. She knew in her heart that there had been a disturbance back in Greenwood. She tried to cast it out of her mind, hoping that everyone was all right, as she resumed running. OOC: Yeah, I like the orves too!:)

[ms Greenleaf]

I also feel we are followed... but that may just be my mind playing tricks on me.

[Nefmariel]

"Wait....I feel a presence closing in on us...most of us feel it so what is it? I think we should hide in these tree's and wait for whatever it is to come, what do you all think?" she said as the feeling grew more and more.

[Rasec]

- We should not hide between the trees - said Rasec suddenly. - For what follows us is not a beast or a group of orcs. I have also had dreams, but what I see is an image of aid and power. There is indeed something behing us, I guess you are all right, but it is not something we should worry about. I will not yet tell you what it is in my dreams, for I am not completely sure of it, though I believe in my mind. But these dreams may soon reveal themselves being true. Let us just continue on our journey as if nothing has happened.
Saying this, Rasec turned his white horse Gwyndòfir and started riding swiftly beside Earendil, as they were the leaders, and they were followed by the rest of the company.

[Maeglin]

Night fell, and still Glorfindel rode on across the lands, until he saw far ahead in the trees a small group of Elves, he dismounted Asfaloth and walked on. Peering through the trees he saw that the watchers had fallen asleep, and their camp was left unguarded, "I will teach them a lesson he thought," and he silently took away all of their weapons and went with them and took cover in the trees not far off.

He threw a knife and went into a tree above one of their heads with a loud thud, immediately the entire company woke up and when they went to draw their weapons, the found that they had none, but they saw the knife in the tree and were scared, and fearing that orcs had overtaken them and stolen their weapons,they stood together, ready for one last desperate stand of defiance. Suddenly they saw a bright white light, and through the trees they saw a Great Elf Lord walking slowly towards them. "Glorfindel!" the one named Eirien cried, "and she ran towards him and embraced him." "Glorfindel?" replied the other, "yes that was my name, Glorfindel the Golden-Haired, but I am Glorfindel the White, and I come to make sure you succeed in your task! I have come at the turning of the tide! Here are your weapons back," and he handed them the things he had taken, "but where are mine, for surely I did not take them with me when I died. If you would like to hear my story, I will tell you in return for my sword and my bow."

[Nefmariel]

dumbstuck as everyone rushed over to Glorfindel to hear his tale, Nefmariel just put away her weapons and sat down again next to Serrets.

[Earendil]

"what is this?....this is an illusion! ....(pulling out her bow and arrow aiming it straight at glorfindel's heart...then looked into his eyes and saw that familiar glint in his eyes) Glorfindel tis you!!" and Earendil put away her weapons and walked towards Glorfindel....and bowed her head in respect that Glorfindel had retuned.....

[Eirien]

As Eirien was welcoming Glorindel as was the others with great joy she turned around only to see Nefmariel sitting by herself........Eirien went to talk to Nefmariel " Why are you sitting by yourself Nefmariel...... Are't you happy to see Glorfindel??? I have noticed you have been walking by yourslef and looking dreary ever since we left Greenwood." Eirien said as she questioned her..................

[Nefmariel]

"I am happy, but how can this be, along with all of the other stuff going on how can this happen?!" Nef said mornfully turning at the end to Eirien. "Why?"

[Earendil]

Earendil had heard Eirien and Nefmariel talking and she walked over to them..."this journey may seem hopeless and parreless....and i know that it is hard to continue.....as far as Glorfindel coming back i know it is hard to beleive but the Valar must have sent him back.....we are all upon this dangerous journey together so do not surround yourself with lonliness and join us in greeting Glorfindel..." Earendil said with a warm smile........

[Eirien]

OOC: Umm Earendil your PM Box is full and i kno this is the only place you would find that out......

[Nefmariel]

OOC: get used to it its always full! hehe sorry but it seems so!

IC: thinks for a moment "alright I will" goes over to the group and listens to Glorfindel

[Maeglin]

"Hear now my tale," said Glorfindel. "After my second arrow wound, as you know, I fell off of the horse and said my last words to Rasec, and then I appeared to have died while the company ran, as they should have. However, I was not as dead as you thought, I got up one last time after you left, and there in the borders of the woods I fought and slew several orcs, but I then had no strength left, and I went off to die in the trees. When I returned to Valinor they asked me, 'why did you go on that quest to die?' I responded, 'I didn't, I went on it to live. And to protect my friends.' "Then in council with the Valar Olorin (that is Gandalf) suggested that they send me back to finish my task, as they had with him. They heeded his council and bade me return here for the sake of my companions, and so I am here before you now, more powerful than ever, and more powerful than you can imagine, I don't expect that any of you shall see my full power unless we come face to face with the enemy himself, and the battle between us will be terrifying, and songs will be made about it in years to come. But for now, here I am, Glorfindel the White, as your leader, guide, companion, and friend."

"But now we have more serious business to attend to," he then told them all about the Orves and the growing power of the Ithryn Luin, "we must stop them quickly, or it will be too late and all will be lost." He then looked at Charmania, "my sword, Glorsil, is mine once again," and she gave it to him, when he put his hand on it the blade seemed to glow with a silvery-white light. "And my bow, Rasec," he told his old friend, and Rasec gave him his bow. When he had it in his grasp Glorfindel suddenly pulled a silver arrow from his quiver and strung the bow quickly and aimed it straight at Rasec's head, the young Elf looked terrified, and all gasped with horror, for they thought now that they had made a great mistake, and they were decieved after all, but as Glorfindel looked into Rasec's eyes, he gave him a wink and released the arrow. The deadly arrow went speeding past Rasec's head just above his left shoulder and proceeded into the head of an orc 300 yards away. "Did you think I had betrayed you?" Glorfindel asked with a laugh. "That was a spy, and we may not be so lucky to catch all of them, they may already know of my return and our plans, let us leave this place quickly, so as to avoid an attack."

[Nefmariel]

"good aim Glorfindel and I agree lets go"

[ms Greenleaf]

It is good oyu are back the the memory of you weighed itself in the sword

[Isal Celebalda]

OOC:
Glorfindel, do you perhaps have a copy of the script from the film version of The Two Towers? It seems you simply changed the name Gandalf to Glorfindel! :-P

IC:
"I am sorry we left you, and I am sorry I doubted you after the incident with Rasec and the spy just now. Will you forgive me?" he asked, doubtfully. "Anyhow, we must journey on, I agree. Let us proceed"

[Maeglin]

OOC: No Isal I don't have a copy of the script, but I have a good memory of it and the books (which I have right next to me), so you are right I did simply change the name Gandalf to Glorfindel, I have derived a lot of it from the real story.

[Frodorocks]

*Thinks in awe to herself, " If the Valar sent Glorfindel back, they must really believe that we can win this battle!" Filled with renewed hope, Lhunsoroniel journeyed on with her companions.*

[Nefmariel]

Reading Lhun's mind Nef thinks the same thing so she also follows her companions.

[ms Greenleaf]

I like the gandalf-- glorfindel thing really we all are parts of the fellowship in a way----hey i wonder what part I am pm me if you guys know

IC So the companions continued on their journey with renewed hope

* end of book one see book two for the next part,:p

[Nefmariel]

OOC: yeh if you know me tell me as well. and very funny the book 1 and two thing!

IC: senses something different from Glorfindels great power something else is comeing and watching.

[ms Greenleaf]

Yah tell me please

IC Charmaina to sensed a greater power in GLorfindel but how could one go through that unchangedIt would be too much to ask

[Maeglin]

"Something concerning me is troubling your minds, do not try to deny it, I can feel it. What is it my friends?"

[Frodorocks]

OOC: Was I supposed to let you die in Moria? If so, I'm sorry. IC: It is nothing Glorfindel. We are just happy that you came back!:) But, we are wondering at your new, even greater power.

[Maeglin]

OOC: No I wasn't supposed to die in Moria Frodorocks, don't worry about it.

IC: "Well I suppose dying twice makes one even more powerful than if you die once. If by greater power you mean that I am a greater warrior than before, then yes you are correct, I am greater than ever I was before, and indeed one of the greatest to walk the lands of middle-earth, and none now can harm me save one of the enemies themselves, as I have said, at that time I will reveal myself to him in my full power and glory. But if you mean greater power as in magic, then yet again you are correct, I have been blessed with some little magic by the Valar, for it may be needed ere all is done. But my power as a wizard does not even compare to that of the great Gandalf the White, I am but a conjurer of cheap tricks compared with him."

[Rasec]

Rasec was very pleased that Glorfindel was back. He had felt it and dreamed about it, as he had already told their companions.
- So my dreams told me the truth - Rasec said. - For this is the image of aid and power I had told you, my friends. Yes, it is Glorfindel. I had foreseen that he would come back to us, worn in a glittering white robe. That is exactly what I saw in my dreams. Just like old Gandalf we have always heard about, Glorfindel was sent back by the Valar, at the turn of the tide!
When Glorfindel asked him his bow, he was delighted to give him back. - Here it is, milord - he said.
But the quest must continue, for none of them wanted to linger. As Glorfindel said, the Ithryn Luin had obtained a great power. But so had Glorfindel.

[ms Greenleaf]

I feel that we will all gain much before the end of our journey,,, something from one of my more pleasant dreams

Later when Charmiana and Glorfindel are walking together... Glorfindel I have been having dreams nightmares ...prophecies. I see the destruction of middle Earthe and Realize it is only one possibility but I see my dreams-------I see them through the eyes of the monster from moria. With his? hate for others controling my feelings of sorrow, I looked into his eyes too long

[Maeglin]

"It was only a dream Charmania, do not despair...yet, but if this monster is powerful enough to enter one's dreams, then we are indeed up against a powerful and perilous enemy, but we will not let the lands of Middle-Earth fall, not while we yet can fight."

[Nefmariel]

as her companions were walking Nef was thinking of what Charmina had seen for she can read minds and saw what it was.

[Isal Celebalda]

Although joyous at Glorfindels return, Isal was also saddenned somewhat. He wished he could see the great lands of Aman and yet return and once more walk Middle-Earth, as Glorfindel had been permitted.

"Where to now?" he asked, forcing down his wishful thoughts. "We must press on, but where?"

[ms Greenleaf]

Yes Glorfindel....very powerful

[Nefmariel]

"I agree with Isal, where do we go now?" speeding up a bit to walk beside Isal rather than behind him she stated this.

[Frodorocks]

Try not to pay attention to those dreams Char. The enemy would like us to think that Middle Earth will be destroyed, but good will prevail. Have hope!

[ms Greenleaf]

It is not the dreams for we all have nightmares it is the power
