from their hands,sweeping over my skin.
In the first morninghour,by the time of the nightguard to end,i wake
up.
When i walked up the stairs,up to the flet where the Lady and the Lord
were
waitening for me,i couldn`t stop thinking of my dream.
It had never happened that someone were calling me by my name.
We walked around under the tall mellorntrees for about an hour.
The prince did the most of the talking.I tried to listen,and look
interested,but my toughts were somewhere else.
I didn`t lok forward to spending the night alone.Honestly,i was
frightened.Very frightened,but i didn`t wanted to admit it to myself.

It is all darkness,and all i can hear is voices calling my name out
somewhere in the dark.
"Aarien,by the Valar,wake up!You are having a nightmare!"
I set up in my bed,so fast that the blanket falls down on the floor.
My entire body is shaking.The air is chilly.
I`m catching my breath,and a arm is holding me tight as the other one
is
sweeping my forehead gently.
I lean into her,and she strokes over my hair,while i`m crying.
"It`s over now.They can not hurt you."she whispers.
Tears is rolling down my cheeks,and i swallow.
After a while,she says:
"Try to get some sleep now.I will sit with you."
I lay down,and she covers my body with the blanket.The last thing i see
is the moonlight that shines on her,and lits up her face.
For a while, i do nothing then just sit and stare into nothing.
I still have the scenes from the nights nightmares playing over and
over
again inside my head.And i can`t make them stop.
This had been the worst dream so far.
Finally,I stand up,and walks over to a chair in the corner,where i see
that
someone have laid a dress.
It`s really beautyful,i can see as i hold it up.It`s darkblue,made out
of
silk and on the chest it is a silverstar made out of sapphires.
I take it on,and put a simple silverbelt around my waist.
Then,i look at myself in the mirror.It didn`t look that bad,after all.
Suddenly,i can feel that someone is standing behind me.My heart stops
beating for a second.
I turn around,and see one of the guardians standing in the doorway.
"She wants to see you.At once."he says
I nod,and can feel how my hands are shaking.
As i reached the last step,i could hear voices,many voices.
Many of the guards were standing by the entrance,armed with spears.
I took a deep breath,and walked in.
There was many elves in there,lighthaired,as everyone else here.
But i hadn`t seen them before.
Now,they were looking at me,as i walked over to Galadriel and
Celeborn,that
were standing beside two elves.
"You asked me to come,my lady."i said,and i saw her smile.
"This is our beloved friend from Northern Mirkwood,King Thranduil and
his
son,Prince Legolas."Celeborn said
I tried to smile at them.It was pretty hard.
"This is Aarien,daughter of Isilwen and Aldarion."Galadriel said-"She
came
here from Imladris last summer."
After the ordinary welcomephrases,Galadriel,Celeborn and Thranduil were
going somewhere else to discuss some cases and share news.
"Why don`t you take Prince Legolas with you and show him
around?"Galadriel
said
"It would be a surten pleasure my lady,but i got to start my
studying."i
said hastily.I didn`t want to spend the day with someone when i was in
such
mood.Even if he was a prince.
"You can take this day off.You deserves it,and you can finish your
reading
later."she said,finishing the discussion.
I sighed low.
"Is something bothering you?"
Legolas clear voice were suddenly interrupting my thinking.
"What?No,not at all."i said,and smiled.-"I`m fine.I just suffer from
lack
of sleep,thats all."
He was about to say something,but luckily we were interrupted.
"Aarien!"
A voice came from behind and we turned around.
It was the archers,with Haldir in front of them.
He were holding his bow.
"What are you doing so far away from Calas Galadhon?"he asked,irritated
while taking a few step closer toward us.
I looked around,and saw that,yes,we were quite far away from where we
started a few hours ago.
"It can be dangerous.Orcs are passing,not very far from here."he
continued-"And a girl like you,alone with just one man to protect you."
I noticed the sence of arrogance and sarcasm in his voice.It made me
quite
annoyed.
"We are on the way back again,and nothing happened,but thank you for
your
concern,Haldir.It was very nice to discover that you do care for
someone
else then your self!"i said,turned around and walked as fast as i could
back
in the direction we came from.
