Chapter 3
I followed the companions a little deeper into the forest, but suddenly I stopped, seeing some elves surrounded the companions. I quickly hid behind a tree so i couldn't be seen. The Elves held their bows at them. They discuss some time and later only the brown-haired man with one of the elves that had surrounded them. I sneaked a little closer to understand what they were discussing, but they spoke Sindarin. So I didn't really understand much because my father had only taught me the black language. So I turned away from the man and the Elves and looked at the other companions, maybe I could find out which of them was carrying the ring. At that moment I was suddenly grabbed from behind by two elves. "brus- (her)," I screamed, trying to rip myself off. Actually I wanted to say 'you're going to let me go right away' but then I remembered that I was no longer allowed to speak in the black language. The two elves who had grabbed me drew me to the others. I had the opportunity to turn myself into anything, but I didn't, because then everyone would immediately know that my father is a maier. It was better to weigh them in ignorance. I still resisted the two elves, but they didn't let me go until we stood in front of the Elbe, who had been discussing with the brown-haired man. "Who are you?" the Elb asked me. I remained silent. "Where do you come from?" the man asked. I remained silent. "What are you looking for here?" asked the Elbe again. Again, I did not give an answer. "Can you speak?" asked Dwarf, and I would love him to slit his throat, or even better: I would grab the ring and disappear, which I couldn't do easily, because there were armed elves everywhere. So I had to play the innocent poor Girl of the Elves first. "We'll take them to Celeborn and Lady Galadriel," said the Elb, who had previously discussed with humans. "Do you come voluntarily or do we have to force you?" he asked me. I volunteered because it was best suited to the poor girl scheme. So I followed them up some stairs between the trees, hoping that they would buy me my ridiculous spectacle. We finally arrived on a platform and the companions lined up, but I stood a little off. A very beautiful Elbe woman came to us at the hand of an Elbe and the Elbe asked the companions for Gandalf. This was this sorcerer who died in Moria. I assumed that the Elbin was Galadriel and the Elb was Celeborn. The companions did not answer, because Galadriel already knew that Gandalf had died. I had to get a grin. Death was something common place, and in Mordor I often killed a few orcs that didn't obey, so I quickly looked to the ground so no one could see my grin. "He was killed by shadow and flame at the same time," Legolas said, and one could hear grief resonant in his voice, but also a slight whiff of anger, "A Balrog of Morgoth." I looked up at the word Morgoth. I had heard a lot about him, for he was my father's master. "Because we unnecessarily went into the net of Moria," Legolas added, and again I had to smile. Once again, I quickly lowered my gaze and raised a serious face. "None of his actions were unnecessary in life. We don't yet know his full purpose," Galadriel replied with an almost too calm voice. The dwarf looked on the ground ashamed. "Don't let the great emptiness of Kaza-dun fill your heart, Gimli Gloin's son," Galadriel said to him, "For the world is full of pain, and in all countries love now mixes with sorrow." By now I had lifted my head again and watched with interest to the effect the words had on the companions. Everyone was quite distressed, but when Galadriel looked at the brown-haired man for a while, he actually started crying. "What will become of this community, without Gandalf, hope is lost," Celeborn replied, as calm as his wife. "The task is on the precipice. A small mistake will be the ruin of all," Galadriel said. Then she looked at me, "I've never seen you before, nor do I know who you are. Where do you come from?" At first I wanted to tell her that she was not concerned, but at the last moment I was able to stop myself. I wasn't allowed to get unkind, so I just lowered my head and hoped that The "shyness" would be bought from me, but I felt her gaze resting on me and she seemed to be waiting for an answer. "Where do you come from?" she asked softly. "I..." I started and in my head I thought about a credible story, but it didn't catch my mind." Luénna," I said suddenly, and I would have preferred to have slapped myself. How could I be so stupid and say my real name!? It was unlikely because no one knew me and no one would find a connection between mine and that of my father, but it was still risky. "And where do you come from," she asked me. I looked at the floor and pondered what to say. Then the forest-elben empire came to mind, near the Erebor. Sauron wanted to have the mountain but the Elves won the battle for the mountain together with the dwarves. "That cannot be the case," said Legolas, "I come from the Forest Kingdom and I have never seen you there." I stared at him. I knew this Elb would cause me problems. I would have liked to have stabbed him in the throat with a dagger or something, then there would be peace and I could go through my plan, which was half destroyed anyway. However, this would almost certainly betray me and was therefore not an option. I would have to keep him alive and somehow convince him that I hadn't lied. "I'm not that flashy and not everyone knows everyone," I tried to talk myself out somehow. He looked at me sceptically, but for the time being he left it to that. "And why are you here in Lothlorien and not in the Forest Kingdom?" Celeborn asked. It was so predictable that this question would come. "I got that there is a community that wants to destroy the Ring of Power and Wanted to join me," I said very quietly to keep my poor girl upright, "but I didn't dare ask the companions why I sneaked after them to get some of the orcs off their necks. So that the ring is destroyed as soon as possible." After a few seconds of silence, Galadriel finally said, "Go now and rest. It is up to you when you want to move on and also whether you accept Luénna into the community." Inside, I grinned that my plan had worked out. Outwardly, however, I just looked around wondering. Without saying a word, they followed an elbe and I followed them at a certain distance.
And here is Part 3. We hope you like it ^^
