Double, Double Trouble

T.A. 2537

Arnor

"I name you 'Naarinya.' Female flame. Ranger of the North, and in service of the one true King." Arvegil said hoarsely.

"I just wanted to say thank you, Arvegil."

"Dear Lìvia, it is I who should be thanking you. If it was not for you...the line would be dead."

I smiled.

"Thank you." He whispered.

"You are all the more welcome."

He smiled closing his eyes, and taking a final breath.

Then it got quite, no one wanted to say it.

A few more seconds passed and I broke the silence.

"Is he-"

"He is." Elrohir whispered.

Arveleg pulled the blanket up to cover his fathers' face.

And let the family grieve the following days, till burial.

~~~

The small village gathered for the burial of their leader.

As they carried Arvegil to his grave, the wind carried its own tune.

I sang.

"Days feel harder, night grows longer.

Summer says its goodbyes.

Darkness covers, we find shelter.

Our own place to hide.

Oh, as the light goes out.

Thoughts turn to angles on the run.

Oh as the night comes in.

Dreams start their drifting and you hear a lullaby."

Rivendell

We entered Rivendells' gates before the setting sun. Taking our horses back into the sables, and made our way back, hoping to change before dinner.

"You think we are in the clear" I asked.

"I think so. I cannot believe we got-"

Elladan was interrupted by a stern clearing of the throat.

We looked to see Ada at the top of the stairs.

(Ah, lembas bread.)

"What is rule number seven?" He asked coming down to meet us.

"Never go anywhere without a weapon?" I questioned.

"No, that's rule number nine." Elladan corrected.

"Right."

"Be specific if you're going to lie." Ada reminded, coming down the stairs.

"That's on them two." I stated pointing at my brothers.

"Rule number three."

"Don't believe what you're told. Double check."

Ada nodded.

"Lìvia, you're grounded. No, practicing, no leaving the borders, -"

(Ah come on!)

"-and no studies."

"Oh that did it." Elladan commented.

'Ada!-'

"No, I do not want excuses. You are going to have to face the consequences of your actions."

"Yea, Lìvia got to face the consequences." Elrohir stated.

"Do not think you two are getting out of this. You're grounded as well. No, practicing, and no leaving the borders."

'Ada-' They wined.

"Now, don't you two start."

"Yea, face the consequences." I mimicked.

They stuck their tongues out at me, which I returned.

"Actual fifty year olds."

"I'm offended cause I'm not even fifty yet."

Ada gave a quick smile.

"Congrats on becoming a Ranger, Lìvia."

'Hanna le, Ada.'

"You're still grounded."

2 weeks later

I'm dying! Its so boring, someone save me from this nightmare!

Three hours of nothing! With the exception of listening to reports.

I wanted to bang my head against a pillar, it was so bad.

Oh, and hear is the best part. I'm grounded for three years! Three years of that! I'll be dead by then. I'll never make it to fifty, or even a hundred, for that matter.

Valar be with me.
