Galadriel's Gift
~~~Galadriel's Gift~~~ ● Although the once ineffable strength of the Lady of Lothlórien, descendant of the Ñoldor, was diminishing beyond what this Middle-Earth could bear, by the end of the Third Age, on a dim winter night, she nonetheless, collected her faculty and spoke assuredly to the rugged-faced Ranger kneeling before her, “Know you not what has come upon us, Elessar?” She cradled his face with her pale, slender hands and bade him stand, “You have your own choice to make, and I - I must away to Valinor with the Eldar.” She trembled imperceptibly as she spoke the last few words, but quickly recovered and continued to gaze searchingly into his solemn, grey eyes. ● Finally, after a long moment of silence, she reached into her ivory gown and pulled forth the Green Elfstone of Eärendil. It glint incandescent and coquettish like a hummingbird mid-flight from blossom to blossom. She placed it upon his breast and whispered, “Melda, órë-ninya nás nyényë tenna nalmë yúyo varna ar cuina sívë minë.” ("Beloved, my heart, it is weeping until we are both safe and living as one.") ● “For should you fail in your quest....” she trailed, letting the words billow around them; a sunless smoke whose mask portended the growing might of Sauron’s reach, and the uncertainty which increasingly filled the hearts of creatures from land to sea, and sky to earth. By the light of Telperion's last flower, she thought, and the strength of Laurelin's last fruit, I shan’t cease to love him. Not if it is with my last belabored breath. ● And with that, she loosened the silver clasp on the brooch around her neck, took hold of Aragorn’s hand and firmly placed the jewel into it. “May you see what once was withered and blighted as now whole and assured.” ~~~ ● A re-imagining of the Tolkienian legendarium: what if Galadriel and Aragorn had been in-love and unrelated through his marriage to Arwen? ● © Copyright 2015 Seraphime Angelis, All Rights Reserved. ● "The Gift of Galadriel", the Elessar stone from the Valar goes to Aragorn with the woods of Lothlorien in the background, art by Greg and Tim Hildebrandt, from the Rolozo Tolkien site. ● sometimesbrandthe.blogspot.com
