Chapter 4 ~Defeat and Acceptance~
Sitting down on a beautifully stone cared bench, Galadriel motioned for Celeborn’s hand.
“Haldir why don’t you sit down?”
“I’d rather stand.” he replied skeptically. “What is it that you wish to speak about with me?”
“Well, Haldir you have served me well all these millennia’s but I think its time that you take a different path.” Galadriel stated hushing Haldir when his jaw dropped in protest. “ Not that you are losing your position as March Warden; I - we think you should take care of Eámanë.”
“Mani? (What?!!)This is nonsense. I can not take care of a child, let alone a HUMAN child.
“You will lower you voice. You can not honestly believe that you are happy alone. Haldir Uuma dela (Don’t Worry) this is for the best you will see. I will send for a servant to
“Amin (uuma) merna at.(I don‘t want it) Why must I bare such a burden?” Haldir interrupted.
“Do you noust ust me Haldir? Are you questioning my motives?” Galadriel asked with anger in her voice.
Knowing when to back down Haldir suppressed the anger that had surfaced and bowed to His lady Galadriel.
“Amin hiraetha (I am sorry) my lady. It was wrong of me to question you. If you wish that I take care of the Mortal child, then I will do so.” He replied emphasizing the word mortal with disgust.
“Very well, I have ordered that your talan in the city be just the way you like it; and Eámanë will stay in a talan near yours with the maid servant Ashana. I do not expect her to live with you I just think you should raise her or at least teach her. I know you have always wanted to pass your knowledge and skill to someone and this is the perfect opportunity to do so.”
Relief and surprise flooded Haldir’s emotions at Galadriel‘s last statement. He had never told anyone of his desire to teach, yet he did agree that this was a opportunity that was never an option to him before. What he couldn’t figure out was why this mortal child? Galadriel could have easily sent it off to a mortals kingdom and forgotten about it but she had a definite interest in this one.
There was something unusual about Eámanë, and no matter how much he would protest and deny it deep down he felt he would enjoy teaching her the ways of the elves.
“Well at least there will be one civilized human in Middle Earth after I get through with her.” Haldir stated, causing Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn to smile in victory.
“Will I at least be able to return to my post if I feel like it?” Haldir asked hoping he could hold on to some dignity. “If I spend all of my time with this child the others will assume I have lost my edge and turned weak. The respect they have for me will diminish rapidly and all I will have to show for it is a mortal.”
“You will gain more respect Haldir. How many elves do you know that were brave enough to raise a human? They will ask questions at first but all things will reveal them selves in time and you will thank me for this opportunity.” Galadriel said reassuringly.
“You may return to your post now because your training will not start for at least a year or two, the child is still too young therefore you do not have to worry just yet. I suggest you enjoy your time guarding our boarders for now because the task I have assigned you will not be easy.” Galadriel said as she stood up. “Haldir before you go I’d like you to introduce you to Ashana.”
Ashana walked into the once tense atmosphere and bowed to the three elves in respect.
“Hello Marchwarden, I am Ashana.”
“Hello” He replied.
“I will take the child now Lady Galadriel, dinner is ready and I know you must be hungry.”
“Remember what I told you.” Galdriel stated as Haldir was leaving.
“Thank the Valar that went well Celeborn. No-one else is fit to teach this child. I just hope Haldir will not let his reputation belittle his teachings.” She said as she handed the child to Ashana.
“Thank you Ashana you may leave now.” Celeborn stated. “We’ve had a rather busy day, I suggest we take Ashana’s advice and go eat dinner.”
“Yes, lets.” Galadriel replied.
