Her Awakening (The Hobbit fanfiction)

Chapter eight

I felt like writing another chapter! My writers block is somewhat gone, so that's great. Next chapter will circle a bit more around a Legolas too. Vote and comment for more!

"She's waking up, I was so worried about her," I heard Tauriels voice said.

"You had me worried there for a second Tau! What happened?" He asked Tauriel, not even knowing I was awake and staring at him. I bit my lip at her nickname and Tauriel noticed.

"Now, is it okay for you to give me a nickname, I'm not royal after all," Tauriel said, looking around the room, making him sigh.

"And to answer your question; the spiders attacked again, we thought you knew." She spoke.

"Nobody informed me." He said.

"Okay?" She said.

"Okay, what?" Legolas asked.

"Nothing, never mind." She replied.

"Nothing, why th-" Legolas said, but I cut him off.

"CAN'T YOU TAKE THAT DISCUSSION SOMEWHERE ELSE!?" I yelled and Legolas finally saw I was awake.

"I can't believe you," I whispered and ran out of the room.

What was these feelings? Why did he make me feel do helpless? I was always used to getting what I wanted, but him.. I couldn't have him.

I was standing outside in the garden, once again looking at the stars. This time I looked back to when Galadriel and I were children instead of searching the stars for any help to defeat Sauron.

As I opened my eyes again, someone unexpected stood beside me.

"Hello Lupina," Her voice spoke and my eyes widened.

"Galadriel?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Lupina, I've come to warn you," She said and I grabbed her hands in mine.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"The ring, the ring is found." She repeated and I raised an eyebrow.

"A ring? What do you mean?" I asked and she nodded slowly.

"It all began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern over each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made." She explained and I nodded as a response.

"In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. And into this ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all. One by one, the free peoples of Middle Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of men and elves marched against the armies of Mordor, and on the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth." She continued and I tried to keep all the new informations within me.

"Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword. And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated." She said.

"Are you telling me the story of Sauron? I've never heard it before," I said and she merely nodded.

"The Ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil forever, but the hearts of men are easily corrupted." She said.

"That's not true!" I protested. "The hearts of men are the strongest I've ever seen, I wish I was-" "Lupina, listen to me!" Galadriel interrupted and I sighed.

"The ring of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur, to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, the ring ensnared a new bearer. The ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels under the Misty Mountains, and there it consumed him. The ring gave to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind; and in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But then something happened that the Ring did not intend." Galadriel's voice became lighter.

"It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable. A hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire. For the time will soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all," She whispered.

"Lupina you have to be careful! Don't tell Thranduil or anyone else for that matter. I beg of you!" She said and before I could ask anything; she was gone.
