"Oh no... Not again...", just passed trough Anneth's mind. Isty did it again. She just had to check what's going on and Anneth was again left with Falathiel with absoultely no idea how to pull them out of this trouble. It was clearly visible that her aunt is angry and worried. Anneth just innocently smiled and looked around "She's right over there." she pointed to a place hidden by the trees. Of course, Isty wasn't there but she was hoping that Falath will believe in what she just said. "Isteleth Galathiel, get back here this instant!" she screamed without opening her mouth. She sent message to her twin telephaticaly.

Isteleth pulled Sirith to a halt, she was ignoring her Sister's screaming protests in her mind and blocked her mind quickly.
"What's it too you who i am" she said fircely, just then the male elf came to a halt next to her.
"Well suiliad, and what's your name?" he said smoothly, Isteleth sighed
"Well seen as you asked nicely i'll tell you" she paused straining her ears for noise
"I'm Isteleth Galathiel" at that point she pulled down her hood to reveal the image of Arwen her mother
"I'm the daughter of King Elessar and Queen Undomiel" she smoothly as she carried on[/i]

Falathiel could tell when Annerueth was lying. And this was one of those times. She decided to use her ability to talk to creatures. A raven came swooping down. "Find an elvish girl riding a horse, with a cloak and that looks like Arwen Undomiel. Her name is Isteleth Galathiel." The raven, who had perched on her arm took off.
A few moments later he returned. I found her he said to the Lady of Light's daughter. He had heard Isteleth say her name. Falathiel turned to her niece.
"Follow me and be silent." She dismounted as silently followed the raven. She crouched among the brush as she saw Isteleth with two other elves. Her bow was strung and she said in a loud, powerful, firm voice, "You are in the Lady of Light's realms. If you value your lives, you will not move."

Lithoniel eyes lit up when she realized that this girl was her cousin, then she was startled by the elf threatening them. Arthion said slowly "If you knew who we are you would not threaten us! I ask nothing for myself, but spare my cousin, the lady, for she is precious to our kin." Lithoniel was touched by her cousin's effort to save her without violence but she turned her head slightly to address the elf hidding in the bushes and said cautiously "As my cousin has said 'if you knew who we were you would not threaten us' I am well aware I am in the Lady's realm as is she. I am her grandaughter and have full permission to roam as I will!" She really did not wish to use her title as The Lady of Imladris to sway them, she wanted only to know who they were and to have them except her for who she was. Lithoniel kept her gaze on the elf with the bow and would not back down...

"Huh, your title has no meaning to me. As you are in my lands, I am ruler over you. And Isteleth is more precious to me than you can possibly imagine." She didn't like using her rulership to submit people but it annoyed her that this elf thought she had power over a whole diffrent kingdom. "My mother has no knowledge of your prescence, I can assure you. If she did, the Wardens would be here to escort you." Her blue hood fell revealing her face, an exact replica of Galadriel's. "I am Falathiel Lothendhel, Princess of Lorien and this is my niece, who is under my protection. If you do not lie, then I am also your aunt. May I ask, who is your mother?" She may have sounded harsh but she had become over protective since Elenanna's death.

Lithoniel looked at the other elf cautiously "My mother is Malda of Lorien and my father Elladen, son of Elrond." She waited for the elf's reply...

Her eyes lit up. She hadn't heard from brother in years. "Tell me, is my brother well? He hasn't come to see us for a great while."

Isteleth looked round and saw her Aunt walking out from the brush
"Falath!" she exclaimed, she was surprised that she had been found so quickly, she could normally go days without being found, she spotted her sister and quickly walked over to her
"You know Anneth you have to get better at lying" she whispered as she watched Falathiel and Lithoniel talk.
"So we have a new cousin" Anneth whispered back, Isteleth nodded looking at Lithoniel's cousin Arthion, he caught her eye and smiled at them both

((You do know I'm talking about Elrond's son?? Sorry... but I thought you said you were Galadriel's daughter... that would make Elladen your nephew))

"My father has sailed West, so I am sure he is well" Lithoniel replied. She dismounted her horse and Arthion did likewise, then he cleared his throat pointedly "Ah! I am forgetting" Lithoniel said "Umm... Aunt?" she tried out the name "This is my cousin, Arthion, he is my mother's nephew and no stranger to these lands." When she finished speaking Arthion stepped forward and laid his hand on his chest as a greeting "Suiliad" he said "I am much relieved you changed your mind about shooting us" then he laughed gayly and turned to the twins "Well I already know your name, Isteleth, but who is this creature who is your exact beautiful image" He waited for their reply. Lithoniel rolled her eyes and shook her head. I'll have to warn my new cousins about Arthion, the flirt, before he has them both in love and fighting over him Then walked over to meet the other girl...

((well i'm gonna post for Anneth quickly))

Isteleth smiled
"This is my twin sister Annerueth Adhara" she smiled proudly at her
Isteleth walked over to meet Lithoniel and causght her thought
"Sorry i just caught what you thinking, you won't have to worry about me, i have given my heart to somone else, Anneth i'm not to sure yet" she smiled and looked at her cousins face
"Wow this is weird, i don't know much about my family, i know of my sisters and brother, for some reason i have never met any cousins" she looked away and quickly called for her sisters help but instead it was Falathiel that came to her aid

((whoa is this really what happens when coursework gets to you?? your writing becomes lousy???))

(oops sorry I got Elrond mixed up with Celeborn)

She laughed as Arthion. "Yes, I am too." Sensing her nieces distress, Falathiel put a hand on Isteleth's shoulder to comfort her. She looked at her Lithoniel and Arthion. They seemed about the same age as her.

_________________

Lithoniel thought You can read my thoughts? and she heard Isteleth's voice in her head saying Yes I can Lithoniel was astonished this had never happened before You mean we can communicate without Arthion hearing? YES!! This is wonderful!! Lithoniel had a strange expression on her face and Arthion asked "Are you alright, Lith?" she snapped herself out of it and said "Yes I'm fine, just overjoyed at finding my cousins." she hoped Arthion would believe her, he usually did. He just shrugged and turned back to Annerueth, he said something and they both laughed at it. Lithoniel rolled her eyes again then turned to her Great-Aunt and Cousin Isteleth and said "I wonder in all these years I have only heard faintly of you all. Everyone in Rivendell rejoiced over my cousin's birth and when the one was found again. I can't remember which it was..." her voice trailed off as she tried to remember...

Falathiel heard Isteleth and Lithoniel's conversation but kept it to herself. She had inherited the gift of reading and contacting people through their minds from her mother but she hadn't used it since before the attack of Elenanna.

She knew why her great-niece had never really heard of them. Because of the prophecy. All of the family has tried to keep the four of them unknown. Falathiel smiled. It had proven difficult for them when the four where constantly going around fighting wars.

Lithoniel looked at her newly-found relations and said "So where are you headed? We were just touring Lothlorien aimlessly, I'm sure we would be happy to join you if that would be agreeable..." then Arthion said "I would be happy to lend you ladies my protection" then he made an eloquent bow. Lithoniel sighed, she loved her cousin dearly but he could get annoying, especially when he was, from her point of view , making a fool of himself. At one time they had been intended for each other, but since it was an arranged marriage that neither of them wanted, it was canceled and they remained close friends. These thoughts and memories ran through Lithoniel's mind as she waited for her Aunt and Cousins' reply... Perhaps I should be more careful of what I think around my kin, they all seem to be able to read my thoughts, I wonder if they can read Arthions...

Arthion had been speaking with Annerueth, when he heard his cousin's question and made his noble display. Both of these girls are very beautiful, tis hard to believe they are mortal. But then they are half-elven. But I believe Annerueth to be the prettier of the two.. He thought this as he waited for the laidies reply...

Falathiel nodded. "We are headed to the Lorien Palace. I was escorting my nieces there. You must join us as night shall fall soon and the forest is not as safe as it used to be." She gave a small smile as Arthion's thoughts drifted into her mind. Yes, perhaps you shall win her over she said back but didn't make eye contact. At least she could animously(sp?) do good for someone else. For some reason, being cold and independant made her feel better about her sister's death but helping someone once in a while would also improve her mood. It also helped that during telepathy her voice sounded more like her mother's. Falathiel hadn't found that special someone yet and was glad that Annerueth might have found hers.

Isteleth nodded at her aunts reply
"We are headed to the Lorien Palace. I was escorting my nieces there. You must join us as night shall fall soon and the forest is not as safe as it used to be." she said and Isteleth agreed
"Yes you should and dine with us" She smiled
"And then if my aunt would allow it, you may rest in chambers you see fit!" she looked at her aunt who nodded
"Let us move then, toward the Palace" Isteleth carried on

As they started to move onward Isteleth pulled back to Lithoniel's side
"I don't mean to intrude but i heared some of your thoughts about your cousin and yourself, and then you thought about how to be carefull about thinking around us incase we overheared, and i was going to ask you if you know how to block your mind? because it can stop fellow telepath's from reading un wanted thought" she finished then thought
"or you just want to block out the sound of annoying relations" she grinned and Lithoniel laughed
