Nienna gasped, "a dream? you had a dream? i had a dream myself to leave the halls of the original Nienna and explore. i wonder if they are connected..." she lost herself in thought for a few moments before shaking her head and returning to the present. "A dream is a very important thing, especially if they become true." she stared at Marwawen, and she wondered if she HAD seen her before. she didn't think so, but now that she got a good look at her wihtout her eyes being clowded by tears, it was very pssible...

Marwawen smiled shyly.
"I had never had a dream like it before... execpt once. I stood on a hill, full of wild flowers. Infront of me was the Shire... or I'm pretty sure it was the shire. There were hills, with round doors of all kinds of colors, and halflings, in one area, and other things that I remember being on a map of the Shire. Next there was a bright light, and the dream flickered to a... a vision of an army of goblins I think headed tward it. Then I woke up..."

Marwawen looked at the ones in the room, she barely knew anyone here. She sat down on a chair...

Arwen looked again into the eyes of Frodo..."I understand what you are going through! I feel it! The evil rises, the hurt, I feel all the time. It does not let me sleep.

But I have faith in you! Though you may feel pain, everyone...everywhere is in need of your faith, you may not understand what I am saying now, but keep it with you! It will help you...

Arwen smiles gently...and looked away to the horizon thinking of something far, far away, but still stoking Frodo's hair motheringly...(:))

"in my dream, i saw my home village, and my father. he has changed greatly, and the evil and hate that resides in his heart has grown stronger. he hated me because of my special abilities at healing and other things. he thought i had come to destroy them. and then my vision changed, a hooded figure walked toward me and stopped and said,'You must leave this place and go out into the lands, you will find something, and when you do, you will know that that is your destiny.' it was a women's voice, it was deep,and it held a soothing yet terrible sound. i know not who it was, but i felt that i needed to heed it."

She looked around the group, and she then realized that this was what she was supposed to find! she WAS meant to help.

Goldberry walked towards Frodo. She knelt down and looked into his eyes. She could sense a secret...

'Dreams...' he said

'It's what i have felt all along...it's what i told you of!' he jumped up suddenly...'We have to so something...this evil cannot be prolonged...we must act!'

'EXACTLY!' Bombadil jumped up and Elthara joined them as they stood.
'Summon a council is what we must do' he said
'The figure you speak of in your dreams...the hooded one...that was Elrond, for i myself have had similar dreams and it is he who requires us to act' Elthara interupted.

Frodo clenched his chest and fell to the floor with agony. The pain was back. And this time...worse than ever.

Arwen, still listening about the council looked over and saw that Frodo had fallen to the ground and was silently screaming...she rushed over and picked up his head....
"Elrond will soon be here, Telin le thaed lasto beth nin tolo dan nan galad...keep faith Frodo...keep faith..."

Nienna rushed over to Arwen and Frodo to help. she closed her eyes and touched Frodo's forehead and let her life energy flow into him. shw felt herself being drained,but she held on and kept the life flowing into him. her faced paled and she began shaking, but she did not break her concentration or open her eyes, she would not give up!

"Nienna there are other ways! Do not give youself up for Frodo! Not now!"
Arwen hoped badly that her father would would come soon!

" I hope Lucy was not stopped in any way on here journey! We are in need of my father!"

Arwen looked outside worryingly...a tear rolling down her cheek...

Check out this sight!

When Arwen cried out to her, Nienna realized what she was doing and broke the connection, but it was all but too late. Nienna collapsed on the ground, her eyes flickered open for a moment as she whispered, "I had to,for Frodo." she then closed her eyes and slipped into unconciousness.

(sorry my absence, family problems...)

Lucy couldn't find Elrond, so Elthara took her in her horse to seek council. They rode for miles and miles, and Elthara became a great friend of the little hobbit so she told her many stories from the past. But Lucy fell asleep and when she opened her eyes, she saw... nothing! It was dark, the moon was shinning up in the sky but the wind was blowing so hard that it seemed it was singing a sad lament...

- Where am I? Where is Elthara? - the hobbit thought.

Then she saw a house surrounded by a huge and beautiful garden! She could stand there watching those flowers for the rest of her life! But then she heard voices inside the house, so she came close to the window and saw many people inside the house, including Elthara and... oh my, Tom Bombadil!? Yes, he was real! And all those people were standing around someone who had just fallen... Frodo!

- Should I come inside? Should I stay here? What a hobbit like me can do in such an important council like this, full of elves and people of great importance?

Marwawen stood up at Frodo's fall. She ran, and caught Nienna before she fell to the floor. She stroked the elf's hair and wispered.
"Tolo dan na ngalad," She felt a bit of power loss, but not enouph to affect her, and the power went into Nienna. Laying her down gently on the floor, Marwawen backed away silently to sit in the corner of the room...

Tom Bombadil looked shocked and Goldberry rushed straight over to the unconcious Nienna. She whispered Elven magic into her ear as she lay limp and she kissed her head. Nienna was revivied completley.

'What you have just done has shown great courage, elf' said Bombadil...
'For that is what i was hoping for...'

Everyone looked at Bombadil suddenly. Frodo was breathing heavily but still managed to cast an uncertain glance at the big friendly fellow.

The room fell silent.

Elthara ran to Lucy and explained what was happening.

'Wh..what do you mean?' Frodo said as he tilted his head

'Yes Frodo m'lad. She has shown what I was hoping for. And now...i believe it is time...'

'Time for what?' Frodo replied approaching Bombadil with caution.

'For our last feast!' he cried whlst flinging his arm around Frodo

'For tommorow my lad...it will be time...'

Frodo watched as Bombadil got ready to set the table with everyone following him apprehensivley. He fell down against the wall and his eyes moved back and forth as they were focused on the ground. He panted slowly...but he knew in his heart that the time was approaching fast. He clenched his chest and frowned as his eyes closed. He began to mumble words 'Sam...' 'Shire...' 'Crickhollow!' he exclaimed suddenly.

Nienna stood up, shakily,but she managed it. "Mr. Bombadil, I do not wish to seek glory, and what I did was not great courage, it was almost foolish. but it happened to work. I am a young, inexperienced elf. the glory goes to Marwawen who used her judgement to give me my life back."

She then noticed Frodo. "Crickhollow? Frodo, what do you mean? do you feel that the evil lurks there?" She looked intently upon Frodo, she could not read his face, but there was definately something important there.

_________________

Frodo writhed around in pain. He opened his eyes suddenly and stood. He had not realised what had just happened.

'Frodo...' Elthara said....'Crickhollow...what about it?'

Frodo looked Vacant

Elthara turned to Bombadil

'Something is wrong here, why is it he has no clue what just happened to him?'

Bombadil looked at Elthara 'It's beginning...what i feared would finally come is here...for this evil is no ordinary evil...understand dear friends that this evil is going to result in the loss of many things...and i don't just mean lives...souls...feelings...everything.'

Frodo looked afraid and he stepped towards Bombadil. He pulled up a chair.

'Okay...what do you know?'

Manwawen looked up at Tom Bombadil, eyes horrified. She had already lost almost all she had accept her companions. She had even, once or twice, lost her mind and had gone crazy. She had lost close friends, family. A tear came down her cheak.

"I knew there was a growing evil... but I... I didn't think it was that bad..." she wipered, almost to herself...

'There are many things you still don't know young elf. Though you are wise...you still have no idea what is going on...

Life in Middle-Earth is changing.

I have felt it...even before you...young Frodo, set out on your quest to destroy the ring.

There is no knowing what it is we are up against, but the fact that you are feeling this so much, is only the beginning, and will be the least of the pain any one of you which choose to go out on this quest will be faced with. Minds will be lost...Memories possibly...if you thought, young hobbit, that the time of the ring was bad...history is about to repeat itself seven times over. There is no way we can possibly begin to imagine what it is we are up against until we meet again with our friends...'

Frodo looked anxious

'Yes young Hobbit...you thought that your part in this tale was over, when in fact it has just begun...'

'Sam...' Frodo muttered

Bombadil nodded.

'But he has a family now! Responsabilities! There's no way i want to be taken out onto another quest, and by the way you speak of it, a far more devastating one...if it means I have to take Sam away from his family!'

'There is no guarentee as to who will be a part of this journey...but is for certain that a council needs to take place, prefrebly here...where we know we are safe. We must summon the wisest, fairest and most intelligent of all beings...It is time young Frodo'
