Her feet barely registered to grass on which she walked. All her senses were numb, like they could not focus on the world around them. Arwen as walking. She was not sure where, but it was as if she were trying to escape something. Her mind was so focused, it took a few moments to realise there was a friendly hand on her shoulder. Spinning around, "Rhylin! I never heard you come!" Rhylin smiled at her, and simply replied
"You would not have heard an entire army behind you." This was what she needed. Someone to talk too, someone who could be fair and get everything in perspective. "You used the palantir then?" Rhylin asked, knowing that the answer was yes.
Arwen managed to nod. She knew now that if she opened her mouth, everything would come rushing out. Surveying the faery next to her, she realised exactly what he knew.
"Who saw it then? In a vision, I mean?" She asked. As much as she enjoyed their company, Arwen did not want everybody to know.
"Arracus, he told only Cellius and I." There was a pause, as they walked further. "What are you going to do?"
That was something Arwen had not considered yet. What did she do?
"I still love him. Until last night, I thought him to be dead. But then...,then." Her voice trailed off, and all the pain and anger that had so far been kept inside surfaced. "I love him Rhylin. I gave up my life to be with him." The words were barely audible through her desperate sobs. "He wore the necklace. My necklace. The whole time, it was around his neck. He didn't even take it off."
Rhylin had no answer for that. He knew the she-elf very little, but there was something inside her that touched him.
"Come on. I'll get you back. Arracus will wonder where you've gotten to." Putting his arm around her shoulders, he guided her back to the fire.
Before they sat down on arrival, Arwen had decided what had to be done on her part.
"I must go back." Taking a deep breath to compose herself she explained. "He has my heart. And my necklace, which shows my love for him. If I can get it back, maybe, I can start to reclaim my heart." Finishing her words with two silent tears, she left the faeiries company, to use her palantir again.
