Light in the Dark

Chapter 1: Travels

Tears fell freely from two elven faces. A couple.

One, female, long silver blonde hair with bright blue eyes, though they showed pain and upset. She wore a white dress and cloak including a hood that rested at her shoulders. Her shoes matched though they were hidden by the length of the dress.

The other, male, dark brown hair with braids resting in front of his ears. He had grey eyes, that currently resembled stone giving away his upset. He wore tan robes over dark brown boots. A silver circlet adorned his head effortlessly.

The pair were embraced, crying on each other's shoulders silently, knowing why they must part ways. The time had come.

It wasn't always like this

Elves. Tall and glowing ever so slightly. Most were wearing hoods and dresses of delicate purple and white. However a pair stand out by their hair and grace and the slight glow to their frames. The male, Celeborn, wore a light purple and white robe. His blue grey eyes resting gently on his wife, Galadriel. Galadriel wore all white, which made her look almost bride like. Her eyes were a bright blue. Together their eyes flicker over the moving elves, standing still amongst the line of elves moving towards the newly built city of Rivendell that had hardly been up a year. The pair were waiting for another, younger than the rest, their daughter Celebrían was travelling with them, her curious eyes glancing at everything around her. Celebrían ressembles her mother, her hair a wavy silver blond and bright blue eyes that enchanted most people that looked at her. Her dress was long light blue with silver and white details on her cloak and hood.

"Celebrían" her mother calls gently

Celebrían sighs and resumes her walking. It was no secret that Celebrían dislikes travelling for her parents meetings and how they always managed to shield her from the worlds goings on but she never openly complained to her parents.

Though as time went on Celebrían couldn't hide the longing for adventure. Even with her friends with her most of the time.

Imelda was one of her oldest friends, one of the few Gondolin left, which was evident by the golden hair on her head, though she did hide her hair most of the time under her armour and a wig as to not discuss her past.

Thalia was like a sister, having being taken in by Celebrían's parents after her parents were killed amongst a battle. Thalia was smart and kind, often found in a library.

Celebrían resumed walking, only slowing her pace when she found her friends. It took a few minutes to reach the valley to reach Rivendell. None of the elves could help but to let out a gasp at the scene. While there was still construction going on the main house and courtyard, as well as the housing for the residents, were finished. Celebrían found herself lost in the scenery, glancing around at the valley trees and waterfalls as well as the buildings and bridges, that she didn't notice everyone moving.

"Celebrían" Galadriel says softly
"Sorry" Celebrían says softly, starting to follow silently
