The Hobbit Imagines

Warden (Haldir)

July 10, 2016: Which two characters should I make an "Choose Your Own Adventure" imagine for? I'm thinking that your decisions will affect who you end up with, if you guys want to read something like that.

Thanks for reading!

P.S. A Thorin imagine is up next...

You're visiting your grandmother, Galadriel, and you become fascinated by one of the wardens.

You unmounted your horse and looked up at the tall trees of Lothlórien. You felt welcomed by the slight breeze, tingling your senses and moving the limbs of trees.

The cool atmosphere of Lothlórien rejuvenated you, unlike the atmosphere of Rivendell. Since your father wanted you and your sister to leave for the Grey Havens, he constantly tried to convince you to leave. Your sister, however, had a different opinion. Refusing to leave, she would argue with your father seemingly nonstop. Thus, your house in Rivendell seemed stuffy and tense.

You were torn between the two sides of your family; leaving Middle Earth meant leaving all of the mortal friends you had acquired over the years, but you would be safe and joyous in the Grey Havens. It was a life changing decision, and you needed some time to think about it without your father and sister trying to persuade you.

Rather suddenly, you decided to visit your beloved grandmother, Galadriel for a break. Her company and wise words always put your mind and heart at ease.

You nodded your head at the guards as they allowed you to ascend up the stairs, to your grandmother's dwelling.

The stairs ran along the side of the massive tree and spiraled upward until you reached a system of bridges that connected all of the buildings of Lothlórien together.

But these stairs wrapped around the tree so many times that it became slightly monotonous trying to reach your destination.

You were focused on where you were stepping until you collided into someone going to opposite direction as you.

"My apologies, I didn't-" you started and looked up to meet the elf in the eyes.

You didn't recognize him from all of your trips to Lothlórien. By now, you were fairly acquainted with everyone that dwelled within Lothlórien. In addition to that, you believed you would be able to remember an attractive, young male.

He bowed, "My apologies as well, my lady."

He briskly walked passed you and continued descending down the stairs.

You stood there for a minute, thinking about the odd occurrence, before you continued to go up the stairs.

When you reached the top, you saw Galadriel smiling at you in the distance. You smiled back and crossed the bridge to reach her.

As you met her, she greeted you, "Welcome back to Lothlórien," Galadriel spoke in the calm, wise tone she always used.

Instead of responding, you quickly embraced her in a hug. She chuckled at the unexpected gesture and hugged you back.

You released her from your grip. "Ah, I've missed this place," you said.

Both of you started to head to Galadriel's house for some tea.
