CHAPTER THIRTY ONE
The whole of Golden Wood pulsed with the beat of Will’s heart. Grant it, you had to stop and, listen closely to hear it but it was there none the less.
Only the chosen few knew the cause or meaning of the beat and those who didn’t gossiped about it greatly. Galadriel refused to answer questions and nobody even thought to ask Celeborn.
The Lord of the wood felt a great unease, having Will’s heart in his home made them a target. It didn’t take a genius to work out if you had control of the Captain’s heart the ring was yours on a Mithril platter.
Celeborn trusted his wife completely in all matters but he still worried. One morning he sent for Haldir, with his study door closed firmly behind them. He looked the guardian in the eye noting the keen intelligent within them.
“I have a task for you which must be kept secret at least for the time being. Return to your talan and gather provisions for an indefinite posting.”
Haldir was back in front of his Lord in less than thirty minutes. Celeborn picked up his own pack and gestured for Haldir to follow him. The journey went on in silence as they travelled deeper and higher into the wood.
Even Haldir who knew himself to be an excellent climber found it tough going after a while. He had never been in this part of the forest before it felt very old. The sight of the ornate platform was a welcome relief and both landed lightly on it. Celeborn tossed his water bottle to Haldir who drank gratefully from it. Then they sat and ate a few bites of lembas.
Only when there meal was over did Celeborn speak, “Do you ever regret bonding into Thranduil’s family?”
Haldir looked surprised but replied, “I feel many emotions but never regret.”
“The ring is back, as is the Captain and Thranduil” Celeborn watched but Haldir’s face gave little away.
“Gandalf’s visit?” Was his simple response.
“We are taking care of the Captains heart while he continues with his destiny” Celeborn rubbed the back of his neck.
“He is going to destroy the ring, he must be very brave and selfless” Haldir was impressed.
“It is clear to see you have never met the man, brave maybe” Celeborn’s words trailed off as he realized Haldir was giving him a funny look.
The Lord climbed to his feet and walked over to the trees trunk, “Pay attention Haldir.”
Haldir watched as the hiding place was revealed to him. The small wooden chest was lifted out of the trees trunk. Celeborn came back over and sat opposite Haldir placing the chest between them.
“Touch it” Celeborn ordered firmly.
Haldir did as he was bid; “sweet Lady” was all he could murmur.
“You are to guard the Captains heart, by doing so you will also be protecting Golden Wood and all who dwell in it. You will stay here until further notice, now return the chest to it hiding place.” He watched as Haldir did as he was told.
Celeborn smiled, “You are one of my best warriors and I have faith in all your abilities.”
“I will not fail you my Lord” Haldir promised.
