Chapter three recovery
Arien’s rays were slowly getting through again. The storm had died. But none of Lorien’s inhabitants could care less. They were all worried about their lord.
Orophin and Rumil were keeping their brother warm, constantly speaking to him. They were greatly troubled. Rumil looked at Orophin, a silent question in his eyes. He did not have to voice it, for the same thoughts were in Orophin’s mind. If Celeborn did not survive, they would lose Haldir as well.
Envinyaroa the healer was giving all his attention to lord Celeborn. He had bound the wound and had applied the herbs. Now all he could do, all anyone could do, was wait, hope and pray.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haldir groaned as he awoke. He was a bit shiverish and his vision a bit blurrish. He looked at his brothers questioningly. A look that was completely lost to them for both Rumil as Orophin were extremely glad to see their brother awake. They enveloped him in such a tight hug Haldir not only felt squished, he was having difficulties breathing.
“Nice to see you two too.” Then he remembered Celeborn. He sat upright in bed pulling his brothers closer by their collars. “Celeborn…” He couldn’t finish his sentence. A couching fit attacked him.
Envinyaroa was besides him immediately. He had already brewed a concoction that would kill the cold Haldir had contracted and handed it to the Warden.
“You should not stay out in the rain so long, Haldir.” Haldir merely looked accusing. If the situation wasn’t so serious the healer would have laughed, but now he merely nodded. “You found him in time, Haldir. He will live, but the question is for how long.”
Rumil and Orophin jumped up. “What do you mean for how long? Either he lives or he dies.”
But Haldir shook his head. “No, brothers. He wanted to end his life. Even if he lives he might try again.” The words were spoken with great effort. Haldir would be exhausted for at least one more day.
“Haldir is correct.” Envinyaroa said. “That is precisely what I’m afraid of. I think we all need to keep a close eye on him.”
Haldir slumped back, he needed to be completely healthy again by the time Celeborn would leave this house. But he was confident they could keep him alive. After all, the trees and birds would help.
The others saw his contented smile.
“Haldir?” Rumil didn’t understand this sudden blissful state.
“the birds, the trees, they told me.” Was all he could voice before sleep claimed him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was close now. So close.
He knew he had risked his soul’s happiness with this action but he had to do it. He could not keep the others here any tha than he could sail to Valinor. Suicide had been the only way. And now he was coming closer to Mandos’ halls.
But energy and warmth kept seeping into his body and soul.wondwondered where it came from. His people, he realised, they had found him and were trying to save him. ‘no, let me, let me set you free’ But his thoughts would not reach any of them.
He walked on, he could already see the gate. He could see Mandos standing there, looking at him, ready to welcome a new elf into his halls.
But still Celeborn felt warmth and energy seeping into him. He turned to shoot at whoever it was. In doing so he saw his body, he saw himself on the bed, he saw Envinyaroa taking care of him. He saw the three remaining Galadhrim standing there. But one face held him captive. That one face was what pulled him back, even if he didn’t realise it.
And Mandos saw Celeborn return and he smiled. Maybe now he would let himself be happy. Mandos hoped so. If not he would have to intervene.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celeborn realised he was back in his body. He was lying on a bed in the healer’s house.
He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn’t, not far anyway. Through his lashes he saw Envinyaroa sitting on a chair talking to him.
“You gave us quite a scare my lord, but at least Mandos’ cold has left your body now. That is good. I will have to go tell the Galadhrim, but I will be back soon. They are waiting in the room next door. Haldir is unconscious. He has gotten a slight cold in the weather today, and he’s exhausted himself getting you here on time. he saved you, my lord. And you know his brothers. They don’t leave his side now. Oh, I mustn’t forget this concoction. He needs to drink it as soon as he awakens.”
The healer left and Celeborn managed to understand what he had just heard. Haldir and his brothers were in the next room. They weren’t here at all. But he had seen them, standing next to him. He realised it was an illusion, probably created by the Valar.

Translations:
Envinyaroa means the healer.:
Envintata- is the verb for to heal, renew.
~ro means he
and a can be used for that.
So literally his name means he who heals. Appropriate name for a healer, no?
Notes:
Sorry, it’s a short one.
I just found out (in the same book I refer to in the extra notes) that Peredhil is plurial and Peredhel single (Just one elf as opposed to more) I didn’t know that and I apologize if I used it wrongly. From now on I will watch it and I will check all previous chapters on it when I have the time.
Extra notes:
I found the meanings of some names and thought to put them down as well, just in case you are interested.
I got it from the Tolkien lexicon.
Celeborn:
Tree of silver. Rather nice don’t you think.
And he’s a the most powerful Sindar, apparently. Good. I can sure use that. I also found his lineage and decided to use that as well. It will pop up somewhere.
Elladan:
I’ve read two different meanings to Elladan’s name; one being manperson and the other man of the stars. Sme for Elrohir: Starrider of manrider. I don’t know which is actually the correct one, but I think if you pick, you need to be consequent. I mean for both to have the man or star in the translation, not one man and the other star.
Elrond:
Stardome. Rather nice name I’d say.
Erestor:
I couldn’t find anything on him, only that he is Elrond’s counsellor. It doesn’t even say he’s the chief counsellor. But since everybody says he is, I guess he is.
Galadhrim:
Here I’ve seen two possible meanings. One is followers of Galadriel, the other people of trees. I am going for the first, not only because I have better use for it, but also because it’s the first one I’ve read.
Galadriel:
In Quenya it would be: Altariel. It means Shining wreathed virgin.
Glorfindel:
Golden haired.
In case we were doubting his hair colour I suppose.
Haldir:
The book does not give a translation. Me crying here. If anyone can figure it out, let me know. There is, however, mention of a Haldir, son of Halmir of Haladin. The Haladin are the People of Haleth, the second home of the edain and also the least violent one.
So maybe our Haldir is named after this one.
Lindir:
Means ‘one who sings’ and according to the book he was probably a Rivendell bard. So that’s what he’ll be in When least expected. A minstrel.
Orophin:
I had no luck tracking this name. Can anybody figure out it’s meaning? Diolla le.
Rumil:
Again no translation is given. Pity. But just like Haldir Rumil might be named after another. Either that or they both a reborn elves. Ain’t that nice. Things we can do with that, ne?
But the elf Rumil might be named after is Rumil of Tirion. The first great poet. He has supposedly written the Ainulindalë, but he has also created the tengwar, before they were reorganized by Fëanor. Ainulindalë (Quenya) means ‘music of the Ainur’ and it’s the mythe of the creation.
Ps, all names are apparently in Sindarin.
Oh, one more thing.
Arien is actually one a female Maiar, the onosenosen by the Valar to guide Anar (the sun) on it’s heavenly course. But since everybody continuously translates it as sun, I do so too. But I just wanted to inform everybody of the mix up.
And I have found another fault. Ithil isn’t the moon, but Isil. I’m not going to change it. We’re all used to Ithil and that makes more sense too. (Ithilien, Ithildin and so on) And in case you’re interested: Isil (Ithil if you please) is guided by Tilion. Another Maiar
Now, either we have all got it wrong, or this book is at fault here.
And I also couldn’t find a translation for Thranduil’s name. Shame.
