Galadriel gracefully dismounted from her white stallion, surrounded by her proud, tall galadhrim, while Melpomaen approached her and bowed.

The lady was clad in white, her inner light radiating from her very being. A powerful elleth was she, as powerful as she was beautiful and wise. A rather intimidating combination, Melpomaen thought.

Not less beautiful was the lady Arwen who dismounted behind her grandmother, smiling at the chief advisor's assistant in welcome.

Next to Galadriel Telchar, Glorfindel's second, was dismounting with his seven soldiers. It was a rather small party to welcome the lady of the Golden Wood but they had not been able to spare more of Imladris' guards.

"My Lady, welcome to Imladris. My lady Arwen" Melpomaen bowed again.

"Mae govannen, Melpomaen. Still no word from Elrond or my cousin?" Galadriel asked.

The poor scribe blushed furiously. "Unfortunately not, my lady."

The beautiful elleth gave the blond ellon in front of him a sympathetic look. "I thought as much. That's why I am here. Tell me what happened, we have no time to lose. Telchar here did not tell me much."

The tall ellon suppressed the need to roll his eyes. "I am sorry my lady but I only know that lord Glorfindel went to meet lord Elrond on the High Pass ..."

"... because of a worrisome increased Orc-sighting. Yes, I know." She looked to Melpomaen again and to Lindir who did not stand much apart.

"I want to know about Erestor."
