The eyes of a broken RoseCHP15

Aduial franticly searched through her room, packing light, witch was hard for the Princess, because so many dresses! Normally if she was just traveling somewhere, she would be fine, but right now she was debating something in her frantic mind. “Bring the blue dress or the white one?!”

“The blue one, you’ll look less like your mother” Runya said smiling as she walked in.

“Don’t you know how to knock?”

“Nope!” she laughed.

The women stood there for a moment smiling, something that was rare for Aduial. Aduial stood there in her deep red dress, and Runya stood there in her black torn dress, but with a new cloak. There smiles alone defined the situation, they were like children on a small adventure.

“I cant believe we play a hand in this!”  Runya squealed!

Aduial was not the type to be that jumpy, “Yes, I cant believe we could go. This is bound to be the greatest adventure of our lives, or the last one. We always pick the most amazing quests though! “

“Yes, that is very true, but this reminds me of the quest that brought us this cursed ring in the first place…I miss the way it was. Happy dwarves, my father smiling, joking around the campfire. I remember never drinking that much in my life time again. We have done so much since then, but now I feel like it was yesterday, 60 years ago we were so young and still had trust in the world around us…60 years ago, I had never thought of romance, and 60 years ago I had not known the violence that the world holds for us all.” Runya was trying to be poetic about this.  60 years for Aduial was completely different for Runya.

They both took seats by Aduial’s window, looking out at Rivendell, both reflecting on what brought them together , Runya spoke slowly, as if living the memory again, “Remember when I was so young, my first trip to Lothlorien, my Father told me to be silent the whole time, he was only taking me there to learn, and then take me back to Rohan…Remember how young we were when we met? How amazing that meeting was, and how you and I snuck off in the night to practice our staff fighting, that sparing match was better then any we have ever had!”

“Remember how Haldir found us and took us back, and how cross everyone was with us?!” Aduial was being sensible again.

“It doesn’t seem that long ago, I think I was 14!” Runya slapped her knee laughing.

“I remember how angry Gandalf was and how he said he couldn’t take you anywhere.”

“Remember how many tear I cried because of that”

“It took years for you to get over that…It wasn’t till Bilbo’s adventure did he take you with him again.”

“Yes, but at least I had grown his trust be defending Rohan, the King told him how good of a fighter I was.”

Aduial laughed again, “I told my parents that it was all your fault! So that I didn’t get in that much trouble!”

Runya scowled at her, “Sometimes dear friend you are the cruelest!”

They both sat in reflection of their lives, more memories to chat about, like how they wrote to each other ever since their first meeting. Then about a man named Rowan Ironhelm, who had brought them back together again. These girls had many adventures, unlike the women all around them. It was by pure luck that they had gain lives like these. If Runya didn’t hold great power and Aduial didn’t know how to control that power, they would have been stuck waiting to be married off. But there is more to this then meets the eye.
