Middle-earth Raiders Full Plan

Under Alwin's expectation and the acquiescence of Galadriel and Celeborn, Anila, who originally only planned to stay in Lorraine for a day or two, stayed in Lorraine for up to two weeks until spring was about to pass. The golden flowers on the Long tree fell one after another, and Anila finally decided to continue her journey.

Although she hasn't clearly informed Arwen of her decision, Arwen seems to have foreseen the upcoming parting. When Anila saw her again, she clearly felt the melancholy between her brows.

The day before the farewell, the girls snuggled up on the white watchtower overlooking the entire golden forest, their fingers intertwined, but no one spoke first, only the rustling of the leaves in the breeze and the sound of Luo Lin The ethereal singing of the elves.

It wasn't until dusk approached that Anila made up her mind to speak: "Arwen—"

"Shh..." Alwin interrupted Anila with a sudden kiss.

The sudden soft touch on her lips made Anila startled for a moment, but soon she turned her back and put her right hand on Arwen's left shoulder. At the same time, she leaned forward and slowly but firmly pressed Arwen to the ground. deepened the kiss.

"Hmm..." Alvin's cheeks were flushed, but she still fell down obediently, and the back of her head expected to feel the warmth of Anila's soft palm instead of the hardness and coldness of the floor.

This kiss seemed to last for an era, but when it ended it felt like a fleeting moment.Anila and Arwen parted reluctantly, looking at each other as if they were looking at their whole world.

"I know it all." After a long time, Arwen's breathing calmed down, and she said, "You are right, Anila, even though the scene where I saw you under the trees and flowers is still as clear to me as today Morning, but you have indeed been in Lorraine for quite a while. Go back to Rivendell, Ada must be very worried about you too."

"You are still understanding, Alvin," Anila whispered.

"You don't know how many people worried about you in the past few years when you lost the news." Alvin smiled bitterly, "But we can't inquire about your news in the open, it will make that person doubt your identity."

"I understand."

"There's also the Dark Forest...even Lonely Mountain sent a letter asking about your whereabouts."

"I'm sorry." Anila looked into Alvin's eyes apologetically, "I made you worry."

"It seems like I'll be worrying like this for a long time now, won't I?" Alwin sighed, "I sometimes feel like you're always moving forward, never looking back at the people behind you, even though I understand you, occasionally It’s also going to feel like a loss.”

"sorry, I--"

"Don't be sorry, I'm not complaining. Anila, you just need to go straight ahead according to your method." Alvin showed a gentle but firm smile, "I will catch up."

In the early morning of the next day, Anila bid farewell to Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn, and got ready to go to Rivendell.

Alwyn sent her all the way to the frontier of Lorraine.

"You should go back, Arwen." Anila stopped when she was still some distance away from the border, and said to Alwen, "If you go further out, you may encounter a half-orc."

Arwen smiled slightly, and before she could speak, Haldir suddenly came out leading two horses.

"His Royal Highness Alvin." He saluted Alvin, then nodded to Anila, and handed her the bridle of a horse, "This is your horse."

"Thank you." Anila took the reins and looked at the other horse, "This is it?"

"This is my mount." Haldir said solemnly, "I will also go to Rivendell with you."

"I see." Anila nodded and asked casually, "Is there any mission?"

"Yes, the escort mission." Haldir replied.

"Escort?" Anila was taken aback, her expression became strange, "Escort...me?"

"Of course, if Anila is in danger, I will also protect you." Haldir's tone was still serious, but a smile flashed in his eyes, and Arwen couldn't help it I laughed out loud.

Anila looked at the two people, and her short-circuited brain finally came to her senses. "Arwen..." She shook her head helplessly, and showed a doting smile when she raised her head to look at Arwen, "If you want to go back with me, I alone can protect you."

"That's what I told them, but Grandpa is still worried." Alwyn said.

"Ladies, if we don't go on the road, we will be delayed until noon," Haldir interposed.

"Sorry." Anila apologized subconsciously, but she couldn't help raising her eyebrows when she looked at the only two horses. "To be honest, my riding skills are quite average, Arwen."

"It's okay, I'm riding well." Alvin giggled, took the rein from Anila's hand, "I'll take you."

When Glorfindel was sitting bored on the branch at the entrance of Rivendell playing the flute, he saw Anila galloping towards the setting sun at a glance. Many times, so familiar that when he saw Alvin behind Anila, he froze for a second before reacting.

The corners of the mouth that were unconsciously curved froze for a moment, but soon forced to raise a bigger arc.

"Anila." When Anila was about to enter the forest valley, Glorfindel suddenly jumped down from the tree. Anila was startled, if not for Alwin's hand, she almost didn't rein in the reins.

"Glorfindel." She frowned in embarrassment and annoyance, two red clouds flew up her fair face, Glorfindel couldn't help but want to pinch her, "You are too scary."

"It's your riding skills that still need to be honed, little girl." Glorfindel laughed twice before looking at Arwen, "You're back, Arwen."

"Lord Glorfindel." Alwin and Haldir bowed their heads.

Glorfindel nodded, and turned his gaze back to Anila. "You and I haven't changed at all since we last saw you, Anila."

"Are you serious?" Anila opened her mouth slightly in surprise, "People say I've become more handsome."

"Well... At least I haven't grown taller at all." Glorfindel touched Anila's head, enjoying the smooth touch.

"My growth period is too early!" Anila said fiercely, her eyes widened. To be honest, she was quite imposing, but in front of the two-meter-tall Glorfindel, she looked like a robbed animal. The hopping little squirrel makes people just want to tease it again.

So Glorfindel did as he thought, touching the top of Anila's head with a smile and not saying a word.

"..." Anila gritted her teeth, and with a sudden jump, the top of her head hit Glorfindel's chin hard, and as a result, both of them bared their teeth in pain.

Alvin smiled wryly and looked at these two people who were usually very stable, but when they met each other, they were all kinds of childish, and shook his head helplessly. "Then you guys talk first, I'll go see Lord Elrond first."

"Ah, I'll go with you." Anila immediately became serious, and turned around to grab Alvin's hand. Although her eyes caught the flash of gloomy expression on Glorfindel's face, Anila La chose to ignore.

Alwen did not avoid Anila's extended hand, but refused Anila to go with her to see Elrond. "I have something I want to talk to ada alone, Anila."

"Oh, then I'll look for you later." Anila said thoughtfully.

After Alwin and Haldir left, the atmosphere between Anila and Glorfindel seemed to become serious for a moment. The two climbed up the tree together and sat on the same branch in silence as they did when they were children. Verbal communication, just listening to Glorfindel's sobbing flute.

After a few minutes, Glorfindel's whispering stopped abruptly.

"It stopped so suddenly." Anila turned her head to look at him and said.

"Suddenly I don't want to blow it anymore." Glorfindel didn't look at Anila, but just looked at the moon gradually rising in the east. "I heard from Lorraine's letter, have you been caught in Mordor these few years?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Are you going to laugh at me for not being good enough?" Anila asked, shaking her feet.

"What do you think of me, Estelle? Could it be that I only laugh at you in your heart?" Glorfindel's smile became more bitter, and he leaned back slightly, hiding his face in the shadow of leaves .

"After all, as far as I remember, you seem to really praise me very rarely." Anila said, "Of course, in your eyes, I may indeed be young and naive."

"It is impossible for a young and naive person to gain the trust of the regent of Gondor to lead an entire army, it is impossible to defeat the orcs and pirates of Mordor several times, it is impossible to hide the true identity of Sauron, and it is impossible to be in Mordor. After staying for five years but never despairing, it is impossible to escape from Mordor unscathed." Glorfindel said so much in one breath, even Anila felt a little embarrassed.

"Uh, are you planning to make up for all the praise you owe me at once?" She asked jokingly.

"If you want to hear me, I can boast from when you were two years old until now, and repeat it twice in Elvish and Common." Glorfindel also joked, and then couldn't help touching Anila The expression slowly became serious, "But you fully deserve the praise, Anila, you have done a lot of things that some people can't do in a lifetime, and I know you will have greater deeds in the future .”

"Okay, okay, I get it." Anila, who couldn't stand other people's serious lyricism to her, shook the goosebumps on her body, "You should talk to me like you usually do."

"Okay, last sentence." Glorfindel shrugged, "I'm proud of you, Anila."

After the sensationalism was over, the two began to expose each other's secrets again. From the perspective of those who don't know them, the atmosphere between the two is not like a master and a student, but more like...

"Hey, when we first met back then, you had just reached my knee, and you had to bend your shoulders when holding your hand while walking. I didn't expect that you are still a dwarf now, and you ate all the rice from Rivendell for nothing."

"I'm not an elf. If I were as tall as you, this branch would probably break." Anila rolled her eyes, "Besides, what are you doing so tall? Anyway, you don't have to bend over to hold my hand now. gone."

"..." seems to have been molested.

"Hey, I'm not mistaken, I remember that you were dragged down by the hair of the Balrog back then, right? Tsk tsk tsk, why do you have to keep your hair so long, if it's an inch shorter..."

"Oh, don't talk about me. Whose hair can't move up and down when you are young? I have to help you untie it in the end."

"So I said just cut it off."

"How about that? According to the frequency of your hair tangling, it is estimated that you will have to shave it bald in a few months."

"..." I really want to swear.

After laughing for a while, the topic of the two became serious again. Anila told Glorfindel about the geographical location and power of Mordor in detail, and then the topic changed to what happened after she escaped from Mordor. spoke of Alvin.

"It's really yours." Glorfindel pretended to smile, "Thirty years of thinking about it, and I really got what I wanted."

"Yeah." Anila agreed, but she didn't see much joy.

"What's wrong?" Glorfindel found that Anila didn't have the reaction he thought he would have, "Did something happen?" A bit of despicable thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

"I don't know if this is the right decision." Anila said in a low voice, "I am a human and she is an elf, which means that if I am with Arwen, she is destined to sacrifice more for me .”

"Has Arwen's love put pressure on you?" Glorfindel asked, "Forgive me if I offend you. Do you want her to give up her eternal life because you love Arwen? Or is it because Arwen is willing You decided to be with her because you were moved by giving up eternal life?"

"Is there a difference?" Anila frowned in confusion, "Arwen loves me, and there is no contradiction between Arwen's willingness to sacrifice for me."

"I just hope you can understand that you can figure out how you feel about Alwen, whether it's love or guilt." Glorfindel said, his eyelashes fluttering unnaturally, "If it's the latter, I have to Say, Anila, Arwen may not be the only elf who is willing to give up eternal life for you, you can’t use your marriage to compensate her just because of guilt, that would be unfair to everyone.”

"Huh? Do you think there are elves willing to give up eternal life for me?" Anila asked innocently.Under the shadow, a successful smile appeared on her face.

"Of course, Anila, your charm is terrifying." Glorfindel laughed twice, seemingly joking, and said, "If you are afraid that we will be too lonely after we all leave , I can stay with you, anyway, I haven’t been to Mandos anyway.”

"That's really an honor." Anila laughed, as if she didn't take it seriously at all, "It's just—"

"what?"

"I don't need it," Anila said to Glorfindel, smiling.
