~Galadriel and Luthien~

                           
                                                            Olwe's Secret

                           

Snow-white were the swans floating gracefully, yet silent against the peaceful ripples at the lake’s edge. The elven princess watched, while determined to weave for herself a tiara wreath. Her fingers held and intertwined lavender and violet stem. Lifting it to her head, she smiled. Her reflection in the water helped her to imagine where she wanted to visit next. She had already ventured close to her Vanyar Nanna, near the very thrones of Manwe and Varda! And now, it was her Teleri grand papa she yearned to know. She seemed obsessed with the knowledge of her bloodlines.

                                                                     

Pondering her desire, she knew it would be a sojourn into darkness, as Alqualonde was without the light of the Trees. She wanted to venture out alone, and she was eager to do it tonight! A star-filled night sky beckoned her, so she departed, alone and breathless. No one would know, for this was not her way to disappear without permission. Quietly she managed to slide through a small, opened crack in the door and dance along a path that led to the sea. She had no clue how far away it was or for how long she would be gone. Bright and inviting were Varda’s lights overhead, and Galadriel whispered a prayer as she inhaled the cool night.
