Making their way to Helm's Deep, Gimli couldn't stop rambling about the dwarf women. He sat on his horse and let Eowyn lead him. Aragorn rode behind Gimli while Legolas and Cellin ride on the front lines.

"It's true that you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance," Gimli chuckled, "That they're often mistaken as Dwarf men."

Eowyn smiled as she looked at Aragorn.

"It's the beards." He whispered while making a gesture with his hand.

"And this, in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women." Gimli continued, "And that dwarves just sprung out of holes in the ground."

Eowyn and Gimli laughed at that statement.

"Which is of course ridiculous-whoa!"

The horse got out of Eowyn's grasp and sprint away, leaving Gimli to fall and land on the ground.

Eowyn let out another laugh and ran towards Gimli.

"It's alright. It's alright. Nobody panic. That was deliberate! It was deliberate!" Gimli said as he tries his best to hoist himself up.

Eowyn helped the dwarf up and turn to send Aragorn a smile. However, the ranger looked away which cause Eowyn's smile to falter.

"So, what's wrong?" Cellin sat next Aragorn and watched the refugees get ready for the night.

"What do you mean?" He looked at her.

"I am talking about Arwen." She said, "You know that Lord Elrond is making her sail and yet, you have nothing to say."

"But, he said that the time for elves are over and time to sail to Valinor."

Cellin sighed. "He is right, but not every single elf is leaving. Arwen has the right to choose and I am sure that Lord Elrond will respect her decision. You must continue to believe in her."

"Why are you suddenly worried about Arwen?" Aragorn asked.

"Two reasons." Cellin answers, "One, if you haven't noticed, Arwen is my niece. Two, I had a vision last night."

"What was it about Arwen?" He glanced at her.

"Of course, it is about her." Cellin glared at him, "Why would I brought it up in the first place."

Aragorn looked down and there was a dead silence between the two. Then, a shadow hovered above them, causing the two look at who it was.

"Oh, Eowyn." Cellin looked up.

"I made some stew. It isn't much, but it's hot." She softly spoke as she filled two bowls and handed over to them.

Cellin stir hew bowl of soup and noticed something in the soup that looks much like an eyeball.

"Thank you." Aragorn said before he tried a bite, "It's good."

"Really?" She asked before she walked away.

Cellin and Aragorn quickly pour their soup away, but Eowyn walked back to them to ask a question and caused Aragorn to have soup stained on his lap. Luckily, Cellin had poured all her soup down to the ground without Eowyn noticing and quietly laughing on how Aragorn has soup all over his pants.

"My uncle told me a strange thing." Eowyn said as she walked back to them, "He said that you rode to war with Thengel, my grandfather. But, he must be mistaken."

"King Théoden has a good memory. He was a small child at the time."

"Then, you must be at least 60."

Cellin suddenly got interested in the conversation and joined in.

"Judging through your ancestors, you must be older than 60, my friend." Cellin smiled.

Aragorn tried to hold his embarrassment and shook his head as a no to Eowyn.

"Seventy?" Eowyn bended down to look at the embarrassing man.

Another no.

"You cannot be eighty."

"87." Aragorn looked down.

"You are one of the Dúnedain. A descendant of Numenor, blessed with long life. It was said that your race has passed into legend."

"There are few of us left. The Northern Kingdom was destroyed long ago."

Cellin patted Aragorn on the shoulder to comfort him. "Many have believed that the Dúnedain are gone unless they revealed their age and the race they belong to."

"I'm sorry." Eowyn quickly said, "Please eat."

"Excuse me, Cellin." Eowyn came in to Cellin and Legolas' tent.

Cellin turned and saw Eowyn looking nervous. Legolas took it as a cue for him to leave and give the two ladies some time to talk. He kissed Cellin on the forehead and whispered that he is going to find Aragorn and Gimli. Cellin gestured Eowyn to sit on the chair next to her.

"Is there something wrong?" Cellin asked as she poured some tea.

"No, there isn't." Eowyn said, "It's just I want to ask you a question."

"Oh. What is it?"

"How close are you with Lord Aragorn?"

Cellin stopped pouring and looked at Eowyn in the eyes. "Aragorn is like a brother to me. I do not harbour any feelings for him because I love Legolas. Is that what you want to know?"

"Well, somewhat." Eowyn lowered her eyes.

"Somewhat?" Cellin raised her eyebrows as she hands Eowyn a cup of tea, "Please elaborate more."

"I…" Eowyn hesitant, "I have feelings for Lord Aragorn."

Cellin gave a long sigh. "I knew this would happen."

"You did?"

"Yes, I did. I have nothing to say about it." Cellin said, "I could not ruin on what Aragorn chooses."

"Then, do you think Lord Aragorn love me back?" Eowyn asked as she hopes that her friend will support her.

"As I said before, I have nothing to say." Cellin replied, "I could not support you when it comes to this, for I have already supported another."

"What do you mean by another?" Eowyn leaned forward to know more, "Is there another lady that is in love with Lord Aragorn?"

Cellin took a sip of her tea and said nothing.

Eowyn leaned back as she realized there is another woman. She wore a grim expression and clutched the cup of tea tightly.

"Any more question, Eowyn?" Cellin glanced at her.

"You know the lady, do you?"

"Perhaps." Cellin said, "I will not say anything about this."

Eowyn stood up with a furious expression. "You do know. You find the other woman better than me. What kind of she-elf are you?"

"Eowyn, do not push it." Cellin warned her, "I may have the power to look into someone's future, but I will not tell anyone about someone's future without their permission or their presence. That includes you, Aragorn and even my own love, Legolas."

"I don't care. I want to know." Eowyn argued, "How can you not help me? You are not a good friend nor are you a proper Light Bearer. Your parents must be ashamed with you and probably made Legolas be together with you."

Cellin had enough. Her anger boiled at Eowyn's cruel comment about her parents and Legolas. She stood up and her eyes flashed with anger. Flames from candles start to flicker as the wind grows stronger. Eowyn noticed what is happening and tremble in fear. Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli appeared quickly with the sight of seeing an enraged Cellin.

"What happen?" Legolas yelled over the wind.

"I...I…" Eowyn shaked, "I didn't mean to."

Aragorn quickly went out to find Gandalf while Legolas and Gimli tried to calm Cellin down.

The Light Bearer started to glow as she stared at Eowyn with pure hatred. No one should ever taunt her about her parents or the love of her life. Suddenly, something happen. Her hair started to turn white and was pulled into a high ponytail. Her skin start to have these weird drawings. The whole entire right arm and a bit on the right side of her face were covered. The drawings look like flowers connected to a single vine. Her clothes started to change. Cellin wore a sleeveless white dress with a gold belt and gold knee length sandals. Then the white dress melted to a different outfit that consist of black leggings, leather tank top, fingerless gloves that reached to the elbow and a full battle armour.

Everyone was shocked. Aragorn, Gandalf and King Théoden were just in time to see it all happen. Legolas was the first to step forward.

"Cellin." He spoke slowly.

The Light Bearer said nothing and continue to look at Eowyn murderously.

Legolas felt worried and spoke again.

"Cellin."

This time, there was a response.

"You should never taunt me like that, Eowyn." Cellin looked at her dangerously with flames dancing in her eyes, "You should have never insulted my parents or my love. Now, leave me alone!"

Eowyn trembled more at the tone that Cellin spoke to her. She quickly left the tent with King Théoden following her. Regret entered her as she reflected herself and what she had brought up. Awaking the Light Bearer's true form can be frightening in many ways.

Cellin turned to the audience that witness what happen. "This not is the first time that I have entered my true form. This is my second time."

"It seems that anger is another way to summon it." Gandalf sighed, "You need learn how to control that."

"I understand." Cellin nodded.

Aragorn took a closer look at Cellin. "What do you mean by "the second time"."

"Before we left for Helms Deep, Gandalf and I practiced at the gardens because it calms me down and reminds me about my home." She explained, "I felt so relaxed and everything that I was worried about was washed away. Then, my true form came in."

"Well, lass, you cause quite a fright." Gimli said.

"I know." Cellin sighed, "Did I woke any of the refugees."

"No. Gandalf put a sleeping veil on them, so none can hear what is going on." Aragorn shook his head.

"Good."

"It's time that we should return back to our tents." Gandalf suggested, "We need a well-rested sleep, before we continue on."

Aragorn nodded and walked away with Gimli. Gandalf gave Cellin a reassuring smile before he left.

The she-elf glanced at Legolas. She was scared that he would be mad. As she about to turn back to her normal self, Legolas spoke up.

"I'm not mad." He look at her.

"You're not." Cellin turned her head slowly, "I thought you were."

"No, I wasn't mad at all. I was just shocked because you suddenly transformed to your true form and it was just amazing seeing you like this." Legolas said, "You look even more beautiful especially with those drawings on your right arm and on the face."

"I do?" Cellin touched her face.

"Yes." Legolas took her hands and covered them with his hands.

"Do you recognize any of these flowers here?"Cellin asked as she touched her right arm.

Legolas took her right arm and studied it. He frowned at some of the flowers like he never seen them before in his life.

"I see some Elanor and Niphredil, but the others I do not recognize." Legolas answered, "Perhaps, it is because everything is drawn in black and not colour."

Cellin laugh softly. "The ones that you do not recognize is from the world where I spent most of my life so far."

"Really?" Legolas raised an eyebrow.

"Of course." Cellin nodded and started to point at each flower. "Those are baby breaths and those are lilies. Also, this flower here is a magnolia."

"These are amazing." Legolas widened his eyes, "I hope that after the war is over, we can make a visit to the world where you spent most of your life."

"I would love to." Cellin smiled as she hugged her love.

The next morning, Eowyn tried her best to avoid Cellin. She feared that the Light Bearer still bears a grudge towards her. She regretted what she said last night. Cellin was right. She had no right to look into someone's future. However, as stubborn as she can be, the Lady of Rohan still wants to be the one Aragorn loves.

"Where is she? The woman who gave you that jewel." Eowyn asked Aragorn as she walked along side with him.

He said nothing as his mind was drifted to somewhere or someone.

"My lord."

"She is sailing to the Undying Lands with all that is left of her kin." Aragorn answered.

Eowyn could see pain in his eyes. The woman in the ranger's heart is special, indeed. What made her curious is who was the woman that captures his heart?

The walk continued silently. Hama and Gamling rode towards the elven couple until a cry was heard. Hama was killed instantly while Gamling fight off the beast. They are under attacked by wargs.

Legolas notched an arrow and killed the beast while Cellin killed the rider with her swords. Aragorn came before any of the refugees could see.

"A scout." Legolas spat.

Aragorn nodded and ran back to get King Théoden.

Cellin watched as warg-riders emerged from the distance. She could feel its lust for blood and war. Notching her arrows, she shoot as many as she can along with Legolas. Soon, the soldiers joined in and fought against the Wargs. Gimli clutch his axe tightly and look at the nearby warg.

"Bring your pretty face to my axe." Gimli growled.

The warg crawled to Gimli slowly, but then, Legolas shoot his arrow to the warg, not letting Gimli to finish it off.

"That one counts as mine!" Gimli shouted.

The battle ended with a victory to the Rohans. However, Cellin looked everywhere, but not able to spot Aragorn.

"Where's Aragorn?" Cellin asked Legolas.

Legolas looked around, but can't find Aragorn as well.

"Aragorn!" Legolas shouted.

"Aragorn!"

"Aragorn!" Gimli yelled.

Cellin and Legolas ran to the edge and noticed blood spilt on it. Cellin ran her fingers as if she is trying to see where the trail ends. The trails ends to the very edge.

"No." Cellin whispers, "It couldn't be."

A dying orc suddenly brought attention as it coughed out blood. Cellin brought her foot on top of it's chest and made it cough out more blood. Gimli had his axe hovered about the orc's face.

"Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing." Gimli spoke.

"He's-" The orc coughed before he continued, "Dead."

Cellin put a foot on the orc's chest in order to make the orc spit out more information.

The orc gave a mocking smile. "Took a little tumble off the cliff."

Legolas took the orc by the collar of the tunic. "You lie."

The orc gave no response. Instead, it takes few breaths of air and died in Legolas's hands. Legolas noticed something shiny laid on the orc's hand. He picked it up and realized it is an Evenstar necklace. Cellin knew who the necklace belongs to, but she didn't say anything. She walked to the very edge of the cliff and looked down at the the river. Cellin wishes that she can revive Aragorn, but it is impossible.

"Get the wounded on horses. The wolves of Isengard will return." King Théoden said, "Leave the dead."

Legolas looked at the king with shock. King Théoden placed a hand on Legolas shoulder, telling him that they have to leave the dead behind.

"Come." He said before walking away.

Cellin looked down at the river as if she is waiting for Aragorn to come out of the river and walked safely back to the group. But, it isn't going to come true. Legolas took her hand and lead her back to their horses. As they walked, Cellin stumbled a bit.

"Are you alright?" Legolas asked with worry.

"I'm fine." Cellin said as she clutched her chest, "I think I need to take my medicine."

"I think so, too." Legolas nodded, "I don't want you to be ill."

"Do you think he is really dead?"

"I don't know." Legolas murmured, "I don't know."
