Daisy and Gaddy left her room at Bullroarer request to take a walk around Rivendell. They were hand in hand as they explored this breathtaking place. The colors were so bright and the buildings were so elegant. The ceilings inside were so high it made Daisy feel even tinier than she was. Everything seemed to be so ancient but at the same time it was ageless.
Daisy had never seen a waterfall like the ones she saw here. They seemed to be almost magical in nature. She and Gaddy felt that if they stared at them long enough the water would appear to be going up instead of down. The water was so clear it was like looking out a window after it had been cleaned.
The most amazing thing about Rivendell was the elves. They were so tall and graceful, almost feather like in their movements. They were very slender and agile. Daisy and Gaddy talked some of the eleves as they walked by and Daisy discovered that they were a very soft spoken group.
Daisy and Gaddy came to a small pool of water near the center of Rivendell. It had some seating areas around it so they found a quiet spot and sat down. They were in the public eye as her uncle had requested. There they talked about their families and how they might react to the announcement of their engagement. They also talked about they couldn’t wait to get home to the Shire to bring food to their starving families and friends.
After a while Daisy and Gaddy decided to go back to their own rooms to get ready for the big celebration later on that night and also to get some rest for they knew that it would soon be time to head home.
HOME! What a wonderful thought.
