After Callo had been rescued the entire company except for Elentari left for Rivendell. In a few long days they finally had come to their destination. It was hidden in a small, beautiful, valley. There were waterfalls and trees, everywhere. Beautiful elves in bright colors could be seen wherever you looked. It was like a heavenly dream.
Elentari arrived shortly after the company had. A large feast was held and Rowan was overjoyed at the great welcome. The food had been amazing. Rowan had never been to such an event. Elrond was as wise and kind as tale told, and Rowan was delighted at meeting him. This would be a night to remember. He didn’t’ want to leave but he knew that his friends needed help and the dragon was still on breathing. We will leave soon he thought.
After the feast Rowan went to his bed. He hadn’t slept in a real bed for weeks and it was wonderful. His room was beautiful too. It was decorated with elven art and the walls and bed was decorated with elven designs in Burgundies, Deep Blues, and Silvers. Everything was so wonderful. But still Rowan couldn’t sleep. No matter where he was he was restless. He couldn’t sit still. He needed something to do. He walked outside to the back. It was very late and few were out. But still silver and gold lanterns twinkled like little stars. Silver drops of rain beat down steadily. They fell one by one like a single beating of a drum. It was so wonderful. Rowan had always loved the rain. In the deep blue-sky small stars shined. The moon was high in the air and Rowan could easily see craters like bruises on it. *Sigh* It was very late now and Rowan went back inside. He opened a window and then lay down in bed. He fell asleep to the rain-drum.
Birds sang sweetly. It was dawn and the sun was just rising. Rowan went outside. The rays of the sun cast a golden gleam upon everything around. Rowan decided to take a walk. The ground was slightly wet from the rain, and dew glistened on leaves, and petals of flowers. Many were stirring, and many elves were already up and about. I must find out what the plans for the day were, Rowan thought and quickly headed back to his room.
