After saying this to Bali he looked over to Arendill."So the instrument called you back to the song Star maiden."
Her eyes looked at him in question."But Arendill do you think you could carry your silver bow and flute and go unnoticed by me?For that is your true name is't it?So many songs and tales I have heard of you.Last night as I did the dishies I longed to hear your song."
She now looked at him half amused and half estranged."Ah but how would I know so much of you your thinking.Well this instrument was made by a Maier of Lorien of the Valar.Any of the immortal race that hear it like yourself are called.Even Yanvannas trees sway under its song.It calls to them to.So before I even started to play you where called by it."
He said now chuckling to himself.She looked suprised and amused by his words.
"Long ago I had a dream of beautifull golden trees Arendill.They where on the south eastern side of a great ancient pit wrought by Dwarfs in a mountain.So I knew this was Moria.I traveled there and saw the tender Mallon trees and they swayed under my song with this instrument."Her eyes open wide at attentions of this tale.
"But there are many servents of the lord and lady of Lothlorien there.They patrol the forrests.They heard my song and came onto me.They said that I must be tighed and binded for none can enter the forrest without permission.So I kneeled dow and put my hands behind my back.So allowing them to bind me.I said if death be my penalty then so be it for the sight of these fair trees in my life is worth losing my life.They thought me a strange man and took me off to there haven."
"Now blind folded and tied I whent before the lord and lady.Galadriel hald a relic of a sword but still sharp bright and true to my neck."With that he showed her his sword.
"This vary one in my hand.So she asked what busness I had in her forrest.I told her of the dream and my love for Arda and that I could not live without seeing them once.So she said you have said you would gladly die now is the test of your words.Are you ready to be slain for a tree.Say no and I will not cut you down where you stand.So I relpied if I have done any wrong then I shall be slain.But I ask not here.Do not mar this haven of trees with blood.It deserves it not."
"Gladriel looked at me strangely and then the lord said that I have not gone unnoticed.My song had been calling all of Lothlorien to it.So they tought that it was a spell or enchantment of some kind.I then reaveled my instrument to them.Gladriels breath was taken away.She said she only saw maiers play on these no man had ever even seen one let alone played one."
"So they wanted my answer for this I told them the story of my life and how it came to me.Then they saw I was no enemy.For 4 days night and day I played to all the people of Lothlorien.The strength of that haven can help anyone in arda find peace.So I then became a friend of the Lord and Lady.But they looked as confused and dismayed as you did just now Arendill.For they knew not how or why they where called.But even the waters,stones,eath,fire,people,maier,and valer are set to pleasure when this instrument is played."
