Finally, the company arrived at the gates of Minas Tirith. They were scarred with battle, and several guards stood before. Arwen and Elrond had stopped in Lothlorien, and would be arriving with the Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn. So only a few remained of the group that originally started from Rivendell - Elenna, Glorfindel, Lindir, Fea, Aduchil, Alatiriel, Rosa, and a few others.
"Stop! Who wishes to enter this gate?" shouted a voice from the wall.
"I am Glorfindel Goldenhelm. I ride with the Lady Elenna Tindomerel and the King of the Noldor, Aduchil son of Gil-Galad. Your king will be expecting us, even if you are not."
The gate swung open and a company of Gondorian soldiers came out, wearing full ceremonial gear. "We have heard of your coming, Lady." one of them said to Elenna, as they escorted them inside.
