Oh, hang on. Is this Aredhel speaking of Maeglin?

"Thou shalt guide me/And I shalt be thy guard" - Maeglin saying 'hey Mum, let's go visit your brother; look, I've nicked Dad's sword!'
And so he spoke
But in the end it was the other way 'round

I was near/I saw it take flight - Aredhel sees Eol throwing his... dart? Oh, it's a javelin. Is this is the only javelin in Middle-earth?
I shalt be a guard to what I hold dear - she's guarding Maeglin's life.
He shalt be a guide of my heart - um... because she loves him?

Yes. and those are the words Maeglin actually sšpoke in the book. *Youćll be my guide, and I'll be your guard.*

And yes, she loves him. Why would she not?

Your turn.

Of course she loves him - I just wasn't sure if you were looking for something more specific.

Right, I've put a lot of work, and a lot of research into this one to make it absolutely perfect. Here goes:

9
7


Go for it!

Is it 9 divided by 7?

Either way, makes me think of 9 mannish rings and 7 dwarven rings......and the line could mean One Ring. In other words, the rings is whose making Sauron had a hand, so to speak.

It is not. Find another way of saying it.

One of these 3 things is (very nearly) the right reference.

Totally wrong, but really good.
