Aranwe Gildarion was in the small chamber he used as laboratory when Elrond came to ask him to examine a dwarf called Frali. As he was only familiar with Gloin and Gimli the healer supposed that this Frali must be a new arrival. Elrond explained quickly what the task was and also mentioned that he might be found in the company of Gloin and Gimli. The healer bent his head in agreement. "It shall be done, my Lord. I hope the dwaves are still in their usual haunt and i won't have to chase them for hours."
With that remark and a quick bow to Elrond Aranwe hurried to one of the balconies that looked towards the distant mountains and sure enough he saw the dwarves deep in conversation. He slowed down his pace and walked with purpose towards the one dwarf he didn't know. During his apporach the Noldo studied Frali's facial expression and manner of movement for anything that might point towards any remnants of shadow still lingering in his mind.
Frali:
The three dwarves just had decided to leave their cosy balcony and go to visit the forges of Imladris when they saw one of the Noldo approaching them. Frali noticed that he was obviously the strange elf's target and bowed politely. "Hail and well met, my good elf. Do you have a message for me or my kinsmen?"
Aranwe smiled at the formal tone and returned the bow. "Well met indeed, my good dwarf. I am Aranwe Gildarion, Healer in Lord Elrond's household and my only message was to find you, if you are Master Frali?"
The young dwarf nodded. Aranwe turned to Gimli and Gloin before he explained any further. "I am sorry to have interrupted your meeting and disturbed your privacy, Master Gimli and Master Gloin, but I am afraid this is a matter of some urgency and Lord Elrond awaits my return with an answer."
Gimli nodded understandingly. "Do not be unseemingly concerned, Master Aranwe. The keeper of these Halls cannot be left waiting unnecessarily in these eventful days. Young Frali here is a kinsman of us who has just arrived from a long and exciting journey from Erebor. If you need more privacy we shall leave you both alone or maybe you want to return to the house?"
"It might be best indeed if we go to the Healer's Quarters " Aranwe replied. Gloin and Gimli nodded and smiled reassuringly at Frali. "We shall meet you later, lad. " Gloin said. "It cannot be long now that dinner is served and I have never seen any elf missing the chance to endulge in the pleasure of Lord Elrond's table, especially when it comes to wine." With a knowing wink at Aranwe the two older dwarves retreated to the Hall of Fire.
During the short walk to Aranwe's surgery which lay close to the centre of Imladris with its herb garden and a lively fountain that was fed from one of the numerous mountain streams the healer asked Frali many questions about the events on the journey and stressed especially skirmishes and fights.
Frali was a bit surprised about these questions but answered them dutifully and truthful. He could not refrain from hiding the pride in his voice when he mentioned the number of orcs and spiders he had discarded of. With a grin the young warrior mentioned the "decoration" they had left at the ford of the Enchanted River. "That taught them not to meddle with Durin's folk, ha!" Then he sobered a bit. "Well, not for very long. They kept following us, and unfortunately i lost one of my axes so I was pointed to an orc sword which I used instead for the rest of the way." Frali's face shadowed as he mentioned the sword and quickly the Healer led him into the spacious room that served him as examination room. It contained a couch and a desk, two chairs as well as various cupboards with bandages, medical instruments and potions.
"That sword .. interesting weapon that seemingly." Aranwe said gently. "Look me in the eye, Frali, give me your hand and tell me everything you remember about the sword. Shape, form , any decorations maybe and any feelings that this weapon has stirred in you." With that the Noldo gently pressed Frali in one of the chairs and took a seat in the one opposite him, taking care that there was no desk seperating them.
The young dwarf raised his eyebrow surprised and slightly suspicious he answered. "Why do you want to know this? The other elves were quick enough to take the thing away from me. Why didnt you just have a look at it yourself to find out about the looks or decorations." A trace of defiance crept in Frali's voice although he did not register ist.
Aranwe just looked calmly at him and answered. "I could have done that indeed, but I need Your answers, Master Dwarf and your own words. This is what i was sent to do by Lord Elrond and this is what i will do. I am sure you have enough memory and knowledge of orc-weapons to do this for me?" The Noldo was alarmed at the dwarf's reaction but he kept up his professional manner and eye contact. He also hoped that the friendly tone of his voice the challenge was spoken in, took some of the edge off it.
Frali hesitated a bit but then slowly nodded as if something tried to hold him back, then shook his head to clear it. Then he nodded, moved his chair closer to the tall elf opposite him and offered his hand. "Well then, why not ... It is just a sword, and a badly made one at that." At the same time Frali thought Just a sword .. maybe not.
Aranwe smiled and accepted the dwarves hand, then he locked eyes with his opposite. "Speak, Master Dwarf, and do not be afraid. Nothing will be held against you."
Frali nodded with a shy smile and launched into a description of the orc sword, its make and its use during the fights. Then he moved on to the cleaning of the blade and the finding of the runes, the strange feeling that first seemed to emanate from them and then quickly vanished. "That was when I first thought of showing it to Meren, a Lorekeeper who travelled with us" Frali admitted "but I thought I would have it back straight away". He grimmaced slightly at the memory, but his hand stayed firmly, even if lightly shaking, in the Healers hand. In automatic response Aranwe concentrated, reached within himself and started to stream warmth, hope and cleansing powers into Frali's mind.
"What happened then?" he pressed on.
Frali reddened, but still didnt try to retreat or break contact that somehow had grown much more than merely physical. He felt himself speaking more openly, more self- confidently and more aware of the good intentions of the healer opposite him. "Meren didn't like the look of the runes .. nor did the other elves, not even the touch of it. She decided to keep it - to show to Lord Elrond, she claimed. And I ..hmm she gave me a small elven sword she had spare in her supplies and sent me to bed." Frali drew the well crafted weapon and looked at it for the first time with the eye of an expert weaponsmith. A beautiful thing indeed and deadlly sharp as well. He sighed and took hold of the healers hand again who smiled encouragingly. "I must admit that I wanted to take back the sword, I wanted to steal it if I could but Meren made sure that I had no access to it." Then he laughed and all shadows that still filled his heart vanished, feeling much lighter and freer. "That is pretty much the story of this sorry affair, Master Aranwe. One thing you might want to know is that once that sword was away from me I began to see more of the surroundings, the beauty of the mountains and the tranquility when we entered this valley."
There was nothing but admiration, reverence and lightness in the dwarf's countenance and voice now and with relief Aranwe finally broke contact and let go of Frali's hand.
The Healer walked to one of his cupboards, opened it and took out a small bottle containing a golden liquid. He poured two small cups for himself and Frali. Handing the drink over to the dwarf he explained. "I think we have deserved this - facing the shadow and overcoming it is no small task, for neither of us. It restores energy spent, hope and strength of mind. It leaves no room for anything the Enemy might try to do to both of us." Frali nodded and downed it, saluting the Noldo with it first. "You have risked much for me, Aranwe Gildarion. And I thank you from all my heart. But now I must take leave and get ready for the pleasures of this place that my kinsmen mentioned. I trust I shall see you later on there?"
"It is a pleasure to have been of service, Master Frali. If my duties allow it I shall indeed meet you later on in the Hall of Fire."
With a smile and formal bow Aranwe watched the young dwarf walk towards his assigned room. Then he sighed and hurried to find Lord Elrond with his report.

Aiya Valarites, after getting lost a million times running around in circles in the Mines I finally managed to work myself through the Water Works and would have the understandable plea to get rid of the Watcher in the Water once and for all. Please let me know if and when you are able to get one such an adventure under way . Thank you.

Frali:
Frali gave his face a short splash and changed into clean clothes while the friendly Noldo waited outside his room to take him to see Gloin and Gimli. With a smile and polite nod he adressed his guiide: "I am ready, let us go to see my kinsmen."
The Elf nodded and led him to one of the many alcoves in the garden of Imladris where two dwarves where in a lively conversation. "Master Gimli, Master Gloin, here is a kinsman who wishes to see you." With a bow to all three dwarves the guide retreated politely.
"Frali, my lad this is a pleasant surprise!"Gloin exclaimed and gave the young dwarf a warm hug while Gimli beamed at him and took his turn in hugging when his father let go of Frali. He laughed in return and a happiness filled his heart that he had not known since the journey from Erebor had begun. "By Durin's beard, it is good to see you! As it would seem I am here to bring an update on the situation in Erebor which is still the same as when you left - at least it was at my departure. That is as far as the messenger of Mordor is concerned. " Frali's face sobered up. "As far as attacks from the orcs go and fell creatures turning up around the lonely mountain goes they have increased and the road through Mirkwood has grown more dangerous"
With that Frali launched into a full report of their journey only leaving out his plunge into the enchanted river on their first attempt to cross it. That was too embarrassing to mention even to his kinsmen. Instead he enhanced his part in the fights against the spiders and the orcs, making only a short mention of the orcish sword that seemed to have vanished for now. Still, the regret of losing it somehow crept in Frali's voice.
Gloin looked at his young relation and just said: "I understand your wish to keep it as a token of triumph and bounty, lad, but I am sure you can pick up many better things in the days to come. Apart from that orcish craftmanship is poor - if you need new weapons I am sure Lord Elrond has enough in stock or maybe even can get something crafted for a warrior of your skill. There is no workmanship better to be found in Middlearth than the one here in Rivendell."
Frali looked at Gloin, not quite trusting his ears. "Then you think I have done well during this journey? Not made a fool of myself?"
Indignantly the older dwarf shook his head. "Of course not, young fool! You have shown these Silvan folks that you are no coward and know how to handle an axe and sword! And your throwing axes - not many would have remembered to collect them after a fight, so you have shown a clear head and sense of practicality. And I know you well enough, Frali, to know you would have shown no impoliteness towards any of your companions, or have you, maybe in anger by accident?"
Frali shook his head and blushed. "See then - I see no shame in anything you have said and done, lad, just be proud to be one of Durin's folk and one with skill and courage. " Gloin looked fondly at his young kinsman and Gimli nodded in agreement. He added: "These elves can seem a bit intimidating and distant at first but believe me, lad, they are not so bad and can take their stand. Just remind them that you are one of Durin's children and let the past not come in between you and your companions."
Thus the three dwarves spent time in pleasant conversation and the afternoon went by.

To be honest they dont deserve the Valar Guild. This is a lack of customer service and acting in the customer's interest doesnt seem to be their priority. They just can be glad that you guys are who and as you are and that I am no paying customer. As for what Artemas needs let us know what he needs , or best , Thranduil, tell us yourself What level item, what sort of metal or leather or cooking recipes?

Frali:
The young warrior looked surprised at Fainan that she was asking him for such a trifle thing but quickly recovered and smiled. "Of course not, Lady Fainan. This is more your home than mine and if this kind master is already gracious enought to do me this humble service , who am i to refuse?" A humorous gleam showed shortly in the dwarve's normally serious eyes, as he bowed politely.

Well educated and used to acting as steward and guide to newcomers to Rivendell Frali's guide pretended not to hear Meren's exact word. He reacted however to the first part of her comment and adressed her non-chalantly: "I shall take all of you , if you so desire and you will find some water to refresh yourselves."
