dreamflower...who requested a scene in Lothlorien, any characters. ( I chose Galadriel's POV, after her "testing" of the Fellowship.)
I am amazed by the little ones. They are not simple-minded, no, not even the little gardener who thinks of himself so; they are very intelligent. But it is not in their minds that I find their strength to resist temptation--but in their hearts. I probe for weakness, for the ambition or selfishness that will allow the Ring to take hold, and find only the strength of a love so natural and so strong that the Shadow will never overcome it, though it may destroy the body. These four are bound to one another, there will be no treachery there.
