Burns...
It wasn't until later that night during their escape that Treebeard began feeling the throbbing pain of his burns. They weren't that bad, just as longs as none of his limbs had been...missing. But his bark-like skin was now black and charred in places. Hmm, this will be showing for years before it fully heals. thought Treebeard idly.

The elves around him had stopped for a rest in some place, rather far from the now overrun Imladris. All were looking tired, distraught, and hurt. The attack had taken something from all of them. He could still remember the screaming of his beloved trees as each of them ignited like torches under the fire of the flaming arrows.

But his injuries would be fine, nothing really serious. The rest of them needed their rest and didn't need other worries to deal with.

The watch is set. The people of Imladris find a few moments rest on their way to Gondor, where they hope to be given refuge. In the quiet of the night Galadriel sits in a nearby tree, watching her old friend Fangorn.

She isn't sure what she can do to help him. This is not Lothlorien where she could try to make it rain to sooth his wounds. With a helpless sigh, she leans against the trunk of the tree she sits in and considers other options. Long minutes pass before a small smile sneaks upon her face. It may not be the happiest of songs, but it seems fitting, and perhaps it will make the dear Ent feel a bit better.

Her voice rings out into the night air, carrying across the small clearing.

"Lirnen lassion, laurië lassion ar laurië lassi tuianer:
súrio lirnen, súrë utúlië ar súyanes olwassen.
Anar pella, Isil pella, Eärë falastanë,
ar mi Ilmarino hresta Alda laurëa ortanë.
Oiosinyëo nu eleni mi Eldamar cacálala,
mi Eldamar, Tiriono ara rambar Eldaiva.
Laurelassi lohtier andavë et olwava yénillon,
nan Alatairë pella sinomë sí Eldanier lantëar.
A Lóriendë! Sí Hrívë utúlië, Arë helda lassevalta;
lantëar lassi celumenna ar síra Sírë oar.
A Lóriendë! Fárië yéni mi Falas Sina amárien,
ar fifírula rië irícien laurëa elanarnen.
Nan ciryaron sí liruvan, quí tuluva nir cirya,
i cirya i nyë atacoluva ter Eärë allanda?"**


**(translation from the Quenya:)
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew:
Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew.
Beyond the Sun, beyond the Moon, the foam was on the Sea,
And by the strand of Ilmarin there grew a golden Tree.
Beneath the stars of Ever-eve in Eldamar it shone,
In Eldamar beside the walls of Elven Tirion.
There long the golden leaves have grown upon the branching years,
While here beyond the Sundering Seas now fall the Elven-tears.
O Lorien! The Winter comes, the bare and leafless Day;
The leaves are falling in the stream, the River flows away.
O Lorien! Too long I have dwelt upon this Hither Shore
And in a fading crown have twined the golden elanor.
But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me,
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?

Treebeard turns his head as he hears the clear voice of Lady Galadriel's singing. He smiles and sighs as he hears the song, swept up in the lyrics and melody. The burns now seemed to be of less pain now and his melancholy lifted.

With a grateful smile, he says, "Thank you my lady."
