When Luminarie saw the orc army, she smiled.
" KEEP THE LINE!" she roared while lowering Aeglos like a knight's lance. When she did this, all the other elves lowered their spears and raised their shields like normal heavy cavalry. The orc riders began to charge in their direction while shooting arrows, but they didn't take into consideration that the mounts of her men and women weren't normal horses that had almost the same speed as them. When Luminarie saw that the orcs were moving in their direction, she screamed, " FULL SPEED!!! CHARGE!!!" and then they moved even faster. The Mearas in full sprint were as swift as Nazgûl, and when all of them began to move at this speed, the elves with Celebrian saw only that they were moving at almost triple the speed of normal horses. When they clashed with the orc riders, the first encounter was fast and smooth. From almost 200 orc riders who were attacking the convoy, only about 20 were left. And even they were killed by arrows from the squads who were protecting Arwen on the hill from where Luminarie led her charge. When they approached the circle of elves, they slowed down, and Luminarie shouted towards Celebrian.
" Stay here and wait for Arwen. We will take care of the rest." When she said these words to Celebrian, they charged towards the infantry.
" Luminarie, you can't...!" Celebrian shouted to her, but even if she heard her, she didn't take her words to heart and continued riding towards the orcs. After a few seconds, she heard another horse and looked towards the newcomers, seeing her daughter among them. " Arwen! What are you doing here?!" she asked in panic while thinking of how to convince her to run while there was still a chance.
" My Lady Celebrian, when our commanders arrive with the rest, it will be a massacre, so don't worry about anything," said one of Arwen's guards with a light smile, and when she heard him, she was surprised.
" Luminarie has more troops here?" she asked.
" Yes, Lady Celebrian, and we are elites from her army," said the other elf with pride.
When she heard them, she took a closer look at them and gasped when she saw their equipment. They had the same Noldor armor that she remembered, but they were more silver than she recalled, and when she looked closer, she noticed that they were made of mithril. After inspecting them , she turned towards the riders who were about to clash with the orcs and asked ,
" Do they have the same equipment as you?"
" Yes, they do. And so will the rest that will come." She heard the answer and nearly lost her footing.
" Luminarie, what did you do to have so much mithril?" she asked with a dumbfounded expression .
" Mother , from what I discussed with my teacher, she said that she has much more mithril as her army is equipped with it."
" Hmmm... wait, what teacher?" Celebrian asked, confused.
" Father asked Lady Luminarie to teach me how to fight."
" Did he lose his mind? Did he forget about her teaching methods? She was an instructor for just an hour for the riders in Imladris when your father founded it. They didn't recover for a week!" she said.
" But she said she would take care of me , " Arwen replied, and when Celebrian heard it, she looked at her.
" Did she say anything else? Anything?" she asked her daughter.
" Well, I think I was the only one who heard it, but she said I was cute," said Arwen, looking down at her boots. When she didn't receive a response from her mother, she looked up and saw her smiling at her.
" Then you are safe. She will protect you like a dragon its treasure. She said the same thing about me, and when she heard about Elrond, she arrived with her swords and said that she would teach him to protect me. Your poor father had the worst month of his life then. I thought that he would leave me, but he said that he had a conversation with her beforehand and that he had agreed to it to be able to protect me and our children in the future." She said , still smiling. At the same time, she said that there was the sound of horns from two sides.
" Commanders are moving to encircle the orcs," she heard. When she looked in the direction Luminarie had gone, she saw, from both wings of the elven cavalry, two companies with the same equipment as the first she had seen . They were in full charge at the sides of the orcs, closing the gaps to not leave even one alive. The fight was fast and clean. It ended in about ten minutes. She surveyed the whole battalion before her and saw that they ended up with only minor injuries where the armor didn't protect them, but even then, they were laughing at those cuts . Luminarie looked over the battlefield and ordered the recovery of anything that could be used later, laying it to the side, and after that, to group up the bodies of the orcs to burn them. The bodies of the wargs would be used for furs and meat to sell to human villages. After issuing those orders , she approached Celebrian and Arwen with two squads that included elven healers to assist with injuries in the elf lady's escort.
" Celebrian, you didn't change even after those long years. Again, I had to cross blades with someone to help your beautiful ass," said Luminarie with a grin on her face.
" Lumi, could you not talk like that now? I am married, and we are in front of my daughter. You know that I love you, but only as an older sister , " said Celebrian with a tired but warm smile.
" Hehe, I know, but I am relieved to see you alive and well. When I think about what I saw in the vision... well, let's not talk about it now. It will not happen with me here , " Luminarie said with a relieved face. When Celebrian saw it and heard her words, she frowned.
" I knew that your appearance wasn't random. Tell me, if that was someone else here, would you come to help?" asked Celebrian, but she knew the answer in her heart. Luminarie wasn't like that. She wouldn't, of course, turn around if she saw something in front of her, but she would not do anything like that out of goodwill .
" Nope. You are my sworn sister, and I will not let you be in those hands and what would happen to you there. Anyone else can fuck himself ; I don't care. You know I only care about those close to me , " she said, with a straight face.
" Then I guess I am lucky to be chosen by you to be your sister," Celebrian said while she sat on the grass and the healers took care of her shoulder and leg.
" Mmm, yes you are. By the way, did you hear about my mentorship with Arwen? You better prepare her while you are in Lothlórien for what will come while I go to visit Thranduil in his little kingdom , " she said and went towards the battlefield that was cleaned now. She went towards the small hill of equipment and used one of her bracers, which was enchanted to store all of it. Arwen walked after her and asked the question.
" Why are you taking their equipment when yours is superior to theirs? You don't need it, right?" she asked while watching her store everything.
" Well, my people don't need it, but we can reforge it to its peak and sell it to humans, dwarves, or hobbits as tools, weapons , or even armor . That way, we can recycle the ores that were tainted with dark magic because we will purify them before making anything , and you need to know that ores can end in mines , so you need to be careful what you are making," Luminarie said with a smile while teaching Arwen about the environment . " Okay, let's wrap it up, and we can continue the journey. When we return after escorting you back to Imladris , I will come here with my soldiers to clear this path, at least for the nearest future; it would be safe , " she said and went towards Strider and got on his back. " Let's go!"
