Saruman entered the residence of Galadriel,spotting her on the far side of the main room. Saruman gripped his staff tightly, trying to keep step in percise messure.
"Lady Galadriel, Long has it been since our last meeting.
But I am afraid this is not a meeting of....Pleasentries."
Saruman bows in feined respect

I move closer to my old friend, a frown marring both my mind and my face for seldom did I hear this level of concern within the white wizard's voice. He was kind and fair and always hopeful for a brighter dawn, despite his keen knowledge of just has dark the night has been...and can be once more.
Standing before him now, I seek out his eyes with my own.

Saruman walks close to Galadriel, taking a seat to her right.
Saruman uses the power of his voice to attempt to grab hold on Galadriel.
"The Nazgul (Uliri) have arrived near my near tower on mid summers eve. I fear sauron is making his move at last."
Saruman looks wrly at Galadriel.
"Gandalf is no where to be found and I tire of searching. The tide is about to turn, my lady. Are you ready? Or will you be swept away by the current" The latter was spoken as he glanced at Galadriels ring of power.

The shock shows on my face, I know this, but I make no move to correct this. The Nazgul are abroad. The Nazgul are moving westward and yet here is the white wizard discussing Gandalf and tides.
"Truly, my friend, one must have a knowledge of currents and tides to avoid the damage they can wreak. " My mind goes once more to the nine.
"And is their purpose yet known? What errand has He set the Nine on?" I stare ahead unseeingly and let my own mind mull other the possible answer to my questions.

Saruman smiles maniacly.
"You tell me lady that you did not see this already? The Nazgul have found the one who wields the one ring. Even now they are moving towards him! I have sent radaghast the brown to seek out gandalf and to no avail. But the nazgul will take the wretch that wields the ring, and whisk him to their master. Sauran wants WAR!"

"There was a time, before Celebrian's joining with the Peredhel when I looked upon the waters of my mirror and saw the ring sitting amongst seaweeds with little silver fish swimming nearby." I turned out of my reverie and face my companion. "The the ring is lost in the waters of the ocean, you yourself have said thusly."

"Lady Galadriel. It was lost, but Found by the one they call gollum." Saruman frowns
"And now one of the shire folk have it. They seek it! And they will get it! Unless we act now!"
Saruman Gets up and gets closer to Galdriel.
"I have seen Him! The Necromancer of Dol Guldur! He is massing now in mordor, and has now an army that could overtake this middle earth! Even Lothlorien Could not withstand his onslaught!"

"No, Lothlorien has not the power to repel Sauron, but the combined forces of all of the elf-havens do. Gollum now lives in Thranduil's realm, he must be told the truth of the creature he is responsible for." A mallorn leaf floats down from the company to rest upon my feet and I focus upon the veins of the delicate plant very breifly while collecting my thoughts and then it occurs to me and I feel my whole body tense. "You have seen the Dark Lord, but how?"

Saruman smiles vaugley.
"Lady My divices are of my own. But I will reveal this one to you. I have found one of the palantir. I have seen his plot. I feel his heat. His malace!"
Saruman looks away.
"And gandalf saw him when captured there at dolguldur."
Smiling he turns around.
"But what does thou wish to do my lady?"

I turn my body slightly to fully face my companion. "Messangers will be sent to all the Elf Lords still in this world, the Galadhrim are strong, but strength alone has never been enough. Strength needs guidance, but to guide, one must have a goal in mind...and knowledge of the enemy." I drop my gaze to the white ring that glows softly upon my finger. "You say we must act now, but you have given no word as to what you wish to be done."
I smirk softly at the memory of my soldiers entertaining themselves with the whispered words of Men.
"What is it that Men say, Saruman? 'Go not to the Elves for council, for they will say both Yay and Nay'?"

Saruman smiles faintly.
"That they do Lady." Pausing for a moment he frowns.
"We need to send word to Lord Denethor of Gondor. He must protect the citadel. I fear rohan shall have a part to play in this war....and I can protect them....for theodin has become withdrawn....and I fear what has happened. His council has been somewhat tainted....and this could prove to be our ruin."
Saruman looks into Galadriels eyes.
"Do you think that the elves can be united? Along side of the dwarves...and Men. Do you think the differences can be put aside? This war is not going to be a simple one. And sauran is not going to make it any easier. Be weary...for he is near."
Saruman looks deep into Galadriel's eyes. Saruman focuses on the ancient art that he was famed for. Focusing all his power he spoke, enchanted words.
"Join with me Lady Galadriel. Together, with our combined strengths, we can lead the onslaught against mordor. Great power then would be ours. Would you soon come above unto me lady of the Galadrihm?"

I lock eyes with his and feel a strange pull at my mind, another's presence playing with my thoughts.
"I will do my part to aid you as I ever have, Curunir."
The leaf that earlier fell upon my foot is swept to the side slightly by a gentle wind. "There is much blood seperating the three kindreds, many greivances which will not be soon forgotten. You ask me if I believe they can unite and the answer is yes. They can, just as the trees can march and the sky could fall upon us." I turn from his gaze. "Not all the can be, will be."
A potent silence passes as I stare ahead, assembling the words I will later say to my Lord and my March Warden.
"Let us now talk of strategy and logistics."

Saruman looks intently at Galadriel.
"My sources tell me that Gondor is most at risk. There shall be an attack possiably at Helms deep. The forces of gondor must be prepared.....but The steward is a fool.....he will need persuasion.....perhaps I should do that...."
Saruman pulls out a small letter, handing it to Galadriel.
"It is a letter written in orcish. It was intercepted....by an aquaintence of mine. It details Saurons plot....however vauge. I think it would be benificial to you."
Saruman looks out over lothlorien.
"I am at your service....what need be done....I will be here at your disposal"
