Part 5/7:
In conversations with Frodo and Elrond, it became clear that the elves were prepared to risk the power of their own rings for the greater good. The outcome of the One Ring’s destruction was uncertain, yet it was a possibility they had to consider. Galadriel’s willingness to confront these outcomes highlights the depth of her character—a balance between preserving her homeland and confronting the inevitability of change spurred by their choices.
In a poignant reflection, Galadriel noted that Lothlórien's protection relied not solely on her enchanted songs and elf-archers but significantly on the power of Nenya. The weight placed upon Frodo’s shoulders was immense, for the success or failure of his mission would irrevocably alter the fate of the Elves and their ancestral home.
