Gwaihir the Wind Lord (Art by Manzanedo)'Naked I was sent back.... And naked I lay upon the mountain-top.... And so at the last Gwaihir the Windlord found me again, and he took me up and bore me away.'"Ever am I fated to be your burden, friend at need," I said.'"A burden you have been," he answered, "but not so now. Light as a swan's feather in my claw you are. The Sun shines through you. Indeed I do not think you need me any more: were I to let you fall you would float upon the wind."'"Do not let me fall!" I gasped, for I felt life in me again. "Bear me to Lothlórien!"'"That indeed is the command of the Lady Galadriel who sent me to look for you," he answered.'Thus it was that I came to Caras Galadhon and found you but lately gone. I tarried there in the ageless time of that land where days bring healing not decay. Healing I found, and I was clothed in white. Counsel I gave and counsel took.'The Two Towers, LoTR Book 3, Ch 5, The White Rider
