Mil and Estel (Aragorn love story)

Arriving to Edoras

We were starting to see Edoras. Then Gandalf spoke:"Edoras the Golden Hall of Meduseld. There dwells Théoden King of Rohan whose minds is over thrown. Sarumans hold over King Théoden is now very strong. Be careful what you say. Do not look for welcome here" Then I saw beautiful golden blonde woman in the gate. 

The villagers gave us long looks as we walked. "You'll find more cheer in a graveyard"Gimli said. I could not disagree. But I knew how hard times this place must be going through.

 Aragorn helped me from the horse. And we started walk up the stairs. But it was blocked. Guards gave us suspicious looks. "Ahh" Gandalf grinned. "I cannot allow you before Théoden king so armed Gandalf Greyhame. By order of Grima Wormtongue"Even the name made me shudder. Gandalf only nodded. We all started to give or weapons away. Legolas gave his first then Gimli the Aragorn and me. Gave my throwing knives, sword, bow and arrows and daggers. 

"If I believed you have only thee dagger I would know you very badly"Aragorn sighed. There was a reason I did not want to give my two daggers. 

I shook my head. Then I revealed my leg from thigh to mid calf to them. I took one dagger from my thigh and knee. The guard was looking me with lust. I was disgusted. Aragorn seemed to notice and put his arm on my waist pulling me flush to him. I blushed and looked down. Making me even more like cherry he rubbed my hip with his thumb attempting to reassure me that I indeed was safe with him. 

"That was all" Gandalf smiled. "Your staff"the head guard said. "Oh No, you would not part an old man from his walking stick?" Gandalf should go in elfling theater. He made the act even better by grabbing Legolas for support. Guards finally let us go. Gandalf winked making me smirk slightly. The real Gandalf was really back.

 Then we saw the king. He looked sick. Next to him was the monster. Dark lying monster. "My lord Gandalf the grey is coming. He is a herald of woe"He said quickly. "The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late Théoden King"Gandalf said out loud. The guards were making me uneasy. "He is not welcome"Grima demanded. "Why should I welcome you Gandald stormcrow"Théoden said. His voice was hoarse and tired. 

"A question my liege. Late is the hour in which this conjures chooses to appear Lathspell I name him. Ill news is in ill guest"Grima said standing up. "Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm"Gandalf snapped raising his staff. "His staff I told you to take the wizards staff"Grima shrieked backing away like scared mouse. 

The guards attacked us. Luckily we could act quickly. One grabbed me from behind trying to get his hand between my legs. What on earth does this man think. We are in middle of a hall. I snapped I turned around kneeing his nuts with all might. 

"Théoden son of Thengel. Too long have you sat in the shadows"Gandalfs bellowing voice was heard. Two guards ran towards me but they were to stupid and to slow. I flipped them both at the same time. I kicked one out of cold. Then I ran next to Aragorn his reassuring was now needed. Being groped again made my childhood flash in front of my eyes. Aragorn saw and placed his arm around me like before. His thumb running calming circles around my hip.

 Then we turned to Gandalf. "Harken to me! I release you from the spell"he said eyes closed. Then Théoden started to laugh first quiet then always louder. It was dark and cursed laugh. "You have no power here Gandalf the Grey"he said in hoarse voice. Then Gandalf revealed his white rope. Théoden frightened leaned to his throne. "I will draw you Saruman as poison is drawn from a wound"Gandalf pointed Théoden with his staff.

 Suddenly the beautiful lady from before ran in and tried to get to the king. But Aragorn took his arm away from my waist and stopped her. "If I go Théoden dies" Sarumans voice said. Gandalf makes the king fly to his throne with his staff which pointed at him. "You did not kill me, You will not kill him"he snapped. "Rohan is mine"Saruman sneered. "Be gone!"Gandalf said when Théoden tries to jump on him but is thrown back. The lady rushes to the king who starts to look younger and healthier. "I know your face Éwyn-Éowyn"he said quietly. So this is Éomers sister. He told me of her. She laughed tears running down her cheeks. "Gandalf?"Théoden asked. "Breath the free air again my friend" Gandalf smiled. "Dark has been my dreams of late"

"Your fingers would remember their old strength better...if they grasped your sword"the wizard smiled. A guard gave the king his sword. The king turns to Grima. They threw him out of the hall and rolled down the stairs.

 "Aargh! I've only ever served you my lord"he pleaded. "You leechcraft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast "Théoden snapped. "Send me not from your side"the worm pleaded. The king raised his sword put Aragorn stopped him. "No my lord! No my lord. Let him go enough of blood has been spilled on his account"he calmly told. Aragorn held out hand to Grima who spit on it. I was ready to burn that sick little.....AARGH! Then the worm runs off." Hail Théoden king"Aragorn said. We all kneel. "Where is Theodred? Where is my son?"I give him pity look.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All from Rohirrim was out of Edoras waiting Prince to be placed in his tomb. Eowyn sings. When its over people leave to their homes. It felt good to be in fresh clothes. (Pic). We were about to go in the hall when my hands started to burn. I looked at Aragorn. The necklace was glowing. There was not lot of time. I mean maybe months but then it will. Oh lord. 

"Estel"I said. He turned to me. '"I'll come in a second". I ran and ran. I found an empty room. There was little piano. I sat down. It has been long since I've even touched this instrument. I sat down and started to play. I started to sing.

Look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride Or a perfect daughter
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part? Now I see
That if I were truly to be myself I would break my family's heart 
Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me?
 Why is my reflection someone I don't know? 
Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried 
When will my reflection show who I am inside? 
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
(Song is at the start)

All that was true. Bride. No. No one wants a warrior. And a monster of fire. But hold beauty. Then there is my brother. Now I understand how I miss him. I burst in tears.

Aragorn's p.o.v

I heard her singing. We all did. I remember how she played piano. How her fingers moved on the keys. She came in. Her eyes were little puffy and red. She has been crying. I jumped up. And went to her. 

"Whats wrong?"I asked. She just shook her head. I took her in my arms. She hugged my torso. "Thank you"she whispered. "For what?"I asked. "For being born"she sighed. I smiled. Then the door opened. Gandalf and Theoden were carrying little children in their arms. Sonja ran and took the girl from Gandalf. Of course she misses Elton. 

She took the little one and wrapped her in blanket. She also gave her soup. "They had no warning. They were unarmed. Now the Wildmen are moving through westfold burning as they go every rick, cot and tree"Eowyn speaks standing up. 

"Where is Mama?"the little one asks. "Shh"Sonja hushes and hugs the girl against her. She would make good mother. A loving one "This is but taste of the terror that Saruman will unleash. All the more potent fot he is driven mad by fear of Sauron. Ride out and meet him head on. Draw him away ffom your women and children. You must fight"Gandalf offered. "You have two thousand good men riding north as we speak. Eomer is loyal to you. His men will return and fight for their king"I spoke up. "They will be three hundred legions from here by now! Eomer cannot help us! I know what is that you want of me. But I would not bring further death to my people. I will not risk open war"Theoden said.

 Sonja kissed the girls head and came sit by me. "Open war is upon you whether would risk it or not" I sighed. "When I last looked Theoden not Aragorn was king of Rohan"The king said walking to us. Sonja bit her lip. She was nervous. I took her small hand in mine. Something was wrong she was not herself. I gave her worried look. Slowly bringing her head towards and kissed her temple. "Then what is Kings decision?"Gandalf asked.
