MORDOR

Grace and Sam were climbing up the mountain to get to the tower of Mordor.   It was dangerous but they had to save Frodo, no matter the cost.   Grace and Sam walked through the main entrance but they were in luck, there were just bodies of orcs, uruk-hai and goblins lying around.  They ran up stairs to try to find Frodo but suddenly they both stopped.  They heard and saw a Uruk-hai pacing.   As they were walking up the stairs they had more noises.  

They didn't care what was waiting for them, they were gonna find Frodo.  So Sam started to grunt loudly to show no matter who was up there that they were here and Grace followed him.  And finally they started running upstairs.  Grace isn't much of a fighter but no one is gonna stop her to save her best friend.  

When they get upstairs, they see three goblins, Sam does much of the fighting because he has a sword but one goblin runs towards Grace and she kicks him down the tower, to his death.  

Sam turns to his sister.  "Are you okay?"  Grace smiles and nods.  He nods and they continue on their journey to find Frodo.  

When they get very high up in the tower, they see a goblin over Frodo ready to stab him but before the goblin can do anything, Sam has stabbed the goblin in the back.  "Not if i stick you first."     "Sam!"  Frodo screams out in joy.   When the goblin falls down, dead.  Frodo can see Grace aswell.  "Grace!."  She smiles and sits down next to him.  

She start helping him get out of the ropes that they have bound his hands with.  Frodo looks at Sam.  "Sam, i'm so sorry.  I'm sorry for everything."   Sam shakes his head.  "Let's get you out of here."   Frodo shakes his head as Him and Grace helps him up. 

"It's too late, it's over.  They have taken it."  Frodo tells them.  "They took the ring." 

Grace looks at Sam.  "Shall you tell him or shall i?"  Frodo looks at Grace confused.  "What are you talking about?"  

Sam looks at Frodo.  "They haven't taken it, Frodo."  And without saying anymore Sam takes something out of his pocket and shows it to Frodo, it's the ring.

"We thought we lost you so i took it. Only for safekeeping."  Sam tells him.  

Grace could see a different look on Frodo's face.  "Give me the ring.   Sam, give me the ring."  

Hesitantly Sam gives it to him.  Frodo sighes and puts the ring around his neck.  He looks at Sam.  "You must understand, it's my burden.   And if i can't carry it the only one who can is Grace.  She is the only one i trust with it."   Sam nods.   Frodo breathes heavily.  

"Come on, Mr. Frodo.  We must find you some clothes."  Sam tells them.  "You can't walk through mordor without nothing on but your skin."    Grace walks closer to Frodo and reaches out her hand to him.  "Come on."  He nods and takes her hand and they start walking.  

They find some armor and they put it on to blend in and they walk out the fortress and when they come outside and that's when they see it.  Mount doom, their destiny.  

MINAS TIRITH

Joanna is in the throne room with Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Galadhien and Yéreana. 

"Frodo has passed beyond my sight."  Gandalf tells them.   He starts pacing.  "The darkness is deepening."  

"If Sauron had the ring we would know it."   Aragorn answers.  Galadhien nods.  "He's right."  Gandalf looks at them.  "It's only a matter of time."  

"He has suffered a defeat, yes.  But behind the walls of Mordor, our enemy is regrouping."  

"Let him stay there, let him rot! Why should we care?" Gimli asks.  

Gandalf turns to him.  "Because 10,000 orcs now stand between Frodo and Mount Doom."  

Gandalf shakes his head.  "I've sent him to his death."   Aragorn disagrees.  "No, there is still hope for Frodo.  He needs time and safe passage across the plains of Gorgoroth.  We can give him that."  

Gimli looks at him.  "How?"  "Draw out Sauron's armies.  Empty his lands and then we gather our full strength and march on the black gate."  

Joanna walks up to him.  "Are you sure about this?"   Aragorn nods.  "As long we keep Sauron's eye fixed upon us."  

He turns to Galadhien.  "Keep him blind to all that moves."  She nods.  "A diversion" 

Gandalf turns to Joanna.  "As new queen of Rohan i need to ask you something.  Do we have Rohan behind us."    She nods.  "Always.   Joanna starts breathing heavier.  "Excuse me."  She walks out the room.  

She gets to the hall to breathe.  Suddenly she hear the door open and she sees Aragorn.  "I just needed some air."    He sits down next to her.  "Are you okay?"  She feel herself tearing up.  "No, i'm not okay."   He looks at her.  "Do you wanna talk about it?"  She looks at  him.  "If you're ready to listen?" He nods.   

She takes a deep breath.  "It was never my destiny to become queen, it was my brother's.  He was the first born but then he did and it became my destiny but i thought i had atleast a few years more with my father but he's dead now and i'm terrified.  I feel so alone and i don't know if if i can do this."  She starts crying and Aragorn puts a hand on her shoulder.  "Joanna, look at me."  She looks up.  

"You're not alone, you have never been alone and you never will be.  You have your friends and people who love you.  I know that you will be a great ruler of Rohan, probably the best Rohan has ever known and i have thought that ever since we met." 

Joanna looks at him with tears in her eyes for a second before pulling him into a hug.  "Thank you."   He hugs her back.   After a while Aragorn speaks up.  "So Queen Joanna, what do you want to do?"  Joanna pulls back and looks at him.  "We're gonna go into battle and we're gonna help Frodo."  Aragorn smiles nodding and stands up.   He reaches out his hand to her and she takes it and stands up.  They walk back to the throne room to the others.  

Joanna knows one thing, She is gonna make her father proud.  

Grace and Sam has found Frodo and they are on their way to Mount Doom.  The others are going out into battle to help them.   Joanna is accepting herself being queen.  I hope you guys like this chapter and pls tell me your thoughts.
