Esmeralda West moves into the Shire with her uncle, a few houses down from the Bagginses. As years pass, young Frodo tries to break her out of her shell. Then, Gandalf the Grey tells him about the One Ring. Esmeralda joins the quest with her friend...
In the House of Healing, Éowyn looks out over the city through the window.
"The City has fallen silent." She says, as Faramir walks up from behind her. "There is no warmth left in the sun. It grows so cold."
"It's just the damp of the first spring rain." He says, standing next to her.
She looks up at him, and he looks deep into her eyes and smiles.
"I do not believe this darkness will endure."
He grabs her hand, and she leans her head on his shoulder. He rests his cheek on her head, and they stand together, looking out over the city.

Frodo and Esmeralda arrive on the plains of Gorgoroth, as a horn sounds.
"Look!" She exclaims. "The Orcs, they're movin' off!" She looks at Frodo, and he slightly smiles at her. "Ya see Frodo, some luck at last."
"Move it, you slugs!"
The two Hobbits turn around, to see a band of Orcs heading towards them from behind.
"Come on! Faster!"
Frodo and Esmeralda frantically look around for a place to hide. They move to the side of the road and sit down, hoping that they will not be seen. Esmeralda puts her gloved hand up to her face, and Frodo tries to sink into the wall.
"Come along you scum!" An Orc yells, as the group gets closer. "I'll whip you down to the bone! Come on! What have I told you!"
They begin to pass by Frodo and Esmeralda. A few moments later, one of the Orcs notice them.
"Get up!" He yells, taking out his whip, and hitting them. "Come on you slugs!"
Frodo and Esmeralda get up, and get pushed in the group.
"You two are going straight to the front line! Move it, come on! Fall in! Move it!"
"To the gate you slugs, now move it!" Another Orc yells. "Don't you know we're at war?"
They continue to march for a while, until then General Orc stops them. "Company halt! Inspection!"
