The Return of Ringil[COMPLETED]

Chapter XV

Celeblasdes's point of view.

I watched at the blonde girl rushes to Théoden, whose face begins to change, and soon he looks normal again, I took a few steps back to slightly lean into Aragorn's side. He moved to wrap his arm around me and he turned his head to press a sweet kiss to my temple, Théoden finally focused on the girl teary smiles on both their faces as he recognized her, "I know your face. Èowyn — Èowyn." Smiling at him she helped him up. Seeing Gandalf the king frowned confused, "Gandalf?" Smiling back the white wizard nodded "Breathe the free air again, my friend." He said taking a step back.

"Dark have been my dreams of late." The king said looking down at his fingers as he didn't know if he had his strength back, "Your fingers would remember their old strength better — if they grasped your sword." I said getting his attention, he looked at me and his eyes were just as wide as when he saw Gandalf. The gate guard that had disarmed us earlier had come and brought the King his sword and Théoden curls his fingers around the hilt and draws it. Théoden examines his sword, then turns his gaze towards a cowering Gríma. Whom is still trapped in Gimli's iron grip.

***

Gríma is thrown out of the hall and rolls down the stairs. Crawling backward he begged up at the looming king his sword in hand. "Argh! I've only ever served you, my lord." Glaring darkly the king followed and I was a few steps behind him to stop anything too drastic, "Your leechcraft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast!" Gríma begged not to be dismissed as he continued to crawl back, "Send me not from your side!"

Théoden raises his sword to kill Gríma, but I jumped in front of him and caught his arms, holding tight as he forced to bring the blade down on the floored man. "No my lord! No my lord. Let him go." The king looked at me and he looked awed but then he remembered the man on the ground and his eyes steeled and he glared at the man, "Enough blood has been spilled on his account."

Turning to the man I was going to hold my hand out to him but Aragorn had followed me and did it instead only he was spat on the man got up and ran away. "Get out of my way!!" He cried as he escaped on a brown horse. "Hail Théoden King!" Aragorn said and knelt as did everyone else. "Where is Théodred? Where is my son?" Getting up I rushed to the blonde girl from before. "Where is the prince?" Blinking at me in confusion she leads the way without arguing.

Coming out of the room the prince was in I smiled, "he had only passed on for a few hours so I was able to bring him back. But he will need plenty of rest." I said to the king and his niece. The two let out heavy breaths of relief and clung to one another. "How can I ever repay you?" The king said and I looked to Gandalf, "I want nothing but I will have someone else be the holder of a favor from you." Gesturing to Gandalf he nodded and I went to join Aragorn who hugged me and pressed a kiss to my temple.
