Chapter 4: Child of Rohan
We made it to Edoras. Our little band was greeted with solum faces and sad eyes. As we went to enter the palace, we were stopped by a guard and someone I recognized.
"Roryn?" I gasped. He nodded.
"I left the riders soon after you met us." I was forced to hand over my weapons. The man blinked.
"Your staff Gandalf." Gandalf smiled.
"You would not part an old man from his walking stick." We entered the hall and Gandalf spoke to the figure on the throne.
"The hospitality of your hall has lessened of late, Theodon king." Theodon laughed.
"Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow?" The ugly man on the king's left whispered in his ear. Gandalf approached the king and the guards swarmed us. I kicked and punched, until Roryn joined the fray. He and I grappled for a bit. He smiled.
"Fancy seeing you here." I glared at him.
"So you serve the little slime ball, so you?" Roryn grimaced.
"Of course not!"
"Then why are you here?"
"Trying to save the king."
"Well, get proof!" I kicked him away. He stood, but did not attack me.
"You fight well."
"For a girl?" I shot back.
"For anyone." I smiled. He blushed and I felt my cheeks flush as well. We turned to see the king with someone I assumed was his daughter or niece. He looked around.
"Where is Thedrid? Where is my son?"
