LOTR - The Two Towers (fan fiction - Aragorn love story)

Prologue

Boromir was the last to see Ariel. He had watch an arrow pierce through her small body. He fought so hard to protect her and the little ones. But the same orc shot him down.

The last thing he saw of Ariel was her body lying motionless. Beginning to radiate a soft light. Then she faded away. He thought that was it, she's dead. He failed.

Whispers....."Boromir....open your eyes Boromir..."

He open his eyes with a flutter... he looks around. Everything was calm and felt peaceful. He mumbles as he sits up from the bed he hadn't noticed he was on "the halls of Mandos.... didn't think I would be here so soon". "Not yet my friend, this land is not for the living nor dead. It's time to get up. You've rested long enough. We've been waiting"  the voice says. Boromir shoots his head toward the voice... "Gandalf? ... but you... how... where are we?" Boromir stumbles over his words has he walks towards Gandalf in shock. "Come along And you shall find the answers you seek" Gandalf turns around with a cheeky smile, leading him to a meeting place.

Stay start to walk through the beautiful surroundings. Open buildings with flowing curtains, small bridges going over waterways that seem to connect to everywhere. Beautiful god like people everywhere. Boromir is in complete shock at the sights before him. "Ha ha ha, no Boromir they are not god like... they are God's and goddesses from every world of all different nature's. More then you will ever be able to comprehend. For now we are expecting at a very important meeting" Gandalf says being able to hear boromirs thoughts.

They continue on for a little longer, passing women and children. They pass by an open field full of men unlike any he has ever seen before. They finally get to there destination. A round table where a beautiful women sits in a large intricate thrown. "My queen" Gandalf says while bowing. Boromir looks stunned then quick follows, bowing low.

"Now now boy's, none of that. Come , sit we have much to discuss now that everyone is awake" the women says in a slightly toying manner. "Everyone? There's more?" Boromir asked confused by her words. He feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns and see's something shocking. Standing before him in a beautiful regal dress with a small crown on her head, glowing brighter then ever before. Boromir's eyes begin to water "Ariel..." he rush's forward, hugging her tightly. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I failed. I couldn't save you".

She hugs him tightly before pulling away. She leads him to the table encouraging him to take a seat. "No Boromir, you didn't fail. And we are not dead. Our journey is not over just yet." She tells him as she takes a seat in a slightly smaller thrown beside the queen. He stares shocked by what she said. "Boromir, you are here because you showed the heart of a god. You may feel guilt for what happened before but that was not you. The ring is powerful enough to corrupt even a goddess such as myself. Your fought hard, sacrificing your own life for those around you." She states placing her hand on Ariel's.

"I'm gifting you a second chance. You are still needed for the success of the quest. I am blessing you as a warrior of middle earth." "Grandmother, you need to explain everything to him" Ariel pipped up. She wanted Boromir to have a choice if he wish's to continue once he knows all the details and what the blessing brings with it.

With a sigh the queen begins "the one you know as Sauron is more then he seems. He is a fallen god. Stripped of his grace and banished from our world. He seemed for power. When I was named as queen to over see our people when our father choice his rebirth, Sauron became angry. The lust for power grew evil within him and he tried to ally forces to fight against his own people. We did not expect for him to be able to grow such power after being cast from our home. But I fear if the fellowship fails he will be strong enough to take even us out." Ariel got up and looked towards the field's as the feeling of heartbreak and betrayal coming off her grandmother is to much to bare.

"We already lost  one of our own. The night Ariel's mother fell pregnant with her, her goddess mother traveled to middle earth to bless them with a new goddess of nature. A guardian of middle earth. Sauron knew that this child would be more powerful then he could handle. She could stop him, so he tried to stop her from exciting. When that failed he decided to try and make her part of his arm."

They continues to talk of the history and events that had happened leading up until now.....
