Heart Broken

Sadness

Everyone gathered at Arwens funeral elves, hobbits, man it was different. There were plenty offlowers to all of Arwens favorites. Elrond was glad Aragorn wanted Arwen to remain on elven land. Legolas felt horrible he couldn't stand the constant look of pain and sadness on Aragorn's face. Angel would grow up never knowing her mother personally but only knowing her by the stories people would tell her. Legolas noticed Boromir didn't really look all that sad at the funeral. Why is that? Didn't he love her?

AragornsPOV
I couldn't help all the sadness I was feeling flowing threw me as if I would never be happy again, but all I had to do was look at Angel or Legolas and I felt happiness again. "Elrond it was great to see you again but I'm afraid I have to go I have my kingdom to worry about" Elrond looked at me sadly. "Aragorn you can't keep locking yourself away in your castle and work all day and night" I just nodded "I think I should leave Angel here give her time with her elven family" Elrond smiled looking at the child "that would be great"

I went to pack my things so I could leave and go back to the solitude of my kingdom. Just as I was about to leave there was knock on the door. "Who is it?" There was silence " I said who is it?" There was a sigh from the other side of the door. "It's your brother" what could Boromir possibly want he didn't say one word to me since I arrived in the beginning of the week. "Go away Boromir, I want to be left alone" I heard him chuckle a bit then foot steps walking away. I waited a few minutes then left my room and went to saddle up my horse but when I walked in Legolas was already there all saddled up. "Legolas what are you doing?" he looked up smiling "I'm getting ready to leave" I stared at him for a minute "going back to Mirkwood are you" Legolas looked at me still smiling "no I'm going with you to Gondor"

Standing there watching him for a second I knew I couldn't tell him I didn't want him to come with me it would be a lie and it would also hurt him. Getting on my horse I smiled "shall we go then" Legolas looked shocked "your not going to say goodbye to Angel" I completely forgot in my rush of leaving I never did say bye to my daughter. "No let's just go" Legolas didn't say another word he just turned around and took off.

We made it back to Gondor in 5 days both deciding we needed to rest after our long journey. I slept till it was time for dinner getting up and walking to the dinning room seeing Legolas already there before I could sit down one of my messengers ran in "There's an emergency sir an army of Orc are trying to break down the gates of the white city." Walking back around the table I just grabbed a roll this would have to be my dinner. "Get the army prepared and get them all in the court yard I'll meet you there in a minute." Looking at Legolas I frowned "let's go grab our things and meet me in the study I have to talk to the war council" Legolas nodded hurrying out of the room.

Quickly changing and grabbing my sword I walked into the study it was a mess the council were shouting at one another making no since. I looked to my chair and saw Legolas lounging in it twirling an arrow. "Everyone calm down" no one seems to notice me getting a bit aggravated I tried again "will all of you shut the hell up!!" Everyone stopped to look at me and I saw a smirk on Legolas' face. "Sir what coarse of action should we take?" I thought about it turned it around in my head a few times. "We fight the army is already on alert waiting my decision" the war council didn't seem to like this idea but I'm king and what else can we do just sit here and do nothing and let them invade the city. No I wasn't going to let that happen they came here to kill not have tea.

"Legolas come with me we have a war to start" Legolas laughed jumping out of his seat "yes sir" leaving the study and entering the court yard we saw the army as well as some civilians even women with weapons. Legolas nudged me a bit "you got to tell them what to do" I tried not to laugh cracking bit of a smile I knew what I had to do but it hurt that some of them may not be coming back with us.

"My fellow brothers and sisters tonight we go into battle,not all of us will make it back alive. I am willing to risk my life for my kingdom and I will fight beside all of you tonight. If I'm lucky I will make it out alive beside you but if the worse comes and I die I will die happy knowing my people will fight." Everyone who was in the court yard filled with pride at their kings words.

"Now let's hunt some Orc!" Everyone charged into battle yelling. The fight seemed to last forever Aragorn just wanted to get the Orc as far off his land as possible. When all the Orc were either dead or retreating Aragorn finally breathed easy again. There wasn't a lot dead but Aragorn had a special service for all of them.

A few days passed and Aragorn and Legolas were in the study when the messenger walked in looking deathly pale and scared. "Sir we got word from the orcs that the battle isn't over that they will attack again when no one expects it" me and Legolas looked at each other having a silent conversations with our eyes. We knew what needed to be done we had to go after the Orc before they could get to us. As if on cue me and Legolas both touched each others shoulders I sighed "guess I have to go to war" Legolas nodded "I'll be by your side the whole way" looking at the messenger Aragorn shot into action "go alert the war council that a war has started and then go rally the troops. Looking back towards Legolas I smiled "go get ready then get down to the court yard and help anyone that may need armor or weapons I will join you there in a minute." Watching them both walk out I sighed. Why did my life seem like it was falling apart. Arwen why did you have to go, why leave me with all this pain. I made a vow I would find out who murdered her when this was all over. Opening the door I froze for a minute if something happened to me Angel would lose both of her parents but I smiled knowing she was in good hands with Elrond. Finally closing the door and heading to the court yard yet again this week for another battle but this time it was guaranteed he might not come back most of them probably wouldn't come back. This war was going to last longer than anyone expected and it was going to bring lots of heart break.
