The Return of the King and Queen

Chapter 14: The End of Our Fellowship

Amdiriel reached the top of the hill and caught her brother's gaze as a third arrow lodged itself into his chest. "NO!" Amdiriel yelled as her brother fell to his knees, gasping the last of his breathes. She raced as fast as she could down the hill but was confronted by three more uruk-hai the others in retreat as she heard her and her brother's name being called by Merry and Pippin .

Amdiriel had just slain the last orc when she heard footsteps coming from behind her, somehow she knew they belonged to a man, probably because they were light but not light enough to be an elf. Amdiriel looked up to see one uruk-hai holding her brother by the hair and an archer taking aim for his head but Boromir stood fearless in the face of death.

Both Aragorn and Amdiriel ran forward to attack. Amdiriel pulled her dagger from her waist and threw it just as the archer had let his arrow fly. The tip of the arrow was stopped dead in its tracks by the blade of her dagger. The two then tackled the uruk-hai to the ground, Aragorn going after the archer and Amdiriel after the one who was holding her brother captive.

Amdiriel and the uruk-hai rolled on the ground a couple of times, Amdiriel had somehow lost her sword in the process near Boromir. Amdiriel had moved on top of the uruk-hai, and was about to move to stab him, but she received a punch to the face causing her to fall backward. She continued to roll out of her way back to her sword but the uruk-hai had picked her up. Amdiriel was about to stab the uruk-hai but she had a knife put to her throat, ready to slice her open. Suddenly, the uruk-hai yells in pain, dropping the knife and Amdiriel. The uruk-hai turned and Amdiriel could see Boromir's dagger in the lower back of the uruk-hai. She then looks up her to see her brother fall to his knees in pain and onto his back.

Amdiriel got to her feet and ran at the uruk-hai advancing on her brother. Amdiriel pulled her curved dagger out and jumped on the back on the uruk-hai stabbing him in the shoulder. The uruk-hai yelled again and spins around sending Amdiriel to the ground. She fell just in reach of her sword, she reaches her hand forward her fingers just reaching the tip of the hilt. 

Boromir watched as he could do nothing as his sister was thrown to the ground again. He could tell that his sister seeing him dying was weighing on her mind, making her fighting reckless. he spots her sword near his left foot as she reaches for it. He musters up the strength he could and kicks her blade towards her. Amdiriel's blade was thrusted into her hand, she then turned around and thrusted it into the gut of the uruk-hai sending him to his knees. Amdiriel spun around, dodging another fatal blow, using the momentum from her spin to push herself to her feet. This time swinging at the neck, removing the uruk-hai's head from its miserable shoulders. 

"Boromir." Amdiriel whispered as she fell to her knees in front of her brother, Aragorn falling next to her not even a second later. "They took the little ones." he told them. "Be still." Aragorn told him. "Frodo? Where is Frodo?" asked Boromir as he gripped the ranger's shoulder as Amdiriel ran a frustrated hand through her hair seeing the loss of blood flowing from her brother's body. "I let Frodo go." Aragorn told him. "Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the Ring from him." Boromir admitted. "The Ring is beyond our reach now." Aragorn replied. "Forgive me, I did not see. I have failed you all." Boromir said. "No, don't you dare say that." Amdiriel said. "No Boromir, you fought bravely. You have kept your honor." Aragorn said. 

Amdiriel then figured it would be best to remove the arrows while Aragorn distracted Boromir, so she reached for the arrows but Boromir's hand grabbed hers. "Leave it! It is over, for the world of men will fall and all will come to darkness and our city to ruin."  Boromir told them. "No, it will not because you are going to be fine and we are going to go back to Gondor together." Amdiriel said. "It is too late for me and you know it is." he told her. "Then take whatever life that is in me. Take it!" she said as the tears silently streamed down her face.
"No Amdi, not even you have a heart strong enough for the both of us. If you die, hope dies." he told her. Aragorn then moved to try and removed to pull them out the arrows anyway but Boromir extend his arm to stop him. "Boromir." she whispered, pain evident in her voice. Aragorn spoke up "I do not know what strength is in my blood but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail." Aragorn told him.
