What makes a soldier or soldier? Is it his soulless commitment to his Regiment? To his duties? To the Crown? Or is it something else?
There is a saying that composition and combat are two separate worlds; I say otherwise.
What makes a soldier is his passion. What makes a soldier is his willingness. What makes a soldier is music.
This is the story of a young man who loved both worlds with all his heart and his journey to become a part the best musical force in the world.

Witch: Aragorn
(Y/n) (L/n) has been on the run her whole life. Where she is from, she is considered a witch. Gondor would not welcome her any longer. She was a nuisance to society. Cast aside, she runs from her troubles into the adventure she never thought she needed. And there, she meets someone who accepts her as she is. I do not own any of these characters except (Y/n). All rights go to the amazing creator, J.R.R Tolkien and the creators and owners of the movies. Also, (Y/n)'s powers come from the MCU, so the ideas I get from there belong to the writers of Marvel.Complete

"You have to stop." she whispered urgently. "You're placing too much of this war onto your own shoulders, when you have hundreds of men behind you willing to help you carry it." Her words evidently managed to pull his attention back up to her face, his eyes only a little bit wide at her declaration. Underneath his suddenly intense gaze, she felt her throat begin to grow dry.

The Forbidden Child
She was an accident. That's what she really was. Born a royal. Raised a commoner. An insignificant girl, born to have children and make her future husband happy. Never would she imagine that her father was a cast out king and her mother the daughter of a lord. Never would she imagine that she could be raised to be so much more; a warrior, a princess, or whatever she wanted to be. Never had she been told this as a child because she had been just that, a child. She would never have a perfect childhood and never would she be able to have that special bond with her parents. And all because she was a mistake. All because she was the product of a forsaken romance. All because she was forbidden.Complete

Evelyn is known as many things: a warrior, a bad attitude, destruction embodied, and a person with a record of vaporizing anyone that she didn't like. But that was all before she barged into the Council of Elrond, uninvited; with a plan to help accompany the Ring-bearer to Mordor. Saucy and battle-willed till the end, Evelyn delves into the journey of the Fellowship-- her devastating skill with steel and her unquenchable determination becoming a pillar for the group.

Because even though she may be their only hope, she can also be the sword of their destruction....Complete
