A/n: This is after the whole fellowship. And Legolas didn't sail away or anything. Everyone is still in Middle earth. These are not my characters.

Prologue

Aragorn new his strength was not growing. Every step his took felt like the end, but it wasn't. He kept trudging from the land, which he loved. Gondor. Ever since the ring of power had been destroyed, everyone thought evil was gone forever. But, in the shadows of the land, those of Saurons minions who lived began strengthening. They were waiting to attack. They targeted his land and people, but he managed to escape making him the only survivor. As he walked badly fatigued and wounded, he thought back to the days when there was a fellowship. He thought back a while. He dwelled on Legolas longer then the others. For some reason he felt even worse without him. But, he figured the elven prince would not remember a mortal man such as he.

"The world is hopeless, maybe I shall head for the Shire. Frodo, and Sam and the others will be there. I could warn them of the evil that is coming" Aragorn blinked his eyes, "Then again you are a tree and won't tell me what you really think." He looked agitated.

He began his slow walk wondering again about his old friends. Wondering if they had heard of the downfall of Gondor. Would they be worried? Not actually wanting to he let his mind wander. He thought about the days when there was a fellowship, when he had friends by his side. Mainly Legolas, but that wasn't the point. He began to stumble feeling the world spinning under his feet. He knew not of who the leader of the Orcs is, but he knew if he lived through this he would kick his ass.

"Oh look, you'd be a tree, yes do you know the direction." He sat in silence actually expecting an answer, "I've gone insane, damn!"

He sat down figuring this was the end. No use carrying on, it was too hard. The world had begun to spin very fast. He heard footsteps. To weak to look and figure out where they were coming for he shut his eyes expecting the worse. Listening to the clanking of armor come closer and closer did no help. Then it all went black.
