I have nothing to do either with Tolkien or Lord of the rings or any of the characters. I am not making any money or anything like that.
Summary: What happens when the hardest decision must be made for Aragorn?
_____________________________________________________________________
Gimli was exhausted he pushed himself to keep going. All around he saw the ground littered with the dying or the dead he ducked as another of the Urik- Hai tried to take his head his count was now 29. Let the elf try and beat that! Ha Ha! He always said an axe was better!
Once the call for retreat had been sounded the dwarf had ran for the door. Inside he came upon Aragorn but could find no sign of Legolas.
"Our losses have been great master dwarf."
"As long as I have breath I will fight on!"
Aragorn looked into Gimli's eyes and smiled sadly.
"Haldir is dead"
"Does Legolas know?"
"I have not seen him, he was on the eastern wall."
*********************************************************************
Meanwhile Legolas and three other elves were fighting on the east wall. They had not heard the call to retreat but when Seolan one of the lead archers from Lothlorien saw the others flee for the door guessed what was happening.
"Narolan, Legolas retreat!!!"
The three of them began the hard journey to cross the wall. However it seemed that every Urik-Hai wanted their blood. About 100 metres from the doors they saw them close the doors. Seolan ran to the door while the others held off the Urik-Hai.
"Open the door it is Seolan, Narolan and Legolas."
*********************************************************************
Inside two of the guards went to open the door, however before they could start to open it the king shouted
"NO!!"
"My King they are elves."
"No leave the door, the Urik-Hai will be behind them find some reinforcements for the door!"
The guards made no move to follow.
"That's an order!!"
With that the guards began to find things to push against the door.
Gimli ran up to the door and began to fluster with the lock. Aragorn went to join him but the king grabbed him.
"Aragorn, I count on you to agree with me on this"
Aragorn pulled his hand back,
"There are three out there who will be mutilated if we don't get to them. Can you live with them on your conscience?"
"Could you live with 5,000 women and children on yours?"
"I cannot sleep with knowing that my friend is on the other side of that door and I left him to die!"
"Your friend is a warrior, you will be a king! Every day you will send out people to die. Look beyond your friends face Aragorn son of Arathon!"
Aragorn looked into the eyes of the king and nodded.
"Gimli."
Gimli looked sharply at Aragorn just as he began to take his axe to the door.
"Gimli.don't.leave the door."
"WHAT?"
"Leave the door Gimli, get reinforcement."
"Your not going to listen to that orc shit over there! He's your friend you son of a bitch! LEGOLAS!! I'm coming!!"
Aragorn grabbed Gimli and pulled him in front of him. Staring him straight in the eyes.
"Leave the door, I will not kill the women and children and the rest of us standing for three."
"If you were on the other side would you think that? Or would you pray they open the door"
Aragorn closed his eyes.
"I would wish for the door to open. But if it didn't I would know there was a good reason."
Even to Aragorn himself that sounded lame. Gimli looked disgusted.
"You go after the others Merry and Pippin remember them? No after Legolas he's young still. I'll get him, I'm going to help him!"
With that Gimli ran to the doors. The king called the guards who took him from the door still screaming "LEGOLAS!! NOO!!"
All the time inside those close to the door could hear the pounding and pleading of Seolan who continued to pound on the door.
*********************************************************************
Seolan turned to his friends who were fighting the Urik-Hai. Narolan had a nasty cut on his forehead. Legolas with an arrow in his side and blood flowing freely from his back.
"***It won't open! Legolas try!***"
Legolas turned to the door
"***Aragorn open up it's Legolas!***"
He heard something at the door. He turned pale and looked to the others who continued to fight.
"***Well?***" Narolan said as he avoided a sword that had been aimed at his head.
"***They won't open it***"
"***What?!***"
"***We're on our own***"
The three elves looked at each other knowing what was to happen next. Narolan had tears on his face as he looked at the others. Seolan looked at his friends then said
"***Oh God***"
Legolas nodded looked back at the door at those he had pledged his life too and gasped as he desperately fought not to be overcome with tears. The three of them stood around each other an faced the Urik-Hai. Legolas took once look up to the sky
"***See you in Mandos, my friends***"
*********************************************************************
All on the other side of the door looked at it and felt a mixture of relief and guilt. Relief that it was not them but guilt that they had wished it on another. They had seen Aragorn go to the door and shout through it to the elves that were on the other side. Whatever he had said must have been enough for the few remaining elves in the room stood openly with tears pouring down their faces. A few together sang but it fizzled out soon after.
Aragorn sat against the door, tears running down his face. Over the last minute, the sound of screaming Urik-Hai got worse. Soon after one moment peace was heard on the other side. Aragorn sat with his back against the wall gasping with tears as he then realised what had happened and tried to say good-bye to his friend.
The pounding on the door began again but all inside knew it was the Urik- Hai. The soldiers had already begun to reinforce the door. Aragorn kept whispering the same thing over and over again.
"Forgive me my friend"
