Prologue

A little tobacco skinned girl sat in front of her father as they rode on the plains of Gondor heading away from the gleaming white city. The sun was rising as the two laughed; it had been years since the two had smiled together like this and therefore made both parties feel alive again. The father, whose brown hair was tied back, kicked the horse again causing the horse to rear and then jumps forward in a leap of joy. The girl screamed her wooden sword was strapped to her side as a huge grin that was far too big for her face spread her cheeks up to her eyes. For her this was the best day since she met Boromir and Faramir at a ball she had to attend with her father.

The girl had been so dazed in thought she never noticed the horse stop and them having reached their destination. "May I help you my Lady?" Her father asked bowing and offering her his gloved hand.

"Thank You" Taking his hand she dropped down to the floor but before that he spun her round.

Settling on the soft ground she smiled at her father as he walked away "I have a surprise" he called disappearing into the overgrowth. Shrieking she waited nibbling on a grape as he reappeared with a pony; the pony was just taller than her and held this innocent look about it as it nodded its head.

"I love him papa" she squeaked hugging the pony her small thin arms going round its neck.

"Come, let us eat" He smiled the only thing he needed now was that glow in golden blue eyes as she laughed.

They began to eat occasionally smiling and laughing as they nibbled on crackers and cheese; they were unaware of everything around them; high on happiness. They didn't need anyone with them her Mother who ran when she could. Plaiting the brown hair of his daughter's, he smelt the rich scent on it. It didn't smell of sand or exotic markets like her mother's but it did smell of the two steward son's leather vests and fresh berries.

The knight relaxed a bit as he kissed his daughters head. "Anna dear pass me a strawberry" he called.

The strawberry came up to his mouth and he bit into it as he leaned back on the tree they took shade under as they ate; a glass of elder-flower juice in a goblet which they shared; as the two thought of everything and nothing in this one spot together.

"Papa, can I see Boromir and Faramir tomorrow?" she squeaked as she plaited the pony's mane

"Of course darling" he replied dropping a grape into his mouth before stroking the bearded which was forming on his chin.

After the food the pair lounged in the sun like a couple of cats enjoying piece when one noise arose from around them. It was far from human and tore through the girl like she was just a piece of parchment. Following was a noise the solider had heard to many times the victory cry of orcs and the man was scared for the girl but the girl was equally scared.

"Edhanna get on the pony" he said plainly untying it as well as the horse

"Papa?" she asked frightened the girl was terrified

"Edhanna, get on the pony" he ordered

"What's going on?" she pleaded as she looked at her father becoming stressed

"Edhanna get on the damn pony now!" he shouted panic, stress and fear so visible that the girl was scared and followed; saddling the pony she kicked it into a gallop.

Edhanna was uncomfortable ridding so fast as she was only 8 in age, and only been learning since Faramir was 4 because Boromir wouldn't teach her. With a few more kicks she rode on, she could smell fire and looked back at her father. This was a sign of help and he only hopped the men would see the flames; throwing the torch he kicked the horse forward after his daughter. Both animals were nodding their heads furiously as they tried to get their riders to safety but they could hear the black riders too and they were scared.

She hummed a song as she rode a soft one to get rid of fear but this was a bigger fear and mother's lullaby wouldn't work here. They were a while away from the city and the animals were getting tired one more stream crossing and the pony was slowing. Fear was set in the fathers eyes as he turned and stopped the horse so the animal could nudge the pony on.

"Oh Valar please do not let me loose her too" he muttered as the pony moved again in a canter fast and a bit unbalanced but still moving. He breathed a thank you as they went on but who knew the valar was so cruel.

A black rider or ring wraith had moved forward away from its party to confront the man. It had caught up with him; he turned the stallion away from the runaway but the wraith had knocked him off guard with a simple swing... The stallion fell to the right the rider wasn't crushed just injured a bit and now had to face a wraith on two legs. "Please by the name of the Valar let my darling girl is safe" he muttered.

Edhanna's father never needed to worry because she had found a party from the city. This party was reinforcements if needed.
