Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter , Lord of the Rings nor do I own His Dark Materials . I only own Rowena, which we already know from the prologue. The plot is mine! I hope! J

Author's Note: I know you realised, that Arwen and Aragorn are married. As I told you, they don't know Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gimli, Elrond, Éowyn, Théoden, etc, yet, because as I said, the Ring wasn't found at Bilbo Baggins yet. By the way, yesterday I downloaded the English versions of the Hobbit, Fellowship of the Ring, the Two Towers, and the Return of the King from Kazaa, so I still have to read those. The only things I know about the Lord of the Rings are from the first Slovene book and a half of the second Slovene book, and from all three movies. I hope I don't make mistakes, but if I do, please tell me. Also, I would like to have a beta-reader, if anyone wants the job, please send me an e-mail at inuyashalover@email.si. Thank you!

YEAR ONE:

~Chapter One~

The Letter from a Different World Arrives

10 Years and 11 Months Later

Rowena's laughing could be heard in the whole palace. Currently she was running from one place to another in hope to find her daddy and hiding from her big cousin Faramir, who desperately tried to catch the little girl. She opened the door to another chamber and saw her father looking out of the window with a sorrow look. He would get that look from time to time, but Rowena didn't know why. She ran to him and hid under his cloak, then climbed up to his waist. Aragorn looked down at her violet eyes and smiled softly.

'What did you do to Faramir today, Rowy?' he asked her suspiciously. Rowena just giggled and motioned him closer. He grabbed her by her waist and put her on his hip, meanwhile Rowena leaned her head to his ear and whispered,

'I gave him a horse tail while we were playing the Rider of Gondor.'

The Rider of Gondor was their favourite play and of course, Faramir was always the horse. Aragorn chuckled and quietly said,

'One day he'll get you back.'

Rowena stuck her tongue at him and Aragorn grinned. Suddenly the door started to open, Rowena put a hand on her mouth to stiffen her giggling, and Aragorn quickly put her down and behind his back. Faramir arrived puffing and tried to gather his breath. He asked,

'Have you seen the little Monster, who gave me this beautiful tail?'

Aragorn chuckled softly and Faramir pouted,

'Yeah, yeah, just laugh. One day you'll get a tail too.'

Aragorn just smiled, but said nothing. Faramir looked around him and said,

'I know she's here somewhere, because I saw her running down the corridor.'

Aragorn shook his head and said,

'She didn't come here. Must have run further.'

Faramir sighed and was just about to say something when an owl appeared in the thin air with a letter tied on its leg. Aragorn paled as he realized what the owl meant. He hoarsely said,

'Faramir, please go find Arwen. The owl. It brought Rowena's letter.'

Faramir stared at the owl for another second and then nodded at Aragorn. He walked out of the chamber and ran to find his friend's wife. Rowena came from behind her father's back and looked at the owl with big eyes.

'Daddy?' she gently asked. Aragorn blinked and looked down at her, then sighed.

'Do you remember the day you turned Boromir's hair pink?'

Rowena giggled quietly and nodded.

'Didn't you ever wonder how you did that?'

Rowena shrugged her shoulders and said,

'Yeah, I did. But I never got to ask you, because you were always such a meanie about it!'

Aragorn almost laughed. Almost. He sighed again and nodded,

'Yes, I was. I'll explain everything to you; we just wait until mommy arrives, okay?'

'Okay, daddy!' Rowena chirped. After a few moments she asked,

'Can I pet the owl, daddy?'

Aragorn shook his head and said,

'I wouldn't do that if I were you, honey, it might hurt you.'

Rowena pouted and sighed,

'Then how am I going to read the letter, if I can't touch the owl?'

Aragorn rolled his eyes and went over to the owl. He carefully untied the letter on the owl's leg and showed it to Rowena.

'There, I got it. Can you wait just a few minutes longer until your mother arrives?'

Rowena giggled again. She seemed to do that a lot. She sat on the floor and brought her knees to her chest. She stayed there for a few moments, then.

'Daddy, can I have an owl too?'

Aragorn really laughed this time. He crouched down to his daughter, ruffled her chocolate brown hair and said,

'Maybe. We'll see.'

Just then the doors to the chamber opened and Arwen strode inside, pale, but with a smile on her lips. She said,

'Faramir told me that Rowena's letter arrived.'

Aragorn nodded and replied,

'Yes, it did. I already took it from the owl and we were just waiting for you to come, so we can explain it to Rowy together. Here,

read it, Rowena. Then ask us any question you want.'

Rowena frowned a little, but complied. She took the letter from her father's grasp and read it aloud,
