Aragorn-

Gandalf, Gimli, Legolas, Nienna, the protectors and I road to Rohan . At the doors of the castle we wear told to give our weapons in. Gimli reluctantly handed over his axe, Legolas handed over his bow, arrows and a long hunting knife, I handed over my sword and a few daggers. Then the guard asked for Gandalf's staff

"You wouldn't part an old man from his walking Stick?" He said.

Beside him Nienna looked at him and he nodded. She then handed over her bow, arrows, a sword, four daggers, two long hunting knives, three spear heads and one small hunting knife. Gimli looked at her in shock.

"Where was she hiding half of that?" He asked stunned and I heard Gandalf give a feint snicker.

"She carries many many weapons to protect her men but mostly she believes she owes her life to me." Gandalf told them.

"Why does she think that?" Legolas asked suddenly.

"That is a story for another time." Gandalf replied.

Nienna walked ahead of us. Kneeling on the floor in front of the king.

"Theoden King of Rohan."she said keeping her head down. In front of her Grima smiled.

"The courtesy of your hall has somewhat lessened of late, Theoden King!" Gandalf called.

The kings face was wrinkled and grey with age and his eyes looked hazy.

"Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow?" the King wheezed.

The dark-haired man hissed.

Grima Wormtongue was his name.

"A just question my liege," he said quietly to the King. "Late is the hour in which this conjuror chooses to appear. Lathspell I name him, ill news is an ill guest."

"Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth," Gandalf said. "I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crude words with a witless worm."

He pointed his staff at the greasy haired man's face.

"His staff! I told you to take the wizard's staff!" Grima cried.

The guards ran towards us but Nienna withdrew a hidden blade and pointed it in their direction

"Take a step further I dare you for it will be your last." She snarled.

"Theoden, son of Thengel!" Gandalf called. "Too long have you sat in the shadows. Harken to me!"

He raised his hand towards the King.

"I release you from this spell!"

the King let out a horrid laugh that filled the room.

"You have no power here, Gandalf the Gray!" the King snickered.

With those words, Gandalf threw off his gray cloak, revealing the white robes beneath it. A white light shone brightly from him, Theoden shrank back trying to hide from the blinding light.

"I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound," Gandalf said.

"If I go, Theoden will die," the King sneered.

"You could not kill me, you will not kill him!" Gandalf told him.

"Rohan is mine!" the King snarled.

Gandalf threw him down again

"Be gone!"

With a yell, Theoden lunged at Gandalf. The wizard hit him in the face with his staff, throwing the King into the base of his throne. Theoden slid to the ground moaning.

Suddenly the kings face regained colour and his eyes returned to normal, his hair turned back to normal and he looked around confused.

Theoden turned to face Gandalf.

"Gandalf?"

"Breathe the free air again, my friend," Gandalf said.

"Dark have been my dreams of late," Theoden murmured

"Your fingers would remember their strength better, if they grasped your sword," Gandalf said

Aragorn-

Grima approached Nienna,

"Lle nas vanima" he said, slowly walking around her. I had to hold Legolas back.

"Amin feuya ten' lle" she spat. Grima reached out and held her hair between his fingers

"such crude words from such a divine beauty." He said. It was getting harder to hold Legolas back. I noticed how Grima's eyes roamed her whole body and hovered over her chest. Legolas saw this and he struggled even harder. Nienna pulled out her long blade and held it to his throat slowly pressing it into his neck drawing a tiny drop of blood.

"I would cut your throat right here and now but I wouldn't want to dirty the floor." Nienna snarled.

After that the guards dragged Grima off to the dungeons.

"Make sure he is garded." Theoden said.

"Nienna will do it. She will not let him from her sight and if he tries to escape..." Gandalf said. Behind him Nienna made a motion with her blade. Theoden nodded.

"Very we'll." he said

Legolas-

all of us except Nienna gathered around the long table of the kings dining room.

"Gandalf I would very much like to know why Nienna thinks she owes you her life!" I demanded.

"Ahh." Gandalf said. "Well she thinks this because I rescued her from Saruman."

"You rescued her from the pits?" I asked.

"You know?" Gandalf asked his eyebrows raised.

"No but the other night I over heard her saying that He promised her no more darkness. No more time in the pits being touched by orcs and Uruk-hai. And that Saruman promised her she could be by his side when he and Sauron ruled over middle-earth." I said.

"Well Saruman did promise her to realise her from the breeding pits." Gandalf said a look of disgust on his face. Beside him Gimli chocked on his food.

"The breeding pits?!" He cried.

"What are the breeding pits?" Aragorn asked.

"They are horrid places were Orcs and Uruk-hai are produced. The woman captured from villages are taken here. I would rather not say what happened to Nienna in that place." Gandalf said sadly. I gripped the table in anger.

"Calm Legolas." Aragorn said.

"NO! FIRST NIENNA WAS RIPPED FROM ME AND I WAS FORBIDDEN TO SEARCH FOR HER! NOW I FIND OUT SHE WAS USED TO PRODUCE ORCS!" I yelled. "HOW DARE YOU TELLME TO CALM DOWN!"

I stormed out of the room.

"Leave him Aragorn the news is to much for him." Gandalf said
