Gimli strolled into the main hall of Helm's Deep, Legolas right behind him.

"Well," Gimli started, "where is he?"

As if on cue, the ranger walked through the door. His brown hair, wet, from the night's rain, was still sticking to his face. "My friends, we have been asked to carry out a duty." Aragorn's eyes looked at Legolas in sadness.

"Aragorn, what is the matter? For a duty from the king of Rohan doesn't seem to be a bad thing." Legolas said, as he turned to face Strider.

Aragorn shifted his weight from foot to foot. "This task will take more than I would want. It is pointless. We would not make it to the battle at Minas Tirith."

Gimli was starting to get annoyed, for a trip was not exactly what he had in mind. "What do we have to do?"

Aragorn stretched his arms and gave a big sigh. "We have to deliver a letter."

Legolas glanced at Gimli, and returned to look at Aragorn. "A letter? A LETTER?! We are going to miss the final battle for a piece of paper? Do you think this is more important than the heir of Isildur to return to Gondor?"

"Legolas..."

Legolas paced back and forth, his golden hair swaying as if it were caught in wind. "Why must we send this letter? The battle for Helm's Deep is over."

"Legolas," Aragorn started. "We must send this letter to call for reinforcements for the final battle, even if we don't make it back in time"

"Aragorn, there is no one left in Mirkwood. All have fled to Valinor."

Aragorn froze. He stared at Legolas in disbelief. "What are you talking about Legolas? I know that the Rivendell elves had left for the sea, but would your father leave without giving even some help to us?"

Hearing him mention his father, Legolas quickly turned to face the door, and started to walk away.

"Now wait just a minute elf, you mean there is no one to call for our aid?" Gimli said

Legolas gazed back at Gimli before replying. Aragorn saw the odd look in his eyes.

"Well," Legolas began. "There might only be a few left, a dozen or so, so my father can be.protected."

Gimli turned to Aragorn. "That's not enough to go gallivanting on some trip. I'm going to go give King Théoden a piece of my mind." And with that, Legolas and Gimli walked out of the main hall.

Aragorn rubbed his forehead. 'Valar, please don't have them make fools of their selves.' He quickly turned around at the sound of foot steps. It was the one, the only, king of Rohan. (A/N: I always wanted to write that.to bad he::gets mouth clapped by Lex:: Lex- Don't tell them what happens!! Me-Ook o.o)

"King Theoden-"Aragorn began.

King Theoden put up his hand to stop the air of Gondor. "Do not fright, Aragorn, for this new information has put a lot of thought in my head. Tell Gimli and Legolas to get ready. Lets go to Isengard."

Little did Aragorn know, Theoden had a small talk with Gandalf too, and he found out, Aragorn has a destiny to fulfill.

Bwahahahahahahaha Everyone who has seen The Return of the King knows what I am talking about. And everyone who hasn't will find out!

Aragorn:

Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-
metta.

Pippin's song in Steward of Gondor:

Home is behind
The world ahead

And there are many paths to tread

Through shadow
To the edge of night

Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow

Cloud and shade

Away shall fade

Away shall fade
