Queen Arwen: hee hee me glad you liked the fight, I was reluctant to put it in there, but so many people asked for it so, o well. No more sharp sticks please!!!!
Terreis: not sure whether they will fight again, I haven't thought that far into the story

An hour later Faramir knocked on the door to Aragorn's chambers. "Aragorn?" he said, peeking his head through the doorway. He saw the future king sitting by his window again, looking out into the rain.
Faramir sighed and shook his head. Walking towards him he said, "Aragorn, you are going to get soaked sitting by the window. At least pull the chair away a little."
Aragorn stood from the seat and let out a heavy breath. Turning to Faramir he said, "I suppose you came to tell me that the coronation will not be delayed just because Arwen is not here."
Faramir slowly nodded his head, "They wouldn't hear of it. They said that Gondor had been without a king long enough, they are not going to wait any longer."
Aragorn could not blame the others for being that way. Their prayers had been answered when he had agreed to take the throne. It was understandable that they did not want any delays, for what if something were to happen to him? Aragorn only wished that his own prayers could be answered and he could have Arwen here to comfort him right now.
Faramir eyed the forming bruise on Aragorn's jaw. "Galmod?" he asked.
Aragorn nodded in reply, "For an old man he had a strong left hook."
Faramir laughed lightly, "He isn't that old, but he sure follows the old way." He took a few steps back and looked at Aragorn in his ceremonial garb. Approving that every crease was straightened and every lose thread was out of site he looked up to his friend and said, "Aragorn, are you ready?"
He took a deep breath. The coronation was to start as soon as the noon bell rang, which was only a few minutes away. He turned and looked out the window one last time, seeing no sign of Arwen through the rain he sighed sadly. His eyes were full of hurt, all he wanted was for her to be there. Turning back to Faramir, he opened his mouth to speak but he was cut off as a servant came rushing into the room.
She bowed quickly and said, "My lords. Princess Eowyn-" she breathed heavily, " and the Lady Maranwe- they're gone!"
Faramir and Aragorn's eyes widened, "What do you mean, gone?" Faramir questioned firmly.
"No one can find them my lords. We've been searching for them for the past hour to help them get ready for the coronation, but they haven't been seen since they brought the Lord Galmod to his room!"
Aragorn shook his head. First Arwen was not here and now Maranwe and Eowyn were missing. He was not even king yet and he found it all too overwhelming. "Do you have any idea where they might be?"
The servant nodded slowly, "Their horses, my lord, are missing from the stables, that is all we know."
The fear on Faramir's face was evident, "Eowyn's arm is still in a sling, its still healing. And now she's out in-in that!" he exclaimed, gesturing to the storm raging outside.
"They went to go find Arwen." Aragorn spoke quickly.
"Why?" Faramir asked, exasperated, "There are guards all along the river looking for her. They are only endangering their life's!"
Aragorn quickly dismissed the servant and turned to Faramir, a huge smile on his face.
"What on Middle-Earth are you smiling about?" Faramir asked, appalled, "May I remind you that your beloved is out in this storm? And that my betrothed and Maranwe just went out to look for her? Are you out of your mind?"
"You don't get it, do you Faramir?"
Faramir shook his head in response.
"The others would not delay the council just because one guest is not here. Now that Maranwe and Eowyn are not here, they will have to delay it. They are part of the ceremony!" Aragorn spoke quickly. He grabbed Faramir's shoulders and said, "Eowyn and Maranwe are creating a diversion! Quickly Faramir, before they come back go and tell the others this news so they we can get a long a delay as possible."
Faramir nodded, still partially confused by all this. It all came at him so fast. He rushed from the room and headed to find the ones in charge.
Aragorn stood in his room and smiled, maybe there was some hope for Arwen getting here on time. He was so glad he had Maranwe and Eowyn to think up the crazy plans. If the two of them were here right now he might have kissed them he was so happy. But knowing the two women, they would have their swords at his throat in a moment's time.
'Thank you my friends, for giving us a little more time.' Aragorn spoke to himself.

Arwen stared at the raging river before her in shock. Her and Elladan would have quite the adventure trying to cross this. She prayed silently to the Valar for the strength they would need. She kicked her horse into a trot and rode up beside her brother, "Have any ideas?" she asked.
Elladan shook his head, "There are scouts on the other side, but they haven't spotted us yet." He cried over the harsh wind. He turned in his saddle, reached into the pack on his side, and pulled out a horn. Pressing it to his lips, he sounded the signal for 'friend' and 'help'. Within a few moments, the sound returned, signaling that they had been heard.
Arwen squinted in the pouring rain to see across the river, four scouts gathering to try and help them across. She could not tell what they were saying, but they were obviously having a hard time trying to spot them.
As she watched the scouts, something caught her eye in the fields behind them. "Elladan!" she called. "Two more horses are coming!" in her heart she wished it were Aragorn riding to get them but she knew that the ceremony had already started. It couldn't be Aragorn. As she continued to try and make out the two riders her heart froze. It wasn't Aragorn that rode towards them, but someone she wished to see just as badly.
"Elladan! It's Maranwe!"
TBC ohh were getting close, do you think shes gonna make it before the coronation starts?
