Entry Seven

Hello again. It's been ages since I last wrote to you, months I think. Longer than I thought it would be. I am really sorry about that. Honest. But I can keep my promise; I've got lots of amazing things to tell you.

I'm not sure how long it took, but we went to a place called Rohan. Have you heard of it? Lady Eowyn's brother is King here, and a lot of people seem to like him. And I got to meet him! Ha, Lily! He seemed nice, but he was kind of scary too. Not like Strider.

The big, tall horses scared me too. From a long way away they look really pretty and nice. But when you are standing next to them and they are so tall, they don't seem so nice anymore. I'm scared that one might squash me by accident, but everyone kept on telling me they won't and that they're nice really. One of the men who looks after some of them even said that some were smarter than people! I bet they're smarter than Lily.

We stayed there a week, I think. Then we started off again, and it took us ages to reach Minas Tirith. I didn't know what it was going to be like and I remember feeling so excited the night that Da said would be the last we would sleeping outdoors.

When we got there and went through the gates into the city I just stared with my mouth until Da touched my chin and I closed it again. There were so many people! And they were all so tall, even most of the children were taller than me. I've felt so small, not even when I've stood next to Mama at parties.

The people who were there knew who Strider was right away, and even who Da was after a little while. It was all right, but all the noise hurt my ears. When Da saw me with my hands over them he smiled, chuckled and patted my head. I'm not quite sure what that meant. He was either laughing at me, or her knew how much the noise hurt.

We kept on going up and up through the city. There were these doors you have to go through to get to the next level. Weird, but the people there seemed to know what it was all about, and Da said he would explain why it was like that later sometime. I don't mind if he does or not, it would probably be very boring if he did explain it.

Strider steered the cart to a stable right near the top of the city, where Da said all of the important people live in the city. I guess that we are important too. I like that idea.

But after that Strider said he had to leave because he had things to do. That's what Da said anyway. And he is King, so he must have lots of important things to do.

Just then, I remember yawning. Not one of those little ones, but one of those big ones that last for ages that you get when you're really, really tired but haven't realised it yet. Yeah, one of those yawns.

Da took my hand, and walked me into one of the big stone buildings, which had guards with fancy helmets standing at the doors. They nodded at Da as he walked past, and he sort of puffed his chest out, somehow managing not to look silly as he did it. He took me through loads and loads of really long corridors until we a part of the building that had loads of doors along the corridor. He opened one of the doors. The sixth one on the left, I think. Inside was a huge bedroom, with big windows, a big comfy looking bed and a small desk with a chair behind it. Someone had already brought our things to the room, and I remember wondering how Da knew which room to go to.

"You get to sleep in here, Elanor," Da said. "'I'll be sleeping in the one opposite, so just come and find me if you want something."

My own room! Again! Yay! I took another look around. It was really sunny, and there were these filmy curtains over the windows that blew backwards and forwards on the breeze that was coming through the windows. The air smelt funny, but in a nice way.

I ran over to the bed and climbed up onto it. I bounced a few times until I saw Da frowning. Then I laid down, which made me feel really tired. I closed my eyes.

"Strider said that we can have breakfast with him and Lady Arwen, tomorrow." He said as he put the covers over me.

I smiled. I was going to see her at last! Then I snuggled up further. The bed was warm and comfy, but not as comfy as the ones in Rivendell.

I'll tell you what happens next later, bye-bye!
