Flight To The Ford

[It is dark and windy by the time Aragorn and the Hobbits has managed to find a place to rest there wounded companion Natalya. who was stabbed by a Morgal Blade saving Frodo's life. she shivers and groans as the pain comes in waves. huddling in her black cloak she sees Sam's face come into her view.]

''Look Lady Natalya. it's the Trolls that Bilbo told us about the one's you guys fought to get away from them. says Sam

''Yes...Bilbo had to get us out of a sticky situation using false words. [she gasps for breath. her eyes turns heavy. Frodo feels her forehead.] ''please...don't worry about me you guys. says Natalya

''She's going cold! says Frodo

[Strider stands between the trolls holding a torch aloft.]

''is she going to die? says Pippin

''she's passing into the shadow world. she'll soon become a wraith like them. says Strider

[Natalya gasps again. Screeches are heard through the woodland.]

''They're close! says Merry

''Sam![ Sam comes over to Strider] ''Do you know the Athelas plant? says Strider

''Athelas? says Sam

''Kingsfoil. says Strider

''Kingsfoil, aye, it's a weed! says Sam

''it may help slow the poison, Hurry! says Strider

[They run through the woodland, scanning the ground...Strider stops when he finds a low growing plant covered in white flowers. he takes out his knife to cut some. a Sword appears at Strider's throat.]

''What's this? A Ranger caught off his guard? says Arwen [He turns around to look at her. Natalya opens her eyes, seeing a vision of a white horse riding towards her with a maiden upon it, a bright light surrounding her. she dismounts and walks towards her and kneels beside her.] ''Natalya I'm Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto Beth nin, Tolo dan na galad. [I am Arwen. I have come to help you. hear my voice Daughter of Elves. come back to the light.]

[Natalya gasps. Sam, Pippin and Merry look on as Frodo is sitting next to Natalya]

''Who is she? says Merry

[Strider joins her. as Arwen mops Natalya's brow. Strider chews up some Athelas]

''Natalya! says Arwen

''She's an Elf! says Sam

''She's fighting the poison but I don't think she will last the fight for much longer. she is fading. [she pulls back Natalya's shirt to reveal the wound. Strider puts the chewed Athelas into the wound. Natalya gasps] ''She's not going to last. we must get her to my father. [Strider lifts Natalya up.] ''I've been looking for you for two days. Our people has been looking for her since the Fall of the Dragon. we fear that she is in danger. [Strider carries Natalya to Arwen's Horse] ''there are five wraiths behind you, where the other four are I do not know. says Arwen

[Placing Natalya on Arwen's horse] ''Dartho guin perian Rych le ad tolthathon. [stay with the Hobbits. I will send horses back for you.] says Strider

''Hon mabathon. Rochon ellint im. [I'm the faster Rider. I'll take her.] says Arwen

''Andelu I ven. [the road is dangerous] says Strider

''what are they saying? says Pippin

''Natalya Fir. Ae athradon i hir, tur gwaith nin beriatha hon. [Natalya's dying. Our people has been waiting for her to furfill a Propecy to become Princess of Elves and protect this world. If I can make it across the river, the power of my people will protect her.] says Arwen

[takes Arwen's hand and holds it tightly] ''Be iest lin. [as you wish.] ''says Strider

[Arwen mounts her horse behind Natalya who is still having trouble breathing.]

''Ride Hard. don't look back. says Strider

''Noro Lim. Asfaloth, Noro Lim! [Ride fast, Asfaloth, ride fast] says Arwen

[She rides off through the woods.]

''What're you doing? those wraiths are still out there. says Sam

[Strider looks on worried]

[Arwen rides through the fields and open plains. through woodlands. she notices through the trees a black rider. as she reaches a clearing he rides alongside her, and then is joined by another two, screeching. Five follow her closely behind now. as she dodges in and out of the trees she catches her face on a branch. in open ground, eight wraiths now follow her. Natalya looks sideways at the Wraiths as one reaches out his hand to her.]

''Noro Lim Asfaloth! [Ride faster Asfaloth] ''says Arwen

[Asfaloth pulls away from them, dodging in and out of the trees, jumping a log, they finally reach the river, Arwen rides across to the other side, whilst the nine Wraiths stand on the opposite shore facing her, their horses rearing in frustration. the wraiths screeching.]

''Give up the Elf Princess. she-Elf. says Wraith

[draws out her sword] ''If you want her. come and claim her. says Arwen [All Nine Wraiths draw their swords raised and gallop across the river towards her...Natalya groans as she looks up and sees them coming. she closes her eyes fighting as best as she could with the powers she feels inside her]

''Nin o Chithaeglir, lasto beth daer, Rimmo nin Bruinen, dan, in ulair [she closes her eyes] ''Nin o Chithaeglir, Lasto beth Daer, Rimmo Nin Bruinen, dan in ulair [Waters of the Misty Mountains, listen to the great word; flow waters of Loudwater against the Ringwraiths!] ''Says Natalya

[Arwen looks down at Natalya seeing she has risen up her arms to create a Huge Wave coming from upriver. the Wraiths horses become nervous and turn to flee. White Horses appear in the great wave and chases the wraiths, flooding them and taking them away. Natalya finally very weak sags against Arwen who stops smiling and grew concerned as Natalya falls against her]

''NO! Natalya! No! Natalya don't give in, not now. [Tears spring into her eyes as she hugs her] ''what grace has given me, let it pass to her. let her be spared. [Visions of Rivendell appear. Natalya appears sleeping in the visions.] ''Save her. says Arwen

[Face appears in the Vision] ''Lasto Beth nin. tolo dan na ngalad. [Hear my voice, Natalya Princess of Elves. come back to the light.] ''says Elrond.

[Rivendell]

[Waking in a dream, surrounded by White Light Natalya is laying in a very comfortable bed]

''Where am I? says Natalya

[Speaking tho not visible] ''You are in the house of Elrond [The white mist clears] ''and it's ten o'clock in the morning on October the 24th if you want to know. says Gandalf

[surprised] ''Gandalf! says Natalya

[is sitting beside the bed that Natalya is lying in, smoking his pipe] ''Yes, I'm here [draws on his pipe] ''And you're lucky to be here too. a few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid [he shakes his head] ''You had me very worried my child. but you still have strength in you [he smiles] ''My dear Natalya. says Gandalf

[Natalya sits up and looks at her wound seeing it needed more healing and she places her hand on it.]

''What happened Gandalf? [Gandalf looks at her quizzically] ''why didn't you meet us? says Natalya

[looking into the distance] ''Oh I'm sorry Natalya [He sighs] ''I was delayed. says Gandalf

[Gandalf shows her the vision in his head where he is thrown to the ground on the roof top of Isengard. Saruman walks up to him, pointing his staff at him]

''The Friendship of Sauron is not lightly thrown aside. [Saruman uses his staff to throw Gandalf across the rooftop, and leave him lying in midair off the edge of the roof] ''One ill turn deserves another [walking over to Gandalf] ''it is over. [Gandalf sees a moth fly past his face] ''Embrace the power of the ring, or embrace your own destruction. says Saruman [he lifts his staff and throws Gandalf face first back onto the roof top]

''There is only one Lord Of The Ring. [he looks up at Saruman] ''Only one who can bend it to his will. [he sees the moth fly behind Saruman, followed by an Eagle] ''And he does not share power. says Gandalf [he scrambles to his feet and jumps from the Roof top]

[Saruman walks to the edge of the roof to see Gandalf on the back of the Eagle flying off]

''so you have chosen death. says Saruman

[The Eagle flies off over the Misty Mountains as dawn rises]

[Back in Rivendell Natalya is still looking quizzically at Gandalf]

''Gandalf? what is it? says Natalya

[wakes from his daydream memory] ''Hmm [he shakes his head and speaks unconvincingly] ''Nothing Natalya. says Gandalf

[Natalya sighs as she hears her name being called and she looks over at the doorway where Frodo and Sam came running in and takes her hand] Lady! Natalya. says Sam

''Hi Frodo, Sam. says Natalya

''[smiling] ''it seems you have made some admires Natalya. Sam and Frodo has hardly left your side. says Gandalf

[sitting on the bed] ''we were that worried about you, weren't we Mr Gandalf? says Sam

''What you did, saving me. It was my fault I shouldn't have tried to put on the ring. it should have been me to get hurt says Frodo

''No...Frodo...No never say that. It was my duty to help and save you Frodo. please don't be Guilty I would have done it again in a heart beat. says Natalya

''Thank you. says Frodo

''Our Natalya is a very brave and gifted Girl and has been through many dangers then this she will pull through. by the Skills of Lord Elrond. [he turns his head as Elrond enters the room] ''You're beginning to mend. says Gandalf

''Welcome back to Rivendell Natalya. says Elrond

[Natalya smiles at him ]
