AN: me not sure how to write my own creative coronation scene, so I am using a lot of stuff from the book and movie coronation scene, sorry....

Arwen pet her tired mares' neck, she whispered gently in her ear, "Thank you for taking me so far my friend, only a little further and you can rest. I promise you."

Eowyn galloped beside Arwen and smiled, "Well I can see we have one thing in common for sure." She spoke to the elf near her. When Arwen faced her she added, "A deep love for horses."

Arwen gave the blonde woman a soft smile; "Yes Nadorhuan has been with me for a long time. It is a shame I have run her so hard these past few days."

"Nadorhuan?" Eowyn spoke, having difficulty with the elvish syllables.

Arwen nodded, "It means 'cowardly dog'." She spoke with a laugh, "When I first got her when I was very young she was so scared to have a saddle on her back that she would run away." Arwen patted Nadorhuan on the shoulder and said, "I called her that in frustration, and since then she never accepted any other name." With a shrug she said, "It just stuck, I think she's fond of it; even though she might not know the meaning."

Eowyn laughed out loud at the story and smiled, "Well your horse is very beautiful, despite her odd name." As if Nadorhuan understood her, she shook her head up and down in thanks.

After a few minutes of just riding Eowyn noticed how anxious Arwen was. She would let go of the reins every few moments to wipe her palms on her breeches and she bit her lower lip impatiently. Deciding to lighten the mood she said, "You are excited to see him. It's obvious so that even a blind man could tell."

Arwen felt herself blush, "I know. It is just—it has been so long. My entire body screams to be held by him right now. It's—it's torturous!" she spat out.

Eowyn smiled in an understanding manner. "I can assure you he feels the same way. Maranwe and I have heard plenty on how much he has missed you. He loves you deeply, everyone in the kingdom knows it."

"Minas Tirith knows?"

Eowyn nodded, "Yes, its obvious how much he loves you." She then turned to Arwen and said, "But I feel that I must give you fair warning; the people of the city have—-expectations about you. And a variety of them." She paused for a moment thinking of all the terrible things she had heard about their future queen from the mouths of the people of Gondor. "I do not believe that they know you are an elf. Aragorn told all who knew not to say anything, for your protection."

Arwen nodded knowingly, "I feared for that. However, it is not be deepest worry right now."

Eowyn cocked her head, "And what is my Lady?"

"Not getting there in time to see the crown placed on my Aragorn's head." Arwen then breathed a sigh of relief as her horse ran through the gate to Minas Tirith. They had finally made it to the White City.

She and the rest of the company slowed their horses to a walk as Maranwe took the lead when the guards branched off to their stables; placed conveniently within the first circle if they were needed for battle.

"Arwen! Elladan!" Maranwe called, "Follow me, the bell just sounded; the coronation has just begun."

"Where is it?" Arwen asked looking around the huge capital of Gondor. Eowyn pointed up. As Arwen turned in the direction of her new friends' finger, she gasped. The White City was breathtaking—and taller than anything she had ever seen. "All the way up there?" she squeaked.

Eowyn and Maranwe nodded. Elladan smiled at his sister and said, "It's been a long time since I have laid eyes on the White City. I like it here."

Maranwe scowled, "No more site-seeing Elladan! Arwen stop gaping and ride, we have to go all the way to the top. Hurry!

Arwen nodded and kicked Nadorhuan into a canter.
