In the hall of the Hornburg, Limwen was embraced first by Eowyn and Eomer.
"I cannot believe you fought alongside the elves without me." Eowyn exclaimed.
"You fought?" asked a surprised Eomer. Limwen nodded. "Hhmm, well that explains the battle garb and all the bruises." Limwen laughed. She noticed Gandalf standing behind them.
"Gandalf," Limwen said as she bowed low.
"Rise, Limwen of Gondor, for you have lost someone dear to you and still fought bravely." Limwen's eyes filled with tears. "You have accomplished so much." Gandalf opened his arms wide inviting her into an embrace which Limwen happily accepted. She felt calmed and at peace in his embrace and still felt that way afterwards like he had cleansed her of all negative thoughts and feelings.
"Let us ride together as we talk." proclaimed Gandalf.
They rode to the top of the ravine which gave on undisturbed view of the east, the evil land of Mordor. "Sauron's wraith will be terrible, his retribution swift." said Gandalf
Limwen looked towards Mordor and felt uneasy as she stared at the turbulent dark sky as lighting flashed across it. Limwen looked over at Legolas. He took her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"The battle for Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle Earth is about to begin. All of our hopes lie with two little hobbits." said Gandalf.
