Eowyn's POV. Lilian colapsed to the ground. Ghosts were killing the rest of the orcs and Mumakil. I wondered where they came from. I knelt beside Lilian.
"Lilian." I said. She was breathing, but it was ragged. Blood was coming through her shirt. I went over to Theoden.
"I know your face. Eowyn. Lilian. Is she alright?" Eowyn asked.
"She is badly injured and lives." I said. Theoden smiled as I felt tears in my eyes.
"My eyes darken." Theoden said. I stroke his head gently.
"No. No. I am going to save you." I said.
"You already did. Eowyn, my body is broken. You have to let me go. I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company. I shall not now feel ashamed." He draws a labored breath. "Eowyn..." Theoden took his last breath. I bow my head and cry. I lost my parents and now my uncle. I prayed that Eomer survived and prayed to Valar that Lilian would survive her wounds.
Third Person POV. Gandalf and Pippin come out on the battle and look to see The army of the dead stands before Aragorn, who had arrived with Legolas and Gimli with the Army of the dead.
"Realse us." The King said. Gimli stood nervously near Aragorn.
"Bad idea. Very handy in a tight spot, these lads, despite the fact they're dead." Gimli said.
"You gave us your word." The King said in a growl. Aragorn looked at the King of the Dead.
"I hold your oath fullfiled. Go be at peace." Aragorn said. The King closes his eyes in relief and the dead shimmer and then disappear into thin air. Soldiers walk around the battle field to see if anyone was alive. Eomer was looking for Lilian and Theoden, having not seen them among the walking.
"Where are you, Lilian?" Eomer asked. They had been seperated while fighting. Eowyn looked up when she heard movement and saw Eomer not far away as she was trying to figure out how to get Lilian to get help.
"Eomer!" Eowyn called. Eomer looked in the direction. He was shocked to see Eowyn there dressed as a man. His eyes widen as he see Lilian laying on the ground beside her.
"NO!" He yell as h run towards Lilian, throwing down my helmet and sword as he neared. Theoden was near as well. He was dead. Aragorn and Gimli turn to see Eomer fall to the ground and gather Lilian in his arms. "No. NO. Don't leave me." Eomer was in tears and Eowyn was crying. Gimli's eyes widen.
"No. Lilian." Gimli said, running towards them
"She took on the Witch King to save Uncle and got hurt in the process. I'm sorry, brother. She's alive, but barely. I think she is holding on." Eowyn said. Eomer cradles Lilian close as he cries.
Later that night. Eomer's POV. Lilian was put a cot to carry her to the Healing rooms. Gimli came over. We follow the healers to the quarters. She is set down. I sit on one side and Gimli and Eowyn on her otehr.
"I hate to be the one to break the news to her father she is dead." Gimli said, looking at Lilian as her breaths are ragged and slow.
"Don't say that. She is alive." Eowyn said. I touch her hand. It was warm.
"I hate to loose her. And she just found me." I said. Gimli watched me as I looked at Lilian.
"You love her don't you." Gimli said. I looked at him.
"I do." I said.
"I suspected. You'll have uncles and her father to get approval from. I know her mother would like you. She likes anyone. Fili is gonna have my hide for this." Gimli grumbled, earning a chuckle from Eowyn and I shook my head.
"I'll do what I have to to get approval. We were gonna start courting after this war. Seeing her injured and hurt got me scared." I said. I heard someone coming and looked up to see Aragorn hurry up the steps. Legolas stood watching as Aragorn looked over Lilian, taking her arm. He rung out a rag and put it over her forehead. He whispers something to heal her wounds. I sigh in relief as her breathing became normal and she opened her eyes.
"Thank you." Gimli said. Aragorn nodded.
"Eomer." Her voice whispered. I looked at her and her head was turned my way and she was sleeping. The healers moved her to a room and we went with to stay with her til she woke up fully.
Lilian's POV.
"Lilian." Grandfather's voice came. I opened my eyes in the halls of Valar.
"Grandpa." I said. He appeared in front of me.
"You did well my dear. You defeated the Witch King. Your parents will be proud and you found your one." Aule said, with a smile.
"I have. Will I be alright after this fight?" I ask.
"Aragorn helped you heal. You'll be fine. I would bring your mother here to talk, but war is raging back home. She told me to inform you not to worry about them and focus on the task on hand. Your battle is still not over." Aule said. I hugged him.
"Thank you Grandfather." I said. He smiled and I open my eyes back in Gondor. It was nightfall. Gimli, Eomer, and Eowyn were all at my side. Gimli was smoking his pipe. I groan. Eomer looked up.
"Lilian?" Eomer asked.
"Hi handsome." I said. Eomer chuckled and I saw Gimli roll his eyes.
"You had us worried lass. Don't do that again. I don't want to break the news to your father." Gimli said.
"I don't plan to die anytime soon, Master Dwarf." I grumble. Eomer hugs me and Eowyn Joins the hug.
"Glad your alright." Eowyn said. Eomer tilted my face up to his and captured my lips with his, making me melt into the kiss.
"Get a room you two." Gimli grumbled. Eomer and I pull apart and press foreheads together.
"Can he be anymore annoying?" Eomer whispered.
"Typical dwarves." I said. Gimli grumled. We weren't done with this. The Ring still needed to be destroyed.
AN: SHe's alright. No worries. Didn't plan to kill her off. Till next time
