Chapter 10-The Ultimate Sacrifice
Arwen stood alone in the hall, pacing back and forth. She was wondering just what was happening with Aragorn and Kelunis. Many different visions flowed into her head, which put her into a state of disgust. She decided that she would have to find him before she went insane from insecurity.
Arwen found Aragorn outside a room, standing as still as a statue and appearing to guard the entrance to something. She waved her hand in front of his face, and still got no response from him.
"Yoo-hoo, Aragorn, anyone in there?" Arwen joked, thinking Aragorn was playing games with her. "I'm serious, Strider...give me some sign of life, please!" Still no response came from the Dunedain. Arwen became very concerned that Aragorn wasn't moving, until Aragorn hit her straight across the face, knocking her out.
"Good, my puppy," Kelunis hugged him from behind and nuzzled him like a pony. "You are working well, my slave. Now, tie her up and leave me and Henderson to the questioning."
Arwen woke up bound to a chair. She started to think that being bound was not so bad, considering she wasn't bound to a bed with an old man looking down at her.
"Well, well, my princess. You finally woke up!" Kelunis laughed at Arwen's face when Arwen saw that her own personal service had betrayed her.
Arwen's face turned red with anger when Henderson and Aragorn followed Kelunis into the room.
"Very soon, Lady Arwen, we shall be ruling this palace together. You will no longer be worrying about your brother's taking your father's place, and you will be able to marry Aragorn without forsaking immortality. Not only this, but you two shall be able to rule forever!" Henderson exclaimed.
"What's the catch? There has to be some sort of catch," Arwen said, seeming somewhat intrigued.
"Well...of course we will be ruling for you...and both of you will be under a spell so we won't have to worry about your defiance," Kelunis explained. "Oh yes...Aragorn hit you...he was under a spell I placed on him...after we kissed."
"I won't believe that he kissed you again. The only way he would have kissed you would be if he were under this spell. Since I believe the fact that he is under the spell now, when I get free and kick you out of this palace with your pal Henderson, stripped of all powers, I will make sure the spell is reversed."
Kelunis heard a knock at the door and Henderson rolled his eyes and answered it. A dozen elves all armed with a bow and arrows were standing outside, pointing the arrows at Henderson.
"Let the princess go, or we shall send a dozen arrows into both you and your lady-friend's chest," Legolas said, grinning at Arwen.
"Thank you, Legolas," Arwen mouthed.
Kelunis and Henderson never freed Arwen and they accepted the arrows. Both were protected against poisons as well as the arrowheads on the arrows. They simply pricked them and fell off, harmlessly.
Henderson untied Arwen and held a knife to her throat.
"Don't move or she dies!" Henderson yelled, which stopped the fighting.
Aragorn's spell had worn off when he saw Arwen in a life or death situation. He reacted very quickly and pulled the knife away from Henderson, while Kelunis had thrown one of the arrows at his chest. His face went white and his eyes went wide as blood flowed down his chest. A few more arrows pierced his heart, and soon enough he was far from healing.
"No...Aragorn!" Arwen screamed, and ran to his dying body, tears of sorrow falling onto his wounds.
Aragorn smiled up to her and said, "Well...even though I didn't get a long time with you again, Sara, I will never forget living this second life with you."
Arwen cried as Aragorn's body went limp. "Chris!" She cried out and took the knife and was about to stab herself, when the elves stopped her.
"No, princess, we can save Aragorn and Arwen with spell craft, but only if you stay alive! You must help us by restoring the original elf and Dunedain. Then, you will be allowed to live the rest of your immortal life in Heaven," Legolas said.
So, Arwen and Legolas went to the healing chambers, where Arwen lit candles around Aragorn's body and hers. Before speaking the words of the incantation, she blew a kiss to Legolas. "I shall never forget you, elf!" She finished the spell by chanting and found herself surrounded by a white light flying far above Middle Earth.
