Sadness of Life



Aragorn had fought. But he was not the only one. Soon orcs were filled where the rest of the fellowship had being resting. Legolas and Vebriclya quickly got their bows and arrows and started to shoot. Gimli were fighting with them.

"Run, Halflings! Hothien, you run as well. All of you must find the rest! Especially Frodo." Legolas ordered.

Sam ran to the shore. Merry, Pippin, and Hothien went in the near by bush to find Frodo. They spotted Frodo, hiding behind a tree. There were orcs near him.

"Frodo! Come and hide here!" Pippin whispered loudly.

Frodo shook his head. Then Merry noticed something that the other two didn't.

"He… He's going to Mordor alone… He's leaving us!" Merry said.

"No… No!" Pippin ran.

Hothien tried to stop him, but it was too late. The orcs had noticed them.

"Frodo is more important than us. We can be the bait!" Hothien ordered.

"Hey, stupid orcs! Come and catch us!"

Before they ran, they winked at Frodo, and dashed the opposite way. That was the last time Frodo had seen Hothien, for an unfortunate event were about to occur.

They ran, and came to a bridge. They all drew out a sword. Merry and Pippin stood back a bit. Hothien fought as hard as she could. The orcs fought and fought. Suddenly, Boromir jumped in front of her, and started to fight, too. He blew on his horn for help. The sound of the horn was heard everywhere.

Behind the orcs, Lurtz had spotted Boromir. He shot three arrows, and they all hit Boromir.

"No, Boromir!" Hothien cried.

Merry and Pippin looked at each other, and started to attack the orcs. Unfortunately, the orcs were to strong for them. They got picked up, and were carried away towards Isengard. They tried to grab Hothien as well, but she fought. Lurtz had stayed, and were to make the final shot on Boromir. Hothien hugged him tight. But before Lurtz got to make his shot, Aragorn jumped in. He killed Lurtz, and dashed over to Boromir and Hothien.

"Boromir…" Aragorn was shocked.

"If he had not jumped in to rescue us, then he would have stayed." Hothien cried.

"Aragorn… Hothien… I tried to take the ring from Frodo." Boromir choked, "I have failed. Perhaps… I wasn't supposed to be in the fellowship…"

"That is not true, my brother," Aragorn said, "You have conquered."

"Would you… would you save my people?"

"I will." Aragorn swore to his oath.

"Hothien… I had always loved you…" Boromir turned to Hothien.

"I know you have… and I have loved you too." Hothien said gently.

"I thought…. You would not…" Boromir choked again.

"I know, Boromir. But I have loved you in my heart all the time. Forgive me. I will be always with you."

"Hothien…" Boromir said.

"Boromir, my love, I am going to follow you." She cried.

"No… you must live…" Boromir said his last words, and had fallen.

Tears came down Hothien's cheek. She drew Boromir's dagger.

"Are you crazy?" Aragorn shouted, "Did you not hear Boromir's will?"

"I will tell you now, before I die," Hothien said, "Merry and Pippin were taken to Isengard. Please rescue them before Saruman sacrifices them." Then she paused and said,

"I must go with him…" Hothien said, "Forgive me, Aragorn. Please lead the others."

At that point, she stabbed herself with the dagger in her heart.

"Aragorn… I will not forget this fellowship… for this is… my best friends…" Then she died.

"Rest in peace, Boromir and Hothien."
