"Lord Aragorn! They are breaking through the water gate! Come
quick, Lord Aragorn!"
This, Aragorn was not expecting.
Quick as he could, he ran towards the water gate, hoping to not be too late. It was there he saw the plot of the Uruk-hai's plan; why they had sent orcs as distractions, why they sent so many to try and break the door. He knew now, what they had planned. Though, he may be too late.
* * * * * * * * * * *
The Uruk-hai, clever as they were, had been building a pyramid of explosives at the water gate. Helm's Deep had defended its people so many times before. How then did they find out about the water gate: Helm's Deep's one weakness.
* * * * * * * * * * *
King Theoden stood in the depth of the fortress, watching his plan go to failure. Yet, he too pondered how did the Uruk-hai know?
"They had attacked surrounding villages and our's to now, but none ever came upon Helm's Deep. None." Theoden stood for a minute, trying to answer his own question when the yell of Gimli was heard.
"King Theoden! Aragorn has sent message to you: Get the woman, children, and the wounded into the paths of the Glittering Caves! It will take them into the mountains! Hurry! The Uruk-hai hav-"
"I know. But the battle is not over yet. We still can fight! My men are still strong and so is Lord Aragorn and his companions, are they not?" Theoden asked, slightly challenging Aragorn's orders.
Gimli mumbled under his breath, but realized he did not have the time to argue. Any minute, the explosives would destroy the water gate; letting in all Uruk-hai and orcs to slay all. Gimli yelled Aragorn's order again, and sprinted towards the water gate to hold and slay any creature of Mordor that come through.
"Grima!" Theoden shouted, finally coming upon the answer. "Grimi was a slave for Sauruman! He knew all of Helm's Deep when poisoning my mind. Then it is.....my fault." King Theoden said regretfully.
* * * * * * * * * * *
The pyramid of explosives against the water gate was completed. The last component needed was the suicidal Uruk-hai to set it off.
"Legolas!" Aragorn commanded, seeking the elf.
Legolas sprang forward, black blood covering his side and left arm.
"We need the bow of Galadriel!" he yelled.
Legolas reached back quickly, grabbing one of the last elvish arrows he had now from his quiver. At that moment, the suicidal Uruk-hai sprinted forward towards the explosives with all its strength. It saw Legolas aiming and pushed even harder. Legolas's hand let go the arrow in the air, heading for the throat of the Uruk-hai with the fire in its hands. However, the Uruk-hai made it first. A horrific explosion was witnessed by every living thing at Helm's Deep. The body of the suicidal Uruk-hai was thrown in every direction as well as the metal from the water gate. The pathway of the water gate to the depths of Helm's Deep was now clear.
* * * * * * * * * * *
Inside the fortress, water poured in; as did the Uruk-hai. Innocent men fighting for their king were slew by either the Uruk-hai or the water. Hollers from the men were heard in every direction. The war cries of the Uruk-hai were stronger than ever now. All hope was lost.
Aragorn made his way back into Helm's Deep; he would fight until the end, until his end. These were his people, and his people he would defend. Though, faith began to slide out him quickly. Aragorn stood, now covered in mud and the Uruk-hai's dark blood, with now no hope at all. The light of the new day was rising. Aragorn lifted his head to meet its gaze.
* * * * * * * * * * *
"On the lighting of the fifth day, look for towards the East." Gandalf said as he mounted his horse to go on an errand.
* * * * * * * * * * *
"The fifth day..towards the East." Aragorn said, drifting off in his thoughts. He sprang towards the window to look out to the East. He had come.
