Keep the reviews coming in. Hope you like the story so far.
Summary: Arwen has ridden into Anorien, finding Faramir, she told him of the ill news, then set back off to Rohan.
"We should stay and fight!" said Aragorn to king Theoden. "I will not risk open war on my people!"
"Open was is upon you like it or not." Eowyn sat nearby, she admired Aragorn greatly, not many risked arguing with her uncle.
"Tell me Aragorn son of Arathorn," said Theoden "Who is king of Rohan around here?" This silenced him.
"We must leave for Helms Deep, on the morrow," he said. And so the city gathered food, belongings, and horses.
The next day they set out on the long journey towards Helms Deep.
"Tell me," said Eowyn to Aragorn "Where is the woman who gave you that pendant?"
Aragorn walked on, deep in thought, where was Arwen now? It was a dangerous road to Minas Tirith.
Eowyn looked at Aragorn for an answer, but it did not come. She new better than to press him, and walked on in silence.
Some time into the journey, Legolas said "Something draws near, I can feel it."
"Quickly," said Theoden "Eowyn lead the women and children on." "I can fight," she protested.
Aragorn admired her bravery, she was a true shield made. "Eowyn please do it for me," said her Uncle.
Reluctantly she led the women and children forth to Helms Deep. They turned to meet their new enemy.
Large wolf like creatures, from Isengard, each was ridden by an Orc. "Wargs!" shouted Legolas. "Attack!" yelled Theoden, and they went into battle.
Aragorn who stabbed one of the Orcs, had his hand trapped in the Wargs bridle. He fought violently to get it out, but as misfortune would have it, the Warg stumbled off the cliff, into the river, and Aragorn went with it.
The battle had ended, Rohan came out victorious. "Where is Aragorn?" asked Gimli, looking around him.
An Orc lay near by, barely alive but laughing, it was holding Aragorns pendant. Legolas snatched it from him. "Where is he!" he yelled in anger at it.
The Orc still laughing said "He fell," pointing over the cliff. They ran to the edge nothing, grieving they looked around.
Legolas took his anger out on the Orc, but to no use, it was already dead.
"We must go," said Theoden at last, the company rode on to Helms Deep in silence, hearts full of sorrow.
