Arwen woke with Aragorn still nestled by her side. Legolas and the company were around a fire that was already gone out. The dwarf was sill sleeping at any rate.

"Legolas, what time is it?" she said softly stretching. Aragorn stirred and did the same.

"It is, around 9:00 Mirkwood time I presume." Legolas said softly.

She nodded and both Aragorn and Arwen got to their feet. They looked about them. The day was cold and gray. They looked to the long journey ahead of them, though it was only until sunset they would reach Isengard.

Gandalf looked concentrated along with King Theoden. They sat on a rock beside one another silently. Éomer was cooking some rabbits in a fire and Legolas had berries in his hand that he was bringing it his soft fair lips.

" 'Tis like I have woken into a dream, waking to the fair face of my love Arwen." Aragorn sighed kissing her forehead. She smiled and looked around again.

"Is there no place to bathe? She asked Aragorn. He shook his head.

"No where to be found Arwen. Perhaps when we reach Isengard." He sighed.

After they ate, they mounted horses, Gimli now riding with Éomer. They rode on into the gray plains. It started to drizzle and, if it could be told, the sun was fading above the clouds to dusk.

They saw in a great distance a tower, around it were holes of water deeply engraved into the ground, with smoke rising from it. There was almost great lake running through and over the space encaged surrounding the tower. The tower had jagged points sticking out everywhere and it took the form Sarumon's wicked staff, with four points at the very tip, now covered by cloud and shadow.

"Sarumon." Gandalf whispered.

They ran forth through the thick and tall rocky gates of Isengard. The first thing they came upon was two hobbits, which looked like older men but only coming to be 3 ½ feet tall and both having brown hair and brown eyes. Then they came upon an Ent, a great man standing tall and broad about 17 feet, showing the likeliness of a giant tree. His name was Tree beard, thought up by the leaves and twigs farming around his mouth and neck to make a beard. The Hobbits introduced themselves as Merry and Pippin, all had met before. Though the hobitts have never come to know King theoden and Éomer, so they introduced themselves and told the tale of how Saruman's tower was being broken down by the Ents.

"When the Ents found the trees burnt to the ground by Sarumon, they wagged out a war on the Orthanc (the Tower). They threw rocks at it and released the river to spill in the holes of fire, in which Sarumon made his minions." Pippin pointed to one of the deep holes then to the rock crevice from the mountains, it looked like there was a river running through at one time. Gandalf nodded and thanked Pippin for his tale.

"You can all rest now, there is no more threat at the present moment. Go and rest." Gandalf told them. "The king, Éomer, and I will be heading through the swallow lake to Orthanc. We will speak with Sarumon, you need not accompany us."

"There is food, and water here the orcs did not touch." Merry said.

"Yes and some fine weed!" Pippni stated. Gimli's eyes lit up.

"You tell me you've been sitting your butts here while we've been to battle at helms deep smoking! I out ring your little necks if I wasn't in such a mood for food and drink!" Gimli yelled. Legolas and Aragorn laughed. Arwen tugged at Aragorn.

"Do you know of a place to clean ourselves Pippin?" Arwen asked. Pippin nodded. Though merry was the one that volunteered to lead them.







Aragorn was led by Merry to a small river to the back of Isengard in a far corner where it was barley seen. Then Merry left to help Pippin to find the weed, Gimli was upset and needed a smoke.

Arwen looked into the pond, it was clear, save for the clouded sky. Surrounding it were trees of think brown bark and leaves of gold and red. She took off her clothes and jumped in.

Aragorn blushed lightly as she did this, though it did not help once she got into the water because it was clear. It showed her body and figure glowing beneath it. Aragorn took his clothes off and slowly glided in.

Arwen swam to him near the bank just were she could stand waist high out of the water. She hugged Aragorn tightly, and he gasped at the feel of her naked form against his body. He backed away, and Arwen looked almost hurt.

"Aragorn, what is the matter? She questioned him coming closer.

"Arwen, you do not know the affect you have on me. Your body is so fair and soft. If I am with you another second longer like this, my mind will lose control to my body." He sighed.

"Then let it." Arwen whispered, and she smiled. She came again to him and pulled close to him in a kiss. He pulled away once more and shook his head.

"Arwen..." he started.

"Aragorn, I love you. If I did not want this to happen, I would not be suggest it." She whispered again.

"Arwen, not like this." He sighed. He went back on the bank and picked up his clothes.

She ran up to him and pulled him back into the water. They laughed as she splashed him. He started to chase her around the water's edge until he caught her in a kiss and held her tight to him. They laid down there, on the bank of soft sand. She was beneath him and they kissed passionately.

She twisted her fingers in his wet hair, he kissed her, from her chest to her wiast, and she gasped each time. He loved her body, the more he saw and touched of it, the more he wanted to do what was on his mind. She looked up into his eyes as if knowing his thoughts.

"Aragorn, please, make love to me. I cannot wait any longer. I love you to much for you to tease me like this."

He nodded and pushed himself unto her and started moving. She gasped and sighed as he moved deeper. She kissed him repeatedly and caressed the back of his neck. The sun was about to rise when Aragorn collapsed to the side of her, his boy either wet from the water, or from sweat. She sighed kissed him then ran to get her dress. She went behind a tree and came out moments later, hair still damp but clothed.

He sighed and did the same before they returned to the front, in which Gimli and Legolas were still smoking.







"And were have you two been?" Gimli asked, raising a brow. Legolas laughed when he saw Aragorn's face light up, Gimli laughed as well. Merry and pippin stood there, they did not know what was going on. Aragorn returned to the matter at hand.

"What of Gandalf?" he asked.

"We do not know. He was been calling out Sarumon this hole time." Legolas said, turning to the direction of Gandalf, the king, and Éomer standing by the towers great door of stone.

As if at call, they turned away from the tower and walked to their site. Gandalf said no words as him and Theoden sat down once more. Éomer sat by Legolas and looked at the lady Arwen.

"Well, he is trapped in there, but he will not come out." Gandalf cried. "Though he thinks he has still won! Can you imagine that?"

They laughed and looked to the tower. The shadow grew deeper. It sent chills down both elves spine. Arwen clang to Aragorn, and the sun came up to noon. They sighed as they looked back to the stash of food.

"Anything in their for Elves." Arwen asked.

"Well, we have berries!" Pippin said happily. He handed them over to her and she ate them with delight. They were bright red and were very delicious, tasting almost of raspberries mixed with the sweetness of strawberries and chocolate. She nodded and smiled in approval.

"We should return to Edoras. I have asked the Ents to keep a good watch on things here, for they cannot be harmed by the magic of Sarumon or the dark lord. We will rest a while then travel back over the plains and to the mighty kingdom." Gandalf said.





After resting for about an hour, they mounted their horses and started riding again for a couple leagues before they tired and the sun was set. They dismounted and fell into sleep almost as their heads lay upon the ground.
