They woke and headed out, over the rough plains. Then Legolas and Arwen perked up their ears. Aragorn questioned them, but they were silent.
"Legolas..." Arwen said.
"I hear it." He looked deep over the plains towards the way they were heading.
"Wolves!" Arwen yelled. "Everyone get out your swords! Legolas! Join me and use your arrows!" She yelled. They charged forwards and almost immediately met the flow orcs riding on giant wolverine like beasts. Some carries swords., and other held bows.
Legolas shot forth arrows, Aragorn jumped his horse in front of Arwen. The king and Éomer started cutting heads off. Arwen took from her back A bow and arrows, she stood up next to Legolas and shot many orcs. One came up and jumped towards her. Aragorn took a spear from one dead orc and flung it towards the Wolf.
The wolf saw it coming and jumped out of the way. The orc on top shot and arrow that hit Aragorn's leg. He rode his horse still, running at the orc and cutting his head off. He then slashed at the wolf and stuck his sword in its neck.
"Aragorn!" Arwen cried. She notched another arrow and shot at an orc heading for him. She shot it several times before it and the wolf fell. A good 20 wolves were killed, and 5 more stood strong.
Legolas jumped from his horse and sung his sword at the wolves. He slashed ones nose as it jumped for him. Gimli, who fell from Éomer horse, cut the wolf's head from its body. Legolas nodded thanks and started to slash at another one. The king was dealing with an orc with his nephew. Arwen was shooting an arrow at another and Aragorn was dealing with his own. He thrust the sword up into the wolf's mouth then chopped the head from the orc. Gandalf chopped at one as well.
Arwen shot her wolf through the eyes and it fell atop its rider. Legolas drove his pair of swords into the wolves and orcs heart in the same instant. Arwen shot the king's orc and wolf pair, and Gandalf drew a small sword from his belt and chopped the head from the orc, then Legolas shot an arrow at the wolf between its eyes.
"Aragorn, my love, are you all right!" Arwen said as she ran to his side. The others soon came after to check on him.
Orcs were slain and the only hurt was Aragorn. He was quickly taken from his horse to the ground. Legolas took from a small bush some berries. He said in his land he had learned a special power of mixing berries with Lambas crumbs and putting it on wounds to heal them. He did this then bandaged it up. Arwen hugged him and kissed his forehead gently. Once Aragorn was reassured to stay among the living they ventured onto their horses again.
"Strong lad ye are my boy!" Gimli yelled from Éomer's horse. Aragorn smiled as he held his right shoulder in a wincing pain. Arwen rode beside him and checked him often t see how he was fairing.
The batter took over a couple hours of their time. The sun was not yet going down and they were at least half way to Edoras. They stopped to check on Aragorn's wound again and ended up staying the night. All slept but Gandalf and Legolas. They could be heard, talking late into the evening.
"What of the rings bearer, any word Gandalf?" Legolas asked quietly looking up at the stars overhead the plain. Gandalf was silent for a moment, thinking most likely. The wizard was not the easiest of persons to get words from. He was mostly quiet or talked in a sort of riddled manner. He then spoke after some time, still watching over the plain as if in his own thoughts.
"I have no word Legolas, though I know he is alive and he heart is still true of destroying the ring if that's the knowledge you seek. Though everyday the rings grows heavier on him, and the more it grows, the more he feels it useless to bring it to Mordor. Though now an unexpected company joins them."
"Friend or foe?" Legolas said now turning to Gandalf.
"I do not have that answer for you yet. Though he has not been a most kindly of fellows in the past, he might have changed."
"I don't know Gandalf, I find it hard for people to change these dark days, especially in the presence of the ring. Mean changing for the better of course. All has been ill since it was come to present. It has an effect, meaning, you know it's evil and you want to destroy it don't take me wrongly, you just come to notice how beautiful it is."
"Yes, I do. That is why I do not dare go near it. Frodo leaving was probably the best thing for him, for all of us." He sighed deep.
"But Gandalf, no there is no one to protect him, what if he is attacked."
"Sam, his bodyguard will protect him." Gandalf laughed.
Legolas smiled lightly. "Yes, good Sam. Very brave and noble that one is, though a bit out of it in his thoughts, but still a faithful friend in need. He will protect Frodo with his life, for that I can be sure. Thank you Gandalf, my heart is at ease."
"You are most welcome, though I must thank you. If it not for the elves, I think, this world would not live to see many things except shadow and darkness at this point. You and Arwen make this world glow with your power at this moment. Your heart keeps mine at ease." Gandalf now turned to Legolas and looked him in the eye.
"Thank you Gandalf." Legolas whispered.
"Yes well, what do you think of Lady Arwen? She is much an experienced fighter."
"Yes she has skill with a bow and sword, make no mistake." He smiled and laughed a bit. "Aragorn has grown stronger I think. He seems happier that she has joined us."
"Aren't you?"
"Yes, I feel like I am in great company, now that the stars are out and I have but one more elven friend to speak to if I need. She is most welcome by me. I wish her and Aragorn a very joyful future."
Gandalf nodded and laid down on the ground. He looked still at the star silently, thinking perhaps again. Legolas looked at him, so wise, so thoughtful, and yet, so undecided. He did not know what to think of Gandalf. He was not the Gandalf he had known, but much powerful and all knowing. Legolas felt safe with him bye his side and in his company.
"I think I will sleep now." Gandalf said finally closing his weary eyes.
"Alas, I am tired as well, good night Gandalf."
"Good night Legolas."
They slept the whole night, until the raising sun came up to greet them with welcome and warmth. It was a new day, Aragorn felt refreshed. Legolas and Gimli rode together while they talked with Éomer of things like Galadriel lady of the wood along with the king and Gandalf discussing the ring and Mordor.
Arwen remained to the back, silent along with Aragorn. They listened to the others conversations, laughing smiling or frowning on occasion. They came within seven leagues from Edoras, to an elf eye that is. They galloped the rest of the way there, the Rohan horses never seem to tier, along with the elven horse of Arwen.
Arwen was hesitant to come to Edoras, knowing Éwoyn might have traveled there whilst they were journeying to Isengard and back. Though she made no sign of it she kept herself behind the company well hidden.
Legolas looked at Edoras with weary eyes, he did not wish to return to the great house of stone and insipid surroundings of the inside castle. Gimli was fair with the idea, Gandalf made no judgment, but Éomer and Theoden welcomed it with eager anticipation.
They were greeted with welcome and Éomer saw his sister Éwoyn as soon as the horses were put away and all was led to the castle. Éwoyn had a bandage around her waist and did not move very far very fast. Arwen looked upon her with agitation and pity. Aragorn ran to her and asked what had happened.
"Lord Aragorn, I was only trying to protect myself when she attacked me!" She sobbed.
"Protecting yourself?" Arwen mimicked softly. She looked at Legolas with a shake of her head. Legolas met Arwen's eyes and saw that she spoke true and Éwoyn was false, though he did not address anything of it, he stood there in silence while Gimli rocked back and forth on his heels.
The king and Gandalf had not noticed Éwoyn, they went straight into the great halls while the rest of the company remained on a stone balcony overlooking the town and gray shadowed mountains in the far south.
Aragorn turned to Arwen with pity in his eyes, she met his look with anger. He did not see why Arwen was acting this way, Arwen had told him of an argument, never of a battle with swords involved.
"Arwen, Éwoyn has not the training you have." He pleaded with her. Éwoyn jumped up.
"She is not as skilled as I! I was... Distracted!" she said. Arwen had a small smile on her face as she turned back to Legolas who had a small grin across his lips as well.
Aragorn turned once more to Arwen with eyes of plea and she looked away.
"Arwen, will you not apologize." He asked softly. She turned to Éwoyn with no look of friend upon her face. She simply disliked everything about the women, she though she was sneaky, manipulative and most of all, untrustworthy.
"Well Arwen?" Éwoyn taunted. "We must be heading to dinner then bed soon."
"Aragorn loves me, you said otherwise, and I taught you a lesson, that was my going of the story. It was well deserved in my opinion." She said straight to the point.
Éwoyn growled at her and ran up the stairs to her room inside the castle. Aragorn shook his head lightly returning to Arwen's eyes.
"You are right Arwen, she is an unhappy maiden." He sighed as he led her into the main entrance hall and dinner was upon the table.
Legolas looked rather happy Arwen had defeated Éwoyn and Gimli was neutral. They all sat around the table save of course Éwoyn. Éomer had a poised look on his face to Aragorn and Arwen. He did not know why Aragorn hadn't chosen his sister. He did feel, however, that his sister was in love with a man that already had a maiden and she should be happy for him rather than steel him away from his love. In his eyes, Arwen was very lovely. He shook off his anger and ate.
The kings stood up with a few words of thanks and prayer to get through these dark times safely. Then he sat down and they ate.
After supper, Arwen and Aragorn retired to their rooms. Arwen had gotten a beautiful room. It was stone, of course, but it had a four-poster bed with silver lining, and she had more light in her room than in Aragorn's. They decided to share the room and they went to sleep. They talked of things such as the fight between Arwen and Éwoyn, Aragorn, though he thought it was wrong for her to hit Éwoyn, he was rather faltered by her Loyalty. After their chat, they feel into deep dreamless sleep.
