"Hush! Speak more softly! Look!" said Legolas pointing. "Down in the wood, back in the way that we have just come. It is he. Can you not see him, passing from tree to tree?"

"I see him now! Look, did I not warn you, there is the old man in dirty grey rags. That is why I couldn't see him before! Legolas shoot him before he places a curse on us all!" Gimli warned.

"We cannot shoot an unarmed man, even if it might be Saruman. That is against all that I stand for. I will not allow it." Tara said. So they waited, and waited until the old man came wobbling up upon the rocks.

"Well meet I say, well meet." The old beggar said.

"Saruman, what have you done with our friends, speak now wizard before I put a dint in your hat so large that even you couldn't fix it!" Gimli said as he lifted his axe.

"Mithrandir!" Legolas cried.

"Gandalf, you have come back from the shadows were you perished!" Aragorn spoke.

"Yes, that was my name once. Yes you may still call me that." He whispered the words at length. They settled down and began exchanging tales of what happened. When they came to Amiya and Tara he glared at them for a minute and then nodded to himself. Soon it was time to repay their promises to Eomer. But there was a problem, not one of the horses returned. Aragorn layed on the grass and started to listen to the ground, trying to be 'one' with it, Amiya and Gimli started to snicker.

"More than one horse is coming this way." Aragorn said, Amiya and Gimli stopped laughing and started to look annoyed. Aragorn smiled at the stupid dwarf and girl.

"Stupid ranger knows all, why the hell does everyone but us can become one with the earth, maybe their lower than dirt, stupid rangers." Gimli and Amiya talked under their breath, this caused Aragorn to smile in triumph.

But it was short lived as they found a hundred archers pointing towards his neck. Amiya smiled, Amoco finally decided to show himself. "Caption? It is glad to see you again, I'm glad you made it in one peace." As Amoco stepped forward he gave a sign to the archers to drop their bows.

"I am glad to be back with my own people, I'm glad Atticus make it through and delayed my massage." Amoco bowed his head.

"We received the message but Atticus was shot while on the ride, he made it to camp only to deliver it before passing."

"Have we received anymore casualties?"

"Yes, we lost six archers and your flag bearer, Acadia"

"We must go to Theoden's halls, battle and war have been made against his lands." Gandalf reminded her.

"Prepare the army and set off to the Golden Halls immediately, myself and my Lieutenant shall ride ahead with the grey company." Amiya said as she and Tara jumped on their horses and rode off, Gandalf rode ahead and Legolas, Gimli, Aragorn and the two Tenoshans rode together, they heard thunder as the Silver Army rode behind them at a swift pace.

Soon they came upon the gates of Edoras, after a long heated discussion the guards let them through, as long as the Silver Army stayed at the gated, which they did.

Upon seeing the doors the wardens bid them to lay aside their weapons that Aragorn sulked having to leave his 'precious' sword aside. It reminded Amiya about that ganged creature she heard in the Misty Mountains, Gollum was its name.
