Prologue
"I'm so sorry" the young man whispered to no one. He was out of breathe for he had run for just under thirty minutes dodging the arrows that were being shot at him. The person shooting them had finally retreated and stopped shooting. Aragorn who was only about fifteen took this time to rest. "I'm sorry" he said again, the tears still dripping from his sweaty face. "I didn't mean to, it was an accident". He was scared for he knew that he had to go home and tell Elrond what had happened. He knew he shouldn't prolong it, so still crying he picked up his bow and made for home. The only home he had ever known. Rivendell.

"He will be sorry, I promise that to you father". "Very well, Thartel, he better" the old man said to his now only son. Vegan was a cruel man who had no pity. "I swear it to you by my life, that his will be taken". "Good, or my wrath will be taken out on you" he yelled at his son while grabbing Thartel's head by his hair so their faces were only inches apart. "I promise father" he said, his hazel eyes looking into the brown that belonged to his father.
Thartel then went outside his house and looked to the ground causing his brown hair to fall from his shoulders. "I promise the same thing to you" he whispered into the breeze. " I will not be at peace until I have had his blood on my hands".
