I have now been in the castle for three days and my health has improved
dramatically. I am now able to walk without pain. I had decided to return
home today. I had avoided the king as many times as I could. But I didn't
have much luck. I did talk to him though and I apologised for the 'accident
in my room' he said he was just glad to see I was fine. He was very down to
earth and very nice and caring but he was also very young. He didn't seem
much older than myself.
I was saying my farewells when my father arrived. Finally there was only Eowyn left. "Eowyn thank very much for showing me much kindness and care. You have been a great friend to me and I do not know how to repay you." I said gratefully. She looked at me and smiled.
"No Fatima how can I thank you. It can sometimes get very lonely here in the castle. I'm glad you were here to keep me company. Please you are more than welcome here so please do visit." She offered.
"Yes, hopefully I shall, but I extend the same offer to you. Please do visit me whenever you feel like talking. I would be more than happy to accept you and keep you company." I said. I smiled back to her.
Finally left the castle and when my father and I arrived home my mother was very glad to see me. She rushed over to me and swept me into a hug. "Fatima I'm so happy to see you. But please don't you ever do anything like that again." She said to me like a little child.
"No mother I won't. Lets just say I'm no longer scared of healers." I looked at my father and he just winked at me with a smile on his face. I smiled back to him. My mother just looked at us both with suspicion. I saw Erowan and she just looked at me at first then approached me.
"You know you could have stayed there longer." She said a bit sadly. Erowan had always dreamed of entering any castle. She was overjoyed when she found out I was staying at King Eomer's castle. I just looked at her and smiled.
"Yes Erowan I'm glad to be home to." I said sarcastically. I then went to my room to unpack my bag. When I entered my room I put my bag on my bed and opened it. I took out all my belongings and started packing them. Then Erowan came into my room. She sat on my bed and just looked at me.
"So, did you meet Erowan's husband?" She asked. She seemed really excited but I had no idea why. I just looked at her with a puzzled face.
"No I didn't. I don't think he was there at all though. But I don't understand why you are so excited." I said.
"He is from Gondor you know, and people say he is very handsome." She said as if dreaming. I just looked at her.
"Well even if he was it wouldn't really make a difference since he is married." I said and bit annoyed.
"Well did you meet the king?" She asked. She then looked at me again. She must have seen my face going red. "So you did see him. What was he like?" She asked.
"Well, lets just say he is very nice. He is a lot younger than I thought he would be and he is very handsome. You would probably like him." I said smiling at her. She had the biggest smile I had seen on her face.
"Oh could you imagine me marrying a king and living in his castle with him. That would be, oh I don't know how to describe it. Me queen of Rohan." She was very pleased with this idea. She stood up and started walking around elegantly. She must have been dreaming about what it would be like to be queen. I just laughed at her.
"Yes I can just imagine it. My sister the queen. I could get use to this plan." I said sarcastically. She just looked at me angrily. She began to walk out and then turned her head towards me when she reached the door.
"Don't laugh I think it could happen. But I just have to meet him. I'm sure I would fall in love with him instantly.' She said as if she was twenty million miles away. I just continued to laugh as I unpacked the rest of my belongings.
