Covren.
"That is something that I cannot tell you." I said. 'I want to tell you so badly.' I
thought.
"Why not." He demanded.
"Because he cannot leave Endoras. Or all of Rohan for that matter." 'Or is it that I
cannot leave you?'
"I urge you to reconsider." He said. 'Not even if it meant I would die.'
"I will not." I said simply. 'Please stop torturing me.' I saw that he was about to say
something else.
"Please excuse me My lord." I said and quickly left the room. I searched for a quiet
corner to gather my thoughts. What had he been doing? Why did he want me gone
so badly? Did his new lady friend not want me around? Well to bad for her. I thought.
She would have to deal with me. She had nothing to worry about. I would do nothing
to turn Eomer from her. i just simply could not leave the man that I loved.
"Covren." Feramir said. I turned startled again.
"Feramir." i said bowing." Is there something that I can help you with?" He smiled
and shook his head.
"I was just wondering what you were doing walking around so involved in your
thoughts." I smiled shyly and looked away.
"Thinking of someone." I told him. He smiled knowingly and put his hands behind his
back.
"Ahh." He said."A special some one."I blushed.
"And may I inquire who it may be? "He asked. I groaned.
"Why is evryone so interested in who I love." I said though clenched teeth. Feramir
gave me a sorryfull look. I felt regret fill me.
"Please forgive me Fermair." I said putting a hand n his arm." I did not mean to be
rude." He smiled.
"That's allright." He said good-naturedly. "And anyway i came to find you Eowyn
would like to speak with you." I nodded.
"Thank you." I said then I turned down the hall and walked to Eowyn and Fermair's
room.
"You wished to speak to me?" i said entering Eowyns room. SHe looked up at me
and smiled. I noticed that she was wearing strange looking clothes.
"I remembered something you said to me on the day that we first met." She said.
SHe stood. I gasped. She was wearing mens clothing. "You said that you were
training with the men." I nodded but hadn't taken my eyes off of Eowyns weird
clothing.
"Well I would like to try my sword skill against yours." She said. I smiled.
"I would like that very much." I said. "Let me go and get dressed then I will meet you
in the courtyard."
"Hurry." She said.
"I will." I said as I ran out of the room like a giddy child.
Eomer
Feramir and I stood in the babies room talking when I heard the sound of swords
clanging.
"What is that? " I asked Feramir. We stared at each other for a moment concentraing
then we ran to the window. Feramir reached it first.
"Wow." He said." I didn't know that Covren fought so well. Or Eowyn for that matter
and hey, I'm married to her." I looked over his shoulder at the courtyard and gasped.
Covren and Eowyn were fighting with swords.
"Damn it." I hissed and ran from the room.
I ran outside and saw that a crowd had gathered around them. And I was stuck
outside that circle.
"Move aside." I yelled. A line appeared through the crowd and i got through. Upon
hearing my yell Eowyn and Covren had stopped fighting. I stomped over to them.
"What were you thinking?" I yelled. "Don't you remember the last you fought?" I
directed this at the both of them. They looked at each other confused for a moment
then they turned back to me.
"What?" Eowyn asked. I turned to her.
"You almost died the last time that you fought." I turned to Covren. "And you were
hurt badly when you last fought. Not to mention something else I could mention."
She blushed.
"Eomer." Eowyn said. I turned back to her." Calm down." I stared at her shocked.
"Are we not grown enough to make our own decisions?" She asked me. "You can't
tell us what to do anymore then we can tell you what to do?" Covren stiffled a giggle.
I turned on her.
"What?" i shouted. She smiled at me.
"Would you like to watch?" She asked. I looked at her shocked. I had just scolded
them for fighting and she had just asked me if I wanted to watch. My hesitation must
have meant yes to her for they started to fight again. I backed away and let them. I
watched them with anger written on my face and my arms crossed yet in my mind all
I saw was Covren and every move she made. She moved with a grace that I had once
been disgusted with because I thought she was a boy. Every move she made was
fluid and thought out. I remembered the fight that I had interupted to chide her for
fighting like a girl. Now I would have her fight no other way.
"It's like their doing a dance." I snapped out of my daze and lookd up to find Feramir
beside me.
"It's beautifull." Another man said before placing his bet on who would win. Silently
inmy mind I urged on Covren.
"Come Eowyn." Feramir shouted. "You can do it." I looked at him. He smirked at me.
"What?" He asked inoccently. "A man cannot cheer on his wife?" I laughed and
nodded and turned back to the fighting. Covren giggled.
"Come on Eowyn." She said tauntingly." Can you not beat a simple girl. You who
killed the Nazgul King." Eowyn cried out and lunged at her.
" And what about you 'boy." Eowyn said back. They threw insults back at each other
till they couldn't fight anymore because they laughed so hard. Covren dropped her
sword and fell to her knees and clutched her stomach. Eowyn leaned over her sword
and took deep breaths between laughs. A collective groan went through the crowd.
No one had won that bet. Feramir walked over to Eowyn.
"You are the winner in my book." He said. That just sent the two into bigger fits of
laughter. Covren laid down on the ground and stretched out her arms. I walked over to
her.
"You will soak your clothes and hair in the snow." I said leaning over her. She smiled
and closed her eyes.
"COme and join me King." She said suddenly and reached up and grabbed me. The
next thing I knew I was laying on the ground.
"The cold feels good after such a strenuous workout." She said. Suddenly her eyes
popped open. "I can't believe I didn't think of it before." She shouted and jumped.
Every one stared after her as she ran to the outer edges of the crowd. She searched
the ground for a moment then she turned with a triumphant smile on her face.
"Come Eowyn." She shouted." Let us be snow fairies." Eowyn ran to where Covren
was. Feramir and I walked slowly after them. Covren and Eowyn threw themselves
onto the ground and began to wave their arms through the snow covering the ground.
Feramir and I looked at each other confused then back t the two on the ground.
Covren stood followed closely by Eowyn. They turned and surveyed their handy work.
I saw two impressions in the snow. ANd they looked strangely like fairies or angels. I
looked back up at Covren.
"Where did you learn to do that?" I asked. She smiled.
"When I was in Isumbred we had alot of sand. And hills." She said bending down and
tracing the outline of her angel with her hand to rid it of excess snow. " We would
make sand fairies. I don't know who thought of it first but it has been something that
all children have done in Isumbred for generations." her face grew solem. Eowyn put
an arm around her shoulders.
"Do not be sad Covren." She said. I stared at them confused. "They cannot be
harmed anymore." Covren smiled, and nodded.
"Your right." She said. She noticed my look." My family was killed when I was little."
I nodded in understanding.
"I am sorry." I said. She smiled at me and sent my heart to fluttering.
"Thank you." She said.
"That is something that I cannot tell you." I said. 'I want to tell you so badly.' I
thought.
"Why not." He demanded.
"Because he cannot leave Endoras. Or all of Rohan for that matter." 'Or is it that I
