On with the story...

Eowyn stood watching the remaining people fromt he battle walk about. Her eyes are roamed the throng of warriors, then as Aragorn stepped away from them her eyes stopped. Her heart ponded fast in her chest, then as He walked farther away from the group Legolas to imerged from the group. Legolas wore a look of uneasy distrust. ' I shall wait for now,' she thought ' for there is always tonight.'

" Aragorn you can not forget who is is coming here, we don't have time to hide her. Arwen shall strike her hard if she finds that you two have mutual feelings for eachother." said Legolas firmly " Not only that but the riders of Rohan say that their is more of Saruman's man are out among us."
" Legolas, I know you mean well, but i shall do this on my own. If you would take some men and go searching for Saruman's men then we only have a little left to deal with." he said as he started putting his weapons away. " For now we only have to make sure that Saruman does not strike again, Rohan is weak and if he does I fear that we shall not be so lucky."
A blonde elf came in and stood behind Legolas, he looked as if he was waiting to be noticed. " Legolas help our young friend here." said Aragorn as he went out of the room to finish with his weapons.
" Yes," said Legolas turning to see the face of the elf " You do not bring happy news?"
" No, I am to say that your sister has come to Rohan." the elf said testing his words as if he was going to be punished. " Maltauialwen has reached the gates and is awaiting your to welcome her."
Legolas seemed to think about it before he turned around and mummbled something. " Bring her here. I am not going back out there." Aragorn had reentered the room. " If you will acompny her here so that she does not get lost I woulld be greatful to you." The elf nodded and backed out of the room quickly
" What was that about?' asked Aragorn, curiosity was in his voice.
" My sister," he said once more answering slowly " has arrived in Rohan."

Amideil had been traveling for two days straight, her back ached and her body trembled no rest. She looked out over the clear open country, and she saw a throng of people roaming towards her. She swirved out of the way and steadied her horse. The people aproached fast, and she urged her horse on slowly intil they were face to face with them. " Riders to where are you riding to?" she asked
" We shall to tell you if you shall tell us." said the voice of a male.
" I am Amideil from Rivendell, I need no ttell you were I go."
" The the same shall I aply here, Amideil from Rivendell. We are the messengers of Gondor."
" Very well, let us hope our paths shall cross once again." she said keeping the sarcasim to a bare minimum. The man who had spoke gestured forth his men and they continued on their way. " I wish I shall not run into the likes of Gondor again" she said as she urged forth her horse faster " Noro lim" she spoke to her horse " Ride fast" she repeated.

Maltauilwen stood in the doorway of the room which in her brother stood. " Hello brother," she said " I am so very glad to see you again" Legolas looked at her doubtfully
" Why did you come here, you were told not to."
" I am sorry brother, I needed to talk to Haldir. Where is he" she said looking aroubnd the large room, " Surely he would be with you."
Legolas and Aragorn exchanged worried looks and then Aragorn looked into her eyes and she went alittle weak " Brother where is he?" she shrieked letting all the worry she had gathered from them out. " Where is Haldir, tell me now!"
" My lady" said Aragorn slowly and cautiously " he is no more..." he said sadly, and watched her confused face " He is dead." The elven woman seemed to take awhile to realize that what Aragorn was true. When it seemed to sink in that Haldir was dead she collapsed on the floor. Legolas and Aragorn ran to help her up.
In the doorway stood Eowyn, shocked that a woman much less one of elvish race could be so weak. ' Maybe' she thought ' They had somethig more then friendship' she would ask Aragorn later.

Amideil was sitting on a rock eating bread, her horse kneeled over on the ground eating crumbs fom her hand. A part of her life seemed to keep sprining back int her mind. *Flashblack*
A young Amideil stood with Elrond on a path, they both looked at the stars. " My lord, do you ever think that we can live in peace with men?" she asked. Elrond continued to look up at the sparkeling blue sky, sun had just set and the young maiden had asked for help so he had followed her to the path.
" It may be, for now though it is not certain. Why do you ask, Amideil such things should not concrn you?"
She looked at him as if trying to read his thought through his grey eyes, " My lord, I know that to wish for peace between them and us is foolish, but... haven't you ever wished it to happen so much that you feel it is true?" Elrond shook his head. " I guess not, the human Normir were does he come from?"
Elrond turned to look at her, he could see no plain curiosity in her voice but something more. " Listen to me Amideil, do not believe what your heart tells you. It is not meant to be, he is a human, mortal and weak. Do not give up everything you have for him, you can do so much more. Listen to me, I am serious. Love is a powerful thing but you have to let go." he said
" I know," she said a tear slipping down her cheek, " I know" as she began to cry Elrond took her into a friendly hug. * Flashback ends*
Amideil sighed as she curled up next to her horse and fell asleep.
