Disclaimer: I own characters that are not out of LotR. ************************************************************************* Chapter 8: My heart will go on. ************************************************************************* Aragorn disappeared and returned shortly with Vala Calad. She bowed her head in a way of lament and bent down beside me.
"I am sorry for your loss. I am also sorry for things I have said to you." she said, putting her hand on my shoulder and giving a weak smile.
"No, your right, don't worry about it." I said between sniffles. "How did he get injured?"
"He was very courageous. I must take the blame. I was knocked to the ground with a heavy blow by one of the Uruk-hai, the females, which are much stronger than the males and are now to be used in battle, as the males were destroyed. The monster revealed this to me. As it was about to strike me, Hallis slew it from behind, but another stabbed his side. There was nothing I could do. I owe him my life." She said, in a soft tone. She was grateful her life had been saved, but was sorry for the loss it caused. Vala then stood and took stance beside Aragorn, who had his head bowed.
"He would do the same for any. I know he would." I said, holding my beloved's cold hand. At that moment Eomer appeared and stopped in his tracks.
"I am sorry Blythe. A funeral will be held as soon as this mess is taken care of. He will now become one of the Eorlingas, and be buried as one. May all know of his good deeds, and courageous heart. He is a credit to Rohan." Eomer said, smiling at me, hoping this would make things better, and it sort of did.
************************************************************************* A week later, Hallis's funeral was held. I was adorned in a black dress and cape. It was beautiful. Many others had lost their lives on the front line, including captains. All the Eorlingas had a special departure. Their coffins were carried under an arch of the swords of their comrades. Women threw flowers, and many mourned. I wasn't ready to let go.
I know we had hardly gone out, but my feelings for him had grown so quickly. Maybe I wasn't in love? Maybe I just said it to make him happy and ended up convincing myself that it was real? I shall never know. He was taken from me, and I will never know the truth.
*************************************************************************
A few days later, Aragorn announced that we would leave for Imladris the next day, and that Eomer, Vala and a few men of Rohan were to come with us.
Since Hallis's passing, Vala and I had moved from enemies, to a mutual respect and to friends. It helped to have someone other than Aragorn and Thea to speak to about such problems. She told me that she is An exiled Noldorian though she would not reveal why. I understood. Sort of. I mean, I wouldn't wanna tell someone that I was chucked out of my country for killing my parents. Not that she did that. Or did she? (A/N: Levanna, why was she exiled?)
*************************************************************************
The next morning, ripe and early I was awoken by a servant by the name of Hiragana. She was really lovely and looked after me when I broke my hand, which now is fine! Thank you my inner elf quick healing gene! She had packed my stuff for me and prepared a light breakfast, which I gratefully ate in a flash.
I met Thea and Vala in the stables who were saddling up their horses. I took note and did the same to Astaldo. He neighed gleefully, and nodded his head, excited to be going again. He really enjoyed the long journeys.
We took our horses out of the stable and waited for the rest of the crew o join us. But we didn't have to wait long. Aragorn and Eomer were talking rapidly about something in a foreign tongue. I guessed it was Rohhirrium, as by the accent in the words that reflected their westron speech. I just mounted Astaldo and waited to move out.
Apparently the two kings were discussing the fact that Eomer's sister Eowyn was pregnant for the third time to her husband Faramir, lord of Ithildin. Eomer was very excited about it, but I knew he wished to wed. He had courted no maiden which means if he never produces an heir, the line of Rohirrium Kings would again change.
We left a little while later for Rivendell, a 2 month journey.
*************************************************************************
About a week into the trip, wolves were heard in the distance as we travelled close to the gap of Rohan. My ears perked up when I first heard them and Astaldo freaked out. He reared up, and I clung for dear life. He gently put his front legs on the ground again, and after reassuring Thea I was fine, we continued on.
************************************************************************* It had been a few days more when the head of the group had stopped, causing the rest of the line to come to a halt. I rode up with Vala to see what the problem was. In front of us was an elf with Auburn hair, amber eyes and clad in a rangers outfit. She was speaking to Aragorn and Legolas in her native tongue.
"What's going on Vala, I don't know most of what they're saying." I asked my now close friend.
"She claims to be the princess of Laiquendi and going by the name of Linnende." She replied, intrigued by the conversation going on. I think she doubted the stranger, but then again, it was her way, and I have to say, I trusted her. "The Laiquendi I was told as a child," Vala continued, "were nothing but a myth. They were the elves that went into hiding when the dark lord rose. She must be lying."
"Don't be so hasety, we'll see what Aragorn decides and go from there, he's our leader." I said, looking at the elf, who smiled at me. She had finished talking to Aragorn, who had let her stay with us until we got to Rivendell.
************************************************************************* So we had another companion, Linnende. She was really nice, and Vala had started to warm up to her. We were still unsure about the whole hiding elf thing, but as she hardley knew anything about the world today, we noticed that there is a possiblility she was telling the truth.
I sat upon Astaldo, humming to Whisper by Evanescence. It was one of my favourites back home and in a way gave me hope.
"What is that beautiful song you are humming to Milady?" Linnende asked me, ridding up beside me from behind.
"Oh, its nothing. Just a song I know." I replied.
"Would you care to sing it to us all?" she asked.
"To tell you the truth, not really. I'm not much of a singer, never have been really. I don't care for it."
"But all elves can sing, and you are an elf, so will you not sing for me?"
"Ok. But don't laugh at me."
"Agreed." She replied nodding her head. 'Catch me as I fall say you're here and its all over now speaking to the atmosphere no one's here and I fall into myself This truth drives me Into madness I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away If I will it all away
Don't turn away Don't try to hide Don't close your eyes Don't turn out the light
I'm frightened by what I see But somehow I know That there is more to come Immoblilized By my fear And soon to be Blinded by tears I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away If I will it all away
Don't turn away Don't try to hide Don't close your eyes Don't turn out the light
Fallen angels at my feet Whispered voices at my ear Death before my eyes Lying next to me I fear She becons me Shall I give in Upon my end Now I give in Foresaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end
Don't turn away Don't try to hide Don't close your eyes Don't turn out the light Don't turn away Don't try to hide Don't close your eyes Don't turn out the light'
As I finished the song, I looked around. Everyone had stopped behind me in awe and I had ridden ahead a good 50m. "Ok, we can keep going now!" I shouted to everyone. They pulled themselves together and continued on. I gave them the weirdest looks for the rest of that day.
************************************************************************* That night I stared at the stars. My Hallis was gone and he wasn't coming back, and what made the problem worse was, I felt like I was dying inside, because I couldn't physically die.
************************************************************************* A/n: Well tahnk you to all my reviewers.
Chickie d: Welcome to the Purple sky family! : ) tell me what you think of Linnende and everything. Oh, and about the spelling thing, coz I'm an Aussie, my computer is set to Aussie spelling, and some words are spelt differently here then in the states. Rock on!
Levanna: On the road again. looks like we're heading out on the road again. Ehum.. Don't mind me there. Vala is so becoming Blythe bestest buddy! I don't think I can get WordPerfect doc's so just send it to my email thru my bio. I think that'd work. I really wanna read your story!!!!!!! I sounds mad! I'm going to get Vala to tell bly why she was exiled later in the story and thank you for giving me an idea to expand on!
Entwife and The Noble Platypus: We shall be seeing you around soon so keep and eye out!
Finally, thank you all for the reviews and I'm glad you like the story. I just can't believe I've had 12 reveiws! I've never had that many before! Coolness!
