p By Dragonfang33
p Disclamer: I've decided that this will be part one of a three part series of fanfics, that will eventually include Sailor Moon and one that I have yet to decide on, but till then here's chapter five of the Escaflowne fic.
Chapter Five: Fanalia, Middle-earth prepares
p Location: Fanalia, Gaea
p As the wagon approched the stone walls of the fortified city the people of Fanalia, rushed out screaming that Lord Van had returned.
p "Open the Gate," a soldier shouted, "the prince has returned." Slowly the huge wooden gate creaked open, and the cart entered. Once the cart had stopped Van leapt down, followed by Hitomi, and the Fellowship.
p The site before the nine friends was unbelieveable, most of the citizens of this new land were Human, but most seemed to be a crossbread between a Human and another animal,+ and not one Elf,or Dwarf seemed to be among them. Hitomi stayed close to Boromir, as a loud earpiercing scream echoed across the valley.
p "Lord Van," a female voice yelled, and a cat-like girl rushed forward, and grabbed onto Van. At first Legolas, and Frodo felt that she was attacking, and prepared to draw their blades, but Gandalf motioned for them to stay their hands.
p Suddenly the crowd parted,as four tall men,each clad in different styles of armor emerged. One, a large man with a series of scars across his face approached Van, once again the Fellowship reached for their weapons, and this time it was Van who motioned for them to stay their hands.
p "Well," the large man said, Van reached into his pocket and produced the large ruby.
p "I, Van Fanel, Prince of Fanalia, have completed the task of Dragon slaying."
p "It is true," the man said, as all four bowed, "we the Four Samuri of Fanalia sware our allengence to you Lord Van." This recent development produceed a set of blank stares from most of the Fellowship, except for Aragorn, and Hitomi.
p "He's a Prince?" Hitomi asked herself, then she eyed Aragorn, who had turned away from the festivities.
p "What's his problem," Hitomi asked Boromir.
p "Aragorn," Boromir replied, "he's got a destiny that he doesn't want." Instantly Hitomi felt Aragorns' inassurence of being crowned King of Gondor.
p "How sad," Hitomi said, "he's a Prince as well, yet because of the mistake of one of his ancestors he's feels that he can't take the throne." Overhearing this Aragorn lept at Hitomi, and grabbed her by the throat.
p "How did you know that," he shouted, "Spy of Sauron." This of corse didn't go over well with Boromir, who lept in front of Aragorn, and pushed him to the ground.
p "What's your problem," He shouted, by now Van and the others had taken notice of what was happening.
p "Nothing," Aragorn said, regaining his footing, "I apologize for my outbirst." As Aragorn turned to walk away Hitomi ran up to him, and slaped him in the face.
p "How can you turn your back on your kingdom?" She yelled
p "It's a position I never wanted," Aragorn replied, placing his hand over his cheek, "The blood of Isildor flows in my vains, the same weakness that he had I have." Suddenly one of the Samuri placed his hand upon Aragorn's shoulder.
p "Taking the throne of your land is something you must do Lord," he paused
p "Aragorn," Aragorn replied
p "Lord Aragorn," the warrior said, "I am Lord Balgas of Fanalia, and what you did was very unbecoming of a Prince."
p "I am no Prince," Aragorn replied, "I am a Ranger." Aragorn returned to the group in a humph.
p "You must excuse Aragorn, Lady Hitomi," Gandalf said, "He's been in better moods, but I am curious as to how you knew of Aragorns' clam to the throne of Gondor?"
p "Ever since I was little all of my guesses have been right." Hitomi said,"As if I've got some kind of special power."
p "I see," Gandalf said, "I've heard of people like that before in Middle-earth, they were known as Seeiers."
p "Enough talk," Balgas said, "leave us go to the castle and feast to celebrat Lord Van's return."
p Location: Rivendell, Middle-earth
p Elrond wept, as the body of Arwen was brought in. She had ridden from Rivendell early that week in search of Aragorn, only to be ambushed by the Orcs of the Misty Mountains. Suddenly an armored hand laied upon his shoulder, it was Haldir.
p "I feel your pain," Haldir said, "but we mustn't let her death go unpunished."
p "I know," Elrond replied, "But how, the Fellowship is lost and now my daugter has fallen."
p "Call a meeting of the Free Peoples," Haldir suggested, "allow us to form a search party to find the Fellowship."
p "No," Elrond said, "My vision of the loss of the Fellowship didn't mean they lost their way, they have vanished from the face of Middle-earth, and even now are cought up in an even greater war." He placed his hand upon that of his slain daugter, and weapt even harder.
p "Haldir," Elrond said, weeping, "build your army,and see to it that justice be done."
p "As you wish Lord," Haldir replied
p "Leave me, I wish to be alone." Elrond ordered. It was little more then a week later before represnatives from Rohan, Gondor, and the Lonely Mountain arrived at Rivendell. Once everyone was seated Elrond explaned that the Fellowship had been taken to a far off world, and that the Enemy had reclamed his Ring, and now three worlds were threated by Mordor's evil. The council lasted no more then a few hours before a decision was reached, Haldir of Rivendell, Faramir of Gondor, Eomir of Rohan, and Kazar II of the Lonely Mountain would lead an army of Elves, Dwarves, and Men to a hidden valley that laied in between Fangorn and Lothlorian, once their they would join up with Treebeard and his Ents and journey to a new world, where they hoped to aid the Fellowship against the forces of Isengar, Mordor, and Zabach.
p Well there's chapter five, i hope you enjoy, chapter six will go up after I get two more reviews, PS Please review my other fanfics.
