Claire= Thanks for your review. No, time is not going by in Harry's time, because when Harry went back in time, nothing in his time had happened yet.

March 10

I'm at a place called Dunharrow. I've heard some of the men saying that we shouldn't be here, because it's right near someplace called the Dwimmorberg, or to put it more simply, the Paths of the Dead. I wonder why it's called that? I guess I'll find out sooner or later.

Speaking of the Paths of the Dead... Theoden said yesterday afternoon that Aragorn was going to go on it to reach where ever he wanted to go quicker. I wondered why, so I voiced my thought.

"Why would Aragorn use the Paths of the Dead?" I asked.

"Because it is the quickest way to wherever his destination is."

"Do you know what his destination is?" I asked, knowing what the answer was going to be.

Theoden sighed. "No, I do not," he said as Merry joined us.

"Harry?" Merry asked.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"Eowyn wants to see you."

"Eowyn?" I asked. Hey, I didn't know who she was.

"Eowyn is my niece." King Theoden said.

"Oh," I replied. Then I turned back to Merry. "What does she want to see me for?"

"She says that you need a sword and some armor."

"But I have my wand. Can't I just use that?"

"I suppose, but still, you should at least have a sword and armor, to protect yourself. Better be safe than sorry," said Merry.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right," I replied, getting up. "See you later."

When I got to where I was supposed to be, I saw who I thought must be Theoden's niece, Eowyn. She was very beautiful, with long, golden hair, and at the moment she was looking at the swords. I cleared my throat.

"Um..." was all I said.

Eowyn turned around. "Oh, hello," she said. "You must be Harry."

"Yeah, I am," I replied.

"I'm Eowyn."

"Hello, Eowyn," I said.

"Ok, I have a some armour ready for you. All I have to do now is get you a sword," she said, "First, however, you should probably try on the armor." Eowyn handed me the armor, which comprised of a mail shirt, with a chestplate (the chestplate was red), and it had and a metal helmit for my head, and there was something on it to protect my nose from getting broken, I guess.

Anyway, Eowyn showed me to a room where I could get the armor on (I put the mailshirt on over my clothes, and the cestplate on top of that). When I came back to where she was, I saw that she had a sword with her, and I noticed that it was the same one that the orcs had taken from me!

"How did you get that back?" I asked, astonished.

Eowyn looked confused. "What do mean?" she asked.

"That was the sword that Elrond gave to me, but it was taken from me when Merry, Pippin, and I were taken by the orcs!" She didn't look surprised, so I guessed that she had been told of the...er...events.

"Well," she said, smiling, "here it is." And she gave it to me, still in it's sheath.

"Thank you," I said.

"You're welcome, Harry," she replied. "Now, you should probably get going, because you're going to be leaving from here in just an hour."

"Where are you going to be?"

"I have to stay here." I noticed the resentful tone in her voice, but I pretended that I didn't notice it.

"Well, I hope to see you later," I said, and left to go find Merry and Theoden.


When I finally found them, I saw that they were in a kind of argument, of some sorts.

"My Lord, King Theoden," Merry was saying, "I must go with you and Harry into battle! You are like a father to me!" I then saw Merry kneel down in front of Theoden. Merry held out his sword to him, who took it, and Merry looked up at him and said, "I wish to be entered into your service. I will follow you to whatever end!"

Theoden smiled. "Then you will shall be entered into my service."

I walked up to them, just as King Theoden handed Merry's sword back to him.

"Is Merry going to the battle also?" I asked.

"Yes, he is," King Theoden replied.

"Oh," I said in response. "When are we going to be leaving?"

"Now," he said, and he brought out a horse for me, and a pony for Merry, and then I noticed that all of the Rohan soldiers had already gotten ready.

Merry and I got onto the horses, and Eomer came up to us, and started up a conversation with Theoden (his uncle), and then we were on out way to Minas Tirith, where the battle was going to be. But as we were leaving, I noticed a mysterious soldier, from Rohan, of course, join us at the back of the line. I decided to keep quiet about it.
