Fellowship arrive at Minas Tirith
Minas Tirith
The fellowship walk to the gates of the Minas Tirith to be greeted by the Prince of Dol Amroth Imrahil he was called by many for he was Faramirs uncle for his sister married Denethor the Steward of Gondor. Many people among the Gondorions new that Imrahil had Numenor blood in him because of his stature and the fact that he was kingly among men, Aragorn and him looked like brothers for Aragorn new this man well.
Imrahil: "Aragorn son of Arathorn what buisness brings you to Minas Tirith are you here to full fill your destiny to become king for dark times are upon us."
The company halted as Aragorn stood infront of them and embraced Imrahil like a brother Faramir smiled to his uncle for Imrahil loved his newphew dearly.
Aragorn: "We come of tidings in this dark hour we wish to have council with Denethor if you will permit us to?"
Imrahil nodded and led them into the city courtyard for there were many people gathered there women, children and many gaurds and knights of Gondor, the men saluted Faramir as he walked in for he was there Captain. Most of the people looked upon Aragorn and Imrahil in amazement for they had not seen such men in there lifetime, also many people in the city had not seen Dwarves or Elves but to there amazement no one in Minas Tirith had set there eyes on Hobbits before. Imrahil turned to the company as the gates close and his eyes were fixed on the Hobbits for he was baffled at them.
Imrahil: "They cannot be children can they Aragorn?"
Aragorn smiled at Imrahil and looked at the Hobbits.
Aragorn: "No indeed they are not they are Halflings small folk who age the same as men of Gondor but do not grow as tall"
Imrahil smiled and nodded to the Hobbits who in turn nodded back to the man. Imrahil then asked the men for horses.
Imrahil: "Aragorn only a select few may see Lord Denethor so you pick your company to come with me and Faramir to see the Steward"
Aragorn nodded and looked to the Fellowship who know stood in a circle.
Aragorn: "Ok only two of us can go up there to speak with Denethor"
Gimli jumped in and spoke in his firm Dwarvin charm.
Gimli: "Then it is you and I Aragorn w ho must go and see the Steward."
Aragorn: "No Gimli you will stay with the Halflings and Legolas, Frodo will come with me"
Frodo nodded as the rest of the Fellowship sat by the gay and were offered ale and food. Aragorn placed Frodo on his horse as they rode behind Faramir and Imrahil, as they rode through the levels of the city Frodo touched Aragorn on the side.
Frodo: "What are we going to do Aragorn?"
Aragorn rode at a pleasant pace and he spoke softly to Frodo not turning his head.
Aragorn: "I do not Frodo for we shall speak with Lord Denethor about this matter, for do not mention that I am Aragorn or Isildur heir for I wish not for this title of King yet. Imrahil lives in Dol Amroth but he and his Knights are here to aid Gondor so Denethor must have sent for help."
They know stopped as they reached the entrance to the hall of the king. Frodo was lifted off by Aragorn who walked side by side with Frodo. Faramir looked gloomy for he new his brother was fallen but could not accept it Imrahil walked next to him as they entered the hall. They four walked down toward Denethor who was siting at a table with Knights and commanders of Gondor. He lifted his head and looked for Boromir out of the company.
Denethor: "Were is my first born?"
Faramir didnt answer but Imrahil stepped forward for Denethor once loved Imrahil as a brother but didnt care for anything anymore.
Imrahil: "Boromir did not arrive with the company from Osgliath I am here to bring before you Stride a ranger from the north and a Halfling who wish to have council with you my lord."
Denethor looked confused for Boromir had taken the ring for he new about it, he then looked to Faramir who had his head bowed looking at the ground in thought. As Denethor was about to ask again Aragorn stepped forward with Frodo.
Aragorn: "Lord Denethor the enemy have taken Osgiliath there moving to strike Minis Tirith, Saruman the white has betrayed us and will no doubt strike Rohan. We have come here to warn you of this and ask for council."
Denethor interupted him and looked him up and down but kept his eyes on Frodo.
Denethor: "A ranger telling me what to do, how dare you ranger of the north. Be gone for I can defend my city without the help of a petty ranger"
Aragorn looked at the old man but withheld his anger.
Aragorn: "So be it"
Aragorn turned with Frodo as they left the hall Imrahil bowed and followed them as Faramir stood there looking at his father know.
Faramir: "My lord Orcs have taken Osgliath they have thousands of orcs crossing the river Anduin, the Nazgul are present as well"
Denethor looked up at his son for he dispised Faramir.
Denethor: "Do what you will Faramir for I have much more urgeant buisness to discuss with my real commanders."
Faramir looked his father coldly as Denethor payed no heed to him.
Faramir: "Well it would grieve to hear that my brother your son is dead!"
Denethor shot up from the table his face was raged he looked at Faramir with anger his eyes.
Denethor: "Why do you say such things Faramir you foolish man your brother is probably out there fighting for his cause and this city for he has a mighty gift which will protect him and save this city."
Faramir: "Believe what you will father but the so called mighty gift betrayed him to his death"
Denethor: "Well if it is true then you must retake Osgiliath by any means possible"
Denethor sat in his chair and a tear came from his eye he then crashed his hand o n the table and the men scattered and left the room for Faramir nodded and left walking slowly to the door. Faramir stood outside the door as the cold air hit his face he took a deep sigh as a commander watched him and waited for the order.
Faramir: "Ready 200 men, glad them in armour and assign horses to them for we will do our best to retake the city of Osgiliath"
The commander nodded but looked shocked. Aragorn and Imrahil were talking as Frodo was starring at Faramir who stood on the steps thinking to himself.
Imrahil: "Do not take it to heart Denethor has become a crazed man over the past few years people say they see strange things from his room above the hall"
Aragorn: "Nevermind that know we must make haste to defend the city"
Aragorn turned to Faramir who walked over to the men and past them down the slope. Aragorn looked to Imrahil then followed Faramir.
Aragorn: "What is your orders Faramir"
Faramir"Too retake Osgiliath by whatever means"
He didnt look at Aragorn but walked straight down to the Armoury. Aragorn looked at him with petty.
Aragorn: "This is madness do not throw away your life Faramir"
Faramir: "He is my father I would die to please him only if he looked and cared for me the same way as he does Boromir, but what am I to say"
Faramir closed the door to the Armoury as Aragorn stood outside pondering thoughts to himself. Imrahil and Frodo rode down to him and Aragorn mounted the spare horse as they rode to the gate. They reached the gate and joined the rest of the Fellowship who were sitting by the inn.
Gimli: "Well Aragorn that was quick what did he say?"
Aragorn dismounted the horse so did Imrahil and Frodo.
Aragorn: " We must wait and defend the city it is here that the doom of our time will be decided"
The company sat there for a while and they could hear cheers and crying for coming down the road was a great host of men on horses clad in armour with Faramir leading them down to the gate. Imrahil stood with his Knights beside Aragorn, he ran over to his newphew.
Imrahil: "I wish I could ride with you my Nephew, may the blessing of Numenor be beside you"
He touched Faramirs horse as they rode through the gate and out into the field as the women the wifes of the men who were riding were crying with t here children but some cheered for they were heroes to the people of Minas Tirith and gave them hope but at the same time despair. Aragorn stood there silent eyes fixed on Faramir for he also like Imrahil admired Faramirs courage.
