Chapter 11

Epilogue

The next day, Amras and Reallan traveled home. The journey was without trouble, though they did see a few scattered groups of orcs.

As the years passed and Reallan grew older, a threat from Sauron fell on the cities of Gondor. All able men were called to fight. Amras journeyed to Osiligath were he fought bravely under Captain Faramir. The men; however, were too few and could not keep the city. They retreated from the battle and rode to Minas Tirith. Soon after Amras, along with a small group of soldiers rode back to defend Osiligath. They knew the battle was hopeless, but the steward of Gondor sent them.

As Reallan watched Amras ride through the city, tears fell from her eyes. She tried to hold on to hope, but her heart told her that she would never see her brother again. That day, every one of the horsemen died, everyone but Lord Faramir.

Reallan's heart broke that day. The future seemed hopeless. Her brother and hero had died in battle. The city was falling and the people were loosing hope. Though tears stained Reallan's cheeks, she decided she would not go down without a fight. Picking up a sword, she ran up the steps to the wall. She found a helmet and placed it upon her head. She fought bravely, though the battle seemed endless.

Then something happened that she did not expect. Aragorn led a group of the Dead towards Gondor. With this new help, the city was easily won. The city of men had prevailed. Aragorn was crowned King of Gondor soon after the battle. Reallan smiled proudly at his ceremony and rejoiced as he married Arwen. She only wished Amras had been there to share in the happiness with her.

*~*~*

Aragorn sat happily at the table. It was his Wedding Feast and Aragorn couldn't be happier. Suddenly one of his guards whispered something in his ear.

"King Aragorn! Someone wishes to talk with you. I told her that you are busy and can not talk with every person here, but she insisted on it. She said she is an old friend of yours."

Aragorn nodded. "Where is she?"

"She's out on the balcony, my Lord."

Aragorn politely excused himself and walked out to the balcony. Waiting outside was a young woman who Aragorn recognized immediately.

"Reallan!" He exclaimed.

Reallan smiled and bowed low. "Greetings, King Ara-"

Aragorn placed his hands on her shoulders and pulled her into an embrace. "Reallan, I have known you for many years. You do not need to bow to me. We are still old friends."

Reallan smiled warmly. "It is so good to see you again."

Aragorn nodded. "It is good to see you as well. I did not even know that you were here in Gondor." He replied.

"I have been here for some time now. Amras and his soldiers were called into battle. I followed him here." Reallan said.

"And how is Amras? Is he well?" Aragorn asked

Reallan lowered her head as tears filled her eyes. His memory was still fresh in her mind and she had not had much time to grieve.

Aragorn quickly understood. He pulled Reallan close to him. "I am sorry. I did not know."

Reallan sniffed. "It is okay. He died bravely in battle."

Aragorn wanted to know what happened, but he knew Reallan would tell him in her own time.

"Aragorn?" A voice called from behind them.

Aragorn turned around to see Legolas.

"Arwen is looking for you. She is worried." Legolas told him.

Aragorn nodded. "Tell her I will be back in a moment."

Legolas nodded and left.

"You better get back inside." Reallan said as she wiped away her tears. "After all this is your party. It is your day to be happy. You should not be out here wasting time listening to my problems."

Aragorn smiled. "Reallan, the people can wait. When I was a ranger, I cared for you like I would if you were my sister. Now that I am a king that has not changed. That heart of a ranger still cares for you. If you need me, I am here."

Reallan managed a smile. "Thank Aragorn, but you must get back. My only intent was to say hi to you. I can not delay you any longer." Reallan replied, though she didn't really mean it in her heart.

Aragorn nodded. "Well, I am glad you did. I think I will stay out here and get some fresh air." Aragorn cast a smile at Reallan.

"How long do you plan on staying?" Reallan asked understanding that he would not leave her alone.

"As long as I am needed." Aragorn replied with a shrug.

"I do not deserve your kindness, Lord Aragorn, but I thank you for it. But please, go back to your ceremony. Arwen is waiting." Reallan said.

Aragorn smiled. "Then will you accompany me?"

Reallan nodded as she followed Aragorn. The rest of the day was joyous. Reallan talked with some of her old friends. She was pleased to see Elrond again and his sons as well.

~~~

For many years after, Reallan stayed at the castle with Aragorn and Arwen. She became a good friend with their children and enjoyed watching them. Aragorn was always happy to have her in the palace and treated her like royalty.

Reallan enjoyed time to settle down and enjoy life. She spent many days with Arwen walking through the gardens or writing poetry and songs. When Legolas came to visit, she would walk through the gardens with him. They would talk for hours and enjoy the company of one another.

As the years passed, Reallan finally did marry. She fell in love with a Gondorian soldier who served in Aragorn's palace. He was a handsome man and a brave soldier. Reallan was very happy with him and they enjoyed many years together.
