Aragorn lifted the girl up from the ground and watched the battle between the two Valar. Melkor was now lying on the ground, screaming in agony and shivering from the pain. Sweat ran down his face but he still was not willing to give in and follow Tulkas to their master.

"If you stop your defence, it would be much easier for both of us," yelled Tulkas and sighed when Melkor merely shook his head. He sighed again and went a few steps further into Melkor's direction, kneeling down beside him. "I'm very sorry but you'll agree that this is necessary," he said, pretending to feel really sorry and knocked him unconscious.

Turning around to face the army of men, Tulkas saw the fear and confusion written across their faces. "Like you see, the Valar still watch over Arda like they've always done. Melkor managed to get out of the emptiness where was damned to live but this was the last time he brought darkness over Middle Earth. He's not one of us anymore and he will die like he lived over all those centuries- alone and into darkness," Tulkas shouted so that everyone could hear him.

He pointed at Alia and said: "The mercy of the Valar will allow her to live as long as it is her real time to leave her people which hasn't come yet. Take her back home and this time watch over her more carefully!" With this words he grabbed the lifeless form of Melkor and disappeared in the same way he had appeared.

Silence lay over the Pelennor for some minutes until the king gave his men the command to ride back home. Aragorn climbed back in the saddle and dragged Alia on the back of the horse as well.

A light red sun rose over Minas Morgul when Alia awoke from her unconsciousness . She could feel the warmth of the sun on her face and she scented the sweet smell of flowers. With a soft smile on her face she opened her eyes and saw her mother sitting next to her bed. "Nana," she whispered and touched the woman's hand that was lying on her blanket. Arwen woke up immediately and realised that she had fallen asleep. She saw her daughter smiling at her and sighed in relief. "Alia, my dear, what mercy of the Valar brought you back to us," the elf said and took the girl into an embrace. Tears fell down her cheeks and washed away the dark shadows of mourn and sadness on the beautiful woman's face.

"What happened nana? I can't remember anything! The last thing I know is that there were many Orcs in front of us but I have the feeling that this wasn't the last thing that happened or why else should I be here," Alia scratched her cheek and wiped a tear from her mother away who stood up and answered: "I'll tell you everything but first I'm going to bring you something to eat! You must be starving!" She left the room and the girl lend back in bed. Her head hurt as if someone had hit her hard bust she just couldn't remember what happened.

But everything that counted at the moment was that she was back home again and everything would be ok soon...
