Tanya looks at Pippin, hoping that he will help. Pippin looks at the river,
tries to think. What would Tara want ? After a couple of minutes, he nods
his head in approval.
Pippin tells her everything that Tara told him. Not everything was important, the important part did not come till the end. Tara in a way had an argument with Eothain, Aragorn's younger brother and his friends for misbehaving with Tara and some other she-elves. Tanya thought for a while, did Eothain have any motive to kill Tara ? Maybe he did.. This incident happened one day before Tara's death. Eothain was rude, a spoilt brat, but could he really kill the one girl, who meant something to his older brother ? Could he ? Could he kill he's brother's love, just because of an argument ? Think about it, Aragorn knew that he had misbehaved with Tara and the others, he asked for forgiveness, he did not get punished and he was given a second chance, then why would he kill her ? He would then have nothing to hide.
Maybe it was not Eothain, it was someone else, but who ? Tanya had to find out, but first she had to talk to Aragorn. Tanya and Pippin head back to find the fellowship.
Aragorn : Are you out of your mind ? You are accusing my brother for the death of Tara. My brother could not kill anyone !
Aragorn was very angry, and Tanya tried to convince him, that till the real culprit is not found everyone will be a suspect.
Tanya : Aragorn, I am not accusing your brother for anything. I am just saying that he had a motive to kill her.
Aragorn : Then what are you doing ?
Tanya : Well, as you know, all men have a very big ego, especially them that have royal blood, like you and Eothain, and those who are spoilt brats, like Eothain. Eothain misbehaved with Tara, she comes and tells you. You are so angry that you start to shout at him in front of everyone. He is humiliated in front of everyone, he blames Tara. He then tells him to ask forgiveness from Tara and as I said men have big ego, his ego was crushed. Now, the motive, his ego was crushed, he was humiliated and he was very angry. He was so angry, that he lost control and killed Tara. Aragorn, I do not see anyone else with a motive to kill Tara. If Eothain did not kill Tara, then who did ?
Aragorn : It is enough, Tanya. My brother killed no one, I will not believe it until you prove it.
Aragorn leaves the room in anger, Tanya decides to follow him, but is stopped by the fellowship.
Gimli : Tanya, Eothain is Aragorn's brother, no person will believe that his or her brother or any family member is a killer.
Tanya : I guess you are right, I was a little harsh.
Sam : Don't worry, Tanya, we will find the killer
Merry : But the question is how
Legolas : I don't know. Right now, we have one suspect, and that is Eothain. Let's say that he killed Tara, with her out of why and no witnesses, he has nothing to worry about, but what if he is told that Tara is alive and Tanya pretends to be Tara, don't you think he will be a little worried then ? He could even make a mistake.
Frodo : Maybe you are right. I think that Tanya should go and meet Eothain as Tara. Let's see how he reacts.
Gandalf : Excellent, come Tanya, I know where he is.
Gandalf leaves the room and the rest follow to Eothain's chamber.
