The beacons of Gondor are lit again, this time Rohan calls for aid

Chapter one

Faramir gazed out from his high tower, watching the sunset. He also saw a small but bright orange flame in the horizon. It was the first time he had seen such a beautiful sight since the great battle of middle earth.

"All is getting back to normal, like old times before Sauron started to regain his power,"

he said as he smiled to himself. How he loved the peacefulness around him, no orcs armies thumping about, killing people off, there hadn't been a war in 30 years now. In fact orcs were nowhere to been seen out in the open, it was said that they hide deep in the dark tunnels and caves in the mountains, living day by day.

"Faramir my lord, Lady Eowyn wishes to see you in the lower chamber," said a messanger. "What business might ," thought Faramir.

Down the many flights of stairs he went, eager to hear what Eowyn had to say. Eowyn was sitting alone at a table, her hands clutched together, as if praying hard. She started at the sight of Faramir and got up to receive him, embracing him as if they hadn't met for a long time.

"Bad business my lord, the beacons of Gondor are lit, I suppose my kingdom, Rohan is in grave danger," she said, her eyes solemn. "What evil could stir in Rohan?" he thought, but nevertheless, he ordered for preparations to be made for the journey to Rohan.

"Please let me go with you, to fight for my country," Eowyn said, her eyes shining with hope. "Of course I will, for I know how much your heart desires to go to battle," Faramir assured her. "Prepare gear for Lady Eowyn as well, we will set out first thing tomorrow, have a good night's sleep, all of you!"he ordered.

"We should go to bed now too," Faramir said to Eowyn, "wouldn't want to miss out on any action." With a soft but satisfied smile, Eowyn linked hands with Faramir as they headed for the bed chamber.
