Faramir awoke, hearing a faint voice in the distance, "My lord! We must leave now, everyone's getting prepared. We have to set out at the first light of dawn in order to reach Edoras in time," said a humble soldier, Madolin was his name. "Alright, I shall be down soon, is lady Eowyn up?" he asked the soldier. "Aye, my lord, she is having her meal in the dining hall. She has been up since the wee hours of the morning!"he answered faithfully. Faramir smiled, "Eowyn must be really excited to be retuning to her country, I'm sure she misses her people very much," he thought. He quickly put on is full gear and armour, and made his way down to the third level of the city. Many soldiers were already assembled there, chatting merrily and making last minute adjustments to their suit. When they saw Faramir approaching, all bowed low and said in praise, "Long live Lord Faramir, captain of Gondor!" With the wave of the hand he beckoned them to rise, and spoke, "This is the day we ride to Rohan, to aid the Rohirrim in battle as they have valiantly done before! We shall not forget the help they have given us. You shall fight selflessly and bravely soldiers of Gondor!" The men cheered, and Faramir saw that amongst them stood Eowyn, she stepped forth of greet him," Good morning my captain! Had a pleasant night? I certainly can't wait for us to set off for Rohan, I really do wish to see my brother and my people again after all these years!" She laughed heartily and took Faramir's hand. "I've not seen you so happy for indeed a long time, and I'm very glad you are! You shall ride with me afterwards, dearest, we'll lead the company," Faramir answered gaily. The couple linked hands and lead the men down to the front gate. There were horses prepared for the soldiers and they swiftly got on and soon were ready to go. "How long is this journey going to take, from here to Edoras?" Eowyn enquired. "About 5 days or so, not very long," answered Faramir. So, a company of 8,000 set off from Minas Tirith, they rode for hours and hours without rest and only stopped for a breather. But as the sky darkened, they decided to settle on the fields at the edge of a forest. Many soldiers were weary, and once their tents were set up, they slumped onto the ground and fell into well deserved slumber. Faramir and Eowyn too had their rest and once night turned into day, the company continued on their journey. After 5 long tiring days, the company reached the borders of Rohan. Thandil, a soldier with far sight called out to Faramir, "My lord, a man on a white horse is approaching, he must be a messanger from Rohan!" Faramir squinted into the distance and in then mist, he could make out a stout figure on a horse galloping fast toward them. "Halt!" he ordered the soldiers. The man on the horse rode out from the mist, he wore a golden helmet and in his right hand held a shield. He got off the horse and walked towards Faramir. "Hail Lord Faramir and lady eowyn!We've been expecting you. Come Follow me!"said the soldier as he bowed to them.
