And here is the second chapter! I hope you all like it! Oh and in the first chapter some of you may have noticed I messed up on the names. The little sister's name is Naramie, so, no more confusion!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As the siblings snuck silently down the hall they passed the guard of the hallway where their bedrooms were. The guard's name was Peregrin Took, and he was a good friend of Alassë's. He was probably her only friend that wasn't family. He looked like he was asleep so the crept by as quietly as they could, not wanting to get caught. As they passed the kitchen Eldarion snuck in and grabbed a bunch of food for their trip. But as he came out of the kitchen his foot got caught on the carpet and he fell on his face knocking Pippin's spear to the floor with a loud crash. Luckily he was a heavy sleeper and didn't wake up. As they snuck down further down the hallway Alassë remembered something that would be of great importance on this trip. She quickly ran back to her room and grabbed her sword, dagger, and bow and quiver of arrows from her trunk. As she ran she put on her gear, sheathing her sword and dagger, and almost tripping on the same bit of carpet in front of Pippin that her brother tripped on. She caught up
with her siblings at the front door where they had stopped to put ont heir cloaks. As Eldarion saw her run up to them he had a look of shock on his face.
"Where did you go!? You could have gotten caught!" he said to her in anger. But when he saw that she was armed he got even more angrier. "You went to get your weapons! Jeez Alassë! I really don't think you'll need those right away! Now quick and put this one!" he said as he threw her her cloak which was made of a shimmery light purple cloth and was fastened with a brooch shaped like a white lily. Once they were out the front door they had to sneak past the guards at the front of the palace and by they stables. That wasn't as easy as sneaking past Pippin but they managed it unnoticed. Once they were in the stables they tacked up their horses and snuck out the back door. After that they were on their way. Once they were out of the town of Minas Tirith, they had to stop and think. In which direction should they head? They didn't have a clue where the Haradrim had come from or where they were going or how they got in and out or whether or not they were on steeds of some sort or not. They had no clues at all.
"Where are we going to go?" Nessa asked the group.
"I don't know. I wish there were some clues to follow.." Eldarion answered. As they stood there wondering where to go, Naramie had the most useful advice ever.
"Where are the Hardrim from?" Naramie asked
"Aren't they from the south?" Nessa asked.
"Yeah. They come from the south. Why?" Eldarion asked
"Then we should go south." Naramie said.
"But where should we aim for?" Nessa asked
"A major area.......a place that was occupied before by a major evil person. I think we should go to Isengard." Alassë said after a long silence.
"Isengard!? Why would they go to Isengard!?" Nessa asked in alarm.
"I think she's got a point, Ness. They're either going to be in Isengard or.......Mordor" Eldarion said. He said the last word in a hushed voice.
"Mordor! Why on earth would they be there!?" Nessa said in even more alarm.
"They used to serve Sauron! Didn't you listen to any of Dad's stories about the War of the Ring? Or even do a research project about it in school? The Haradrim brought their Oliphaunts and warriors from the south to fight for Sauron against the people of Middle Earth, while Sauron looked for the One Ring which Frodo was bringing to Mordor to destroy in the Cracks of Doom...." Alassë said before she was cut off by her brother.
"We don't need a history lesson on this Alassë. We just need to know whether our parents are being taken to Isengard or Mordor! And somehow I don't think that's in the history books." Eldarion said.
"It didn't say that. Unfortunately. But I think it did say that although few people were taken captive by the Haradrim, the captives they did have were kept in Mordor. Of course it would be in Mordor. They served Sauron, so where else would they keep captives of Sauron, but in Mordor where Sauron lived? But that might not necessarily be the case now, because they don't serve Sauron anymore. And there's nobody at Isengard anymore either is there? So I don't know. Did Dad teach you any of his Ranger tricks, Eldarion?" Alassë said.
"Yeah he did. But I don't think I'm that good. But i can try. I'll need to find some trace of them first. Go stand over there." he replied and pointed over by the wall. Once they were out of his way he started a search of the ground.
Half an hour later Eldarion got up off the ground and walked over to his sisters. Naramie was asleep in Nessa's arms and Alassë was petting her horse.
"Have you figured out where they went?" Alassë asked as she saw him come over
"I think so. I'm pretty sure where they've headed." Eldarion answered.
"And? Where'd they go?" Nessa asked.
"Isengard." Eldarion said.
