Alia knocked at the door to his father's office and entered without waiting for him to call her inside. He looked up from a map he was holding and smiled at her. "You look as exited as Eldarion when he sees a horse. Why are your cheeks glowing like that? Is there something I should know," he asked and lay the map aside.

"Well, Faramir send a note saying that a brutal murderer has killed rangers three rangers in Ithilien with peeling their skin off. Sorry that I've read his letter but I just couldn't stand to be as uninformed as usual. It would be the best if we ride to Ithilien in about an hour so we get there in the evening!!"

Aragorn lifted up an eyebrow and took the letter Alia was handling him. "What do you mean with 'we'," he asked and lay the letter aside as well. His daughter crossed her arms in front of her chest and sighed. "Well, your gonna take me with out if you want it or not! I'm not gonna stay here again, I'm old enough to come with you. And when I'm right, you'll need my powers because I think that a wizard has killed the rangers," she said and sat down in front of her father's table.

"A wizard? There aren't many wizards in middle earth and if I remember rightly they are all good and wouldn't hurt rangers. But to prevent an attack by you- you can come with us but only if you promise something..." Alia nodded exited.

"Your not gonna have the same nerve killing arguments with Théodred like when you both were little kids!!! He's Faramir's son and I agree that he can sometimes be a little bit strange and... some kind of childish but do this favour for me! We don't need another dead man as well!" The young woman thought for a moment, than agreed more or less happy. She than left the office to pack some things and tell Eldarion that she was allowed to come with the men.

Her brother was ins his room, packing some things as well into a bag. "Guess what, I'm allowed to come with you! We'll star our journey in an hour so get ready brother," she said and closed the door to his room behind her.

Eldarion came out of his room and followed his sister into her room. "Father allowed you to ride with us? But it will be dangerous, I don't want you to get involved in danger things again. I lost you one time, that's enough for the next 100 years," the young man sighed and sat down on her bed.

Alia rolled her eyes and threw a skirt at him. "I am a big girl, don't treat me like a child. This accident years ago was... well an accident, something like that is not going to be happen again!! Please remember my powers, they can protect me!! And now, get off my bed and let me pack some clothes, there isn't much time left."

Throwing the skirt back at her, Eldarion stood up and walked over to the window, giving his sister enough time to get ready for the journey.

After a few minutes Alia's bags were full and they went downstairs into the hall were their father was already waiting for them. They said goodbye to their mother and sisters, than followed Aragorn to the horses.
