ARAGORNS POV

I continue to look out my window, even after Maranwe had left. Hoping that any moment I will spot you in the horizon and you will be here in time for the ceremony that takes place in only a couple hours. Glancing back down to the Evenstar pendant in my bandaged hand I can remember so vividly those words you spoke to me the day before I left.

'I would rather share one lifetime with you, then face all the ages of this world alone.'

Not one day has gone by without me thinking of how much you gave up for me. At first, I know I did not want you to give up your immortality for me. And I still wish you would sail to the Valinor and see your mother again and live out your life with your people. But you made me realize that if I were in your position I would do the exact same thing.

I gaze back out the window and know that before the plains, hills and distant mountains is Minas Tirith. My-no our future city. Our kingdom.

There was another reason that I wished for you to be here tonight, besides the coronation. I push myself up from my seat by the window and pull out a small box in my desk drawer.

I was hoping to give you this---

I open the carved box and pull out a shining gold ring. Tonight was to be the night I asked you to be my wife. I had been planning the proposal ever since the coronation date had been set. Of course, all knew that we were to be wed, but I felt that it would be my duty to propose to you and ask officially.

Nobody knows I have the ring, not Faramir, not Legolas, not Maranwe. I know you had always dreamed of a beautiful proposal, and tonight would be perfect. You would never even thin of suspecting that it would be today.

I know my love that today is a big day for me, and I desperately want you to be here to support me, but today means something special to you too. I do not want you to think that I have forgotten.

I feel the edge of my lips curl up slightly. And I wont forget, just hurry Arwen, just hurry.

"Arwen only for a few minutes. The horses have been galloping for hours, they need to walk just for a little bit." Elladan pleaded.

Arwen nodded reluctantly and slowed her horse to a walk. It was near midday on the first of may. Elladan and Arwen had managed to ride away from their father with the help of Elrohir and they had been galloping nonstop since last night. Arwen assumed that after this short rest they would reach the white city in a couple of hours. And if they kept this pace they should have no problem making it to the ceremony in time.

"I'm going to have to thank Elrohir when he arrives with Ada tomorrow." Arwen said taking a sip of water from her canteen. Turning to Elladan beside her she said, "How angry to you believe father will be?"

The tall elf shrugged, "He will get over it. It still hasn't hit him; the real meaning of this trip." Elladan adjusted himself in the saddle and said, "We are going for Estel's coronation yes, but there is going to be a bigger ceremony not far after." He said with a grin.

Arwen felt herself blush, "It isn't official yet, and we are not even engaged."

"But Ada knows in the back of his mind that you will not be returning to Imladris with us. And he's scared of that, that is why he wouldn't let you ride ahead. He thinks giving you more time will change your mind." Elladan told her.

Arwen nodded, "I know, but I love Aragorn." She spoke quietly, "I want to marry him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him." She faced her brother, "Why doesn't he understand that? He knows how much we love each other."

Elladan reached across and took his sisters hand, "It's going to be a hard adjustment, not having you with us anymore." His eyes went soft as he squeezed Arwen's hand, "I wish you the best of luck on your life with Estel, but-I am going to miss you Undomiel."

Arwen bit her lip, "Elladan---"

"You're my little sister and I have watched and helped you grow up. Watching you fall in love with Estel was a beautiful thing, and now you are going to marry him. I could not be a prouder elder brother, to have my sister marry such an honorable man."

Arwen smiled proudly at her brother, "Thank you Elladan." She was going to say more but was pulled from her thoughts as she felt a raindrop on her head. Looking up to the sky she spoke, "Is it raining?"

"Arwen!" Elladan suddenly spoke, "We better ride!"

Arwen turned around and could see in the distance fast approaching black clouds pouring buckets of water on the ground below. She kicked her horse in the sides and cried, "Noro lim! Noro lim!"
