Coronation 8
AN: I didn't really know what to do for a coronation scene, so a lot of this is taken straight from the book, I know that one was outside-but hey! Did you look outside in middle earth today? It is pouring, so the coronation is inside! I do not own the lord of the rings, only Maranwe who is my little baby girl :-p
Padme the 2nd: your title doesn't suck and I cant wait for more chapters from you!
Future-angel: sorry this isn't up sooner, I have so many other fics I'm working on, I kinda take them on in shifts.
Tony: me not ungrounded for long time, me just happy mother is never home.. MWAHAHA! I beat the system!
Rose-Arwen-Padme: valar I hope you are able to get on internet soon, I will die if you cant update!! The fluff is coming I promise you!! Not sure how soon! But it IS coming!!
Melana: I love the twins, they are characters in tolkien but are so under developed that you can twist them around and make them the way you want them to be!
PrincessIce: all your questions will be answered—by the end of the entire story. Good things come to those who wait
Starry: Maranwe and Eowyn DO rule. Though I write a/a fics Eowyn is actually my favorite character in the whole trilogy(even thought im the biggest liv tyler fan ever!!!)
Bwitched83uk: im not sure if im writing it like the movie or not sadie, if you are talking about the way that Aragorn sees Arwen for the first time then NOO my way is much more different!!
Anastasia Who: I was gonna do more of Elrond and Elrohir, but they truly are not important to the story right now...they will be back though
Last Evenstar: sorry no fluff this chapter, but its coming up
Converted: I used my 24 usable hours in everyday (thankyou!) to write this chapter-personally I liked then new version of empire records—they both have their pros and cons (and btw—I did the happy hidalgo day thing...but I made cookies...:-p)
Galadwen19: ya I do have a one track mind...hee hee..
Thankyou everyone else!! Me love the reviews!!
A half hour later----
Faramir and Aragorn stood in the front entrance of the chapel. This day should have been a joyous one, yet mourning and sadness was etched on their faces. They had tried to delay the coronation as long as possible, hoping that when Eowyn and Maranwe returned that they would bring Arwen with them. There had been no sign of them since they left.
Faramir looked over Aragorn one last time and straightened his cape. "You can do this Aragorn, its just becoming king-no big deal." He said with a foolish smile.
"I've faced thousands of orcs, survived unlivable weather conditions and journeyed into the darkest lands." Aragorn spoke, "Why am I so scared to do this?"
"Because you have been trying to avoid it your entire life Elessar. Let us face it, In the beginning, the only reason you would even consider taking this power, which you never wanted; was so you would have the blessing to marry Arwen. Am I right?"
Aragorn nodded slowly, "I grew up my entire life, wishing I wasn't mortal. I was convinced that men were weak and I would never be strong enough to take the crown."
"Then you came to Rohan with the Fellowship," Faramir continued, "And saw that Rohan had a king, and yet they were in terrible condition, so you began to fear for Gondor's strength, with my father slowly losing his mind."
Aragorn raised his eyes to stare at Faramir. How did he know all this? How could Faramir say everything so well, as if it had happened to himself? Besides Arwen, only one other person had connected to him like that. Aragorn took a breath a said, "You really are a lot like your brother Faramir."
The air caught in the young steward's lungs at the mention of his late brother, "Why do you say that?" he asked.
Faramir was obviously still in his mourning period, so Aragorn spoke as gently as possible. "Boromir could sense things about me, how I was afraid to accept that I was the heir. That only I could save Gondor and its people. He made me realize that there is courage in the strength of men," Aragorn's eyes lowered to the floor, "something that I had never seen."
Faramir smiled and patted his friend on the shoulder, "It's a shame that Boromir isn't here today; for I would certain that he would be out with Eowyn and Maranwe at this very moment."
Aragorn nodded, "It wouldn't surprise me in the least." The two friends were broken from their thoughts as the Citadel bell rang. The coronation had begun.
The only sound that Arwen could hear was the sound of eight sets of hooves pounding into the soft mud. Thankfully, the rain had begun to let up and Minas Tirith was visible as ever. The white stone was shining from the dew of the rain and seemed to be calling to Arwen.
Minas Tirith was to be her new home. Moreover, within those white walls was her future husband. Arwen blushed at the thought of being married to Aragorn after all these years of love and waiting--sometimes more patiently than others. She would be Queen of Gondor. Of course, there were times she would fear about what the people of the White City would think of having an elf as their queen; would they be upset? On the other hand, happy? Or threatened that someone not of their land had come to rule in their country. Arwen sighed, absent-mindedly. 'I truly hope that it is all for the better.' She thought to herself, 'Me being an elf shouldn't put them off. Aragorn has been in Gondor for a few months now, surely they must know.' And if not, then her and Aragorn would deal with it. They would be together then, and that was all that mattered.
As Arwen sat in the saddle, rocking back and forth as her horses feet touched the ground she could feel her heart leaping in her chest every time the mere thought of Aragorn crossed her mind. It had been far too long without the touch of his lips on hers. How badly she missed his kisses. The slightest kiss from him, whether it was on the mouth or her cheek or her neck would make any day to her seem like the greatest one she had experienced. And it would only make her wish for another kiss to see if it was possible for her to be any happier.
'I am coming Aragorn, please wait for me. I want to be there for you my love.'
IM SORRY! I KNOW THIS IS REALLY SHORT!! Im having the hardest time writing long chapters lately! At least you got this...and think about it this way...one last chapter until the reunion!! hug
