Chapter 2

A beam of light from the glass window woke up the sleeping king of Gondor. He squinted his eyes and yawned. Then he turned and glanced over at his sleeping beauty lying peacefully on the bed. Her black hair was fanned out behind her on the white fluffy pillow. Aragorn reached forward and gently trailed his finger along her smooth skin. Then he placed a small gentle kiss on her lips trying not to wake her. But just then Arwens eyes suddenly fluttered opened.

" Good morning my Queen" Aragorn said as he smiled.

" Good morning my King." Arwen said.

Aragorn then leaned down and was about to kiss Arwen when there was a knock at the door. Aragon sighed.

" I'll be back my love." He said as he put on his favourite robe and headed to the door. He grabbed the golden handle and opened the door. There stood Theoden with an ill face.

" There is trouble behind the borders of Gondor Lord Aragorn and it would be wise if you came with me to check what's going on." Theoden explained.

" You are right Theoden, one minute please." Aragorn said as he closed the door. The he walked to the closet, pulled out some clothes and got dressed quickly. The he went under the bed and pulled out an old but sharp sword.

" What is it Aragorn?" Arwen asked the concern rising in her voice.

" There is just a minor bit of trouble my love, nothing to worry about. You should get dressed soon and go to the dinning hall to meet your father for breakfast." Aragorn said trying to reassure Arwen that everything was ok.

" I will see you soon" he said as he kissed her and headed out the door.
