Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't written but I have been busy with school! Thank you for the reviews! Here is finally chapter 8
Chapter 8
Everyone looked surprised when they heard him say that.
" The Black Pearl has been passed down from generations. All the men in my family want it so bad that they have killed each other for it. Just like my brother who killed my father so that he could have it." Shelo said.
" Well if you just have to marry a queen to be powerful than that's quite easy." Frodo said thinking to himself.
" Your right Frodo, but there's more to it than that. You see my brother wasn't as obsessed with the Black Pearl like my father was. I mean he did want the Pearl so he would be a powerful wizard but he was obsessed with someone else." Shelo said.
" Arwen…" Aragorn said angrily.
" That's right he couldn't stand to be away from her ever since he saw her when he was out walking one night. So he disguised himself so he could be a servant in you house hold. Then he could see your lady at the finest hours of the night wearing only her night gown. Every morning Shelo would write me a letter saying how wonderful Arwen was." Shelo said.
Aragorn's eyes went wide with anger. His body began to shake. He was made at himself for not seeing through Stone Rider's disguise, how stupid of him to be so blind!
" Bastard!" he said as he kicked a stone that was by his feet.
" This is all my fault! I should have known that Stone Rider was up to no good!" Aragorn cried out as he said down and put his head in his hands.
" Don't worry Aragorn we will find her, if you can't find her than no one will!" Frodo said trying to encourage the king.
" You don't have to look for her! I know where she is! I know where Stone Rider's castle is. No one knows where it is, except for Stone Rider and I." Shelo said.
" If I do follow you to his castle, how do I know that your not pulling me into some twisted trick." Aragorn asked.
" Because I hate my brother. To me he is a creation from hell and should not even be on this earth. I have seen the beauty of Lady Arwen and he should not have take that beauty away! I will help you get that beauty back!" Shelo exclaimed.
" Thank you Shelo!" Aragorn replied as he smiled softly.
" I'll come to!" Gimli said as Legolas nodded his head in agreement. The four hobbits insisted that they go too and of course Lord Elrond wanted to go to.
" You guys can come with me, only until we reach the front lines of Stone Rider's border. After that you have to stop following me and go back. I want it just to be Stone Rider and I." Aragorn stated.
Lord Elrond was about to disagree but knew that it was best to respect the Kings wishes. Everyone agreed to do what Aragorn said.
" How long is it to your brother's castle?" Aragorn asked as he got up and dusted himself off.
" Not long, a day not even that depends if the weather holds up." Shelo responded as he looked up at the baby blue sky that was above him. Then he pulled held up a brown bag.
" This has one days worth of food, which should last us." Shelo said.
" How are we getting there?" a small hobbit like voice said. It was Sam.
" Good question! But I have the answer!" Shelo said as he took out his small black and silver wand from his pocket. He swung it around 3 times and whispered something so quiet that even Legolas was having a hard time hearing. All of a sudden the sound of hoofs could be heard coming in their direction. Then seven horses came out into the open. The horses ran to them and stopped as they reached Shelo.
" This is how we are getting there!" Shelo said as he hopped on a dark black horse.
The four hobbits split into two and got on two different horses. Legolas and Gimli shared a horse. Lord Elrond, Aragorn and Gandalf had their own horses. Once everyone was set,Shelo rode up front and led the group down the road. Not knowing what lay ahead of him Aragorn prayed for Arwen's safety and touched his Evenstar. He would find Arwen no matter what.
