Chapter 9

The wet rain fell down more heavier as the dark storm continued on. The group was now soaked to the bone and was shivering from the damp air that was wrapped around them. Shelo stopped when he came to a line of green emerald trees. He made his horse trot to a gap in between two oak trees.

" Where are we Shelo?" Aragorn asked as he pushed back his wet hair away from his face. As he looked around he could see beautiful flowers that were painted with vibrant colors. The others were just as astounded by the beauty as Aragorn was, and were questioning where Shelo had taken them.

" We are standing in front of the entrance to Stone Rider's castle." Shelo said.

All of a sudden two arrows came flying through the sky towards them. One of them just missed them completely and the other just missed Aragorn's left arm. They all looked up to see two guards with bows and arrows standing in front of them, beginning to pull another arrow at them.

" Legolas!" Aragorn yelled.

Legolas was quick and was already shooting his arrows when Aragorn yelled his name. In one try he knocked down both guards.

" Once we enter Stone Rider's lands we must keep our eyes opened for any sort of danger!" Shelo said as his horse stepped onto Stone Rider's lands.

" Wait!" Aragorn said.

Everyone looked at him.

" I know I told you guys that I would take care of Stone Rider, and I still do. But I need you guys to cover me while we are in the castle so that I can find Arwen and kill Stone Rider." Aragorn explained.

" But.." Lord Elrond said.

Aragorn shook his head.

With that settled the group entered Stone Rider's lands and came across a huge stone door. The door stood about 9 feet from the ground. Behind the door was a huge stone castle with three towers each with 6 dark windows.

"Now where is Arwen." Aragorn thought to himself.

Then the solid, stone door opened up and the group went inside and escaped the wetness of the rain and the howling winds which had just picked up. Once they were all in, the door shut behind them.

Stone Rider who had been standing on the roof of his castle had saw his brother and Aragorn walking towards the castle.

" Argh, my little brother is helping Aragorn! Why isn't the king dead yet!" Stone Rider yelled.

" I will take care of it." One of his soldiers said.

" You take care of the rest, I want to do the honors of killing Aragorn with my own two hands." The soldier nodded his head and ran off as Stone Rider followed behind him.
