Arethen stepped through the door of the Hall and gasped as she looked around, this hall seem homier than Gondor's Halls where the marble walls made it always seem cold and scary. While this one seem warm and comforting all the flags of the white horse of Rohan, here she felt like she was part of the family already.
"Lady Arethen, I am," said the queen of Rohan, but was cut off by Arethen.
"Lady Eowyn, I have heard much about you and Faramir. And please just call me Arethen." The girl said, as she continued to be awed by the site of the hall. She rarely ever left the city of Minas Tirith, she was lucky if she got to make it to the Osgiliath, but she had not been there for 10 years, when she was nine.
"Ah, well that I am pretty sure you know who Gimli and Legolas are then?" Eowyn asked the brunette girl in front of her.
"Well, I have heard stories from my father, but never met them. My father said the last time her say those two was when my eldest brother was just born, and that was 20 years ago, and then he had not ventured out to see them, or them come to him. He says he misses them, and if I were to come across them in my journey that I would tell them that he sends his best." She said looking to the two men, "The only problem is that I don't know who is who?"
Legolas stepped in, "I am Legolas Greenleaf, and this is Gimli," he said pointing to the short dwarf next to him.
"Thanks laddie." Gimli said as he took out his pipe.
"Well you must have had a long journey, a three day gallop from Minas Tirith if I remember, you must sit and rest, tell of us of yourself, Arwen and Aragorn, your bothers, and your adventure." Faramir said as he ushered her over to a table where they could all sit around and listen to her tale.
"Alright, Myself?" they nodded as she took in a deep breath, "Well for starters, it was only a day and half gallop with my horse, father want me to have the fastest horse in middle earth, and so my horse is bred to be the fastest. As for me, I am 19, about to turn 20 soon, I have two younger brothers that can be pests some times, my eldest brother I don't see often for he is always practicing with his swords. Their names are, Arangeo who is the eldest, then Athenora is 5 years younger than me, and then my littlest brother and I have to say the best is Arathorn who is 6. I have only been out of Minas Tirith once but that was only to go over to Osgiliath when I was 9, I talked my parents into letting me go and explore middle earth for a month, I am planning on visiting the old city of Rivendell, but they don't know that. I have been trained just as my brothers, how to work a sword and sometimes can beat Arangeo if I pay attention, my mother taught me mainly though. I am pretty handy with a bow and arrows but that I learned on my own."
"As for my parents, they are still happy together, although Father gets more grey hairs everyday with Arathorn, I would have to say from the stories I have heard he would have to take after Merry the most. I have, along with my brothers, have spent most of our lives in Minas Tirith, boring if you ask me, I want to find adventure. I want to kill orcs like my father!" Arethen finished as she looked deep into Legolas's eyes.
"Your father was and still is a good man." Legolas spoke back as he looked back into her eyes.
"Why venture to Rivendell?" Faramir asked, he did not notice that this young lady and the elf.
"I don't know, I am drawn to it. From stories that my Mother has told me I wish to see for myself. I want to see the city even if it broken down." She said still looking into Legolas's eyes.
"Then I will take you. I will show you the way to your mother's home." Legolas said. Finally the table saw they were only looking at each other and nobody else. Faramir and Eowyn smiled at each other.
"Alright then, Legolas will take Lady Arethen to Rivendell. You will leave tomorrow at dawn then, but please rest with the time being." Eowyn smiled.
"Thank you Lady Eowyn, but I would like to explore the city if I may?" She slowly pulled her gaze from Legolas and look at the Queen.
"Of Course," She said as she smiled back at the young princess of Gondor.
They ate in silence, but as soon as Lady Arethen had her fill she excused herself and walked out of the hall, with Legolas following her.
As soon as they left Gimli started to laugh along with the King and Queen at Legolas and Arethen, "Well looks like our Laddie found himself a girl," Gimli laughed even harder.
----------Dawn the Next Day----------
"Legolas, lets go! I want to leave as soon as possible," A girl yelled at the elf.
"My lady, you won't wake him up until he want too," Gimli yawned as he pulled covers over his head and tried to fall back asleep.
"You want a bet," She shot over to Gimli, and then she pulled the covers off Legolas and pushed him of the bed, making him landed flat on his face. He groaned as he hit the floor, "What the hell?" He said as he notice that he was on the cold floor.
"Get up sleepy head I want to go soon," Arethen smiled at him as he looked up at her, "I will meet you in the hall, we will eat breakfast and then set off, Got it?" she questioned as she turned on her heel and walked out of the room.
"Yeah I be out there soon," Legolas answered to himself as he push himself off the ground and started to put his armor on then headed to the hall to have breakfast.
"You know Legolas; you really should learn to wake up in the morning, because you would be lucky if I don't pour water on you next time, I was in there for forever! Hurry eat! I want to leave soon. You got a horse as well right?" She spoke hurriedly
"Sorry I was not up so soon. I will hurry, and yes I have a horse." He commented to the rushed girl.
"Alright I will be at the stables then, Hurry please!" She yelled as she ran out of the hall.
Arethen ran out of the hall and down the steps toward the stables and her horse. "Regotho are you ready to ride?" Her horse whined as she began to pet him.
"Your horse is beautiful," said a voice behind her. She nodded and mounted it thought her dark blue and dark purple cloak behind her (A.N. Think of what Arwen was wearing when she made her first appearance in the Fellowship Movie.), "Ready?" she said as she grabbed the reins of the horse. A couple of minutes later Legolas had mounted his horse and they were trotting down the hill toward the gates of Rohan. As soon as the gates were open her horse shot off with her egging the stallion on.
"ARETHEN! WAIT!!!" Legolas yelled after her, she finally pulled on the reins and waited for Legolas to catch up, "Sorry Legolas, I love the wind in my face," She sighed as their trotted the way out of Rohan and off on their Adventure!
