Silence fell through the forest as Thaladirith was awaiting Aragorn's explanation.
Aragorn was looking deep into Thaladirith's eyes. His eyes began to glaze over and he seemed to be looking straight through him in as in a dream.
"Aragorn!" shouted Thaladirith hoping to wake him out of this trance and get an explanation of his weird behaviour.
Aragorn shook his head and his eyes opened wide.
"Sorry Thaladirith I was in deep thought." Aragorn mumbled
"It's ok. So what of this vision you see."
"It is of Arwen. This vision has haunted me even since you came and told me I may have to leave. It hurts me to think of it and explain it to you. You must be patient with me and understand." Aragorn whispered softly
Thaladirith listened carefully to every word Aragorn spoke. He lent forward urging Aragorn to continue.
"I.... I get this vision of Arwen lying on our bed. Her body drained and exhausted. Her face seems somewhat pale and her body limp. Her eyes are slightly open and her mouth is dry. I walk over to her and she tries to speak to me. She opens her mouth but no words prevail, she lets out a quiet cough and gasps for air. Her arm then rises from the bed and she stretches out her finger as to point to the small velvet table next to her. I move my eyes to where she points and see a small child. Its body wrapped tightly in cloth and its eyes shut...
It's my son." Aragorn blurted out with tears streaming down his face.
He collapsed onto the horse's neck, crying in pain.
"Is that all you see." Thaladirith said releasing a small tear but trying to stay together for Aragorn's sake.
Aragorn raised his face, which was buried firmly in the horse's hair, filled with hurt.
"I saw Arwen and my son dead. What do you mean "Is that all you see." It hurts more then you would ever understand. My heart cannot keep beating when it sees this vision. I can't eat. I can't sleep. The pain seers through my body just thinking of her wilted body." Aragorn shouted very abruptly
"I did not mean it like that King Elessar. I know the pain and strain you are under, but you are doing the right thing. Arwen is in safe capable hands. Aragorn listen to me, it is just a vision it may not even be true."
Thaladirith tried to stay strong and put Aragorn back on track, but no one could help him now, he just wanted to be alone.
Aragorn dismounted his horse and ran into the woods.
"Aragorn! Aragorn! Where are you going? Please don't leave now." Thaladirith yelled trying to clam down a very distressed King.
Aragorn heard Thaladirith's plea for him to stay. He stopped in his tracks and turned to face him. Thaladirith could not stand looking Aragorn in the eye; the pain was too strong. He had never felt anything like this before.
Aragorn slowly bowed his head and wiped away all of his tears. He tried to think straight and rid the vision out of his mind. But it would never go, it was always there every canter stride he would take he saw Arwen's pale face. He didn't want to carry on and go through that again.
He lifted his head high and took a deep breath inwards taking in all of the country air.
"I am sorry I have bought this upon you Aragorn. I am sorry to tear you away from your wife at this vital time. Now you must understand, we need you, and I know this is going to be a difficult journey, but we can do it. Together." Thaladirith said letting out a deep sigh of relief to see that Aragorn had came to his senses.
He took up the reins and held them in a tight grip between his fingers. He swung his right leg over and gave the horse a swift kick onward. The horse leapt into gallop, with stones flying in every direction.
Thaladirith gave his horse a few kicks to try and gain ground on Aragorn. His horse always seemed to be lazier and so Thaladirith had work harder to try and keep up.
The sky soon fell dark and the sun was losing its brightness every second. The woods became shaded and Aragorn pulled up his horse next to a few broken logs, which had fallen off the trees.
He dismounted yet again and sat on a small log, trying to avoid sitting on the fungi, which also grew upon it.
A few minutes later Thaladirith came into Aragorn's view and he waved as so he would slow down. Thaladirith pulled up and quickly dismounted.
"Is it ok if we stay here tonight."? Aragorn said hoping he would agree with his decision.
"Why yes of course Aragorn. I will not sleep until you close your eyes ok. I will not leave you to fight this vision on your own." Thaladirith replied comforting Aragorn.
"I will not sleep." Aragorn said tearfully
