Aragorn laid rest his weary eyes and placed his head upon a fallen branch. It was not as comfortable as his soft silk pillow, that he used to rest his head on, but he realised it was all there was.
He slowly looked across to where Thaladirith was lying and noticed his eyes where still open.
"Aragorn are you ok. Try sleeping my friend, you will feel better for it." Thaladirith said trying to comfort his friend so he could get some rest.
"Ok I will try." Aragorn muttered
He closed his eyes and the pain seared through his body once more. He saw her pale face once more; her beauty was too strong to be taken away by death. He could feel the struggle she was possessing to stay alive. His head jerked forward and he rudely awoke.
"Aragorn." Came a cry from beside him
Thaladirith lifted up his head, helping him to breath. Aragorn gasped for breath before speaking.
"Thank you Mellon Nin." Aragorn whispered
The wood was quiet nothing did stir. The air was fresh and clean and any voice could be heard for miles.
They both lay back down beside each other and listened contentedly.
"Thaladirith. Do you have any family or friends."
Thaladirith bowed his head at the mention of his family. Aragorn could see something was wrong.
"Thaladirith." Aragorn spoke up
"Just leave it Aragorn." Thaladirith snapped
Aragorn could see he had hit a raw nerve of what he spoke of. He left the subject alone and thought he may ask at a later date.
The house seemed quiet when Aragorn was not around. Arwen could not believe how empty she felt when he was gone. Everything and everyone reminded her of him and his rough, torn body.
Arwen was lying in her cold unfilled bed, trying to take her mind of him, when the door slowly opened to reveal the maid, which was standing behind it.
"You must get your rest Lady Arwen, for you and the babies sake."
The maid walked in and wrapped the covers around Arwen. The maid could see a silent tear just drip off her face onto the covers.
"You miss Aragorn don't you." The maid said precariously
"Yes I do. I miss him more then life itself. I want to go and fight with him."
"Lady Arwen you know that, that is not feasible in your condition."
"I don't care. As soon as the sun rises I am going to see him. Even if I don't fight I can help with any injuries. I want to help him and be with him."
A few hours later the sun rose high in the clear blue sky and Arwen awoke early, as she normally did. She hurriedly got dressed and swiftly walked over to the stables where the horses where situated.
She grabbed Asfolath and quickly tacked him up.
"Arwen. Lady Arwen. What are you doing? You cannot ride in your condition. You cannot go. If you go, there is a high risk of death, of you and your child." The maid shouted as she was running to where Arwen was standing.
"I need to see him." Arwen replied
"Don't go Lady Arwen. This is a big mistake. I think Aragorn would rather wait to see his wife and child alive. Rather then see them sooner, dead."
"What do you know of my husband." Arwen quickly mounted her horse and let out a slight whimper in pain.
"Are you ok my lady?" The maid said rather concerned
"I.... I...I...am fine, just a slight pain that's all." Arwen stuttered trying to hide the hurt she felt inside her stomach.
"If you go I cannot say whether you shall return alive Arwen."
Arwen sat up high in the saddle and urged Asfolath to go forward. She squeezed his flank harder as to go faster.
"I have to catch him up Asfolath." Arwen spoke quietly to her horse
"Arwen. Arwen don't do this." The maid shouted in desperation. But it was to late Arwen has already rode away into the woods.
