The funeral was very sad, but Eowyn sang the loveliest song. I can not believe Théoden let those travelers (whose names I found out are Legolas the Elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Gandalf the Wizard, and Aragorn the Man) come to the funeral! I have heard rumors that Aragorn is one of the Dunadain, a decedent of Numanor, though this cannot be true for the Dunadain are just legends... or are they? There are many rumors about Aragorn, some say he is a descendant of Elendil and heir to the throne of Gondor. Some also say that he brings with him Narsil, the blade that cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand. My mother would be appalled, for that is surely her favorite word, if she learned I am writing things about the Dark Lord and rumors I have heard. But how else am I, a fourteen year old girl, supposed to know what is going on in Rohan, no one ever tells me anything unless it's "Aria, sit up strait" or "Aria, have some manners" or some other foolish thing like that. I am almost to the marriable age and people always want me to act like an adult, but how am I supposed to act like someone I am not?! Oh well, what way I saying? Oh yes, rumors about the travelers. I hear that they where companions to the bearer of the One Ring, this ring bearer is going to Mordor to destroy the ring. Now you may wonder how I know of such things, I am food friends with Eowyn niece to King Théoden. She over hears most of the King's meetings with the travelers. She understands how I feel, always being left out, so she tells me some things she hears, she knows that I can keep a secret when asked to do so. And since I am writing secrets in the book I must find a place to hide it. I will ponder where I can hide this, farewell.
