"I'm bored." Tricia stated as the two girls lay on their beds, staring at the ceiling.
"Me too." Holly replied as she looked out the window and out at the beautiful sunset. "I got and idea. Why don't we go to the training room and do some sparring!" She suggested with sudden enthusiasm. Tricia smiled and nodded. They jumped out of their beds, changed into some suitable clothes, and then grabbed their weapons.
"Do you know where it is?" Tricia asked.
"Not really, but I bet that if Eowyn's there then it's the sparring room." Holly replied. Her steps were long and sprung with excitement. She was only hoping that Theoden would notice their talents so that they could fight at Helm's Deep. They finally found Eowyn practicing her swordplay in a room that had a bunch of weapons hanging on the walls. "May we join you? We haven't really had any practice lately." Holly asked. The woman nodded and the two girls smiled. They decided to start with daggers, because it was all the two could spar against each other with. Eowyn watched with full interest at the two girls' fighting style. It was unlike any she had seen and it boggled her mind as to how they managed not to kill each other. After a few minutes Tricia knocked Holly's daggers from her hand and they stopped. Holly smiled, "I'm rusty. I've been using my sword too much." She said. They sat for a minute and then Holly stood back up. "Would you like to have a go?" She asked Eowyn. The older girl nodded and Holly smiled. She brought out her slim sword while Eowyn went for a somewhat larger one. Tricia shook her head. Holly was probably going to end up getting hurt, especially if she challenged a guard. Which she would if they didn't get to fight at Helm's Deep. She knew that Holly wanted to fight at Helm's Deep.to make sure that Boromir would still live, and that nothing would go seriously wrong. Tricia was more worried about Holly's safety though. Holly would most likely start off fighting well, and then she'd get cocky. That's usually when she'd slip up or something.and it could mean her life. Well, Tricia would fight as well.though she really didn't want to. She'd fight alongside her friend and make sure that they both made it through safe and sound.
"You fight well. Where did you learn?" Eowyn asked Holly as she dodged the younger girl's sword.
"No idea. We really don't remember what our lives were like before the fellowship found us. We were found unconscious with our weapons and after we awoke they tested our skill." Holly replied as she twirled to the right and blocked Eowyn's attack. "You see, we're all more or less talented at one particular thing. Though my skill is not my ability to wield a sword," She continued as she blocked another blow and gave a quick but unsuccessful counter attack. "It's the way I always seemed to know what my opponents next move will be." Holly finished. As she did, Eowyn thrust her sword forward. Holly knocked Eowyn's sword from her hand and into the air. She reached behind her and caught the sword. Eowyn panted and stared in wonder at the girl before her.
"So, you really are warriors. I admire your skill my lady." Theoden complimented as he walked into the room. Accompanied by Aragorn, Boromir, and Legolas.
"Thank you my lord." Holly replied as she handed Eowyn back her sword. "I must admit that Lady Eowyn's skill is very impressive. She was a formidable opponent." She finished. Theoden nodded.
"You should be in bed. It's quite late." Aragorn scolded the two girls as he walked forward.
"Yes father." Tricia said sarcastically. Holly giggled and the two of them left the room.
"Father?" Eowyn asked.
"She was only jesting." Legolas replied (a/n: Jesting-joking...in case u didn't know). Eowyn nodded, a slight smile forming on her lips.
"My skill is not my ability to wield a sword? Formidable opponent?" Tricia asked as they got back to their chamber.
"Yes father?" Holly shot back with a large grin. The two burst out into fits of laughter. "I'm sorry. The lingo around here must be rubbing off on me. You know how that happens."
"Yeah. Still, it was pretty funny." Tricia stated.
"Shut up." Holly laughed. They smiled at each other and then got ready to go to bed.
