Aragorn awoke to the sound of hooves on the earth. He drew his sword and looked next to him and noticed his friend Halbarad had done the same. They both stood ready and alert for whatever was coming towards them. Suddenly, up rode a white mare with a dark haired elf riding it. Aragorn and Halbarad sheathed their swords.
Aragorn walked forward and greeted the elf who got off his horse.
"Aragorn? Halbarad? Is that you two?" the elf asked.
"Sindarandir? What are you doing here?" Aragorn asked.
"The Lord of Imladris has sent me bearing a message." Sindarandir spoke proudly. "He says that you both must return to Rivendell at once."
"May we ask why?" Halbarad asked the elf.
"Well, Lord Elrond did not tell me exactly, but I can guess. There is a school that is being started, and many peoples all over Middle-Earth will be going there. Most likely Lord Elrond is going to wish you to go." He said
"What kind of a school exactly?" said Aragorn.
"Good question. No one is really sure. But everyone is going. I am, Elrond's children are, the Lords of Elrond's house, at least the ones under 6,000 years. Elrond himself will be teaching there, and Mithrandir and many others."
"So Elves are going to this school as well?" Aragorn asked.
"And Men… together?" Halabarad asked.
"Yes." Said Sindarandir.
Halbarad turned to Aragorn. "What do you say Aragorn? Should we go?" Aragorn shrugged.
"Sure. Why not?" he said.
"Great! Lets go then. Do you two have horses?" the dark haired elf asked.
"Of coarse." Said Aragorn. He and Halbarad then whistled a tune and their horses came galloping up. Aragorn and Halbarad then turned and gathered up their things, loaded them onto their horses and they hopped onto heir horses and the 3 of them headed off towards Imladris.
As they rode, Sindarandir told them of all the things that had happened since Halbarad had fetched Aragorn from Rivendell to come work with the Dunadain as their captain.
"Well, Elladen and Elrohir have set up new defenses with the Elves of Mirkwood to watch over Moria to keep any more horrid things from creeping in there. Er, lets see…oh yes, Elrond's daughter, Lady Arwen Undomiel has returned from the wood of Lothlorien. Um…" but Sindarandir was interrupted by Aragorn.
"What? Elrond has a daughter?" he asked.
"Yes. But you wouldn't know that of coarse. She has been in the woods with her grandmother, Lady Galadriel, since before you were born." He said.
"Oh." Aragorn said. They traveled for a few days and then they reached the Ford. Halbarad looked over at Aragorn, who had a smile on his face. As the crossed the Ford and entered the gates of Imladris, Aragorn took a deep breath in.
"Ah. Its good to be home."
