Chapter 9
As I finished the last of my water, Aragorn excused himself and told me to get comfortable once I was through. I took off my cloak and sat down. It was slightly chilly so I draped the cloak over my lap. When Aragorn returned, he had a couple heavy-looking books. He sat and opened up one book. He skimmed through the pages and sighed as he stopped.
"Éowyn, have you ever seen this?" There was a drawing of a tall, slender girl with long hair. "Er, no," I answered. He sighed again and told me to read the page.
"Out of the darkness shall rise,
One whose power will challenge the sky.
A woman bred out of purity and strength,
Whose name will come from the one she loved first.
In secret she'll show her skill foremost,
But soon she'll be needed to aid the Ghost."
"Aragorn, this makes no sense. Tell me what you're getting at!"
He looked at me with sad eyes. "Éowyn, this is a prophecy." I read it again. I looked up at his face for answers. "…about you."
My eyes widened, but I didn't want to say anything, fearful for how my voice would sound.
"'Out of the darkness' the War—"
"Which is over!"
"Yes, but listen! 'A woman bred out of purity and strength,' you're royal, 'the one she loved first,' Éowyn means horse-joy, 'in secret she'll show her skill,' you were disguised when you killed the Witch-King."
"But who is the Ghost?"
"One name I've been given is the Ghost of Isildur. I need your help, Éowyn to rebuild the world." I sat in silent shock. Suddenly, I knew what I had to do.
"I think I'm going to be sick!" I said.
