"What kind of army would linger in such a place?" Gimli said from the back of Arod.
"One that is cursed," Legolas told them of the Men of the Mountain.
They dismount and walk up to the cave entrance, it has destinctive carvings in the side of the mountain.
"The way is shut. It was made by those who were dead, and the dead keep it. The way is shut." Legolas said.
A wind picked up, Arod and Brego spook and run off, Nithir only jumped, but he stayed close to Julie.
"Are you protecting me or am I protecting you?" Julie almost laughed when he bumped her.
'I don't know what your talking about,' He glared at her (thats if Unicorns glare), and took a step away from her.
"I do not fear death!" Aragorn marched into the cave, Legolas followed.
Gimli and Julie stayed behind.
"An Elf will go underground when a dwarf dare not! I'd never hear the end of it!" He ran to catch up.
"Wait for us here," Julie ran after them.
'Julie, wait!' Nithir dare not enter the cave. 'oh...'
He paced back and forward, tossing his head in with impatience. There are more whispers, Nithir stops and stares wide eyes into the cave. He reares when he hears the clang of two swords.
'Whats going on?' He stands looking into the cave.
Nithir becomes frightened when they run out and the cave starts to collasp. Julie jumps on Nithir.
"Come on, we have to catch up with the king, to tell the others we have reinforcements," She tells him.
Nithir gallops off, glad to get away from the place. When they come out of the mountain, they are gone. So he keeps running, he runnings down the winding road down the side of the mountain and to the valley were the camp had once been. There were only little clues that people had been there, the people of Rohan knew how to hide they're marks well.
"I hope your a good tracker," Julie says.
'Of course I am,' Nithir says and he starts to gallop, following they're trail.
They run for hours, Julie almost fell once when she lost her balance.
'They're horses are swift and fast, I haven't seen horses as fast as these,' He said. 'but they aren't as fast a me.'
"Nothing is as fast as you," Julie said.
Soon they cought up with them, Nithir was breathing rather hard for a Unicorn.
"My lord! King Theoden!" Julie shouted.
"Julie, where are the others?" Theoden asked her, he turned Snowmane around to face her.
"Aragorn and the other have called upon the Men of the Mountain for assistance, and he wanted me to tell you that all is well," She tryed her best to say it like Aragorn had.
"Good, this is good news you have given me," Theoden smiled.
"There is still hope left," She said.
They made their journy across the land to Gondor, when they reached the hill that looked over Minas Tirith they saw to their horror that the city was being attacked. The horn of Rohan sounded off, the orcs looked over their shoulders and saw the horse and riders. The Rohirrim charge down the hill and to the White City. The orcs look terrified and the stream of horses running towards them. Arrows fly into the air from the Orc archers, hitting several horses and riders. When that didn't stop them, the Orcs looked as if they were going to start running away.
They crashed into the Orc army, Julie was thankful they weren't in front. She stabbed Orcs from her position on Nithir as he canter through the mess of Orcs. They got to one that looked awful, Nithir slid to a stop when he didn't move. The Orc snatched a crossbow from a Orc who had just been shot with an arrow and shot at Nithir. Julie jumped off of him to fight the on coming Orcs.
Nithir charged at the Orc, his horn pointed at him, he thrust it the Orcs chest and focused on his magic. He pulled back and the Orc started to burn. Smoke sizzled from his body and then he went up in flames, he ran away, sqreeching in pain.
"AH!" He turned and saw Julie was ground, and a Orc was standing over her.
Nirhir raced to her and rambed into the Orc as he had his weapon raised.
"Driver them into the river!" Eomer yelled.
Theoden turned to looking towards the field of Pelennor, and there he saw larger than life Oliphaunts, with men aboard them.
"Reform the line! Reform the line! Sound the charge! Take them head on! Charge!" Theoden shouted to the Rohirrim.
Julie stood up and got back on Nithir.
"Oh my God," She said when she saw the large animals.
Nithir charged forward running with the others, dodging the feet and tuscus of the animals. Nithir raked his horn across the leg of one, the animal turned reared, then crumpled to the ground and turned to dust.
'Yeah!' Nithir was looking behind him as he ran.
"Nithir watch out!" Julie yelled.
He turned his head, an Oliphaunt was headed straight for them. Nithir tryed to dodge out of its way. He was hit with the tuscus just barely, but it sent him and Julie flying. They only went a few feet, but Nithir had suffered an injury from the spears on the tuscus.
"Nithir!" Julie crawled to him. "how bad is it?"
'Not to bad,' He stood up, staggering.
"Heal yourself," She stood.
'Unicorns can't heal themselves. We heal quicker, but I can do it with magic. No I can only heal others.' He said to her. 'get on, I can still carry you.'
Soon Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were there with the dead men. The battle of Palannor Fields was won that day. King Theodon was life was lost that day, but the Witch King of Angmar was defeated by Eoywn. Now they all stand before the army of the dead.
"Realus us," He says to Aragorn.
"Bad idea. Very handy in a tight spot, these lads, despite the fact they're dead." Gimli commented.
"You gave us your word," The Ghost King says.
"I hold your oath fullfilled, go, be at peace," Aragorn releases them.
After the council with Gandalf, they decide to go to the Black Gate to help Frodo and Sam. Aragorn saw that his adopted little sister wasn't there, so he went to look for her afterwards, before they left. He found her looking after Nithir in the stable.
"Is he ok?" He asked her.
"Yes, he'll be fine," Nithir stamped his hoof when Julie started to clean his wound.
'That hurts!'
"Yeah, he'll be fine," She finished cleaning it.
Aragorn went to the medicien cabnit that was hanging on the wall of the stable and brought out something that was in a bottle.
"We are going to the Black Gate, to draw Saruon's on us, to give Frodo a chance," He said and started to dab Nithir's wound with the liquid.
"What is that?" Julie asked.
"It will help the healing process," He told her.
'That hurts!' Nithir turned and nipped Aragorn on the arm.
"Ouch!" Aragorn looked at him hard, Julie laughed at the two. "so you are well enough to fight Nithir?"
'Of course I am! Just because I have a small injury, doesn't mean I'm not capible of fighting!' He praticlly yelled, then started mumbling.
"You didn't want me to go with you into the mountain, but your going to let me go fight with you?" Julie questioned.
"I can't make you stay," He said.
