Chapter 3

Feeling the sun on my face again is wonderful.

It is the night after the battle of helms deep and surprisingly it looked like we had come through and the people of my city can go on with there lives.

I run towards Aragorn as I see his face appear. He looks tired and grubby but that does not matter. He is safe.

"Eowyn," he says to me thorough his joy. I think he I glad to see me.

"How are you?" I ask him. I'm worried. He had only just returned form his fall last night, he should have been resting.

"I will survive," he reassures me.

Walking on through the crowd on to wear I find my uncle and to my great joy, brother. He was home.

"Eomer!" I cry out as I fling my arms round him and hold on tot him tight. Despite our age gap on five years we got on well a lot of the time. We had just one major disagreement and that was of course me going to war.

"Eowyn!" he sighs on my shoulder. Apart from the days our parents died I don't think we have ever been gladder to be together.

"You are ok?" I asked fear in my voice. He had been in the wilderness of rohan. He might not of slept or eat in days.

"I am safe sister dearest!" he says. Well, he is trained for this sort of thing.

"Uncle," I said turning to King Theoden whom welcomed me with open arms.

"I am fine sister-daughter," he said as I lean in to his chest.

If I had my will now I would see just one other man.

Grima.

I wondered if he was well, and if he was safe. I wondered so much about he whom betrayed us.

Shutting all thoughts of him out of my mind I looked back to my liege who was ordering around men, getting back to thee heart of the Riddermark was now our aim.

"What duty would have me do my lord?"

His eyes turned soft and a smiled played on my uncle's lips as he took one of my hands, still in the growing darkness that would soon befall us finding time for me.

"I would have you lead our people back to our city, Eowyn."

"Where are you going uncle?" I ask him. Is that not his job?

"I must go to the tower Orthanc," he said. Grima that was where he was!

"Can I come," I ask.

"No daughter! You must lead our people back for me!"
