Sam's Thoughts
Elvish translations
Last chapter
"Fight for us, and regain your honour. What say you?" he continued as he walked through the dead soldiers.
"What say you?"
"You waste your time Aragorn. They have no honour in life, they have none now in death" Gimli stated.
But he ignored the dwarf and pointed his sword at the dead.
"I am Isildur's heir. Fight for me, and I will hold your oaths fulfilled. What say you!"
The dead King finally nodded his agreement.
They stopped the boats that were to take Gondor from behind and killed the inhabitance, or rather the dead kill the inhabitance. They all hid as they sailed into port behind the city.
"Late as usual! Pirate scum! There's knife work here that need doing! Come on, you sea-rats. Get off your ships!" One of the Orcs yelled at them not knowing that they weren't the people they expected.
Aragorn jumped off the boat, followed by the other three.
"There are plenty for the all of us. May the best dwarf win." Gimli said.
"Nay the best woman." Sam corrected before running towards the orcs
As they ran forward the Dead appeared behind them, and smothered the orcs before they knew what was going on.
They then saw how bad the battle was going for the race of man. There were 10's of thousands of orcs and only a few thousand men. But now that the Dead were there the odds looked better.
Legolas wasted no time climbing onto the back of one of the Oliphants (SP??) and killing the huge animal.
"That only counts as one." Gimli shouted; once he got over the shock of the elf bring down the gigantic beast. He then back to fighting.
Off to one side of them Sam could see another of the Elephant-like creatures being brought down by the dead army.
She watched as the Death swept through the white city, cleansing it of the orc menace. Over to one side she saw Eowyn sitting next to a body crying. Sam went over to the woman and saw that it was Théoden who had died.
Kneeling next to the weeping woman, she wrapped her arms around her and whispered comforting words if her ear.
When Eowyn had calmed down she helped the woman up and they both worked to remove the dead horse from his masters' body then carried the dead king into the city.
They later sat in the throne room of Minas Tirith. Gimli was smoking in the Stewards chair, while Sam sat on the stairs up to the Kings Throne. The rest were standing nearby.
"Frodo has passed beyond my sight. The darkness is deep." Gandalf said grimly.
"If Sauron had the Ring, we would know it." Aragorn said trying to encourage the Istari.
"It's only a matter of time. He has suffered a defeat, yes, but, behind the walls of Mordor our enemy is regrouping."
"Let him stay there. Let him rot! Why should we care?" Gimli said around his pipe.
"Because 10,000 orcs now stand between Frodo and Mount Doom. I've sent him to his death." Gandalf snapped.
"No. There's still hope for Frodo. He needs time, and safe passage across the plains of Gorgorath. We can give him that." Aragorn said
"How?" Gimli asked.
"Draw out Sauron's army. Empty his lands. We will gather our full strength and march on the Black Gate."
Gimli started to choke on the smoke he had just inhaled.
"We cannot achieve victory through strength of arms." Eomer said shaking his head.
"Not for ourselves, but we can give Frodo a chance if we keep Sauron's eye fixed upon us -- keep him blind to all else that moves." Aragorn continued.
"A diversion." Legolas stated.
"Sauron will suspect a trap. He will not take the bait." Gandalf said.
"Certainty of death, small chance of success. What are we waiting for?" Gimli stated.
Not long after that they were all riding out of the city towards Mordor. Aragorn had changed into the armour of Gondor finally accepting that he was king. Leading his people into battle.
Well at least I will be able to see why Galadriel was so put out by the 'Gate being in Mordor.
Merry was once again seated on the horse with Sam except this time he was behind her rather then in front. Pippin was now riding with Gandalf.
They stopped a short distance from a large Black Gate.
"Where are they?" Pippin asked.
Aragorn, Legolas, Gandalf, Gimli, Eomer and Sam follow him along with a Gondorian bearing the king's banner.
"Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth! Let justice be done upon him!" Aragorn yelled.
(A/N in the movie if you look at the Hobbit, it is the size doubles not the actors. Sorry just had to say that. Just random old me.)
As the Black Gate started to open they could hear the orcs shouting as they streamed out of Mordor.
"Fall back! Fall back!" Aragorn called to the people who had ridden up with him.
As the Orcs started to surround the troops Aragorn turned to the men and rode up and down their ranks.
"Hold your ground! Hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down. But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth. I bid you stand, Men of the West!"
The men all cheered and drew their swords.
"I never thought I'd die, fighting side-by-side with an elf." Gimli said.
"What about side-by-side with a friend?" Legolas asked.
"Aye, I could do that." Gimli nodded.
Sam took the moment to lean over to Legolas an give him a kiss.
"If we die today then know that I Love you and always will." She said, before kissing him again.
"As do i. May we meet again in the Halls of Mandos." He replied. Then they both turned their attention back to the orcs that surrounded them.
They all dismounted their horses and Aragorn turned to them all smiling.
"For Frodo." He said before charging towards the orcs. Followed without hesitation by the two hobbits then everyone else behind them.
The ran into the orcs and the battle continued.
Then Pippin called out.
"Eagles! The eagles are coming!"
Sam looked up to see the biggest birds she had ever seen, swooping at the Nazgul in the air.
Sam looked around her and saw that Aragorn was being attacked by a troll and was pinned to the ground under it's foot. She ran towards Aragorn to help him but the troll suddenly looked up then ran off, leaving Aragorn free to get up and continue fighting. Everone on the battlefield stopped fighting and looked towards the tower inside of Mordor. Which to her surprise started to collapse of no apparent reason. The Giant red eye on top of the tower soon hit the ground and exploded, sending a giant shockwave around it causing the ground to collapse under all the orcs.
"Frodo, Frodo!" Merry yelled over the noise grinning to his ears.
But the smile quickly vanishes when the Volcano erupted spilling Lava all over the land of Mordor.
"Frodo!" Pippin cried falling to his knees.
Gandalf ran over to one of the eagles that had landed and quickly said something to it before climbing on it's back and taking off, followed by two more of the giant birds.
(A/N sorry I know this is a terrible chapter. Plz forgive me.)
