Last Chapter:

In the healing room, Eowyn and Alejandro stood next to each other, looking out the balcony to the land before them.

"The city has fallen silent. There is no warmth left in the sun. It grows so cold." Eowyn whispers, frowning a bit.

"It's just he damp of the first spring rain." Alejandro says, looking over at the sky, than back to Eowyn, who also looks at him. "I do not believe this darkness will endure."

Smiling, Alejandro takes hold of Eowyn's hand, and brings her into a hung, kissing her forehead.

"Everything will be all right, this I can tell you right now, mi amor." (my love.)

It took the small army couple days but those of Rohan, Gondor, Rivendell, and Lothlorien turned the corner to see the Black Gates of Mordor. The Men all line up behind the Fellowship and the two new kings, waiting for some instructions. They all stare at the gate, afraid of what might be waiting for them behind it. But after waiting for almost half an hour, the Men were getting impatient and restless.

"Where are they?" Merry asks in a whisper.

Growing impatient, Aragorn rides forward. Gandalf, Legolas, Eomer, Ailish, Haldir, Alejandra, Damon, Faramir, and a soldier bearing the flag of Gondor followed him. They stopped a few feet away from the foul gate, all looking up. Aragorn speaks as loud as he could so they would hear him.

"Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth! Let justice be done upon him!"

All is quiet for a few minutes, which felt like a few eerie hours to those who were scared. The gates than start to creak to an open. A lone figure rides forward, clad in black spikes, as was the horse. It wore a helmet that covered his whole face except for a line that seemed to be it's mouth.

"My master," the Mouth said in a sly voice. "Sauron the Great, bids thee welcome."

As he spoke, the group saw yellow, black sharp, long teeth. Although Aragorn seemed calm, inside he felt disgusted and wanted to vomit both from the creature and the stench.

"Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?" The Mouth asks.

"We do not come," the Mouth turns to Gandalf. "To treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed." The Mouth snarls at him, showing it's teeth. "Tell your master this: The armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return."

The Mouth scoffs. "Old Greybeard. I have a token I was bidden to show thee."

The Mouth grabs something in front of him and holds it up. The group saw it was Frodo's mithril shirt. Everyone but Damon, Faramir, Haldir, Eomer, Alejandra, and Ailish eyes widen, as Pippin whispers in fear.

"Frodo."

The Mouth throws the shirt to Gandalf harshly. Pippin, who was sitting behind Gandalf, looked at it in disbelieve.

"Frodo!" Pippin whispers.

"Silence!" Gandalf told the young Hobbit, looking down at him.

"No." Merry whispers. "No! No!" He almost yelled.

"Silence!" Gandalf turned to Merry, yelling at him sharply.

The Mouth smiles. "The Halfling was dear to thee, I see."

"Bullshit!" Both Ailish and Alejandra yell at the same time.

Everyone and the Mouth turned to them.

"He's not dead!" Ailish tells them.

"You took that from one of your damn Orcs who wanted it to give it to your master." Alejandra yelled at him, glaring at the Mouth.

The Mouth smiles towards them. "Than you must know that he suffered greatly at the hands of his host."

"You wish you bastard!" Ailish glared at him. The Mouth turns to her, snarling. "You know very well that you have lost Frodo out in that land of yours. And your master is pissed off at you."

"One so small could endure so much pain, but if it is he, the pain means nothing!" Alejandra in a firm voice.

"Yes," the Mouth says slowly. "But what would you know? You flee from your home as things became too great for you to handle."

Ailish and Alejandra turn their heads, holding back their tears. Guilt filled their heart and mind.

"Than a loved one betrayed you!"

Ailish holds her reins tightly, as Alejandra's shoulders start to shake, wanting the thing to stop talking. But the Mouth only continues.

"And you have loved ones here, and for that you cannot go home to close the portal."

Ailish and Alejandra look up sharply to the vial creature.

"Oh yes, I know of this portal. For it was my master who opened it and sent an army to your world, which should now be in ruins. You have nothing left back there. You have all seen loved ones die by the hand of our men. You will not survive."

Having heard enough, Aragorn rides forward, the Mouth tilting his head at him.

"Who is this? Isildur's heir?" The Mouth teases. "It takes more to make a king than a broken Elvish blade."

Aragorn quickly takes Elendil out and yells as he swings it around to cut off the Mouth's head. Gimli nods in satisfaction but states all that is in everyone's mind.

"I guess that concludes negotiations."

Aragorn rides in front of his friends, looking at them. "I believe what Ailish and Alejandra has said. I do not believe the rest that Mouth said. And neither should you two. For what he said is not true of your homeland. I will not!"

Aragorn than turns Brego as the gates open once more. Orcs ready to fight walk forward.

"Pull back. Pull back!" Aragorn tells his friends as they ride back to the army.

The soldiers see the thousands of armies coming their way and took a few steps back, fear consuming their being. Aragorn sees this and rides faster towards the Men, knowing this will not be his end or theirs.

"Hold your ground! Hold your ground." Aragorn yells, riding to his right.

The future king slows his horse to a trot and makes his way towards the center, looking over the Men as he begins his speech that suddenly came to him. Those who were on horses dismount and slap them away from the danger that was to come soon.

"Sons of Gondor… of Rohan… of Elven kin… my brothers!"

The Men step forward, their fears still in them but no less. They wait for their future king to what he has to say. With their eyes the Men watch Aragorn ride back and forth in front of them.

"I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men-"

"And women." Alejandra and Ailish mumbled together.

Those around them who heard the girls smiled, shaking their heads.

"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-"

"And women." Ailish, Alejandra, Damon, and Faramir said a bit loudly, but Aragorn only continues.

"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-"

"And women!" Ailish, Alejandra, Damon, Faramir, Legolas, Haldir, and Eomer shout out, startling some of the men around them.

But Aragorn ignored them and continued with his speech.

"Of the West!"

Aragorn holds up Elendil, as does all of the Men and Elves, may it be swords or daggers. They face the Orcs and Evil Men that is now near them. Twenty minutes pass when the enemy surrounds the small army, smiling and laughing believing they will kill them quickly.

"Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf… Or women for that matter." Gimli mutters, leaning on his ax in front of him.

Ailish and Alejandra roll their eyes as the two women and Legolas answer to his mumble.

"What about side by side with a friend?" The trio looks down to the dwarf for an answer.

Gimli looks up at them and smile, nodding. "Aye. I could do that."

All is silent, no one attacking or speaking. The Eye of Sauron upon a black tower makes his light towards the army, focusing on Aragorn. Whispers start to form within Aragorn's head, trying to pursing him to be on their side.

"Aragorn."

Aragorn frowns and walks forward slowly, lowering Elendil to his side. As he does so, both Gandalf and Legolas watch him with concern.

"Elessar."

Aragorn brings Elendil to his side. As slowly as he could, Aragorn turns around, Gandalf watching him for any kind of change. Aragorn smiles faintly, as he whispers.

"For Frodo."

Bringing Elendil to his side once more, Aragorn yells out a battle cry and runs forward. Pippin mimics Aragorn and yells as well, along with Merry, as they both run forward. Gandalf yells and the fellowship runs forward followed by the army. Merry and Pippin are soon lost within the Humans and Elves, their short legs not fast enough.

Legolas and Alejandra shot their arrows before switching to their swords and daggers when they got close enough. Aragorn who was the first to reach the enemy hits down on the enemy's weapon, turn, and slice down on the enemy, killing it.

The Fellowship were soon scattered about the thousand army of the enemy, as were the two best friends. They tried to stick together but the enemy only continues to advance on them in great numbers. But even within the confusion, the friends somehow were able to aid another close by. A great number of the enemy has decreased but even so the army was becoming lower and lower in number, making it harder for them to throw back the enemy.

But not too long into the battle, seven Nazgul each bearing a Ringwraith of their own flew down towards them. Gandalf, Ailish, Haldir, and Damon all look up in horror, knowing that their numbers will finally decrease miracously no thanks to those foul creatures. The lead Nazgul screeches it's awful sound, grabbing most to the armies attention.

Gandalf stops killing at the enemy and looks over to it, dread and fear within in his eyes. Yet hope was welcomed as a moth flies past him slowly. Gandalf watches it slowly, and looks up in time to see an eagle stop the foul creature before it could have ever strike. Pippin sees this and whispers to himself in a bit of disbelieve.

"Eagles." Knowing this was true; Pippin starts to yell, giving hope to others. "The eagles are coming!"

As the others look up just briefly they caught five more eagles coming to fight off the Nazgul's. But then something caught Ailish attention and turned around. The light from Sauron's Eye moves away from the battle and directs it towards the entrance of Mount Doom. As it this happens, the Ringwraith screeches and turns the Nazgul's around towards Mount Doom.

Seeing this happening, Gandalf wanders what was happening and turns to meet Ailish's stern look within her eyes. She knew what was happening and knew was to come. Nodding to one another, Ailish and Gandalf was again return to the fight, killing as much of the enemy as possible.

Not too far from Alejandra, Aragorn stabs an Orc, buttheads another and swings his sword around. A deep roar is sounded behind the future king as the ground shakes from a creature behind him, making him stop. Looking from the corner of his eye, Aragorn slowly turns around, dreading what he was to see.

A troll in full body armor walks towards him, raising his weapon high in the air. Aragorn blocks it's attack but he couldn't withhold the troll's strength and staggers a few steps back. The troll throws Aragorn back a few feet away, Aragorn hitting the ground and going unconscious for a few seconds.

Legolas sees this and tries to get to him but too many people and Orc's were in his way. Seeing the Prince of Mirkwood's reaction, Alejandra turns in the direction he was facing and sees Aragorn shaking his head moving to his back, standing quickly. Alejandra makes her way towards him, slicing down on the enemy and pushing the Men away from her.

Legolas pushes an Orc out of his way and grabs an arrow but was not able to get it out of his quiver as a few men bump into him.

"Aragorn!" Legolas yells, trying to get to his friend.

The troll growls and pushes Aragorn to the floor with his foot and holds him there. Alejandra just sliced the last Orc between her and the troll and brings her sword down on to the troll's leg on top of Aragorn. The troll's roars in pain as Aragorn takes out a dagger and slices across the troll's leg as will.

In less then the hour they have been there fighting, everything seemed to slow down for both the enemy and the army of Men and Elves. The Eye of Sauron begins to quiver as something beyond the Black Gates happened. The troll was ready to strike down on both Aragorn and Alejandra when a whistling coming from it's master stops him and turns. Seeing what is happening to it's master, the troll, as several other Orcs, Evil Men, and other alliances, turns and starts to run for their life.

By now, everyone was watching Mount Doom and the tower which the Eye of Sauron sat upon. Dark clouds circle over Sauron's Eye, his tower crumbling down to the ground. Most of the Men and Elves have tears within their eyes, the joy of the evil and chaos finally coming to an end.

Sauron's Eye narrows to a thin strip of fire red, then blows up to nothing. An invisible force fields blows the tower into pieces as it also makes it's way towards the group. Merry thrusts his sword to the air, yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Frodo! Frodo!"

The ground which the foul creatures stood upon begun to open up, the Earth swallowing them from whence they came. The Earth opened all the way until where the Men and the Elves stood. The enemy that was not near the crack and falling into the abyss, they begun to flee, not wanting to deal with what they started.

The Black Gates fall and crumble down to the Earth as well, when Mount Dooms starts to erupt, everyone watching in horror. Lava spills all around the mountain, making it impossible for anyone to escape it. Rocks begin to blow from the mountain, hitting the Nazgul's and the Ringwraith's. The Fellowship let the tears now of concern and disbelieve down their cheeks, wondering what happened to the two Hobbits that had to destroy the Ring alone.

Pippin falls to his knees, crying, while whispering at the same time.

"Frodo."

But even with all the commotion, Alejandra feels a familiar feeling full of pain and dizziness, as her vision become glaze over with a white mist. She falls to her knees, dropping her weapons so she was able to grab her head. Ailish and Eomer run towards her, wondering what it was she was seeing.

The two Hobbits are inside the mountain as it starts to erupt, the lava inside thrashing about and over flowing. Sam grabs Frodo and they race down the path towards the entrance, the bridge falling beneath them. Once outside, the two moves to the left just as lava spat out with much heat, the two Hobbits were burning up. Sam threw Frodo on top of a rock, just as Sam jumped next to his friend before the lava could touch him.

I'm not afraid of anything

I just need to know that I can breathe,

I don't need much of anything,

But suddenly, suddenly,

I am small and the world is big,

All around me is fast moving,

Surrounded by so many things,

But suddenly, suddenly,

They stand a bit shakily and wobble their way further up on the rock. Sam leans forward as Frodo stands and looks at the lava around them, tears begging to form.

"It's gone." Frodo whispers more to himself then his friend.

Sam looks up at him, wondering what he was talking about yet at the same time knew.

"It's done."

"Yes, Mr. Frodo. It's over now."

How does it feel to be,

Different from me?

Are we the same?
How does it feel to be,

Different from me?

Are we the same?

How does it feel?

I am young and I am free,

But I get tired and I get weak,

I get lost and I can't sleep,

But suddenly, suddenly,

The two Hobbits make their way up further on the rock and lie down. Frodo close his eyes, wondering back to the past. Back to his homeland and all those he cared about deeply. Sam's mind wonder back to a soft bed, good food, and the people he cared about around him, laughing, talking, singing songs, telling tales of what they did when they parted.

How does it feel to be,

Different from me?

Are we the same?
How does it feel to be,

Different from me?

Are we the same?

How does it feel?

Would you comfort me?

Would you cry with me?

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

"I can see the Shire." Frodo suddenly says, catching Sam's interest. "The Brandywine River. Bag End. Gandalf's fireworks. The lights in the Party Tree."

Sam cries, looking at the lava flowing down the mountain's sides.

"Rosie Cotton dancing."

Frodo's eyes open to slits at his friend's longing words.

"She had ribbons in her hair. If I ever I was to marry someone…" Sam nods his head, a faint smile upon his lips. "It would've been her." Frodo looks over to Sam as he cries harder. "It would've been her."

I am small and the world is big,

But I'm not afraid of anything,

How does it feel to be,

Different from me?

Are we the same?
How does it feel to be,

Different from me?

Are we the same?

Are we the same?

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Frodo sits up and hugs Sam, regretting that all this has happened and that he had to drag along his friends with him.

"I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee." Frodo tells his friend truthfully, crying along with him. "Here at the end of all things."

How does it feel?

You're different from me, different,

How does it feel?

How does it feel?
You're different from me, different.

Alejandra looks up at everyone's concern face. She sees that Gandalf was waiting the most anxious to tell them what it was that she saw. Hope bore into his eyes, gripping his staff as hard as he could.

"Frodo and Sam are safe." Relief watched everyone who knew the two Hobbits. "They are on top of a rock.

The army rode back towards Minas Tirith as Gandalf sat upon the elder of the eagles and ride towards Mount Doom to find the two Hobbits. Once back to the White City, the army, may they have been weary and hungry, begun to help clean up the city to make sure it was as it was before the Kings of old have been lost and forgotten, and before the war of the One Ring started. When Gandalf returned with two unconscious Hobbits, they were immediately treated and put into two different rooms to rest.

Alejandro, Alejandra, and Ailish spent one day in the middle of Pelennor, saying a prayer and a goodbye to Saul, even hey betrayed them for his own greediness. The Fellowship, Eomer, Faramir, Eowyn, Damon, and Haldir were also there, paying respect to the ones who have lost their lives.

The two cousins and friend held each a red and white rose in their hands, their eyes close. When the two cousins finished their prayer, they took hold of the petals from each of the roses with one hand and tore it off the stem. They threw the stem to the floor and waited for a breeze from behind. When it came, they stretched out their arm and opened their hand, letting the combine colored petals fly towards the now ruin Mordor.

They begun to walk away, telling the others to leave Ailish alone fro a while. Thought, neither Damon nor Faramir left, not wanting to leave the girl alone.

A lone tear fell down Ailish's cheek, making her take a shuddering breath. Opening her eyes, Ailish looked up towards the sky, the wind blowing softly from behind.

'You always wanted things your own way, Saul. Never once they you think of others or the consequences. And now look what happened. I had to kill you because you wanted me and Faramir dead. You knew I did not return your feelings. I saw you as a friend and nothing more.'

Ailish let out a small sob and wiped her tears away. Looking down to the two roses, Ailish tore the petals off, threw the stems to the floor and stretched out her arm, looking at the other petals that were stuck on the ground.

"…Goodbye…" She whispered, letting the petals go.

The combine colored petals flew in circles, apart from one another, then together before disappearing into the wind. Turning her back, Ailish started walking back towards the White City, her brother on her left and the love of her life on her right.

Many people of Minas Tirith had a hard time to recover, and a long time, but they were going on about their life as normal as they could. Many injured people have been healed and where running about, helping restore the city once more.

A few days past and Frodo finally woke up to sunlight streaming down on him. He sits up on the large bed and is shocked to see Gandalf in front of him, smiling.

"Gandalf?" Frodo asks in disbelieve, wondering if it was a dream.

Gandalf smiles widely, nodding. They both begun to laugh at an unknown joke they have long for to tell one another. Merry and Pippin opened the door when they heard laughter and yelled out Frodo's name. They run towards the bed and jump up on it, the three Hobbits jumping up and down, laughing and smiling. Gimli comes in next, arms wide open and laughs.

"Gimli." Frodo cries out and looks up to see Legolas walking into the room as well, smiling.

Aragorn soon follows his friend afterwards, followed by Alejandro, Alejandra, and Ailish. They all stand next to Gandalf, looking at Frodo. Sam slowly walks in, cautiously to see what was to happen.
