----------------------------------

I remembered my home but I knew I could not go back. After the White Mountains come to an end there lies Minas Tirith better known as the City of Kings. Minas Tirith, was where I grew up. The city it built with seven levels of white stone. The guards, which wore all black with silver helmets, were a site to see. The White Tree had been a symbol from Isildur, son of Elendil, who saw his father die on the battle field.

Denethor, son of Ecthelion is the Steward of Gondor now.

"Alisa…" I heard a voice say, breaking through my thoughts. The thought of going home banished and I stared at Legolas who was next to me. "Ready to go…"

-------------------------------------

I got up on my horse and was next to Legolas, who had Gimli behind him. Aragorn was ahead with King Théoden.

"Now is the hour, Riders of Rohan, oaths you have taken! Now, fulfill them all! To Lord and Land!" Eomer yelled to everyone.

-------------------------------

The ride wasn't that long to Dunharrow, where the armies would all be camping at. Where I was suppose to stay back. Could I let Legolas, Aragorn and Gimli go on with out me?

"We will stay here for a while," Aragorn said coming up to us. He mounted off of his horse, and so did Legolas, Gimli and I. Someone took our horses and brought then away to a stable. But the men where having trouble with the horses. Legolas walked up to Eomer who was standing near us, and I followed.

"The horses are restless...and the men are quiet." Legolas said to him.

"They grow nervous in the shadow of the mountain…" Eomer said, and as he said it Legolas and I looked toward the White Mountains. I was so close to home I could feel it.

"That road there; where does that lead?" Gimli asked.

"It is the road to the Dimholt; the door under the mountain." Legolas explained.

"None who venture there ever return, That mountain is evil…" Eomer explained.

"Why is it evil..." but no one answered, they watched Aragorn walk to the split of the mountain. Maybe it was only me but I saw something green flicker and then disappear.

"Aragorn," I yelled. "Lets find some food…Gimli looks hungry." I said trying to get him away. He came to us and we began to walk away. I stopped and stared at the entrance again to see if I saw anything.

"Come Alisa, do not want to go in there," Legolas said pulling onto my arm.

"But I…" and then stopped. "Nothing come on lets go…"

---------------------------------------

I looked at Legolas sitting down on the ground with a bowl in his hand.

The hammer may strike, be dead on the ground.
a net to my hand, a cross on his crown.

"Tell him," Gimli said coming up behind him. I looked at the dwarf once more and decided I must tell him, before he went off again. I stood up and made my way over to Legolas, taking a deep breathe first. I sat down next to him and Legolas turned and smiled at me.

"Legolas," I said looking into his blue eyes. "There is something I wanted to tell you before you went off again."

"What is it Alisa," he said. Could I really tell him that I loved him? What would he say?

"Legolas I…..I" I stuttered. No I couldn't tell him. He would laugh at me. How could he love mortal women?

"Never mind." I stood up and walked away.

"No," Gimli said pushing me back towards him. Legolas saw me coming with Gimli behind and he stood up. I had to do it. If he laughed I would never see him again anyways.

"LegolasIloveyou," I said as fast as I could, but I knew he heard what I said. I heard Gimli behind me laugh slightly but stopped when I turned around and glared at him.

"Sorry," he said and walked off. I turned around slowly and faced Legolas. I couldn't look him in the eye; instead I looked to the ground. I felt him come up to me and lift my chin up so I was looking into his eyes.

"I had loved you Lady Alisa the first time I laid my eyes upon you," he whispered. I was shocked! He loved me back! A smile grew upon my lips, but no one could see it because he kissed me. My arms went around his neck and my hands stroked his hair. His hands lay gently upon my waist, until they wrapped tightly around and the kiss deepened. I didn't care who was watching. I had found my prince.

We belong together
like the open seas and shores

I couldn't sleep in my tent that night. It was right next to Legolas tent and I still felt alone that I was not with him in his tent. I watched as a dark figure on a horse came up the mountain and go into a tent. I followed them and was surprised at what I saw.

"Lord Elrond," I said surprised. "What brings you here?"

"I am here to speak to your brother," he said. I saw that he had a sword with him, and I recognized what it was. Arwen had told me the story; she had showed the sword Andúril to me broken in pieces. I knew it belonged to Aragorn now.

"It is time, I know it, he knows it. Give him the sword of the king…" I told him

"I shall return Lord Elrond to Rivendell," I said and then took my leave and left as King Théoden came in.

-------------------------------

Aragorn came out of the tent a few minutes later and he went to get his horse Brego. I knew where he was going. Legolas walked up to me and saw Aragorn to, we all knew what he was doing.

"Just where do you think you're up to?" we heard Gimli say. Legolas grabbed his horses and walked over to them, but still out of sight.

"Not this time. This time you must stay, Gimli." Aragorn whispered.

"Have you learned nothing of the subbornness of dwarves?" Legolas said, with me standing next to him.

"You know not to argue with them," I added.

"Might as well accept it. We're going with you, laddie" Gimli said. Aragorn had no choice.

"What should I do Aragorn? You know Eowyn will fight. She will not go back to Rohan, I do not know the way myself." I said.

"You will come with us," he said.

"What?" I asked. "Into the mountain?"

"You will be safe with us. Stay close to Legolas…"
