Chapter 44 was hard for me to write. Two chapters up in one day. Aragorn is about to tell Frodo about his past.

Chapter 44

Aragorn's Confession


Aragorn and Frodo were near Farmer Maggot's Farm. There, Aragorn knew he had to tell Frodo about his past. Frodo on the other hand was going to ask Aragorn something that was going to be a heartful thing that anyone son-in-law would for his father-in-law.

(Frodo)

M'sieur, this is a day

I can never forget.

Is gratitude enough

For giving me Aria?

Your home shall be with us

And not a day shall past

But we will prove our love

To you, whom we shall call

A father to us both

A father to us all

(Aragorn)

Not another word, my son

There's something now that must be done.

You've spoken from the heart

And I must do the same

There is a story, sir,

Of slavery and shame

That you alone must know.

I never told Aria

She had enough tears

She's never known the truth

The story you must hear

Of years ago.

There lived a man whose name was Aragorn

He stole some bread to save his sister's son.

For nineteen winters served his time

In sweat he washed away his crime.

Years ago

He broke parole and lived a life apart

How could he tell Aria and break her heart?

It's for Aria this must be faced

If he is caught she is disgraced

The time has come to journey on

And from this day he must be gone

Who am I?

Who am I?

(Frodo)

You're Aragorn!

What can I do

That will turn you away from this?

M'sieur, you cannot leave.

Whatever I tell my beloved Aria

She will never believe!

(Aragorn)

Make her believe

I have gone on a jouney

A long way away.

Tell her my heart was too full for farewells

It is better this way.

Promise me, M'sieur,

Aria will never know...

(Frodo)

I give you my word.

(Aragorn)

...What I have spoken, why I must go.

(Frodo)

For the sake of Aria, it must be so.

"Thank you Frodo." Aragorn said with sadness in his voice. Then left to pack and leave the Shire and go back to Gondor.


There we go. Aragorn told Frodo everything about himself. Do you think Aria will be sad with this? Cosette was sad about it. You are going to find out in the next chapter. I hoped you all enjoyed.:)
