Lady Lithoniel: Hi finally back with chapter 11. I can't believe how well this is going to be shorter then most of my chapters I think, but I need to check this idea with you guys. I'm thinking of doing a Faramir/OC, but I want your opinions first so please tell me in your reviews or e-mail me!

My POV

We saddled up our horses and prepared to leave for Isengaurd to see Merry, Pippin and Galadwen. I saw Legolas and Nostariel already on their horse and they were talking and laughing and I couldn't help, but smile. I leaped onto my horse and rode up next to Éomer and Aragorn.

"We ride to Isengaurd Ya!" Éomer said spurring his horse forward. We quickly followed suit. After a few hours of riding we saw the Black tower rising out of the distance, but something was different, there was a foul smell on the air and smoke was no longer rising from it. As we got closer we had to trudge through water, but the horses didn't seem to mind. Then we saw it. Isengaurd was flooded, just like in the movie! We walked in single file; I was behind the king and in front of Nostariel and Legolas. We stopped when we saw two small figures and one tall figure ahead and we saw it was the hobbits and Galadwen.

"Merry, Pippin, Galadwen!" I cried laughing.

"Welcome to Isengaurd my Lords and Ladies!" Merry said gesturing at the flooded land around him.

"You young rascals, a merry hunt you've led us on and now we find you feasting and, and smoking!" Gimli said causing us to grin. Even Galadwen took a few puffs from a pipe.

"We are sitting on a field of victory, enjoying a few well earned comforts!" Galadwen said smiling, "we're under orders form Treebeard who has taken over management of Isengaurd."

We told them to come with us. Galadwen got on Freyda with me and the hobbits went with Aragorn and Gandalf. We slowly rode up to Treebeard. I gasped in amazement he was even cooler in person!

"Young Master Gandalf, I'm glad you've come, wood and water stock ad stone I can master, but we have a wizard to manage here. Look to his tower." He rumbled pointing to Orthanc. We walked up to it and we spied Saruman at the top.

"Let's just have his head and be done with it!" Gimli grumbled.

"No we need him alive!" I said, "We need him to talk."

"You have fought many wars and slain many men Théoden King; can we not take council as we once did, my old friend, can we not have peace?" Saruman said and I snarled in disgust.

"We shall have peace." The King said quietly and we all turned to him, "we shall have peace when you answer for the burning of the west fold and the children that lie dead there! We shall have peace when the soldiers, who's bodies where hewn even as they lay dead against the gates of the Horn Burg are avenged! When you hang from the gibbet for the sport of your own crows we shall have peace!"

I smiled and nodded approvingly.

"Gibbets and crows! What is the house of Rohan, but drunken soldiers whose brats role on the floor with the dogs! Victory at Helms Deep does not belong to you Théoden horse master!" Saruman snapped back. Just then Grima peeked over the edge of the tower.

"Grima, you were not always as you are now. You were once a man of Rohan. Come down and be free of him!"

"Free? He will never be free!" Saruman said. Grima shook his head.

"No."

"You sniveling cur!" Saruman said striking him.

"Grima come down!" I called up. He really was pitiful and no one deserved to be stuck with Saruman. Maybe this time he'd be spared?

"Saruman talk and you will be spared!" Gandalf said trotting forward on Shadowfax..

"So it is information you have come for, I have some for you!" he said holding up the seeing stone, "Withdraw your guard and I will talk, I will not be kept prisoner here."

I looked away for a moment, I sensed something was going to happen, but I didn't know what. 'Maybe I could change some things in the story; I had always disagreed with some of the plot anyway.'

The next thing I knew a fireball had been shot down at Gandalf, but it did no damage. All of a sudden Saruman's staff exploded with a thunderous crack! I peered up and saw Grima preparing to stab Saruman. I was about cry out, but it was too late Saruman plummeted down and fell onto the spike. Legolas had loosed off his arrow and Grima fell to the ground, dead. 'Oh well' I sighed in my mind.

"Send word to all our allies. We need to know where Sauron will strike next!" Gandalf said. All of a sudden the spiked wheel the Saruman had fallen on started to turn and he slowly disappeared under water, but something fell out of his sleeve. Pippin jumped down off the horse and picked the smooth stone orb out of the water. Gandalf quickly took it from him and for good reason. We rode back to Edoras where the celebrations began. I was dressed in a long green dress with gold trim and a thin gold circlet around my head, Nostariel was dressed in blue and silver with a silver circlet, and Galadwen was dressed in a dark red dress. We laughed and danced with the others, it was so much fun! Then we decided to join Gimli and Legolas in a drinking game. Gimli was the first to fall, then Legolas shortly followed by Nostariel and Galadwen. I on the other hand was fine and I looked down at them grinning.

"I told you, you couldn't hold your liquor!" I grinned taking another sip of ale and earning me a few admiring glances. I walked off and saw Merry and Pippin singing and dancing on a table!

Oh you can search far and wide,
You can drink the whole town dry,
But you'll never find a beer so brown,
As the one we drink in our hometown.
You can keep your fancy ales,
You can drink them by the flagon,
But the only brew for the brave and true,

Pippin paused and looked at Gandalf, but then continued to sing.

Comes from the Green Dragon

I laughed and cheered with the rest, this was the most fun I've ever had! I wasn't paying attention when two small figures tried to get past me.

"Excuse us Milady." Merry said snapping me out of my reverie. Then I remembered something.

"Wait Pippin, Merry! I have something for you." I called and they came back. I bent down on one knee to get eye level with them. First I gave Pippin back his brooch.

"Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall!" I said, then I gave them back their daggers, I had found them in a few Uruk carcasses.

"I think you may find a use for these."

"Thank you Milady!"

"No trouble at all and please just call me Lithoniel."

I smiled and walked off. Later that night I was fast asleep next to my friends when I heard Aragorn get up. I opened my eyes, but narrowed them to slits as I watched Pippin take the seeing stone. He gazed at it in wonder when all of a sudden a look of pure terror crossed his face and the eye appeared in my mind again and this time the pain was stronger. Pippin screamed and I leapt up despite the pain and ran to him. I knocked the stone away from him and quickly grabbed a blanket and leapt on it covering it up.

"Fool of a Took!" Gandalf and I said at the same time. By this time everyone else had awoken. Pippin was still and his eyes were wide open. Gandalf clasped his hand and muttered a few words and he came to with a start.

"Gandalf?" he gasped.

"What did you see?" I asked him gently.

"Speak!" Gandalf said sharply, "what did you see?" he added gently.

"I saw a white tree in a court yard of stone…it was dead!" he answered with a look of horror, "all around the city was burning."

"Minas Tirith! Is that what you saw?" I said, for I had the same vision.

"I saw, I saw…him! He asked me my name, I didn't answer, he hurt me."

"What did you tell him of Frodo and the Ring?" Gandalf said.

"Nothing." Pippin said and he spoke no more. A few minutes later we all assembled in the golden hall.

"Pippin may be a fool, but an honest fool, he told Sauron nothing of Frodo and the Ring. We've been strangely fortunate. Pippin saw in the palantír a glimpse of the Enemy's plan. Sauron moves to strike the city of Minas Tirith. His defeat at Helm's Deep showed our enemy one thing. He knows the Heir of Elendil has come forth. Men are not as weak as he supposed. There is courage still…strength perhaps to challenge him. Sauron fears this. He will not risk the peoples of Middle-earth uniting under one banner. He will raze Minas Tirith to the ground before he sees a king return to the throne of Men. If the beacons of Gondor are lit, Rohan must be ready for war."

"Tell me why should we ride to the aid of those that did not come to ours?" the king said.

"I will go." Aragorn said.

"No!" Gandalf replied.

"But they must be warned."

"They will be." Gandalf said pulling Aragorn aside, "You must come to Minas Tirith by another road. Follow the river, look to the black ships. Understand this, things are now in motion that cannot be undone. I ride for Minas Tirith. And I won't be going alone."

"I will ride with you Gandalf for what Pippin saw was also in my mind!" I said. They all looked at me in surprise.

"Very well, Pippin you will ride with us."

We headed out to the stables, followed by Merry.

"Of all the inquisitive Hobbits, Peregrin Took, you are the worst! Hurry, hurry!" Gandalf said.

"Where are we going?" Pippin asked.

"Minas Tirith, city of Kings!" I called back to him as we headed to the stables. Gandalf got on Shadowfax and Pippin was lifted on after him. I was going to ride Freyda, and she reared in excitement.

"How far is Minas Tirith?" Pippin asked.

"Three days as the Nazgûl flies and you better hope we don't have one of those on our tail!" I answered brightly. I looked up at them and saw Merry and Pippin talking to each other. Merry slowly backed away teary eyed.

"Come Shadowfax show us the meaning of haste!" Gandalf said and the great horse leaped forward.

"Follow the horse lord Freyda, make him proud!" I said and Freyda galloped after Shadowfax somehow keeping up with him. I looked back to see Nostariel and Galadwen standing on the battlements watching me speed off into the distance.

'Don't worry girls I'll be all right, but Nostariel, you need to go with Legolas to the doors of the dead and Galadwen, you need to ride with the king to Gondor Okay?'

'Got it!'

I smirked, telepathy was so awesome.

Lithoniel: I know it's a bit short but I want to know if you like the Faramir/OC idea so tell me!
