Here is the second alternate ending! It starts from *1 as well.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings.

"Then one day, the snake man came to her and apologized for all the wrongs he had committed and admitted he was worthy of death and asked her to kill him if she would have any mercy upon him. However the guards took him away without her consent. The snake man was tortured for all his wrongs and the princess could not stop it. Then finally the one man who had never left was gone."

Silence echoed throughout the room. Lady Eowyn stared outside the window, his screams ringing in her ears. She closed her eyes tightly only to snap them open again when a child touched her hand.

"Did the swan ever find happiness?" the child whispered.

She bowed her head and shut her eyes tightly, forcing her screams back down and struggling to keep tears from falling. She looked back up in to the childs imploring eyes and whispered in a broken voice,

"I'd like to think so."
