Chapter 12- The Battle
'HELP!' pippin yelled as ran into the fort 'the elves got Aragorn' he gasped out 'what?!' said Boromir 'Where'd they take him' he asked 'they headed north, we've got to save him' 'pippin's right we have to do something' agreed Faramir 'and so we shall' said Théoden stepping out of his tent 'I told you those savages couldn't be trusted, we will rescue our comrade, at daybreak we attack!', all of the men cheered while pippin didn't look to sure.
Across in Rivendel, the warriors were sharpening knifes and arrows, restringing bows and planning strategies, 'bring the prisoner' Elrond ordered to Rumil, and they set off, meanwhile Arwen had run off to speak with grandmother Galadriel.
'They're going to kill him at sunrise grandmother' she said sadly 'you have to stop them' 'I can't' 'child remember your dream' Galadriel encouraged 'I was wrong, I followed the wrong path, I feel so lost' merry looked at her sadly but suddenly remembered the compass, running up the tree he retrieved it and slid down the vine in front of her to show her 'the compass?' she said, taking it she looked down at it and arrow started to spin 'spinning arrow' she said softly 'it's the arrow from your dream child' 'it was pointing to him' Arwen said excitedly, she stood and the arrow stopped spinning, it was pointing towards the battle ground 'sunrise' said Arwen starting to panic 'it's not too late, let the spirits of the earth guide you' said Galadriel 'you know your path child, now follow it'.
Both races marched quickly through the plains each determined to exterminate each other, Arwen raced across the terrain desperately hoping she wasn't too late.
Elrond pushed Aragorn face down onto the rock and raised his knife, the men down below halted their advance and their hands went to their swords, Elrond brought his knife down, 'NO!' cried Arwen, she pushed her way through the crowd and threw herself over Aragorn, stopping knifes decent, 'if you kill him, you'll have to kill me too' 'daughter stand back' he commanded 'I won't, I love him Ada' she declared, Elrond stepped back, shocked, 'look around you' she continued 'this is where the path of hatred has brought us, this is the path I choose, what will yours be' Elrond sighed and looked to the men and his elven warriors, he sheathed his knife 'my daughter speaks with wisdom beyond her years, we have all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding, from this day forward if there is to be killing it will not start with me' he declared and he bent forwards to cut Aragorn's bindings, Aragorn and Arwen threw their arms around each other happy that no one was hurt. Elves and men alike lowered their weapons 'what are you waiting for, shoot' said Théoden 'no' said pippin stepping forward 'what?!' 'They let him go, they don't want to fight' said Boromir coming to pippins aid 'it's a trick, fire!'Théoden yelled to the others, but they refused 'fine' he sneered and he snatched a bow from a nearby solider, aimed at it at Elrond and fired, Aragorn seeing this quickly pushed him out of the way, and the arrow pierced his shoulder 'Aragorn' cried pippin 'you shot him' 'he got in the way' protested Théoden 'get him' shouted Faramir, they ambushed him took the bow away, 'tie him up' ordered pippin 'I'll see you all hanged for this' Théoden snarled 'and gag him as well'.
'Ada help him, please' begged Arwen, Elrond nodded 'we will take him to the village' Elrond gestured to Legolas and Elrohir to take him back to Rivendel.
Arwen and Eowyn sat outside lord Elrond's talon waiting for any kind of news, Eowyn had Gimli in her arms after he reappeared from the forest, while Merry and Sam sat with Arwen, Elrond finally emerged 'he will make it, he just needs time to heal' he said smiling at Arwen, she jumped up and ran inside 'Aragorn' she said going to his side 'Arwen' he reached up to stroke her cheek 'I'm glad your okay' she whispered tearfully 'I thought I'd lost you' 'you'll never lose me, I love you' he said bringing her down into a gentle kiss.
A few weeks later Aragorn was well enough to walk but not without support, pippin, Boromir and Faramir had all come to say their goodbyes as they were returning to Gondor later that day, they were just loading up their last bit of cargo, Théoden, who was tied up in elven rope.
Aragorn and Arwen were married a few months after and they had a son who they named Eldarion.
The End
-OMG I FINSHED IT, I'm so proud of myself, I hope the ending was okay, I just can't separate Arwen and Aragorn, REVIEW!-
