A/N: This is little plot bunny jumped into my head on the way back from Dorset. It doesn't really follow LoTR cannon, but this is Fan FICTION therefore not compliant to Tolkien's or to New Line Cinema's storylines. Any flames will be used to keep my pet Dragon happy, well they would if I had a pet Dragon... In short flaming is pointless, constructive criticism however is welcomed.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. I don't even own the computer I am sitting at.

Enjoy

The path to True Love never did run smooth

Arwen loved Aragorn, everyone knew that. But she couldn't marry him, not unless he became King of Gondor. Though it didn't have to be specifically Gondor, he could be King of any Kingdom, just so she could marry him. It was all her Ada's doing, but she couldn't blame him. He was just doing his duty to protect Imladris from outward attacks.

It had been before Aragorn's birth when she had seen it. The vision of him defeating Sauron's Orc's and Uruk-hai at The Black Gates. At the sight love had blossomed in her heart and from the sight of the Evenstar around his neck, she knew that it was her who motivated him. Without their love Middle Earth would fall.

There was little she could do, she was already married.

A/N Yes, I know it is short, but there is another chapter. Review if you have the desire to.
