Sorry, this took so long. I uploaded it to the sight and forgot to add it to the story.
Aragorn, Nira, Legolas, and Gimli ran through a tunnel, but slowed as they heard whispers. Misty hands reached toward them as they walked by. Aragorn and Legolas swatted or avoided them; Gimli blew at them, while Nira ignored them completely.
"Do not look down," Aragorn whispered.
Gimli looked down to see skulls. He jumped as a voice echoed through the air.
"Who enters my domain?" a ghastly voice growled.
"One who will have you allegiance," Aragorn replied to the disembodied voice.
A figure appeared. He was semi-transparent with a green glow. He wore royal robes and a crown, and the flesh on his face was rotting off.
"The dead do not suffer the living to pass," he snapped.
"You will suffer me," Aragorn growled.
The ghost king laughed, which was followed by a rumble of others. Aragorn, Nira, Legolas, and Gimli turned to see the rest of the city filled with ghosts. The other ghosts floated toward them, surrounding them.
"The way is shut," the ghost king recited. "It was made by those who are dead, and the dead keep it. The way is shut. Now, you must die."
"I summon you to fulfill you oath," Aragorn shouted, sounding more and more like a king and less of a ranger.
"None but the king of Gondor may command me."
Aragorn pulled his sword up in front of him, adjusting his grip. The ghost king drew his sword and charged at Aragorn. Aragorn stopped the king's blade and grabbed the king by the neck, putting the sword at the king's neck.
"That blade was broken," the king said in disbelief.
"It had been remade," Aragorn corrected.
Aragorn pushed the ghost king away and said, "Fight for us and regain your honor. What say you? What say you?"
"Ahh," Gimli growled. "You waste your time, Aragorn. They have no honor in life. They have none now in death."
"I am Isildur's heir," Aragorn told the ghosts. "Fight for me, and I will hold your oaths fulfilled. What say you?
The ghosts began to disappear as the king laughed darkly.
"You have my word. Fight and I will release you from this living death. What say you?"
"Stand you traitors!" Gimli yelled.
The ground began to shake, and they turned toward the castle. The rocks began to break, releasing a flood of skulls. They all ran toward the exit and broke into the sunlight. They saw the ships of the pirates in the river, and Aragorn fell to his knees. They turned to see the ghosts appear behind them.
"We fight," the king told Aragorn.
Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Nira stood on the banks of the river as the ships passed.
"You may go no further," Aragorn said. "You will not enter Gondor."
The pirates laughed at them as the lead ship's captain stood.
"Who are you to deny us passage?" the captain asked.
"Legolas," Aragorn said quietly. "Fire a warning shot warning shot passed him ear."
Legolas drew an arrow and took aim.
"Mind your aim," Gimli muttered, before hitting the bow.
Legolas shot a crew member, who fell to the deck, dead. The pirates stopped laughing.
"That's it," Gimli called. "We warned you. Prepare to be boarded."
"Boarded?" the captain said. "By you and whose army?"
"This army," Aragorn muttered.
The ghosts charged out of the stone. They floated across the water to the ships, killing anyone on board. Aragorn, Nira, Gimli, and Legolas boarded the lead ship and sailed to the harbor by Minas Tirith.
Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, and Nira jumped off the pirate's ship when the orcs yelled for the pirates. Seeing two elves, a dwarf, and a Man in front of them surprised the orcs. They walked forward slowly.
"There are plenty for the three of us," Gimli growled. "May the best dwarf win."
"You wish, Gimli," Nira laughed.
They started fighting as the ghosts followed them out of the ships. Legolas attack one of the Mûmakil, while Nira found a second. Nira and Legolas killed both Mûmakil at the same time. After the ghosts had finished off the enemy army, they stood before Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Nira.
"Release us," the ghost king demanded.
"Bad idea," Gimli told him. "Very handy in a tight spot, these lads, despite the fact they're dead."
"No, Gimli," Nira snapped quietly.
"You gave us your word," the ghost king said.
"I hold your oaths fulfilled," Aragorn told him. "Go. Be at peace."
The ghosts vanish in a swirl of green vapor. Legolas, Nira, and Gimli rounded on each other.
"Seventy-three," Gimli and Legolas said at the same time.
"Ninety-one," Nira told them.
She began walking toward the white city with Aragorn. Legolas ran up beside Nira and took her hand. Gimli followed after them. Nira stopped as she hard a devastated cry of anguish. She turned to see Éomer kneeling over a body, crying. She saw long blond hair blow around the soldier's head and ran over to Éomer and the soldier. As she approached, Nira saw Éomer holding Éowyn in his arms. Nira touched the woman's neck and felt a faint pulse.
"She's alive," Nira told Éomer. "Injured but alive. We have to get her inside."
She took a horse from one of the soldiers and got on. Éomer lifted his sister onto the saddle in front of Nira, reluctantly.
"Find anyone else who's injured," Nira ordered. "No matter how fatal the wound, bring them to me."
She turned and rode to the white city with Éowyn.
A/N I know I don't do the battle justice, but I only told it from Nira's POV. Review, I only got one review on last chapter. Come on, people.
