Solatiri couldn't move. While Legolas killed the Orc riding the Warg, she looked at the body of her dead father laying on the ground.

"Solatiri, get out of here!" Aragorn yelled as he ran over the hill to warn the people of Rohan.

She turned back not taking her eyes off Hama's body. Theoden rode to the head of the line as Aragorn ran to get his horse.

"What is it?" he asked. "What do you see?"

"Wargs!" Aragorn said. "We're under attack!"

The women and children screamed in fright. They were scared they were going to be killed.

"Get them out of here!" Aragorn told Theoden's soldiers.

"Children!" Solatiri called out. "Eothain! Freida! Hallath!"

"Sister!" Hallath called back riding toward her.

"Come, we need to leave now", she said.

"Where is Father?"

"Never mind that now", Solatiri said. "Let's get you someplace safe."

"All riders to the head of the column!" Theoden called out.

He rode to Eowyn who was trying to mount her horse. He knew what she was doing and was not going to allow it.

"You must lead the people to Helm's Deep", he said. "And make haste."

"I can fight", Eowyn said.

"No!"

She looked at him mad that he wasn't letting her fight. She was strong, she could handle herself.

"You must do this", Theoden said. "For me."

Theoden rode off as well as the rest of the riders.

"Make for the lower ground!" Eowyn said guiding the rest of the people. "Stay together."

"What's going to happen to us?" Freida asked as they rode away from the Wargs and Orcs.

"Lady Eowyn will take us to Helm's Deepk", Solatiri answered. "Do not be afraid. We'll be alright."

"Solatiri, where is Father?" Hallath asked.

Solatiri looked down without answering. How could she tell a boy his father was dead? Hallath was much closer to Hama than she was. She didn't know how he was going to take it. She didn't know how she was taking it herself. Hama may have been neglectful to her but he was still her father.

"Solatiri?" Hallath said.

"I am sorry, little brother", Solatiri said.

"What?"

"Hama…Father…he is dead."

"Dead?" Hallath asked. "How?"

"A Warg", she answered. "A wolf of Isengard took his life."

She looked at the boy who looked away crying. Solatiri didn't blame him. He was only 13 and he had lost his father, the only parent he had left.

"What will happen to me?" Hallath asked. "Mother is gone and Father is gone."

"I will take care of you", Solatiri said. "You are my little brother and my only family. You will stay with me."

"But you are expecting", he said. "You will have your child to care for. How can you care for me too?"

"My child will change nothing. I will love you both the same. My little brother and my child."

"At last, Helm's Deep!" the women at the head of the line exclaimed.

Solatiri and the children looked at Helm's Deep in awe. It was a large fortress that looked like it had been built from the mountain. It reminded her of Minas Tirith. Eowyn led everyone inside the giant stone fortress seeing it was already crowded with people from other villages of Rohan.

"Mama!" Eothain yelled out with a smile on his face.

Solatiri got off her horse and helped him and Freida off theirs. The two children ran toward a woman Solatiri assumed was their mother.

"Mama!" Freida yelled.

"Eothain!" their mother said with a smile. "Freida!"

They hugged each other tightly, so happy to be together after being weeks apart. Their mother looked up to see Solatiri smiling.

"How can I ever thank you for taking care of them?" she asked.

"It was my duty", Solatiri smiled. "Thanks to them, I know I will be able to care for my child."

She gently rubbed the small bump forming.

"Make way for the king!" a guard yelled out. "Make way for Theoden! Make way for the king!"

She and Eowyn ran to the gates where Theoden, Legolas, Gimli and the rest of the soldiers rushed in. There were more people missing than returning.

"So few", Eowyn said noticing. "So few of you have returned."

"Our people are safe", Theoden said. "We have paid for it with many lives."

"My lady", Gimli said approaching her and Solatiri.

"Lord Aragorn…where is he?"

"…he fell."

Solatiri said nothing as she feel to her knees in sorrow and shock.

"No", Solatiri said. "No he can't be dead! First Boromir, then my father, now him too?"

"I am sorry, my lady", Legolas said. "But we looked over the cliff he fell. We found no body."

"If there was no body then it is possible he is still alive", she said.

"No one could've survived that fall", Gimli said.

"Aragorn is no ordinary man. You both know that."

"If he survived that, it would be a miracle.
