Solatiri looked around the Golden Hall to see everyone having a good time. They were laughing and drinking the night away. Even Legolas has started drinking to join in the fun. She heard a small voice say something in Elvish and turned to see Eowyn holding a copper goblet to Aragorn. He smiled as he took it and took a drink. Solatiri saw Eowyn look at Aragorn with admiration in her eyes. Aragorn turned away to leave.

"I think someone is in love", Solatiri smiled as she looked at Aragorn.

"Me?" Aragorn asked. "No, Solatiri. You are mistaken."

"Aragorn, look at her", she said looking at Eowyn. "Every time I see the two of you together, her face shines. In her eyes I see hope, trust and admiration. Lady Eowyn is in love with you."

Aragorn sighed as he looked away from her.

"I cannot give her what she desires", he said. "My heart belongs to another."

The smile faded from Solatiri's face as Aragorn walked away. Aragorn did not return Eowyn's love. She felt sorry for the poor girl knowing she could not have what her heart desired most.

"Oh, you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our hometown
As the one we drink in our hometown"

Solatiri watched Merry and Pippin drink as they danced on the table and sang. She watched the happy faces on the Hobbits and couldn't help but smile as she clapped along with the men as they sang.

"You can drink your fancy ales
You can drink them by the flagon
But the only brew for the brave and true…"

Pippin stopped as he looked at Gandalf bringing the song to a halt.

"Pippin!" Merry yelled.

"But the only brew for the brave and true
Comes from the Green Dragon!"

Solatir smiled as she turned away. She was happy that everyone was happy without a care in the world tonight, but her heart just wasn't in the mood to celebrate. Theoden looked at the unhappy look in her eyes and wanted to brighten her spirit. He stood by his throne to speak.

"With this evening drawing to a close, I would like to call upon someone in this hall", he said. "Solatiri, daughter of my friend, Hama."

Everyone looked at Solatiri who looked back at Theoden surprised. She slowly walked up to Theoden and bowed in respect.

"My Lord."

"I have heard you have a beautiful voice", Theoden said. "Perhaps you can enlighten us with one more song before we turn in for the night."

Solatiri looked at everyone in the Golden Hall who watched her waiting for her to answer. She noticed the women in the hall, most who were now widows after the battle at Helm's Deep, same as her.

"It would be a pleasure, my Lord", Solatiri bowed.

She watched the man with the fiddle in the corner of the room begin to play slowly. Solatiri watched as everyone sat down to listen to her sing.

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I pray to the gods: let him stay

Solatiri rubbed her growing belly as Boromir came into her mind. She looked into the crowd to see the women seeing tears come to their eyes.

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here

All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

Merry and Pippin watched her with an enchanted look in their eyes as well as all the men in the hall.

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay

Reminds me again
It's worth it all
So I can go home

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here

All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I'll love you till the end of time

All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here

All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears

All of my memories…
