The Sister of Aragorn

Chapter 2

"It is not far now," Aragorn said to Ellwyn.

"You've said that four times already," she grumbled.

Ellwyn laughed her cheerful laugh and a moment later Aragorn joined in.

When they had finished laughing, Ellwyn asked, "How many more miles?"

"Two," Aragorn replied, walking steadily on.
