The Citadel of Guard

[Garland]

Lord Garland Came into the Citadel of the Guard now. It had been many days hence that the battle in Mithlond had ceased and the new Lord of Mithlond wished an audience with King Aragorn.

Arwen looked from Lord Dindaedel to Lord Garland and back to Aragorn. He seemed deep in thought and his stern glance remembered her at the evening when he came home from chasing the Yokothing. A chill run over her spine and she was wondering which evil news he might have in mind.

[Envin]

"Indeed, shall Gondor ride with thee, Lord of Angmar, noble Morsereg," replied the High King, "For Gondor as well has grievance against Murazor the traitor, for I know now that his assault upon Mithlond was made in hostility forsooth! Arwen, my dear, this very day have I seen him, in thy guise once more, without these City walls, and take an elixir which returned him to his true form. He it was. then, that has consorted with yokoing yokels and attempted to undo us. No longer! Dindaedel, when is thy assault planned? Have thou the time to tarry in my City a day, that my Host may be prepared, and thou and I march north together?"

[vanya]

Arwen didn't know what to say. She was relieved that everything had cleared up, but also anger against Murazor grow in her, how he could do this all against Gondor and Aragorn ... and her. She took silently seat and listened to the guests.

[Morsereg Dîndaedel]

Morsereg smirked, "I shall stay with you, yes, and then our forces shall ride together to Rivendell. During which time, my forces will be commanded by Dwar, and I shall depart to speak with Murazor, to give him one last chance. I shall return, however, before the forces reach Rivendell. Is this all okay with you?" He rose an eyebrow, smirking smugly inwardly at the fact that even Gondor turned against Murazor now.

[Envin]

"Very well, I am agreed to thy strategems. Set thou forth, and my stewards shall find thee lodging for the night. In these troubled times the Host of the West e'er stands prepared for its lord's call, and we shall ride at dawn, Dindaedel, but I warn thee: allow me to see aught of thy wizardry arrayed against me or mine and I shall darken my blade with thy blood."

[Morsereg Dîndaedel]

Morsereg nodded, "Of course, my liege," He bowed once more, before turning on his heels, "I am a man of my honor, Elessar. I ride with you, and together we shall cause Murazor Bauglir's downfall."

[Envin]

An evening passed fitfully for the King of Gondor, tormented both by the wrath within him against Murazor, and yet longing to wish that it were not so that he was sallying forth to war against him. But it was the fault of Murazor, not Aragorn!

And so when dawn came Telcontar and Dindaedel met in the Citadel, and there Aragorn bid farewell to his dear Arwen, begging her to forget all that he had said, and to let naught stand between their hearts, for he would now depart to avenge the theft of her name. He kissed her eyes and her full lips, and promised her elanor to twine in her hair, and she smiled.

Then he was off, and as the passed the gates of the Rammas, the Host of the West followed him to the north. To the north! To Rivendell, with war!

[vanya]

Arwen stood on the top of the citadel and watched Aragorns departure. His shining armor was long to see from afar and heavy grew her heart. To Rivendell, to her fathers home, her love would bring war and destruction. The great host of Gondor was in march to punish the traitor Murazor Bauglir who sat in the house of their childhood and found rest and peace within the same garden they met each other first. She didn't understand how he could do what he obvisively had done. But Aragorn had no question in this and neither did she. The breed of Morgoth would ever remain evil and ever try to look fair. How the father as well the son. The host vanished from her sight and so did Elessar. A pain grew in her heart to be parted from him in this very moment the lies were discovered and the trustfullness had recovered. She had no time to tell him that she didn't took his formerwords ill and that there was nothing broken, nor changed in her feelings to him. And how badly she wanted to tell him that she was waiting for him to come back. Tears run down her cheeks and she turned around, walking back into the Council hall.

A time later...
Worn out and sick for lacking sleep and exhaustment a lonely rider entered the gate of the city and made its way up to the citadel. The horse more dead than alive was foaming and trembling when its rider droped to the ground, more or less unconceness. The guardians of the citadel took care for the mount and some other brought the men into the Council hall where still Arwen sat allone for holding council instead of her husband until he returned from battle.

The man was sat on a bench and Arwen walked to him asking for the events which drove him in such haste to Minas Tirith and the man said the long shore was attacked and the banner of Lothlorien stood over the desolation. Arwen took seat and hold her hand before her face. Lord Ashuron? Attacking the shores of Gondor? She wrote hasty a message to Aragorn and bound it to a bird, asking the little fellow to hurry and find the High King and deliver the message.

[Megloren Istdale]

A raven flew into the lone Citadel at dusk, dropping a letter onto the empty throne of the missed King of Gondor.

Lord Aragorn,
Our allys in the Ered Luin are being ruthlessly attacked. We have no information on this new attacker, though I forsee his allys comming soon. Lord Gimli and I are riding to their aid, and I beg of you to send your own force to help us.

Megloren Istdale
Mistress of Isengard

The doors of the cithadel crept open , and sunlight poored in , then a great shadow took its place, growing taller as it walked through the narrow gaps of the doors , the gaurds were unconcous on the floor, and then the door snapped shut , the man stood tall , and all his face covered in darkness from his hood save his mouth ,and he said " What reason did you have to march against me ... Aragorn " the words were spoken with hate , deciet ,and made what some thought to be a great language worse then the black speech of the orcs , and the word Aragorn was emphisiased with more dark intent.

[Envin]

The Great Hall of the Citadel had been guarded well that Arwen might be safe, for Aragorn was away. The moment Murazor overpowered the guards outside (no mean feat, for they were many), nigh on three score and ten leapt into the hall, blades flashing in the firelight. And the skylights in the ceiling were lifted on high, and doughty Rangers peered through, bows bent, with three flaming arrows strung each.

The Captain of the Guards looked to Arwen for her command.

[vanya]

Arwen came forth from a dark corner of the hall and raised her hand to command hold to the archers. "Don't spill blood on this floor before we don't know what is the reason." She looked at Murazor. "You are not invited, you are not welcome here. But nevertheless, this hall is open for everybody. So speak now, whatmatter brings you here? And how does it come you need to ask why Gondor fights you? You are accused to have abducted Lord Dindaedels child!"

[~Tom~]

"They truelly have turned Gondor against me , and that i am truely , deeply ashamed of!!!" he said anger growing at the end and he thrust out his hand at the gaurds and they flew back out the cithadel , one of the arrows were released but he moved out of the way in time , and it bounced off the stone throne , and rolled across the marble floor.

Then he said "Your gonna need better protection then these gaurds.....Now , if i kidnapped his Daughter, then do i have to bring her to this very cithadel to prove i didnt,if i kidnapped her , then why dose Morsereg not tell the truth , he cant keep his family together, its weak , there is no love , just the fact his family are soldiers and that is it.... now , why didnt Gondor trust me , is it because of the son of MORGOTH !!" he truly had changed since the last time he met.
