The Ride to Rohan

[Simbelmyne]

(((Jumping now...)))

The company rode up to the gates of Meduseld, halting. In her strong voice, Simbelmyne called out:
"I am Simbelmyne, and I bring a company to the King! I must meet with the king - the men of Harad now approach Gondor! We must lead an eored to aid them!"
The gates swung open.
"Stable the horses!" someone called.

Twenty minutes later, after she had made sure the horses were stabled, she was taken to the King.
"It is not good news, my lord. The Haradrim are drawing closer to Minas Tirith every day. I will lead my company back to Gondor and to Minas Tirith, but we need another eored. Will you not give your friends aid in a time of darkness? Surely you remember the tales of the War of the Ring, where we rode to Gondor, and the Lady Eowyn killed the Witch-king, and Eomer became our lord!"
"I do remember, Lady Simbelmyne." He sighed. "I have few riders to spare. I give you one hundred, and you shall receive no more."
"One hundred!" Her voice rose dangerously. "What good is one hundred riders against ten thousand Haradrim? You have more riders, my lord! What do you wait for?"
"For the men of Harad to come here after the battle for Gondor!"
"If we have a strong force, we will win the battle!"
"My word is final, Lady Simbelmyne. Go and take your eored."
"We will ride at nightfall."
"As you wish."

(((OK, we need to prepare for the journey, and everyone needs to be present for the battle in a while )))

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

Galadeth was taking a walk in the stables after she took care of her horse.

In that moment, a thought of darkness came to her Mind.

"We must hurry, the Darkness is coming, and we need to do something."

She went to talk with Simbelmynë.

"Simbelmynë, what did the King told you?"

[Shieldmaiden]

Leodwyn stood brushing her horse wondering what the King would do. She had grown up in this city and wished to take a walk before leaving it again. When she was done she went to find Simbelmynë.
"Simbelmynë will it be possible for me to spend some time in the city before we go?"

[Simbelmyne]

"You have a little time - until darkness. Then we move."
She turned to Galadeth.
"We have one hundred Riders, against a force of ten thousand Haradrim. He will give me no more." She sighed. "We have but one option. I could ride on to Rivendell and East Lorien. The elven realms still train their warriors well, and all are skilled with bows. But battle is close, and someone must lead these troops on to Gondor. What should I do for the good of my people?"

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

"Avo' osto, mellon nin... we will ride to Lórien and I will talk with my Ada Haldir, I am sure he will help us, and Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn are not going to let us alone in this, I am sure of that..."

Galadeth looked to the East.

"My Ada will help us... I know it..." Galadeth hugged Simbelmynë.

((OOC: Just let's make like Haldir is alive, please...))

[Shieldmaiden]

Leodwyn went to go wander the streets that had once been her home and wait for darkness....
((OOC-that's fine with me they never should have killed him in the first place. I cried.))

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

((OOC: Me too... that was not just... Daddy Tolkien never killed Haldir in the Helm's Deep... I was depressed a whole week...))

[Shieldmaiden]

((OOC- Hello out there! anyone home?))

[Simbelmyne]

(((Oopsies...)))

"It is settled then. I will ride with Galadeth to Lorien. But who will lead our people into battle?"

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

"Maybe Leodwyn can do it, Simbelmynë... thanks for giving me your company, it is very hard for me to give news like this..."

[Simbelmyne]

"She has my trust. If she will accept it, she may lead them into battle. Leodwyn, if you take this burden, I am now at your service until I return from Lorien."

Galadeth looked to the West.

"I hope someday we will cross the Sea..."

[Shieldmaiden]

Leodwyn looked up in suprise. 'I will accept the task. I only hope I can prove myself worthy of it.'

[Simbelmyne]

"It is settled. You will lead them. I give into your keeping the badge of the Rohirric commanders. Become who you were born to be." She turned to her soldiers.
"Leodwyn will lead you to Gondor! I go to Lorien and Rivendell, and I will return soon. We need more people if we can wage this war. Galadeth rides with me. I reserve only one squad of soldiers. The rest are with Leodwyn. Ride now, ride to ruin, and a red dawn!" She ran to her horse, mounted, and rode off.
"Namarie!"

[Galadeth Greenleaf]

"Namárië, Leodwyn, May Elbereth protect you..."

Galadeth and Simbelmynë started their journey.

"We need to go North then..." Said Galadeth.
