“No Aragorn riders! Many horses galloping at a nice clip,”
“How far are they?” asked Gimli, looking at Solaris and then to Legolas.
“About three leagues away,” Legolas stated calmly.
“You are wrong, Legolas, they are only five leagues distant from us,” spoke Solaris, looking at him before turning back to the riders that were approaching.
“Five or one,” said Gimli, “We cannot escape them in this bare land. Shall we wait for them here or go on our way?”
“We shall wait,” said Aragorn, as he knelt down in the now head high grass. “I am weary, and our hunt has failed. Or at least others were before us; for these horsemen are riding back down the orc-trail. We may get news from them.”
“Or spears.” said Gimli.
“There are two empty saddles, but I see no hobbits,” said Legolas, as he glanced towards Aragorn and then to Solaris, who bowed her head. He placed his hand on her shoulder and gives a slight smile.
“I did not say that we should hear good news,” said Aragorn. “But evil or good we will await it here.”
They sat there for several minutes; Gimli could hear the distant beat of galloping hooves. The horsemen, following the trail, had turned from the river, and were drawing near where they were at. They were riding like the winds. Gimli could see the horses all gray and strong legged.
The host had almost passed when Aragorn suddenly stood up, and called out in a loud voice: “What news from the North, Riders of Rohan?”
Within a matter of seconds, the riders checked their mounts and were around them with spears pointed directly at them. Aragorn was unfazed by the scene as he stood there calmly. Solaris gazed at the riders as some had arrows pointed at them as well as spears. She knew that Legolas and she were not fast enough to fire off their arrows if they fired off theirs first.
The riders parted as another rider approached them dismounting from his horse throwing the spear to another rider and removing his sword from his sheath and pointed at Aragorn’s chest.
Legolas grabbed Solaris’s arm quickly before she grabbed her dagger from their place near her quiver. “Ú Solaris; gárn boronwe am i nad Aragorn cerin. Nuithathon dîn dagel e. *”
“Dagithar únorn e, a ammen! * * ” Solaris whispered.
“Ú, Aragorn Ista i nad cerin. * * *” whispered Legolas.
The Rider looked at Aragorn and spoke using the Common Speech of the West and in the manner and tone like that used by Boromir at the council many months back, “Who are you and what are you doing in this land?”
“I am called Strider,” answered Aragorn. “I came out of the North, my friends and I are hunting Orcs.”
“At first I thought that you yourselves were Orcs,” he said; “But now I see that is not so. Indeed you know little of Orcs, if you go hunting them in this fashion. They were swift and well-armed, and they were many. You would have changed from hunters to prey, if ever you had overtaken them. But there is something strange about you, Strider.” he gazed at the Ranger before he glanced over towards the other three members of the Ranger’s party who remained hidden. “That is no name for a Man that you give. And strange too is your raiment. Have you sprung out of the grass? How did you escape our sight? Are you elvish folk?”
“No,” said Aragorn. “Only two of us are elvish. Legolas is from the Woodland Realm in distant Mirkwood and Solaris of Lothlorien.”
“Solaris of Lothlorien, I assume he is the one who taught you the trick of hiding in plain sight?” he said.
“I am no male elf, Eomer. You know me quite well, son of Eomund.” spoke Solaris, as she stood up as did Legolas and Gimli.
Eomer’s face smiled instead of the cold look on his face, as he stretched his hand out to her. “Solaris, you fine beauty of an elf! I was hoping to see your fair face again. Why have you traveled so far with these strange companions?”
“Do you wish for the short tale or the long one?” asked Solaris, grasping Eomer’s outstretched hand.
“Short for you look rushed and worried about something,” said Eomer.
“If your men shall sheath their weapons, I shall give what I know and perhaps you shall shed a clue on our quarry.” spoke Solaris, eyeing the men cautiously.
“Done! Put your weapons away! They are friendly.” commanded Eomer, as he sheathed his own sword. The other men followed suit as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli looked surprised at Solaris for knowing Eomer, who they didn’t even know.
Aragorn watched as Solaris explained their situation with Eomer. He realized he was staring and turned his attention towards Eomer who was speaking with Solaris about something, which he overheard the Ruling Ring. Eomer’s face grew cloudy and then stood up.
“We didn’t see the Hobbits that you spoke of Solaris. Maybe they were taken elsewhere and you and your friends followed the wrong tracks.” said Eomer. “But for you four to move swiftly over this land you need the fastest horses.”
“We need about three horses if you can spare them, Eomer.” Solaris stated, looking at him.
He waved couple of the other riders over and spoke again, “These two are our fastest horses. Their riders are no longer here to use them. They shall not fail you on your journey. But do not carry hope that they are alive, we don’t have much hope left in this forsaken time,”

* No Solaris; trust what Aragorn does. He would not let him harm him.
* * But they could kill him and us easily!
* * * Nay, Aragorn knows what he’s doing.
