Chapter 1

He watched out the window of his study as his 4 children played together in the courtyard. After 15 years of being married to Arwen, he still could not believe that it was all true. He watched as his youngest, Gilraen, chased around her 14 year old brother. “Tag your it!” she shouted at him. Aragorn smiled and thought of his childhood when he used to play with Elladan and Elrohir.
“You could hear their laughter from our bedroom.” Aragorn slowly turned to see his wife standing in the doorway. She walked over to him and kissed him. She stood next to him and he put his arm around her waist and said lovingly, “They are wonderful children and I sill cannot express how much I love them and you. I still cannot believe everything could end so happy after something so terrible.”
They stood there for a while and then departed for the dining hall for there was going to be a huge feast for Eldarion’s birthday. “I hope I never have to see war as long as I am king. For I don’t know how I could leave my family,” Aragorn thought as he saw how happy his son was with his friends.
Little did Aragorn know, that within only 5 hours he would have to leave them and that he may not return.
