Chapter 1: Daggers

"Rina!" My mother called from my doorway. "Come on now my girl get up you'r going to Grondor today!" I jumped out of bed and gave my mother a kiss. I started to get ready. My mother sighed as I pulled things from my wardrobe. "My dear can't you wear a dress, please!" She asked looking at my boots and pants and loose shirt I was about to put on.

"But mother! What is the use of a dress, you cant fight in them you cant ride in them! They just end up getting in the way!" I moan and continue to get ready.

"They make you look like an exceptional young lady!" She said coming over to try and do something with my hair finally settling on pulling it up into a horse tail.

"Its three days ride from Rohan to Grondor! I cant go around in a dress, it will get ripped and dirty. Anyways you've seen me in a side saddle I fall out! I might be a good horse woman but no one said ridding with both feet on one side came with the deal!" My mother sighed and we walked down to the stables. I had gone to bed only a tiny while before dawn so I didn't need to eat breakfast, since I had many snacks in there every once in a while.

"Well be safe!" My mother said as I got onto my gelding Lightning Strike. "You don't know if there are any orc's out there who escaped the battle."

"I know mother, I have been riding alone to Grondor for years, and with you and father since an infant. I know what to look for!" I bent down in the saddle giving my mother a kiss on the check before galloping out of the stable. My father watched me leave from the threshold to the thrown room. My parents will be leaving the day after next. I normally leave a few days before because I love to get out and ride.

My parents and I are going to Grondor because they are supposed to be holding a yearly meeting between the kings of the neighboring kingdoms of man. My mother is always included in these meetings because the kingdom of Rohan actually belongs to her. It was left to her by her uncle when he died in the second war of the rings.

I camped out in the fields of the two kingdoms on my way there. On the third day I finally reached the City. I let the grooms take Lightning and then walked up to the palace at the very top of the city. I walked right on through to the thrown room.

"Aragorn! Arawen!" I greeted them merraly getting great hugs from both in return.

"It is so nice to see you again Rina! How you have grown! It seems just a fortnight ago you were just a baby barley able to keep your head up, now your so tall and strong. And stubborn I can see." She said laughing happily looking over my garb.

"You are just like my mother." I look at her and then turn around as some one else walks into the room. "Uncle Gimbly, Uncle Legolas!" I yell and run to give them a hug. Gimbly lets out a great roar of laughter as I pick him up and spin him around.

"Strong little lass you have grown to be aren't you!" He said giving me a slap on the back.

"How have you been? Does your family fare well?" Legolas asks.

"Yes the city is better than it has been in years, my parents at their peak. The horses have many strong foals this year, and the crops are well. We are doing very well Legolas. How has Grondor, been this past while?" I ask looking around at them all.

"Very well m'lady." Aragorn said. "We have had a slight problem with rogue orc's but other than that we have thrived as of late."

"Let us move to the feast, we shall talk while we fill ourselves." Arawen said the men walked to the table.

"Oh yes Lady Arawen, my mother said she would have great news to tell everyone. She didn't even tell me because she knew I would spoil it." Arawen nodded.

"Where is Regon?" I can't help but ask. Regon is Aragorn and Arawen's son, we have played together since we were tots. Arawen couldent help but snicker as we came to the dinning hall doors. Gimbly opened the doors and Regon was sitting at one of the tables.

"REGON!!" I scream and run in the room, he looks around and jumps up to meet me in a hug. I giggle and jump around looking at how he's grown since we've last met. "You've grown so much Regon!" I giggle when I come back to his face. He smiles and picks me up and spins me around like I had just done to Gimbly. All of the grown-ups were laughing now but we didn't really mind.

"You've grown too! My dear! How have you been?" He asked, putting me down.

"Amazing! And how have…" I was cut off by Arawen.

"Why don't we sit down and eat, then you two can catch up. You have to let us talk with her too Regon!" She laughed sitting down at the table. Aragon sat at the head of the table, Arawen to his right and Regon to his left. I sit next to Regon and Legolas sits next to Arawen, Gimbly sits next to me. "Rina you turned another year older while you were away didn't you! How old are you now?" Arawen asks.

"Yes I'm 16 years now, You turned another year didn't you Regon. How old are you?" I ask looking over at him as they bring in the food and set it down in front of us.

"I'm a tender 17 years, as of last month." The talk went on like that for a while. Soon the talk went mostly to the adults, talking about the rouge orc's and how they are getting less and less. Some think they're giving up but Gimbly and I think that they are tricking us and will come back with twice as much force. Regon and I started to wisper with our own conversations letting the adults talk on their own. They let us go off on our own after we all finished our food. I told everyone I would come back a little later to talk with them. Regon and I took off we ran out down the city. We got to the stables, he got his gelding Thunder and I got my gelding Lightning Strike. We took off out the front gates laughing and talking the entire way. We rode over the plains for quite a while. We stopped at our own little lake. We came here with our parents when we were little and never stopped coming. We let our horses lay down relax and drink. (Think Seabiscut, how he always lays down and sleeps and stuff) We layed down next to our horses on the soft green summers day grass looking up at the clouds. He was laying down and so was I but I had my head on his shoulder and his arm was around my waist.

`Whats going on… my stomach feels all funny, I've never felt like this with him… oh well.' I think to myself "Look! It's a dagger!" I giggle pointing at about the 20th cloud I thought was a dagger that dagger. He hit me in the side playfully,

"You're a dork, but we do call you Dagger Queen for a reason." He got a goofy grin on his face.

"What??" I ask scooting farther away. "What??" I ask again. Before I knew it he went after me you could hear my shreaks from land leagues away I know it. "Stop stop!! STOP!! EEKK!" I scream as he tickles me. Our horses just look our way and then go back to sleeping. I try and get away but he's bigger than I am. "Eekk! Stop!! Regon!!! HAHAHAHA!!! REGON!!" I was crying by now and my sides were aching from laughing so hard. Finally I can get enough of my weight under me I push against him and we both go rolling down the tiny hill into the lake. We were both laughing hard now. We started a water fight, I would splash him and he would splash me back. Finally we ended up having to go back to the city. It was about an hour later too, we rode back and when we met up with every one they just looked at us.

"What happened to you two?" Gimbly asked as we came in sopping wet. I turned to Regon and stuck out my tounge at him.

"We went out to the lake…" I said before we both broke out laughing again. We had to hold on to each other to stay standing up. All the adults just shook their heads Arawen helped me stand up and then showed me to my room. They rest of the guys went with Regon to talk about things.

Ya I know I'm sorry I have major writers block so I just wrote anything. Do you like it, please tell me I will keep it going but I like to know what you like about it or what u want next time or what you want me to change!!!
