Chapter 7.
Nessa felt as if it had all been a dream. She could only stand and
watch as what looked like a gray mist traveled over the city. It had
not taken long to feel the relief in the air. Fighting was still
going on across the field but this new arrival had brought new hope.
A
feeling that perhaps they still had a chance even if only a little.
In the days that followed Nessa was often at Eowyn's side. Listened
as
she told her of why she had been in battle. She shared her tears when
told of King Theoden's last few moments.
"I hope I do not interrupt." Nessa saw the smile on Eowyns face as
they heard a soft spoken voice from behind. She knew of her friends
feeling for Aragorn but she wondered if Eowyn was aware of her
feelings for Faramir.
Together the three stood looking out over the fields, Each know that
this war was far from over.
It was plain to see how Faramir felt for Eowyn, How he would keep
looking her way even if for only a brief second. Taylor smiled at
them as she excused herself. She enjoyed Eowyn's company and Faramir
was indeed a true gentlemen. However the young captain had often
reminded her of Eomer. With each day that passed she missed him even
more. Tur bac back she took one more look at Eowyn and Faramir. They
seemed to suit each other.
" They would be well matched."
His voice alone sent a chill into her. No matter how much time would
have passed she would never forget the sound of his voice. Without
giving a reply she turned back around and found herself being pulled
into his embrace.
Eomer had wasted no time in finding her once he arrived. It had been
Gandalf who told him to expect to see her.
Nessa felt the first of her tears fall. She knew she had missed him
but until now had not realized just how much. Her vision was blurred
when he pulled her head back to look at him.
" what is this?» He gently wiped her tears. There haen nen no time to
reply before his lips found hers. There was no hesitation on her part
as she parted her lips to give him the entry he wanted.
The sound of someone clearing their throat from behind Eomer caused
them to pull apart slowly. Nessa looked to see not only Gandalf but
Aragorn as well. Not for behind them was Legolas, Gimli and what
appeared to be many members of the Rohirrim.
" I can only wish for such a welcome ." Gimli had commented getting
a
laugh out of many.
Aragorn had an amused look in his eyes but remained silent. With a
nod
meant for both Eomer and Nessa he tuned back towards the white city.
In the many days that followed Nessa felt slightly overwhelmed by it
all. She had remained at Eomer's side since the war had ended and a
new time had begun. Life as it had once been known would for many be
forever changed.
" Gimli Gloin's son have you your axe ready?" Eomer asked which had
only left Nessa in wonder.
" Nay, Lord" Was Gimli's reply, A hint of a smile appearing. " But I
can speedily fetch it, if there need be"
Nessa watched them both as they continued their conversation. She saw
the amusement in both their eyes when Eomer asked if he need call for
his sword. Gimli had of course deemed it was not needed. Nessa
laughed
softly at them both.
Eomer turned and placed a gentle kiss on her check as Gimli excused
himself. The look in Eomer's eyes pleaded with her not to be angered
over his conversation with Gimli. She could not help but laugh as she
in turn placed a kiss on his cheek.
With him arm linked around hers he placed a hand gently over hers as
he lead them towards the room they shared.
All too soon the day came for them to return to Rohan. They were now
to return Theoden to his rightful burial place. It had brought tears
to Nessa's eyes when she saw the sight before her. As expected Eomer
was there as was Eowyn It was what was behind them that had brought
forth her tears. Many allies of Theoden waited with a great peace
among them for the Riders to move forward. It was a great surprise
for
her to seat aat among them was also Lord Celeborn and Lady Galadriel
as well.
Briefly she met with the soft blue eyes of Galadriel. The lady of the
woods merely smiled at her before gazing towards Eomer.
"Your place My lady" Eomer had met her as she had headed towards her
own horse "Is as before at my side"
Eomer kissed her forehead before lifting her into her saddle. She
could only watch through her tears as he mounted his steed. With a
final look back he urged his horse forward, followed by such an
escort that Theoden would have been proud to have received.
The buriel of Theoden was a sad moment for all. Not soon would he be
forgotten, nor would his name ever cease to be heard throughout the
lands of Rohan.
Nessa's attention was brought back to Eomer as he spoke of Faramir.
"Steward of Gondor,and Prince of Ithilien, asks that Eowyn Lady of
Rohan should be his wife, and she grants it in full will
Th
Therefore
they shall be trothplighted before you all."
Nessa could only watch as both Eowyn and Faramir stood together each
taking the others hand. Eomer locked eyes with her and she could
easily see how pleased he was. He was lured into a conversation with
Aragorn before she could say anything.
" My Lady" Nessa had for the first time in a long time stood to
watch the riders. It seemed like almost a lifetime ago that Eomer had
first convinced her to ride with him. Ale sle slowly appeared at his
voice. " I had a feeling you would be found here." His arms encircled
her waist before he gently leaned her back to rest against him
" I still find peace in watching the horses." She willing let herself
be turn in his arms. His kiss deep with passion the instant their
lips
met.
" Do you remember our private lunch?" Nessa's eyes closed at the soft
whisper of his voice in her ear.
" It is a time I will always remember" Her reply was met wiis
is
smile.
" I would be honored if you would be so kind to accompany me again to
special place." For the first time Nessa could not read the emotion
in his eyes. There seemed to be a mixture of excitement and
anxiousness at the same time.
" It would please me greatly…"She all managed to reply before his
mouth once again captured hers.
To her surprise he once again already had her horse ready. As before
he mounted her into the saddle then pulled himself up behind her. The
silence between them was comfortable. The ride slow, neither one of
them in need to hurry.
Nessa noticed how the sun was beginning to set, she wondered if they
would make it before the dark of night was upon them . She need not
have worried with what had come into view.
" For you" Eomer whispered as he lightly nibbled her ear.
Nessa was at a loss for words. The path that lead up to where they
had
sat last time was lit with candles. Each candle lighting the way to a
blanket, upon the blanket sat two silver cups only. Whether they were
filled remained to be seen
" Why?" She could not help but ask. He need not go through this much
trouble when just time alone with him would have been pleasing
enough.
Eomer only smiled as he dismounted, reaching for her he slowly placed
her on her feet. A light kiss placed upon her lips before he lead
them
to the blanket.
" I had this done in hope that you will accept my offer." He had
turned to face her , Taking hand and in his her brought it to his
lips, placing a light kiss upon her wrist as he lowered himself onto
one knee before her.
Nessa was at a loss for words as he looked up at her, locking his
eyes
with hers….
" It is my one hope, my own wish," He paused only to place another
soft kiss on her hand " I would be most honored if you were to grant
me this wish ,my love. The wish to have you become me wi
