Erana smiled, and answered Arwen " Yes, I believe you are right. Already I grow very fond of this land, but especially this city, it is marvellous. I have not come across any fault, but still, I believe Rohan will always have a special place in my heart none the less." she spoke, and as she compared her compassion for Rohan to her feelings for the Reunited Kingdom, she felt that already it has become almost her second home, she felt comfortable and loved in this country.
As Arwen went on, speaking of the alliance between Gondor and Rohan, she answered "Well, the people of Rohan feel tightly bound to your country, Arwen, as the kings of gondor once gave us the land, and ever then, whenever Gondor may call for aid through the beacons, Rohan will gather it's warriors and come as swiftly as possible." she said and felt how proud she was of her country.

“And no-one can fault you, on where your heart truly lies. Your homeland will always be apart of you, no matter what anyone says,” Arwen smiled. The warmth of the room, came from the window and candles. Where the sun and heat flaked through the windows towards them. Brightening up the white hall. Whence Arwen had laid her eyes upon it the first time, she was overwhelmed by the natural light and beauty it displayed. Then, as she thought about it. She could not expect any less of the hall.
She would never forget residing in Minas Tirith, or the lands of Gondor. She had found a powerful bond among the people of the city, and it would be unfortunate and devastating to loose. Erana spoke of her land, and her people with great pride. Her homeland was truly precious to her and it reflected in her being and her words. Arwen smiled, “Aye. Always will Gondor return that aid, if Rohan should ever call for it. Times have changed. There will never again, I hope, be the volatility which the past Steward, once held among our people. It was a shame, that Gondor and Rohan went through such a devastating time as that. Yet, we can not live in the past. We can learn from it.”

Erana nodded to Lady Arwen's words and sighed. Indeed, the days of Denethor and Theoden have passed, and better days have come. The past has strengthened the bond between Rohan and Gondor. "You are right, Arwen, people should learn from the past, not repeat all the mistakes our ancesters already made." she answered her. Erana looked around in the great hall of the throne room, it was a wonderful, light-filled room. She looked over to the door, and she wondered where Eldarion was. She missed him, although this place seemed more and more familiar to her, she still was new in Minas Tirith and he was the only person she knew.

Arwen smiled at Erana. She had only arrived in the past hour, and she was easily warming up to her husband to be’s family. That was always a good sign, and it helped the family get used to another being around. The History of Arda, and all the wrongs that had passed, were still in different ways being repeated and it appeared that not many were learning from the loss and the grief, found during those many years, of despair.
Arwen nodded, “History, may very well be the future, if people do not learn from it,” she sighed, “Do not mind the delay, Eldarion is most likely consulting Arawyn. She has pinning for his return, they were very close, during childhood. They still are now. They should not be too long now.”

Arawyn then took him to their room and set down her twins, then picked up her adoptive son and smiled to El, "This is him. His name is Alladan," she smiled to her brother, "I promised Elphir that we'd raise him as my own, I hope you will too," she said to him. Eldarion smiled and followed his sister to her room as she led him and then as they arrived, the twins was being layed down as she picked up another child. The son of Katherina witch was Elphir ex wife, he looked at the child and then her sister with a smile before he spoke gently."Yes well of course, I`ll do what I can but I also have now a future to think of as I am getting married..anyway its a nice child and a great name he as."He said smiling and touched the child hands with his finger, he was so small but still alive as a baby should. |

"I know that, but your still his Uncle, and I'll come visit from Dol Amroth," she smiled to him, "You do plan on staying and taking over Minas right?" She then asked curiously.

Eldarion looked at his sister and smiled of what she said then nodded simply as answer but then shortly spoke after, thinking it was nice being home again with his family."Yes, of course I`ll stay. I havent though about leaving now anyways, I am tired of it and its time for me to be home with my family."He said kindly and so turned his gaze towards his sister children and though how nice it would be to have children to raise and take care of but also stressing, he smiled as though of his future would be.

She nodded an tucked in all the cildre, "Sleep well my children," she smiled to her kids, "C'mon Ell, I'm sure Naneth would be glad to spend time with you," she smiled, holding her hand out to him.

Eldarion stood there smiling as his sister spoke and said goodnight to her children that she had taken care of in so long time even without Elphir`s help since he was mostly gone for war or other buisniss, he was glad to be home and together with his sister again..it had been to long since they had meet. When she took his hand and told that he should go back to his mom and fiancée he nodded and though he probably should, but then also wondered if she were coming along."Alright..you coming with me then? We have lots to plan you know, now as the upcoming dobble wedding are coming up."He said smiling and then stepped closer to the door, ready to leave.

Erana nodded to Arwen's words about the history, they were the same opinion there. And she curiously listened to what the Queen told her about her fiancé and his sister, although Eldarion has told her much about his sister and she had guessed they were very close, she still wanted to know more about the family she now would marry into. "Well, I believe Eldarion can't wait to see his nephews and his niece now at last, he was so eager to get to know them at last, on the whole journey. Seeing his family again was the one thing that kept him alife when I found him at the start, and he loved telling me more stories of his life." she told Arwen.

Arwen nodded, “Yes. Many people do enjoy stories. I do, from word of mouth or even handwriting and I try my utter most to get my children into reading stories of old for I believe they are most beneficial. Despite those of memories, they are worth more than any treasure possessed on this earth. They are what make someone who they are. Without memories, they would not learn anything nor have fluent ideas on how to approach conflict.”
She nodded in the direction Eldarion and Arawyn had disappeared in, “I try my best to keep my family together. It is a hard thing to loose. The love a family can surrender towards one another. One may appear the curliest person in the whole of Arda, yet to their family they may be the most loving. These are what memories are for. Teaching and Treasure.”

Arawyn nodded and took his hand and hugged him, "I'm glad you're back El," she smiled and then the two headed back to the main room where everyone was. Though she couldn't help but look out the door, praying her fiance would walk back in, even though he had just left.

"You are lucky, Lady Arwen, to have such a wonderful and loving family." Erana spoke to her mother-in-law to be. "Your children have grown to respectful adults, I believe you and Aragorn found the right way to raise them up. It is always the family, but most the parents who influence their children's behaviour and personality." she answered Arwen. She wondered how the celebrations in Gondor differed from those in Rohan, to imagine how her wedding would be, probably the double wedding with Arawyn and Elphir as well. She knew, it would be a wonderful day in every detail, although she felt a little nervous about it.

Eldarion smiled to his sister as she spoke and told she was glad to see him again, he was happy as well cause long had he been waiting to be with his family and finally he were. When she dragged him out into the throne room hall where the rest was waiting on them, he smiled cause it meant he would be with the woman he loved and his mother again. He loved being around them cause they always filled his life with happiness along with the rest of the family, finally he wasn't alone anymore..he had his family and those he loved around him once more after a such a long time of loneliness and sorrow.
As they entered the throne room and he could see his future wife to be and his mother speaking to each other, it made believe his family had accepted him to marry her and it was good cause more then anything he wanted to do so. He just hoped all would go well until the wedding day and that nothing bad would appear to them which could ruin it, he loved her more then anything.

Arwen smiled, “Yes, some people might say that, others may see it was the child who intended to be respectful and that their parents did not influence them at all.”
She noticed movement flicker in the entrance. Eldarion had returned to claim his wife. They were both weary and should get some rest, “I trust all is well with Arawyn?” she asked her son as he strode towards them.
Arwen took the chance of standing. She did so quite slowly. It was hard to suddenly stand with extra weight in your stomach. Yet, she was able to take a graceful stand. Her eyes focused on her son. He had grown into a proud man, and she could see the happiness in his eyes. She was glad he was happy. She would do anything, in order for her children to be happy.
