Anawiel reached the foot of a hill. On the top was the city of Minas Tirith, the chalky walls nearly blinding her with the light it reflected into her pale face. There was a crowd gathered around the main gates and she could hear shouts in the distance.
She didn't want to be confronted with a crowd of insane peasants wearing her blood-stained dress. She began to climb the hill, circling round to the East wall, hoping not to be noticed.
She heard a man's voice to her left and Anawiel dived down behind an Athelas bush. A second voice came - female this time and vaguley familiar. She peered over the bush and saw a young beared guard practically dragging a young peasant women. The woman hair was held back by surprisingly clean cloth without any fraying at the edges. She was also, Anawiel noticed, pregnant - about four or five months gone.
"Don't you know who I am?" cried the woman "I'm a relation to the king!!"
And suddenly it hit Anawiel - she knew this woman. A wry smile played on her lips. 'Now this,' she thought, 'could be fun.'
Patiently Anawiel waited. The male guard left the woman in the 'care' of a foot soldier. A call came from nearby and without any hesistation the soldier ran off towards the caller, leaving his captive alone. The woman looked around nervously, not sure as whether to leave or stay.
Anawiel straightened up, brushing herslef down and stepped out from behind the bush.
"Hello Arwen," she said. Arwen, for it was her, turned shocked to look at Anawiel, her eyes widened in disbelief. Anawiel relished this moment before she spoke again.
"Long time no see."
