A/N: Nothing is mine-or I'd be killing certain Aragorn/Eowyn shippers out there.. What's more this story is published against my better judgment. I said I wasn't going to publish any LOTR stuff until the ROTK comes out, so I lied. Sue me. I also have four stories going on right now besides this one, so I will not be updating more than once a week, it is simply impossible with my workload. Anyway, thanks, you know the drill, R&R.. ****PLEASE****

Third Month 2nd day

My name is Éowyn, daughter of Eomund of the House of Eorl. Well, this is new. I've never kept a journal before. Well, truth be told, I was given this years ago by my brother Eomer. But I have not felt like using it until now.

You see today is special because now there is hope for Rohan once again, my uncle Théoden King has finally been saved from the witchcraft and lechery of Saruman and his slave Wormtongue. Mithrandir, or Gandalf as some call him, is responsible for this. Mithrandir has saved him, and all of Rohan, if only my brother and cousin were here to see it now. But my brother Eomer is banished by the evil Wormtongue and too far to recall now, and my cousin Theodred is dead. He "died" of a battle wound, but I know better, it is Wormtongue who poisoned him, for his wound was not fatal, it was just a good excuse to get rid of someone who might tell Théoden he was in trouble before it was the worm's time. I have hope I shall see my brother again, for great battles are coming, and my brother is a lethal warrior he will fight for Rohan's king once again.

On a new light, Mithrandir brought three travelers with him, whose like I have never seen. There is a dwarf named Gimli son of Gloin, an elf Prince Legolas son of King Thrandul, and finally a human, Aragorn son of Arathorn of the Dunedain. The dwarf is a stout warrior I hear, which is good we shall need that, and he is very funny. The Elf is solemn and wise, young and old all at the same time. He too is a deadly warrior I hear, and he is handsome in his own right, but he is not really my type. Aragorn is all of these things, yet he is far older than I. Besides, the chances of anyone surviving this war are slim. I must attend my king now, for he calls.
