Comrades by Amaroth
Disclaimer: These wonderful characters and the world of Middle Earth belong to the
good Professor and New Line Cinema. The dialogue from the point Gimli confronts Aragorn
is taken directly from the film.
Author’s note: This is a scene fill for ROTK told from Théoden, Legolas’ and Gimli’s
POV. I’d like to thank Lizzie for the great editing job.

scarce notice. His whole concentration was on the man he would find at the top of the
hill.
