Journey to the hidden city

"I know you're just joking about that Arwen. I know most of those girls already, and if they haven't changed in 50 years, they would still be the same sweet innocent girls that took me around the city."

"They haven't changed a bit. That's the scary thing with us Elves, time moves so slowly that change only happens as a matter of necessity."

"I can imagine, you haven't changed a bit. Before we continue with these pleasantries, do you mind removing these constraints please?"

"Hmm, I may just leave them on, I seem to remember you getting quite touchy when we're on horse back."

"Well, we Orcs were never meant to be on horseback, we need something to hold onto otherwise we get uneasy." You say innocently.

"Oh really?" Arwen says as she looks back at you with a perfectly raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, and there's nothing to worry about on your part, you've already seen everything I have to offer."

"What do you mean?" She said as she flipped around in the saddle to talk to you face to face.

"In the cell, when we first met. When you saw me with my cock hanging out while taking a piss."

"I did not!" She said haughtily, all dignified.

"Admit it, you saw it. Nothing's wrong with that, I'm just worried about what you may be hiding under those flowing robes." You say while smiling good naturedly at your old friend.

"I know what you're trying to do, it's not like I'm hiding a snake up my dress."

"I hope not, that would probably give Aragorn quite the scare." You joke.

"Baldor, you're incorrigible." She laughs as she leans over and unties your bonds that were restraining your hands. Watching her lean over like that to try and get behind you gives you a perfect view of her cleavage through her neck line dress, and the shape of her ass as her dress stretches out to outline the shape. As she was crawling backwards to get back into the saddle, she stumbled on your leg and lost balance. How did you catch her?

[A1]- Use the opportunity to gently, but obviously touch her ass

[A2]- Wrap your arm around her so that your arm covers her breasts

[A3]- Wrap onto her waist and pull her towards you

Arwen looks back at you a little embarrassed as she straightens her riding dress and takes the reigns back before muttering something about your big legs. You keep your hands to yourself as you think to yourself that you've done enough for now. "So, how's Aragorn?"

"He's fine, he should be there when we arrive. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."

"Yeah, I'm sure." You, Aragorn and Arwen were inseparable in the short time that Aragorn spent with you both in Rivendell. Sooner than any of you hoped, he decided to leave to join the rest of his kin as a Ranger patrolling the borders of the Shire. "Are you sure he won't mind me being there? You know your and my history and all that."

"We're all adults here Baldor, the past is the past."

"Well it's nice to know you let things go so easily." Arwen looks back at you as you enter a familiar forest, you must be getting closer to the enchanted river of the Elves.

"I'd rather not talk about it, but since you're insisting. It was nice what we had, ok, but recognize I said had as in past tense."

"Yeah, I know. I'm an Orc not an idiot."

"I'm glad." She said dryly "I've moved on ok, so should you."

"Hah! To think I was going to ask you to join me with those Elves you were going to send."

"And to think I was on the bubble about accepting!" She shouted as you both endured the awkward silence. You snort in disgust, partially at Arwen and partially at yourself for acting like an immature love sick little orcling. You look around the forest when you see fleeting images of running shapes in the forest as their horse races by.

"Arwen, they're shapes in the woods running."

"I know." She said tersely "I'm surprised you just noticed them, they're orcs or some foul spawn of them."

"Those are no orcs. Saruman?"

"What does Saruman the White have to do with this?"

"Nothing."

Do you tell her what you know?

[B1]- Yes

[B2]- No

[B3]- Wait until you've told Elrond

"Why are we running from them Arwen?"

"I'm a single Elf, I can't take them all down."

"I can help!"

"You're supposed to be a prisoner, though that cover is probably blown by now anyway. No matter, we're almost to the river crossing, they will not cross into the water."

"You're the boss." You say resignedly. As you continue to gallop through the forest towards the safety of the river before you, an arrow soars over your head, and hits a tree in front of you.

"Baldor! Are you ok?" Arwen shouts as she doesn't pull her eyes away from the ground in front of her.

"I'm fine! They're not aiming for me, they're trying to get you by going around me. It seems as if my cover is still intact." Just as you said that, another arrow whisks above your head much closer to you than the other one. "Rhaich" You swear in Elvish which means curses.

"Hey! You're in the presence of a lady."

"Sorry, maybe they're are trying to kill me. Can you speed this thing up a little?"

"This thing is going as fast as possible, just lower your head and stop being a baby."

"I hate it when you get bossy."

"You love it."

"I really don't think this is the time for flirting!" You shout as a rain of arrows starts to come down around you.

"Hold onto your panties!" Arwen shouts as you break out of the forest and see the river in front of you. Arwen whispers something in Elvish to the horse as the horse finds another gear of speed, and before you know it you're across to the other side. You stay behind Arwen so that the orcs can't see you clearly as you watch them poor out of the forest. They're nothing like Orcs, they're fairly humanoid though with the darkish skin of an orc, somehow they look fairly similar to you. Arwen looks back at you, and you can see that she was thinking the same thing.

"First of all, I don't have panties, and second of all let's get out of here."

"The first is yet to be determined, and as for the second, I agree." She said as she trotted the horse above the hill and out of sight of he strange orcs on the shore.

"You're sure they won't follow right?"

"I'm sure." She left it at that, as the two of you continue down the hill towards a large tree on the side of the road. Arwen stopped before it and jumped down gracefully, and reached up to help you down. Do you

[C1]- Accept her hand

[C2]- Struggle down yourself

[C3]- surprise both of you and slide down as gracefully as her

"Do you remember this tree Baldor?" Arwen said as she ran into the shade of the great oak and lay down beneath it's great branches. You walk over and lay beside her as memories of you two dancing beneath the leaves and singing seemed like another life.

"We came here on our first date didn't we?" You say as you look at her to see she was looking at you too.

"You've changed Baldor. I see much suffering and despair in your face now, that was once filled with such immense joy. You've withered." You turn away from her and look up into the shade of the leaves hanging above you both, not wanting her to get her affirmation though you know she already had it.

"I have withered Arwen. When you've gone through the things I've gone through, surrounded by such evil, it's hard to even keep a spark of light in your heart, when the rest is engulfed in shadow."

"Come here." She says as she opens her arms for a hug, but you shake your head.

"What would Aragorn say, we should just stay like this, I've haven't felt this much peace in so long." Arwen was having none of it, as she saw through your flimsy arguments and rolled on top of you.

"Forget about Aragorn, he's a grown man, he can take care of himself." She said from above your face, the view of which was intoxicating.

"He's still a child in my eyes, I'm more than twice his age."

"Relax, we're just two friends reminiscing on old times, and I'm trying to cheer you up."

"Are we just friend Arwen? I admit, I still have feelings for you, and what you're doing now, that's not an act of friendship." You say pointedly. Arwen looks down at the position you're in and sees how close you two are before blushing and trying to pull away. Do you

[D1]- Let her

[D2]- Bring her in for a kiss

[D3]- Kiss and feel

"Ahem!" You both hear as you break away from each other like a speeding bullet. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything? It is good to see you again Baldor!" You look up and see

[E1]- Aragorn

[E2]- Elrond

[E3]- Arwen's brothers Elladan and Elrohir
