Simbelmyne was deep in thoughts while the other two were talking. When she looked up at last, she was surprised to see the pinnacle of a tall, black tower. "Orthanc" she thought. She has never been no near to Isengard that she'd see Saruman's tower.

Eruraina told Rinoa of what she planed to do after the war. "Sounds like a good plan after the war." Rinoa smiled and thought about if she would ever have a family of her own. As she left this train of thought she looked and saw the black tower of Orthanc in front of her.

She looked over towards the river and saw off in the distance the ruins of a dam and missing trees, then quitely to herself she said, "What a fool. He should know better than that."

As they rode towards the tower, Simbelmyne started thinking what she would do when the war is over. She had no idea, she has always been an enemy of Sauron and his armies and as soon as she has been able to stand she learned how to fight them. This has been her life.

It wasn't that long till the group of riders were comanded to go at a walk as they now walked through Fangorn.
"Fool he is. I bet it was him who woke up the trees... but if he hadn't then they wouldn't have come to our rescue..." Eruraina chuckled slightly, and kept her scences alert...

Rinoa was a warrior, she knew that. She always dreamed of living a peaceful life but the more she though about it, she began to wonder if she could life a life of peace. She knew that traveling would not last very long she has been to many places already. She longed to see all of Middle-Earth for herself.
She looked at Simbelmyne, and had a feeling that she was pondering on a similar question. She remained silent. Rinoa heard Eruraina's words and chuckled slightly as she remained on guard. With every step that was taken, the closer and closer they got to the black tower. Who knows what might still remain ther in the tower.

((Thanks It getting a little hard to post isn't it? But I'll give it a shot.))

Everyone finally arrived at the stone wall of the tower. It was utterly destroyed, and past it was the flooded courtyard. Rinoa was startled when she heard a voice shout, "Welcome to Orthanc!"

Eruraina looked up to see two hobbits sitting on the broken wall. One of them stood.
"Welcome my lords, to Isenguard." Merry said. Gimli said something, but Eruraina didn't catch it because she was watching what was going on behind the wall. She was watching the ents. Soon they started forward again, and now, in the courtyard, the horses were chest deep in water, muky discusting water...

((did you make the banner?))

((No, I wish I did though Aramel made the bottom one and Riniel made the top one. I don't have very good graphic makers. I did make the avvy though, I whish that the Japanese characters came out better though. ))

Rinoa looked up and saw Marry and Pippin, the two hobbits Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli were trying to find. She let out a sigh of relieve, and soon followed the others into the merky nasty waters. They group soon came across the ent, Treebeard. Rinoa smilled for a moment, then she was attracted to an object kind of glowing in the water. She was courious about what it was, but she guessed that it came from the tower and that it was not for her to know. As she came to that conclusion, she saw Pippin jump down and head towards the object.

Whit Pippen turned and everyone saw what it was, Eruraina gasped.
"The Planir... so thats how Sarun turned Saruman dark!"

Rinoa heard Eruraina say that the object was indeed the Palantir of Orthanc. "The Palantir? What is that? I've never heared of it before!" She heard Simbelmyne say. As Gandalf hid it in his cloak, Rinoa said, "The Palantir is a seeing stone, not all of them have been fornd so you never know who might be watching you. Sauron has one in Mordor and through the Palantir, he must have corrupted Saruman, just as Eruraina has said." Rinoa then kept her gaze forward, she was ready to leave Orthanc now and head for Edoras. She now understood what had unfolded here, as she came from her thoughts it appeared as though everyone was prepareing to leave.

Eruraina glanced at Roina. And as they were ready to leave, she paused and looked across Isengard. She had visited this place when Saruman wasn't corrupt, when this place was beautiful. Now the group left, and headed tward Edoras, the capital of Rohan...

Simbelmyne really was glad that they could leave Isengard again, she didn't like this place. Even if she hadn't seen how Saruman has poisoned this valley, she was afraid of his influence in Nan Curunir.

Now they headed back through Fangorn tward Edoras. Eruraina sudenly felt tired, and the pangs of hunger were starting to affect her. She regretted leaving behind her saddle-bag that was full of her food, but King Theoden had said to pack light, and thats what she did. She stiffled a yawn, hinding behind a hand...
