Last year, I stumbled upon this intriguing piece of Aragorn\/Alfred cross-over fan fiction, written by Freikugels<\/a>. Republished with permission of the author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

In a small village located between the villages of Burrowbridge and East Lyng, the Dawnguard Pub remained as lively as ever. Men gulping pints and having a laugh, clatters of glasses chiming across the place, and serenades from the waitresses. It was a buzzing sight, like a beacon amidst the shadow of an approaching conflict.

Outside the festive crowd, a man sat on his table on the corner in his lonesome. He wore a ragged black traveling cloak, his hood concealing most of his facial features. The traveler sat in silence, smoking his pipe as his eyes trailed across his journal. He occasionally squiggled a few sentences on it with his quill, while humming a melody at the same time. It was a song he was clearly fond of, remarked by the light simper on his lips as he jotted down the lyrics from memory; \u2018shadowy hair and arms like silver glimmering\u2026\u2019

\u201c\u2026you’re writing something, sire?\u201d

A soft voice broke her out from his reverie. He turned up and noticed a beautiful woman whom he recognized. She was carrying a tray of his meal\u2014 a bucket of bread and ham slices, and a few apples.

\u201cJust something I needed to recall, Merewenna,\u201d the traveler replied politely. \u201cAnd please, do not call me sire at this time. I am but a mere traveler.\u201d
Merewenna exhaled, placing the tray on top of the table before sitting across him. She looked happy to see him.
\u201cA mere traveler who stands for the weak and risks his life for his people,\u201d she added.
\u201cIt is my responsibility, nothing more.\u201d
\u201cYou’d be surprised by just how few actually fulfills that responsibility.\u201d
\u201cI don’t know about that. Perhaps they’re doing the same thing I’m doing, watching from within.\u201d
Merewenna sneered smugly. \u201cUnfortunately, you were the one I caught in the act.\u201d
\u201cThat, you did,\u201d the traveler agreed, chuckling. \u201cHad I not been entranced by your beauty and
grace the first time I came here, it would’ve been a different story\u2026\u201d

Ah, he could recall that day vividly. Her angelic voice greeted him the moment he stepped in, and his immaculate beauty somehow bewitched him. It kept him coming back\u2026 and eventually, she realized it and knew who he was.

\u201cA less exciting one, perhaps?\u201d asked Merewenna, toying with the idea.
\u201cPerhaps,\u201d the traveler nodded. \u201cPerhaps I wouldn’t have thought that I stepped into a dream when I came here. Perhaps I would never experience a feeling of love as prevalent as this. Perhaps I wouldn’t imagine spending the rest of my life with you to the very end\u2026\u201d

Merewenna blushed slightly, but her eyes remained on the traveler.

\u201cI still feel undeserving of such love,\u201d she uttered.
\u201cDo not be, because I love you without question,\u201d said the traveler. \u201cIf by my life or death I can protect you, then I surely will. My sword belongs to you, as it is to me.\u201d
\u201cI hope it doesn’t come to that,\u201d said Merewenna. \u201cI simply hope to live a happy life with you.\u201d
\u201cThat is what I yearn to do, once all the dust has settled.\u201d
\u201cBut\u2026 when will it settle?\u201d

The traveler heaved a sigh, unable to answer that question right away. As far as he knew, a storm is brewing within the kingdom, and a conflict is impending. The unrest was something he simply could not get rid of easily.

\u201cWhen the time calls for it,\u201d he eventually said. \u201cI do not seek war, but if that’s what they want\u2026 I\u2014 no, we, will not stand down without a fight.\u201d
\u201cSo\u2026 you’ll risk your life in the front lines if it happens?\u201d asked Merewenna, concern written all over her eyes.
\u201cYes, for that is my task,\u201d the traveler replied. \u201cI do not fear death, nor do I concern myself with the matter. If it means protecting my people, then so be it.\u201d
\u201cBut\u2026 should you fall, the kingdom would be powerless without you\u2026!\u201d
\u201cIt won’t be. I have raised and guided everyone to stand firm no matter what,\u201d the traveler affirmed. \u201cWhatever obstacle stood in their way, with or without my guidance\u2026 they will find the hope and strength to prevail. I believe that my people will do that.\u201d

Merewenna fell into silence, mulling over the traveler’s words. Somehow, his words always find a way to comfort her, to reassure her beliefs\u2026

\u201c\u2026I know for a fact that I will find that hope,\u201d she said afterwards, a valiant smile curling on her lips. \u201cAt the very least, I will follow your guidance.\u201d

The traveler chuckled again. \u201cI’m glad to hear that. I will not let this kingdom fall, even if I myself do. I won’t stop helping my people from torment and death, as long as my strength remains. Though\u2026 the time where our bonds and fellowship will be tested and may be broken is still far. It will happen someday, and we must all prepare for it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cI can imagine you putting up that gallant speech in front of your brave men,\u201d Merewenna joked.
\u201cI’m a stranger to your kingdom affairs, and even I feel reassured by your words\u2026\u201d
\u201cWell\u2026 that’s what I aim to do.\u201d

The traveler then began taking a bite off his meal, with Merewenna just watching intently. Longingly. Once all of this blows over, he promised to live together with her\u2026 she hoped he’ll make up his word. She noticed something right beside the traveler’s journal\u2014 a black stone with a somewhat mystifying aura surrounding it. Merewenna felt somewhat unsettled by it, so she decided to bring it up.

\u201cThat stone\u2026 what is that?\u201d
The traveler caressed the stone like it was his pet, calmly addressing the matter.
\u201cThis is a stone that holds tremendous power, one that only I can wield because I am the rightful master of it,\u201d he explained. \u201cI possess the right and the strength to control it\u2026 as I have judged in the past.\u201d

He pushed the food basket aside and got up from his seat after that, placing the stone and his journal back to his rucksack.

\u201cWill you come visit again?\u201d asked Merewenna anxiously.
\u201cIf the time calls for it,\u201d the traveler replied with a soft, reassuring smile.
Lugging her rucksack, the traveler trudged through the crowded pub. As he was about to reach the exit, however\u2014
\u201cOi, watch it!\u201d

Someone had bumped into him. The person took a step back and was about to spout a few curses\u2026 but his jaw fell open by what he saw. Everyone, too, fell silent. For the traveler’s hood fell down, revealing a handsome man underneath. He wore a chain around his neck, dangling a plain broad silver ring inscribed with the words \u2018I am Ring\u2019.

\u201c\u2026K\u2014King Alfred?! P\u2014pardon my insolence, my lord!\u201d

The man who just bumped into the king immediately bowed down, and so did everyone else in the pub. King Alfred, however, shook his head.
\u201cRaise your head, my friends!\u201d he spoke, his voice as clear as day. \u201cYou will bow to no one, not even me! For I view you as equal, and I wish you all to view me the same way I do. That’s why I came with these cloaks and not a gown of royalty\u2014 because you and I are the same!\u201d
Everyone immediately got back on their feet as King Alfred finished his speech.
\u201cHuzzah to King Alfred!\u201d shouted one man at the back of the pub.
\u201cHuzzah!\u201d

Everyone followed the cheers, as King Alfred smiled at every single one of them\u2026 hoping that he could install hope to these people, along with everyone in his kingdom. As long as he could do that\u2026 he was satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
