Ceryl
Ceryl's heart ached when she heard the girl say that she had no idea where she was from. It would be horrible to forget her family and friends. When the girl asked who the "other Eowyn" was, Ceryl was a bit startled, but then remembered that Eowyn had forgotten everything.
"Well, miss Eowyn, get ready for a long story, but well worth the time. Last year at this time, there was a grand war, as you heard the woman over there say. The War of the Ring. King Theoden was King of Rohan then, but he was old and frail. Then four strangers came and Theoden became strong again! He had a niece and nephew, Eowyn and Eomer. They were brother and sister..."
Eowyn listened carefully as Ceryl told of the great war, and Eowyn's heroic deeds. Her eyes widened as she heard of Eowyn helping to slay the great Witchking, and by the time Ceryl was finished her hands were clasped in front of her and her eyes were shining.
Ceryl smiled, saying, "Well, now you know who Eowyn is. You should be proud to share a name with the bravest woman in Rohan."
