The army of Gondor stood against the hordes of Mordor like a rock in the storm but they knew that there was no chance of victory. But suddenly a loud call went through the army of the west. The Eagles are coming! The hosts of Mordor looked up and wondered for this sign.
Then suddenly there was a great rumble in Mount Doom and the Vulcan tried to break. Sauron disappeared with the destruction of the Ring and the Dark Tower brake. The Nazgûls vanished from the surface for ever and the army of the Dark Land scattered without any leader and fled before the army of Gondor.
Gandalf, who had some kind of foreboding, called for the Eagles and asked Gwaihir, the lord of the winds, and two others to take him to Mount Doom. There they found Frodo and Sam and took them away from the breaking mountain.
When they awoke they were dressed in new cloth and lay in a tent on the green grass. The had been taken to the army-camp after the battle, which had been made in Ithilien and they were honoured by all the army for their deeds. Then the army moved back to Gondor and was welcomed in Minas Tirith and now the king entered the city open - Aragorn took his place as the King of Gondor.
