Eorl of Rohan's post
Ferethor reined in his horse by the eve of Greenwood the Great, which was once called Mirkwood. The sun cast it's last rays upon the forest ans sank beyond the Misty Mountains. He was singing what snatches he could remember of a song of lore he once heard long ago, improvising the tune as he went. "Grey as tears, gleaming silver Red then it rolled, roaring water..." When he dismounted and camped for the night, he had time enough to brood over what he was going to do. "The legacy..." He rolled the thought around in his mind. Then he smiled. "Even if it was true, why wouldn't have the villain or whatever he is used it all?" He was suddenly furious at the king, though he knew it was not loyal. "This, a special mission from the king? For Illuvatar's gaze! What use could there possibly be in following after a petty villain and the legacy he is supposed to have?" "What of the Shire, from which I was sent?" He talked the the gathering night. His horse nuzzled up to his face, and was given a piece of carrot. "Even though the time of Darkness is past, orcs, Wargs and other evil creature prowl around the borders of Shire" Ferethor thought with anger. "If soldiers of Gonder does not patrol and defend shire, there would be no peace for these holbytlans. Whither shall they flee from the oncoming dread if we did not protect them? But now we are withdrawn, few as we are, to chase after daydreams!" Nevertheless, he was wondering how to join the company under disguised name when he fell asleep. <font size=1 color=339966>[ 4:54 AM January 28, 2004: Message edited by: piosenniel ]
