Perhaps I had sent him on a hopeless quest. I can only do all in my power to protect Minas Tirith and I will not bow down to criticism. Mithrandir thinks he’s so wise but he knows not about how Gondor’s policies are upheld. Pelennor must be fought; Faramir should be the one to do it.

Then word came to me that the attempt to take back the Pelennor had failed; Faramir had fallen.

Oh Faramir! Had I, in my haste, sacrificed my only son left?

Angry tears fell and I knelt down in utter sorrow; the end was near.
