Vigil

The sunset flushes your face with the look of life, but it is a lie, only a lie; your hand remains as cold as death, though I will not let go, no, not though another army of orcs and oliphaunts appear before the broken Gate.

They say you fought bravely... I didn't see it, but I believe it. I remember how we stood back-to-back, surrounded, when they came to carry us to Isengard... you slashed at them, even cut off a few hands before they struck you to the ground.

I realise I'm weeping when Bergil holds out a pocket-handkerchief.
