Faramir had dreamed of the wave again last night. Was Middle-earth doomed to be destroyed like Númenor of old?
 
The Steward wandered through the gardens trying to dispel his dark thoughts. A single primrose bloom caught his eye. Every year without fail, the dainty yellow flowers blossomed as heralds of spring’s return. His spirits rose.

“My Lord?”

Faramir turned and saw the Warden with a stranger. His head spun, while his heart soared. Never had he beheld a maiden so fair! The darkness, could not, would not prevail; not now a maid with sun bright hair had stolen his heart!
