My Sword Weeps - Book Two - 'My Sword' Series  by Agape4Gondor 3 Review(s)
FimbrethiReviewed Chapter: 3 on 12/29/2025
“Walking to the window, he slammed his hand down hard upon the nightstand, shattering it. He bowed his head, put his hand over his eyes and wept bitterly” that seems like a very fragile nightstand…
“I am sure he did, Aragorn. But you must hear me out. You are needed in Gondor. I carry even more fearsome tidings. Faramir, Denethor’s youngest, has fallen into a death sleep. He saw his brother murdered before him. He woke once, after the foul deed, but has since slipped away.”
Aragorn strode forward, wrapped the remnants of their meal in a napkin from the table, hitched his sword to his side, and ran out of the room.” Wow, first Aragorn heals Faramir here, and secondly, he really is in a hurry to get to Gondor! At least he remembered food, lol :)
“Three nights later, Aragorn found himself at the base of Weathertop. He camped for the night, pulling out the last of his food from the inn. He would have to hunt tomorrow, a prospect he did not look forward to. Time was too short. Tears stung his eyes again as he collected wood. ‘Would that I could have spoken to Denethor one last time. To have assuaged his fears, to have told him of my love for him and for Gondor. He wiped his right eye with his free hand, trying to stop the tears that fell. ‘I cannot go back. I cannot speak with the Steward again,’ he thought, ‘but I can save his son. I must speak with Elrond first, find what herbs I need, and then head east.’” hmmm. Things a getting interesting.

So, he goes home first before hading south into Gondor to Faramir's aid.

And he's met by Imladris's answer to Fred and George.

Seems a good place for Aragorn to head first - to consult with the 'senior physician' before going down to look after poor Faramir. Looking forward to seeing more!

Author Reply: *giggles* - I was going to have him go straight south - but a little voice said, Nay.... Besides - he might pick up a friend or two for help!
