A clash of swords shifted Éomer’s attention. He looked to his left and found himself in battle against Orcs. He barely had time to notice that he stood at the Fords of Isen before he parried an Orc blade that was swinging for his midsection. From the parry his blade swung, defensive arc turning to attack arc as he deftly beheaded the Orc who had sought to disembowel him. Not ten feet from where he stood with the Orc trunk at his feet, he saw his cousin felled from his horse, a heavy shafted Orc arrow impaling his right side. Éomer heard himself scream, “Théodred!”

Éomer awoke to a hand on his arm. He shoved it away fiercely. “My lord Éomer! It is me!” Éomer looked and saw his squire, Wulf getting up off the floor of his bedchamber, “You screamed in your sleep. I was trying wake you!”

Oh my. At least there is some Aragorn in him.

Those orcs!

Go nephew! But do not expect a welcome when you return!” That is indeed what immediately happened by him, but presently a day or so later you did receive welcoming company!

Éowyn seems more and more like Faramir—except she can’t escape to Ithilien, or wherever.

They’re in such a tough situation. They love their uncle but know they cannot tell him all or trust his close advisor - and therefore they feel they have to hide from him. This is so hard, — especially for people so young who love their uncle as a second father — even if they’ve been trained to their station and their duties.

Exactly! They find that they must go against everything they believe to keep whole what they love. Such a terrible time.

Thanks for writing!
