“I think it’ll be important to see what’s on her mind,” Merry glanced at Faramir’s own downcast eyes and studied Faramir as he looked now quiet and deep in his own thoughts. “Are you feeling alright too?”
“It’s nothing,” replied Faramir with a wan smile. “There is lots to prepare for the arrival of the King and the soldiers who marched upon the Black Gate. I need to resume the duties as …as Steward now,” and with that Faramir bid Merry a fond farewell and wished him luck with finding his kin and turned to speak with the Council of the preparations.
Merry thought hard about all that Faramir had gone through and worried about him as well. Didn’t he have enough to worry about? He certainly didn’t want to think the worst of how his cousins and Sam were. Were they all right? Were they alive?
Merry stood biting his nails but came back to the present when a messenger summoned him to hurry on to the ship that will carry him to Ithilien. Merry took a deep breath though anxiety was making it hard to concentrate. He forced himself to keep a calm facade but all he could think about and wish fervently was that his friends were alive.
"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series
"He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings."- Siege of Gondor, RotK
