stoneofthehapless:The King of the Oathbreakers; art by Ted Nasmith‘The Dead are following,’ said Legolas. ‘I see shapes of Men and of horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night. The Dead are following.’‘Yes, the Dead ride behind. They have been summoned,’ said Elladan.The Company came at last out of the ravine, as suddenly as it they had issued from a crack in a wall; and there lay the uplands of a great vale before them, and the stream beside them went down with a cold voice over many falls….But Aragorn dismounted, and standing by the Stone he cried in a great voice: ‘Oathbreakers, why have ye come?’And a voice was heard out of the night that answered him, as if from far away: ‘To fulfil our oath and have peace.’…But when the dawn came, cold and pale, Aragorn rose at once, and he led the Company forth upon the journey of greatest haste and weariness that any among them had known, save he alone, and only his will held them to go on. — J.R.R.
