“Yes! The Elf-Warrior is loose!” he cried. “I’m coming. Just you show me the way up, or I’ll skin you!”

I just love Sam 🤣

Snippet of song about one of the largest battle’s in the book… really good imagery.

“Long now they sleep under grass in Gondor by the Great River. Greg now as tears, gleaming silver, red then it rolled, roaring water: foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset; as beacons mountains burned at evening; red fell the dew in Rammas Echor.”

Convo continued:
“You come none too soon, my friend. Much loss and sorrow has befallen us.”
“Then let us avenge it, ere we speak of it!” said Aragorn, and they rode back to battle together.

• I really like the way this shows their friendship… true friendship! Éomer is really growing on me. •

Loved this:
“Thus we meet again, though all the hosts of Mordor lay between us,” said Aragorn. “Did I not say so at the Hornburg?”
“So you spoke,” said Éomer, “but hope oft deceives, and I knew not then that you were a man foresighted. Yet twice blessed is help unlooked for, and never was a meeting of friends more joyful.” And they clasped hand and hand. “Nor indeed more timely,” said Éomer.

“A creature or an older world maybe it was, whose kind, lingering in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon, outstayed their day and in hideous eyrie bred this last untimely brood, apt to evil.”

Bone chilling. Talk about a monster.

“Why? Why do the fools fly?” Said Denethor. “Better to burn sooner than late, for burn we must. Go back to your bonfire! And I? I will go now to my pyre to my pyre! No tomb for. Denathor and Faramir! No tomb! No long slow sleep of death in embalmed. We will burn like heathen kings before a ship sailed hither from the West. The West has failed. Go back and burn!”

Hes being hopeless but still sounds fierce🔥
