Six human years and ninety-one days from the day I have left Lothlorien.
The courier was out on his job, so I couldn't hear a word from my homeland even if there is one. After having a relaxing walk around the settlement, I've bought ourselves a breakfast from a passing hobbit caravan; the hobbit seemed to be really happy for earning some money from the food he's proud of. He told me how he fled when the Nazguls ran into the Shire. Surely, dark days are upon us.
When I returned to the inn, I hoped to see the sleeping warden. I was planning to make him a suprise as an appreciation. But he was already gone. As I have learnt from the others in the inn, he was waken up by the courier in a hurry, and taken away with him immidiately. My soul trembled with affliction when I have heard the news were from the battlefield. I was about to leave after him with an arisen urge, hoping to catch him on the way but a letter was handed to me by the bard who stopped me at the door.
The letter was from Frostwhisper.
His words were written in a hurry, as I take from his handwriting which was fairly different than usual and the ink spots scattered on the paper. He wrote about the army's need of him on the battlefied, for the assault to the Witch king. I don't know what foolish mind tricked a whole army to believe they could take down Witch King. I wish I could stop him, I know it is not possible. I can't even imagine myself in front of the wretched creatures. I also can't stand thinking of him there...
He wanted me to wait for him here at Ost Guruth. I don't know if I can while my feet refuse to stand here. But when I think about it, he is right wishing me to stay. What help could I be if I can't even face a bunch of half breed thieves? I might only be a tie on their feet, aside from being any assistance.
Every skill is needed somewhere and mine is not there. It is here I can be useful. The only thing I can is to protect the place I am able to, so not any more trouble will disturb the lands. All the attention is needed on the battlefield.
I've given the food to some kids here. I pray for his well being. I will maintain the peace we achieved together, and be here when he returns.
