Duty.
It is my duty to end this war. For Middle Earth. For Gondor. For Faramir. For my father. For my honour. I do not care how I must do it, I simply must.
I have watched the Halfling with the Ring – he does not comprehend the immense power it has nor does he fathom how to wield it. I do. It tells me I do. It screams at me to take it from him; begs me to do my duty. Now it has begun to taunt me, to question my devotion to Gondor, to my family…it mocks my honour, my fealty to Gondor, to my father…
I will not be insulted that way. I will take it. I will snatch it from 'round his neck, even if I have to strangle him with the very chain it hangs on.
It is my duty. My honour.
