Feeling the water surge around him was making him dizzy. Not that he was unused to water. There were lakes and ponds in the Shire. He'd spent many afternoons fishing with Pippin and Frodo.
Maybe it was this vagueness that had surrounded him since they'd left Farmer Maggot's field. The sense of unreality—that things had changed and nothing would ever make sense again. The strange height of the Men and Elves, the shriek of the Nazgul, Frodo's eyes when he started to fade—
But his cousin wasn't Frodo anymore. He was the Ringbearer. And Merry—Merry was simply afraid.
