The Lord of the Rings

A Brief Respite

By Ainaechoiriel

"In Imladris it dwells," Boromir repeated. "My father says it is a realm of Elves in the north, home to Elrond HalfElven."

Eomer leaned against the stall. "I never heard of it. Elves, though, I heard of. Dangerous lot, half or whole. We likely shall never see that horse again."

Boromir smiled, glad for a moment of mirth. "Good to know your concern is right-placed, Eomer, son of omund. Fear not. You shall see your horse again."

Eomer took hold of Boromir's shoulder. "I speak in seriousness, Boromir, son of Denethor. Can the horse return if her rider does not?"
