Musings of Shieldmaidens and Kings

Beauty And Pain

He told me I was beautiful. He told me that I was more lovely than flower nor maiden of Gondor. He told me that it would please him to see me while the war is not yet lost, at the very end of this hope I had struggled to hold on to.

And I was frightened.

If I let my emotions run me, if I gave him my love, my heart might break again. I had already dealt with that mind-numbing pain once; I would not, I could not survive it again.

A/N: An Éowyn story, brought to you by yours truly. This one is my favorite of all the ones I wrote so far. So this one is about Éowyn and Faramir when they first meet in the Houses of Healing, and Eowyn's reflection on it. It sounds a lot like me.

Anyway…I need 'brother(not kin)' in Quenya. If you can tell me in reviews I will thank you.
