Epilogue
Aragorn POV
I watched as Boromir fell over the waterfall. I had his cuffs, and put them on.
"Hurry!" Legolas said. "Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore." He pushed a boat into the water. He looked at me when I made no move to leave. I watched as the two Hobbits left on the other shore. "You mean not to follow them?"
"Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands." I said.
"Then it has all been in vain. The Fellowship has failed." Gimli said, walking over to us. I looked at them, and placed a hand on each of their shoulders.
"Not if we hold true to each other." I said. "We will not abandon Rowan, Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind." I left their sides. "We travel light." I put my dagger in its sheath. "Let's hunt some Orc." Then I ran off. There was a pause behind me.
"Yes!" I heard Gimli yell, happily, and he ran after me. Legolas soon followed quickly after.
Frodo POV
Sam and I climbed up a rocky hill. We looked out, and saw Mordor far in the distance.
"Mordor." I said. "I hope the others find a safer road."
"Strider will look after them." Sam reassured me.
"I don't suppose we'll ever see them again."
"We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may."
I smiled. "Sam," I said, looking at him. "I'm glad you're with me."
Sam smiled back, and then we walked on, not knowing how we were going to get there or what we were going to get into. All we knew is that we still had a small strand of our Fellowship.
And that was each other.
