"Rohan"

Travelers in Rohan, and Eomer is curious. Halflings, like children with adult faces, an Elf, a Dwarf, Men.

The Fellowship, travelling to Mordor, on a mission of utmost importance. They won't say why, not precisely, and it is only when he sees Frodo alone one night that he learns.

Gold slips off a silver chain, slides free from Frodo's neck, and Eomer is holding it before he realizes he moved. Warm from hobbit skin, he can hear it, low and sinister, whispering his name.

His fingers close, hold fast, and he turns away from Frodo's stricken eyes.
