May it Be

I'm glad you are here, at the end of all things, Sam. Frodo/Sam. POV. Spoilers!

Disclaimer: I own my fingers.

May it be an evening star

Shines down upon you

Mordor's smog covers the stars. You can't see no light, no stars. It's killing my star, the one that I hold in my arms as the biting heat of the morning turns to bitter chill now that night had shrouded the world.

"Wonder what it will be like in Lorien, Mister Frodo."

My master looks up, his eyes heavy. "They will be watching and hoping for us, Sam."

He smiled weakly. "Sam… I want to see the end of this Ring, so much… it's plagued my existence and only…" he drew in one ecstatic breath, "if I could see it fall… though it will take a bit of me will it when it goes, I fear."

May it be when darkness falls

Your heart will be true

I hold him again, "No," I whisper. "Never. You'll come back and you'll be fine, Frodo."

He smiled weakly and lifted the Ring from the chain on his neck. "See… it is fine, unblemished… such a thing of evil to call untold suffering upon this earth and not… to repent."

"You can't ask that of an object."

"Oh, Sam. It has a soul. It shares it with it's master."

You walk a lonely road

Oh! How you are from home

Despair painted with tints of hope, so far from the Shire, so hopeless even in hope. I clutched Frodo tight, tight. "I love you, mister Frodo and I promise I'll stay with you." I whispered.

Darkness has come

His voice hitched and a little amused Frodo whispered back, "I do too, Sam. You shouldn't be afraid, though darkness has come."

"Yes." I whisper and touch his lips with my own, oh so gently. "We're going to die, Frodo."

"I know." He sighs. "I may have to throw myself into Mount Doom, maybe I won't let the Ring go."

Believe and you will find your way

"I'll stay with you." I whisper back. "I love you, Frodo, more than Rosie, more than anyone I ever knew."

He smiled. "I know."

He's laughing at me, but he knows what I mean and I know he cares, at last. I love him, and he loves me, it's how it's meant to be. We're one in some way.

Darkness has fallen

A promise lives within you now.

A promise lives within you now.

Frodo stands, and says, cheerfully, "Let's go, Sam."

I stand and follow. I'm not afraid of death as long as I have Frodo by me.
