If you follow the Anduin to where it flows into the Sea, if you watch carefully at deep
midnight, you may see Boromir of Gondor, standing guard on the Western shore. His body
lies in state on a gently rocking boat, surrounded by the trophies of the enemies he
fought. The shadow of the warrior may lead you there, if you are lucky. And if you know
your tales well, you might even make out the outline of the ghost of his cloven horn,
returned to him now in death, at his hip as he walks.
And if you chance upon the son of the Steward on a fair night, you may even see his
companion, for the High King himself joins his lover nightly, to watch over their
entwined bodies and borders. Eldarion himself has ordered this, and his orders have been
obeyed. The High King Elessar was set adrift to find the flowing sea and found his love
instead.
Together in death as they could never be in life.
