I don't own LOTR.

Lorna brought her horse to a gallop after a few minutes of lazy walking. Tobrecan followed suit, still singing. The mist had suddenly lifted and Lorna could see over her shoulder the city gates. She sighed heavily and looked ahead. The forests of nearby Ithilien loomed dark and foreboding, and Lorna feared them, for she had heard many stories of the dangers that now taken it as their home since the coming of shadow to the East. Tobrecan told her they would not go that way, though. Instead they would travel the great west road to Rohan. It would take many weeks, but they had brought provisions and would stop at villages on the way.
Lorna looked back once more before the only city she had ever known disappeared into the grass, and heard a cry on the wind:
"Lorna!" was the shout. Fresh tears came to her eyes and she slowed her horse.
"Farewell, Boromir! Don't forget me!" she cried. Tobrecan turned his horse and trotted back to her.
"Are we set to go? Or is there some business you must take care of?" he asked.
"We can go." Lorna replied, and then they left all view of the city.
