The Assualt on Osgliath

The men of Gondor were know waiting for the enemy to cross there scouts had reported a host of orc landing boats coming across the river to there side of the bay. Faramir and Boromir were the nearest to the shore bed waiting to engage the first wave of orcs. Boromir glanced to his brother he was know mighty clad with armour and looking tall among men.

Boromir: " Stay with me brother for I will protect you"

Boromir gave a warm smile and a wink to his brother. As that was said the first wave of orcs began to land the men of Gondor let them enter the city first off then they attacked.

The battle was fierce the first wave of orcs were destroyed but more came across the broken bridge and by the river soon the city would be overwhelmed. Boromir had pulled back to the main part of the city with Faramir leading the rangers by the bridge trying to hold the enemy back. One of Faramirs rangers came over to him covered in blood.

Ranger: "Captain Faramir the city is overun we cannot hold any longer, will you sound the retreat?"

Faramir pondered this and began to look around the city and his man was right the city was overun.

Faramir: "Tell the men to break cover we ride for Minas Tirith"

As he said that Nazgul began to swoop down into the city killing and random, Faramir then looked worried and searched for Boromir. Faramir looked among the dead by the river bed but could not find his brother he kept asking the retreating soldiers were is he but they never answered.

Meanwhile as Faramir searched the city Boromir was fighting near the main part of the city only with a few men left by his side. He was a proud man and would never retreat from a battle unless commanded too. He was mighty know in his trust he killed many an orc suddenly arrows began to rain down onto the men Boromir dived under the part of rubble to his left and the men were killed know hosts of orcs poured through.

Boromir: "What know? Shall I use this mighty gift to Gondors advantage?"

He then placed the ring on his finger, but a strange thing happened he could see the enemy and they could not see him he was killing them know easily and they fled. As he looked around he was shown a vision and it was the great eye of Sauron piercing his soul as he gaped at this thing, he then fell to the ground holding his head as if fighting thoughs in his mind. In the distance he could hear a faint voice it was Faramirs calling to him.

Faramir: "Boromir!"

Boromir took the ring off and lay there beside the fallen men Faramir ran over to him and kenlt down as the orcs began to come back.

Faramir: "Brother we must make hast, I will carry you if i must"

He checked to see if Boromir had any wounds but he never he then saw in Boromirs palm the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, it was the ring of power calling to him. Faramir could hear voices in his mind for the eye was also on that same spot he knelt there fighting both thoughts off, he shook his head then grabbed his brother and he slowly draged him back to there horse. Boromir had still in his hand the ring tightly gripped so no other could know see. As Faramir mounted the horse with his brother leaning on him he could see his men riding back but being killed by the Nazgul he looked around him and he was trapped there was no way he could outrun the enemy by horse.

Faramir: "Brother we are indeed trapped, the Nazgul watch out path home"

He quickly rode down the south of the river bed outside the city and began to ride north up the stream persued by a small host of orcs firing arrows. Suddenly he thought him and his brother were safe but over the hill swooped a Nazgul knocking Faramir off his horse into the grass below. He lay there motion less for a time while Boromir still laying on the horse. Suddenly as if a cloud had moved from his mind Boromir awoke in himself he looked around and checked that he still had the ring, Boromir jumped down and ran to his brother who was laying there in the grass.

Boromir: "Dont leave me know brother"

Boromir checked his brother to see if he lived and indeed he did, Boromir put Faramir on his shoulders as he slowly walked back to the horse the Nazgul was coming at speed know he put Faramir on his horse and smacked the horse as it rode up the river bed into the distance of the river Anduin. Boromir turned know drawing his sword and killed the oncoming orc trackers he then starred at the Nazgul. Boromir remembered and heard the ring calling him he quickly thrust it on and disapeared but he wondered why it was still speeding toward him for he did not know that the Nazgul could still see him. For a moment time slowed down for Boromir for he knew this was his end. The nazgul smashed into Boromir and the beast ravaged his body then through him across the river bed were he lay and in that moment the ring betrayed him and left his hand as he scrambled up the river bed toward the shelter of Othilien woods. At that moment an orc commander ordered dozens of arrows to be launched that way and Boromir lay under a tree when dozens upon dozens of arrows hit him in the chest and legs. For this was the end of Boromir but not the end of the tale.
