SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1February 27, 3019

Today  Eomer set out.  He took a the Rohirrim to pursue some orcs rumored to be heading this way.  I begged him to let me join them.  He refused.  Am I forever to stay here and care for my uncle?  He has great need of someone to care for him, yet he will accept no help.  Only the help of Wormtongue.  I hate the creature.  His eyes following my every step.  His toxic tongue constantly hissing lies in my uncle's ears.  My king's ears.  Piece by piece he destroys our once strong and noble kingdom of Rohan.  Day by day he accomplishes his goal.  I have often heard  Eomer say he believes Wormtongue is in allegiance more with Saruman then our uncle.  I would not doubt it.  The creature is evil.  The sooner we rid ourselves of it, the sooner we can reclaim Rohan.  The sooner Rohan is reclaimed, the sooner it will be restored to it's high and noble glory of old.  Will that ever happen?  Will my eyes live to see Rohan as it once was?  My heart longs for the day I can once again see honor, truth, and beauty in this country, in place of all the present deceit, lies, and destruction.  I fear the day will never come.
