Thank you to all of whom have read Friendship is a Light of Hope. I hoe you will all enjoy Darkness's Cold Embrace. It is slightly different than my other fics, but it has references to depression as well. Here is a little excerpt from it.
The tall man watched him go and his eyes narrowed. "Follow him; I want him as one of the slaves. He is strong and well built; he'll do a fine job and fetch a good price."
Two men stepped out from the shadows and walked from the inn, tracking their prey.
Aragorn walked from the gate. He didn't hear the two people sneak out behind him, or the sound of a heavy object being picked up from the ground. He was still a young Ranger and was more interested in tracking the slave traders than his surroundings. "Hmm…where did they come from?" he asked himself softly in Elvish.
He heard footsteps behind him and saw a person raising a pole over his head, but he was too late to defend himself. The last thing Aragorn remembered was seeing the moon directly above his head before darkness consumed him.
I hope you all enjoy!
