Chapter 7
As the sun rose Eomer moaned. His body told him to lay where he was
but he did not listen and slid his feet over the side of the bed. He
went to stand and quickly regretted it as the room spun around and he
fell back to the bed the nausea sweeping over him. He swallowed many
times and tried to settle the bile trying to come up. "It is only
nerves" he told himself as he stood once again and reached for a
fresh shirt. His head hurt as he tried to move about with ease. He
keep telling himself only one more day and then he would be a
Rohirrim and wouldn't his uncle be so proud. This brought a smile to
his saddened face and he finished dressing and slowly made his way
down to join his family.
Eomer slowly scaled down the stairs not realizing how bad he hurt
till he had started down them. "I only have one more day, one more to
prove my worth. To show them all." The words came out but his heart
did not truly believe them. He sighed to himself and resolved to make
it or fall trying. Theoden could not possibly love a failure so he
would not fail no matter what.
As he stepped into the diningroom he thought today I will become a
Rohirrim and he smiled in spite of the pain. Theoden rushed over and
pulled the chair out for him. This was an odd thing to see the king
getting up for someone else even if it was family.
Eomer was actually glad for he felt as if he were going to fall at
any moment. "Thank you milord" he said as he gratefully fell into the
chair.
"Would you like some breakfast Eomer?" Theodred asked looking at him
as if he would shatter.
"Maybe something light I do not want to be sluggish in the last
task." Eomer replied as cheerful as he could.
"When will the last task begin?" Eomer asked trying to change the
subject and perhaps find out how bad he was going to feel afterwards.
Theoden sighed but he turned to the boy. "The task will begin within
the hour and it is the most difficult. You will ride out and spend
the night on the outskirts of Fangorn Forest. There are orcs roaming
about everywhere not to mention who knows what else lurks near their
borders. You must survive alone without food or water and return to
us by nightfall the next day."
Eomer gulped. He had heard horror stories of men who had ridden out
and their bodies being returned missing parts or not even returning
at all. They had become food for one of the minions of the dark lord.
"Eomer NO you can't go there! You will die.. you can't!" Eowyn said
tears rolling down her face.
Eomer put his arms around his sister he knew her fears for they had
been his all along too. To be seperated when he had promised to keep
her safe. I will be back have I ever broken my promise to you?" he
asked her.
Eowyn shook her head but still she clung to him. "I will return to
you little one calm the fears of your heart." Eomer said
Eowyn released her brother and stood up. "Go get ready. I will be
waiting for you. I know you can do this. I will not fret for I know
in my heart you will succeed." she said with a quivering chin.
Eomer stood and hugged her and bowed before his uncle. "I shall be
ready milord I will not be late this time." and with that he left to
go to take a walk in the garden to clear the thoughts from his head.
After he left Theodred looked to his father. "Are you serious?! You
are going to let him go to Fangorn where any number of beasts could
plunder his body and leave it for the birds? Have you no compassion,
have you no love for the boy?"
Theoden turned to him tears in his eyes. "I will not tell him he can
not. He will go whether we allow it or not. He has earned the right,
who am I to crush his dreams. I am only his uncle." and he said no
more afraid the tears would begin to choke away any words.
Eomer walked through the gardens seeing some of the other boys
standing with their fathers getting last minute pointers on how to do
this or how to avoid this. He sighed knowing he had no such person to
turn to. He of course knew he could go to his uncle but he didn't
think the king would take kindly to helping one of his people
therefore giving him the advantage.
One of the boys called out to Eomer and he walked over.
Why are you not getting some help from your father? Surely he has
some things to tell you before you go?"
Eomer hung his head. This boy was new to Rohan having only just moved
into the kingdom. "He is not my father though I wish he were. He is
my uncle and the king surely he does not have time to bother with me
when he has so much else to do."
The boy shrugged and left; leaving Eomer once again alone with his
thoughts. How he wished his father had not perished. He had now been
here so long he could not remember his face sometimes and this
troubled him. He felt love for his uncle but did not think his uncle
loved him like a son only as a duty to the family. Sure he treated
him well and fed and clothed him but he did not want to be simply a
ward to him he wanted a father someone to talk to, someone who he
could share fishing and riding and other things boys shared with
their dads.
I will be the best Rohirrim ever and he will see. He will then be
proud to call me his son. With this thought firmly planted in his
mind he got up to change and pack his bag for the last task.
Up in his room he went through what he was going to bring. *a bedroll
and extra shirt and some salve should he get a cut." They were not
allowed food or water for they were to hunt their own food and search
for their own water. He was allowed to bring a waterskin to fill once
he did find a source of water. He went to pick up his bag and
realized just how light it was He slung it with ease over his
shoulder and began to walk to the door pulling his weapons on as he
went.
Until next time
