Chapter 8
Lined up were nine strong young men and Eomer was there to make the tenth. He was strong yet he was far from a man as he stood there looking very small all of a sudden to Theoden.
"I wish you all good luck on your last task. If any should fail to
return before the time patrols will be sent out to retrieve you and bring you back safely. Please I urge you to be careful and be
watchful. Many things lurk in the forests of Fangorn and not all of them are friendly."
Eomer gulped again. Not only was the speech raising the fear he
already had but the look on Thorodil's face who stood beside him was scary.
Thorodil was still upset. He had been defeated and not by a man but by a child. He made a note not to underestimate this child again, buthe also wanted to be the first back from this little adventure. He would at any cost not be beaten again by a child, to be laughed at by his peers once again was not an option.
When the sound of silence fell over the crowd Theoden spoke one more time before they were off.
"May the gods watch over you all and bring each and every one of you home safely. Watch out for your fellow man, for the sign of a true Rohirrim is his honor,his courage in the face of danger. Now be off!"
Long and hard Eomer's horse rode until at last he had reached the
edge of Fangorn. Many had already arrived here and yet he had beaten many.Slowly he dismounted careful of his aching body. and went overto join the other boys who were assembling a campfire.
"May I join you?" he asked to the small group. Thorodil looked up and wanted to say no but he knew better than to shun the king's nephew in front of them all. It was not that he didn't like the boy. It was just that Eomer had beaten him and made him look bad in front of everyone.
There they sat each watching as one by one each member of the ten
made it to the forest edge. All conversation turned to how each was going to find something to eat. Each had their own idea as to finding something.
"Well I for one am going into the forest surely there must be
rabbits, or deer in there. I will fell on a have a feast tonight. Who will join me?" Thorodil said slinging his bow over his shoulder. All the others got up ready to follow Thorodil into the forest.
"NO wait where are you going?" Eomer exclaimed jumping to his feet.
"We" Thorodil pointed to himself and the others are going into the
forest. You can stay here if it scares you too much." he snickered.
"Don't you know foul things lurk there. Things that will hunt you
down as if you were merely prey. You should not trust the calm
exterior of the forest for what dwells within is purely evil."
"Fine stay here then if you chose but I am going in." Thorodil said and motioned for the others who followed him into the depths of the forest.
Eomer stood staring at the backs of those who had chosen to follow
Thorodil. He looked back in a moment and realized he was indeed
alone. Sighing he sat down and began to wait hoping the would return soon. He was however not alone for long as one of the boys came running past him.
"Wargs! in the forest! The rest are fighting them off!" the boy said as he hurried on past and mounted his horse again.
Eomer thought he would ride fast and hard to the forest again but
instead the boy rode in the opposite direction.
Many more bys ran pat all of them covered in mud and other foul
things. One ran past covered in blood.
"Are you alright what is happening?" Eomer pleaded with the boy. The boy turned to look at Eomer and replied.
"They were attacked by wargs. Run for your life for I do not think
most will return alive." the boy said hurrying past.
Eomer sat for a moment then sword and bow in hand he began to go into the depths of Fangorn.
