He approaches her from behind; in empty, abandoned halls and from dark corners. (always dark)

Éowyn does not like to turn around to face him as he speaks to her. Instead, she feels his voice as it passes her ear. (slithering like a snake)

"Yes, I believe you would. You dream, all these beautiful dreams, but when they end, I am all there ever will be. I remind you where you belong."

She can feel him retreat, melting back into the shadows. (his realm)
