Fíli? That… that is Fíli's voice! But how?
I must be hallucinating. Yes, that must be it.
No! That is him! He found me! But… but how? Never mind that, where is he? I cannot see him. Wait, I cannot see anything!
Hold on… my eyes are closed, are they not? And where… where is the pain? I remember that all too clearly and the circumstances leading up to it, but… does the lack of pain mean that I am dead?
No, I am not dead. Death cannot be like this, right?
The afterlife cannot be so… dark. It would be beautiful—almost like a reunion with all of those who had died before me. I could see the family I never knew, those who I had lost, those who…
Stop! Why am I dwelling on such things? I am not dead—yet.
Yet.
The Warg! Where is the Warg? I can certainly smell the foul creature…
"Hey! You do not what to eat him, he does not even taste very good—trust me on this!"
Oh, Fíli! He always knows what to say.
Where… where is he? I heard him, but I cannot feel him. It is almost like the wind—or fog—is carrying a disembodied voice from afar.
Is that what is happening? Fíli… Fíli really is not here? He did not find me?
How could he, silly! No one knows where you are, and not even Fíli would know where to start looking.
But I hear my brother yet his presence eludes me. Why? Why?
Am I grasping at false hope?
Am I?
If only I could open my eyes…
