Believe= Faramir about Aragorn
Some things have to be believed to be seen. ~Ralph Hodgson, The Skylark and Other Poems
*"Who are you?" I murmured in quiet awe, my eyes never leaving the sword. Surprisingly, Lord Elrond answered me. "He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. He is descended through many fathers, from Isildur, Elendil's son, of Minas Ithil. He is the chief of the Dunedain in the North, and few are now left of that folk."*
After my mother died I stopped believing in things. I just came to the realization that believing in something caused too much pain when it let you down. I would fight for my country, but I never truly believed in her. I just had a very deep sense of duty. Don't misunderstand me, I've always longed to believe, but I always stop just short of actually doing it. I grew up loving to read stories of great adventures, of great heroes. Oh how I longed to believe them, yet I never truly did. When I had the dream telling me to seek for the sword that was broken I went, but I didn't believe I would really find anything. So I went to the council and beheld the One Ring and my heart shattered at its unveiling. Of course the evil of legends would be true. Alas why could the good not also be? Yet still I couldn't make myself even hope that the good could be true. I just couldn't believe it. Then he stood up and unsheathed the sword. The very sword of the legends I so loved.
And I believed.
A/N: This one was alot shorter than my other one, but I really like it. What do you think?
