Alarm (Éothain)

"Alert his king to the trouble brewing"

He watched the fire approaching as it jumped from thatched roof to thatched roof and knew what his mother was planning, even before she led him and his sister to the giant horse that he was not supposed to ride. The horse moved as his sister cried. They couldn't stop. At any other time, the golden hall would have been a magnificent sight to behold, but all it gave him was a sense of relief as he lost his grip and he fell. But he battled on against exhaustion, because he had to alert his king to the trouble brewing.
